In the Americas, United States, and Canada:

-Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States and Canada to fuel instability and separatism against neoliberal globalist Western hegemony, such as, for instance, provoke “Afro-American racists” to create severe backlash against the rotten political state of affairs in the current present-day system of the United States and Canada. Russia should “introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social, and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics”.

NYT doesn’t do real journalism anymore, they just report on the narrative.

Congress passed aid to Ukraine.

Remember when Trump threatened to withhold aid to Ukraine in order to pressure Zelenskyy into announcing an investigation into Biden during an election?

He was impeached for that.

So, this time he put on a little theater skit in the White House’s Oval Office so that he can be immune by claiming that he paused aid as an official act resulting from an official meeting.

Trump is simply pausing aid by using executive powers in bad faith. Congress already approved the money but Trump can delay it for a long time before courts get involved.

We’re basically watching the sitting US President openly shaking down a country for protection money (rare earth rights) while it’s in the process of being attacked by Russia.

Russia already wins this. They’re never going to have to give up the land that they claimed and Trump is going to give Russia a ban on Ukraine joining NATO on top of it.

As an aside, did you know that around 3 billion USD passed through the TRUMP cryptocurrency before it collapsed. Kinda makes you wonder if the previous owners of that money got what they paid for.

The war was enough to drive the civilians away. The ceasefire just re-filled the warzone for round 2 of the air campaign.

I’m using a 3080 and I do seem to have the occasional problem that my ATI using friends don’t, nothing that has prevented me from playing.

Example: Recently, gamescope hasn’t been working. So I’ve been using xwayland instead. Basically I don’t get HDR or VRR, but it’ll be fixed (it may already be fixed because I’m on a rolling release distro (Arch, btw)).

I haven’t, yet, run into a ‘This game doesn’t work because you have an NVIDIA card’. On the other hand, I can run local AI trivially easy because my card supports CUDA.
