#Democrats and #Republicans ain't happy with this. Good, both those parties are a barrel of mostly rotten apples. And what Matthew is saying here is the same thing #JesseVentura said in the late 90's when he successfully ran for Governor of Minnesota and neither are wrong.

Pat Buchanan, 1999: “By moving NATO onto Russia’s front porch, we have scheduled a twenty-first century confrontation. … America will face a hellish dilemma: risk confrontation with a nuclear-armed Russia determined to recreate its old sphere of influence, or renege on solemn commitments and see NATO collapse.” Therefore, he said, “Offering NATO memberships to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and, as some urge, Ukraine is rashness bordering on madness.” Referring to maps the Clinton team must have ignored, Buchanan warned, “This would put the Russian base at Kaliningrad behind NATO lines and bring into a U.S.-led alliance three nations with huge Russian minorities.” Foreseeing future conflict, he observed that “Latvia is almost half Russian; eastern Ukraine, almost entirely Russian. America could neither defend nor liberate these nations without the risk of nuclear war.” Pat Buchanan, A Republic, Not an Empire: Reclaiming America’s Destiny (New York: Regnery, 1999), 17–18, 22.

Spotting a familiar face, chooms? 👀 You may remember seeing him in Konpeki Plaza during The Heist in 2077. Now, the renowned braindance director is making another appearance in Night City. @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN returns as Hideyoshi Oshima in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2!

‘Father of PlayStation’ Ken Kutaragi says he understands the frustration about PlayStation ending physical disc production but he thinks dedicating resources to physical media is not economically reasonable “I understand that physical discs have become a metaphor for ‘owning’ games. I really understand that mentality… But nobody thinks [physical media] is necessary for a networked device like a smartphone, for example, because people feel that they will keep their content. So it’s a mentality. “I really understand [why some people are upset], but I don’t think it’s economically reasonable. Maybe it’s a mentality issue.” “I’m not the CEO at PlayStation anymore, but we still have some common [viewpoints]. Right now, Sony Interactive Entertainment has many people who have come from outside, like from Gaikai or streaming companies. So it’s understandable that by utilizing network connectivity [they may see] PlayStation as not just a game console, but also a content terminal. Maybe that’s how those people are thinking. But this has caused some friction with game enthusiasts.” videogameschronicle.com/news…

Which character are you?
Image showing six characters from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered. Below hexagonal portraits are short descriptions of their main personality traits. For Geralt, text reads, "Keeps his cool, protects his people, always there when you need him." For Yennefer, text reads, "Does everything her way, 100% done with everyone's nonsense, sarcastic." For Ciri, text reads, "Never gives up, rebellious, always up to something." For Triss, text reads, "Charming, supportive, will set you on fire if provoked." For Dandelion, text reads, "Main character syndrome, yapper, easily gets into trouble." For Roach, text reads, "Always there for you, shows up in the most unexpected places, has a hard time walking in a straight line." The background of the image shows a forest landscape largely obscured by fog, with a leshen visible in the corner.

It's worth remembering that Obama, in 2016, was asked by The Atlantic's neocon editor, @JeffreyGoldberg, why he didn't do more to protect Crimea and E. Ukraine. Obama said Ukraine is a vital interest to Russia, but not the US, and it'd be insane to risk war with Russia over it.

Warmongers and neocons have been using this same dumb clichĂŠ for decades: You must choose: either you're Churchill or Chamberlain. The only way you can be Churchill is if you fight wars and bomb everywhere. If you refrain from war, you're Chamberlain. History for imbeciles:

Trump wisely backs off from his barbaric decision to live-stream Nidal Hasan's death by firing squad. It's comforting, I guess, that there are still some minimal public standards of decency and humanity that won't tolerate the crossing of this particular bridge. I'm sure many MAGA faithful are disappointed.

One of the few journalists who has questioned and dissented from the full NATO line on Ukraine is expelled from Latvia for that crime. The irony is that @leonidragozin has always vocally denounced Russia's invasion, but no dissent at all is tolerated in NATO countries.

@leonidragozinOct 14
I can now confirm that yesterday I was notified of my expulsion from Latvia where I lived for 12 years. This, I believe, is a long-brewing revenge by far right politicians for my investigation into their links to Russian neo-Nazis who found refuge in Kyiv and who circulated the manifesto of Christchurch shooter in 2019. It is also a punishment for my commentary on the Russian aggression in Ukraine and for Pavel Sheremet investigation. The notification doesn’t point to any specific misdemeanours or statements which prompted the decision. I was declared persona non grata, a status designed for diplomats who enjoy immunity from prosecution, not for ordinary people. This was done - as far right politicians who spearheaded the decision openly admit - in order to deny me justice in the Latvian court system: PNG status cannot be appealed in courts. This makes me conclude that I am facing political persecution. For me it is a huge personal tragedy. I am being evicted from my only beloved home, deprived of my circle of friendship and support. I love Latvia, the land of my ethnic Latvian ancestors, and have no sense of revenge. I will always remain pro-Latvian. It makes me immensely sad that high positions in the Latvian government have been captured by forces whose closest political relation is Putin and who are using Putin’s aggression in Ukraine as a pretext for eroding the rule of law and democracy in the European Union. My stance on the war in Ukraine remains unchanged. I condemn the Russian aggression and support Ukraine’s sovereignty over occupied territories. Ukraine is a wound in my heart, not a source of political gain as it is for my persecutors. But I’ll continue to criticise Western countries for mishandling this conflict and not acting in the best interests of the Ukrainian people. I shall not be gagged. Shame on those who understand what is happening but look away or buy into smear campaign waged against me by the pro-war lobby and far right info dumps. One day, they’ll come for you, too.
