[l] Mit Freunden wie diesen brauchst du keine Feinde mehr. Trump pullt ein "Schöne Wirtschaft haben Sie da! Wäre ja schade, wenn der was zustöße" mit Kanada, und Trudeau reist direkt besorgt nach Florida zu Trump.

Und hier wird es ein klarer Fall von "Not the Onion":

According to two people at the table who heard the discussion...

Ja, meine Damen und Herren. Richtig gelesen. Die haben sich da bei Trumps ranzigem Golfplatz in Florida getroffen im Restaurant, und Gäste am Nebentisch haben das dann Fox News geschildert.

Paraphrasing the discussion, Trump told Trudeau that Canada has failed the U.S. border by allowing large amounts of drugs and people across the border, including illegal immigrants from over 70 different countries.

Kannste dir nicht ausdenken, sowas. Zuständig für das Abweisen von Einwanderern aus Kanada ist natürlich nicht Kanada sondern die USA. Not the Onion!

Sources say Trump became more animated when it came to the U.S. trade deficit with Canada, which he estimated to be more than $100 billion.

Ich sehe da ein Dr.Evil vor meinem geistigen Auge. ONE HUNDRED BILLION *kunstpause* DOLLARS! Ja gut, äh, ein Handelsdefizit entsteht, wenn die USA in Kanada lauter Waren kaufen und selbst nichts im Tausch anzubieten haben, an dem die Kanadier interessiert wären. Da kann Kanada erstmal nichts für. Not the Onion!

The president-elect told the prime minister if Canada cannot fix the border issues and trade deficit, he will levy a 25% tariff on all Canadian goods on day one when he returns to office.

Wie soll Trudeau denn bitte irgendwas davon fixen?! Soll der eine Mauer bauen und der USA die Rechnung schicken? Soll der mit kanadischen Steuergeldern jetzt McDonald's-Happy-Meals importieren oder wie stellt Trump sich das vor?

Mann Mann Mann.

Aber wartet, das ist noch nicht der Grund, wieso ich das blogge. Hier kommt der Grund:

Trudeau told Trump he cannot levy the tariff because it would kill the Canadian economy completely. Trump replied – asking, so your country can't survive unless it's ripping off the U.S. to the tune of $100 billion?

Trump then suggested to Trudeau that Canada become the 51st state, which caused the prime minister and others to laugh nervously, sources told Fox News.

Außer nervös Lachen gibt es da ja auch keine sinnvolle Reaktion drauf. Art of the Deal, dass ich nicht lache.

[l] Not the Onion:

The guy who used Midjourney to create an award-winning piece of AI art demands copyright protections.

Moment, Sekunde, nur dass ihr das richtig versteht. Der verlangt nicht Copyrightschutz für die Künstler, deren Werke die "KI" gestohlen hat, um "sein" "Werk" zu generieren. Nein. Er will, dass seine Kunsthehlerei unter Copyright fällt.

Not from The Onion: US Attorney General Merrick #Garland announces that the Department of Justice has filed criminal indictments against six senior Hamas officials, including Yahya Sinwar, for "conspiring to kill American citizens" and "using weapons of mass destruction" following the death of six hostages in the #Gaza Strip, one of whom was an American dual citizen.

This pig can't go after #Trump and domestic terrorists who attempted a coup in the US, but repeating the BS lies of pre Iraq invasion to go after enemies of genocidal regime of #Israel.

All because Israel killed a dual citizen of US and blamed it on Hamas.

He didn't give a rats ass when Israel murdered American reporters, aid workers and medics. Not to forget using chemical weapons against American citizens protesting the genocide.

Fucking infuriating.

Not the Onion : The new British aircraft carrier named Queen Elizabeth, which was supposed to travel to the Middle East to participate in war operations against Yemen, broke down off the coast of England...

I guess Sunak is going to push for more tax cuts and cuts in social spendings to repair the floating junk they have on their hands.

Billionaire Peter Thiel Backs Doping-Friendly Olympics Rival — What To Know About The ‘Enhanced Games’

The Enhanced Games said it will not test athletes for drugs or other performance enhancers at its events—it is not clear when the first competition will take place—explaining it “embrace[s] the inclusion of science in sports” and is “unencumbered by anachronistic legacy systems” that are “anti-science” and stigmatize “enhanced athletes.”

Not from the onion : The Ukrainian TV channel 1+1 has said that the Ukrainian armed forces' counter-offensive was only a "psychological operation against the aggressors".

🗣 "The war is being fought not only on the ground or in the air, but also in people's minds. Ukrainian psychological operations will be described in school textbooks in the future. One of the most successful parts of the psychological operation is the counter-offensive. For several months, we deceived the enemy into believing that we were conducting a large-scale ground operation. Cyber troops spread this idea in the enemy's (Russian) social networks and minds. For months now, the Russians have been subjected to the strongest psychological warfare, while our (Ukrainian) troops have been gaining strength and getting stronger for a real counter-offensive".
