True. Nasser being given his victory also helped proliferate Pan-Arab sentiment, which emboldened revolutionaries in Iraq to commit to the July revolution in 1958 and may or may not have helped give rise to the Baathists in Syria. Gaddafi was also inspired by Nasser's book on how to start a revolution. France pulling out also exposed their decline to the Algerian FLN, which caused them to intensify their attacks and, with increased support from Nasser, subsequently forced France to pull out and the subsequence governments were all socialist, soviet-aligned for a few decades. This isn't a condemnation or anything of America's support of Nasser, it's more a condemnation of how pursuing short-term political gains can lead to long term consequences. Of course we can call all of this out in hindsight so it's not like it's particularly deep.
I'm sure they're already trying to spin stories about how ackshually chuds Biden already had it arranged and Trump just happened to benefit. Remember that in their minds all good comes from their globohomo efforts and only bad comes from anyone else. Any economic success Trump sees will be rebranded as Biden's economy being "resilient to Trump's damage" etc it's all so tiresome
Given this it's worth mentioning Trump has said that when he called Elon (I believe about getting Starlink for NC) that Elon was playing games while talking to him and simultaneously put the order in to get Starlink out there.
assange wouldn't be 'coming home' to the US, he's an Australian national.
Snowden getting a juicy pardon right after Tulsi gets confirmed would be amusing. It's something people ree'd at her over during her committee hearing.
I'll give it 1% chance. Only because I would love for it to happen.
I've seen some interviews with Trump put out recently that covers it and he states along the lines of 'Both sides have very strong opinions on it, I stay out of it.' If he does pardon Snowden, it'll be towards the end of his term. Not least because he needs the support from the RINOs and neocons until then.
Easy now--when you're going after the big fish, you've got to be patient and give them a little slack so they let their guard down.
Elvis LIVES!!!
Imagine being the feds who were on that case. You're one of the good ones, actually doing something of note, then a few years later the guy you caught gets traded for a C-list athlete who took drugs into a nation hostile to it. I can imagine that would leave feelings of resentment
They didn't want excuses. The Republican Party before Trump was controlled opposition. Its called the Uniparty for a reason. Trump was a threat to "Their Democracy" because he didn't subscribe to the Washington DC consensus.
Her story sucks. I wonder if she felt pressured by her peers in the US to make that donation, too. $51.80 is a weird number to donate, so I wonder if it was a "I'm not like the other Ruskies" payment.
seriously if I ever go to Asia I'm going with brand new clothes, they will bust your ass for a random crumb of weed in a pocket stitch
I'm not entirely convinced they're still alive
Possible although I’d more likely chalk the weird number up to an exchange rate thing. Like an even 1000 rubles works out to $51.80 or something like that(made up number of course. I’ve got no clue what the exchange rate is)
