Making money on other people’s work is literally capitalism.

Capitalists take the surplus of workers, because they own the means of production.

Call yourself an “expat” and apparently you never have to integrate.

So… this is for Gazans who “do not want to live under Hamas”, but they wouldn’t be allowed to leave.

It seems to me like Israel is creating a concentration camp and will declare that anyone outside of it is Hamas and they can kill them all with impunity.

I’m willing to believe that it’s a mix of both malice and incompetence.

Ukraine seems to have ended up with a good leader doing that. 😉

Labor is labor. Stay united, comrades!

I honestly don’t know how people browse without an ad blocker. 😬

Or the Obama administration.

I think that Netanyahu had to move ahead of the US, since he’s running out of enemies that haven’t been bombed into submission. It didn’t occur to me that he would attack Iran.

That’s Secretary of State Colin Powell testifying to Congress about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, during the Bush Jr. administration, I think.

In the Netherlands we literally cannot spend the money we have allocated for our military since there aren’t enough Dutch weapons to buy. 😬
