            Now Argentina holds that place, together with Ecuador and Peru, but the biggest bootlicker in south america is still Paraguay.

    Apparently there are a gaggle of countries that are “Global Partners”. Some of these make sense (dogs of the empire such as Australia and Japan), but I have no fucking clue what’s up with the rest.

        Damdin Sükhbaatar rolling in his grave. Which is impressive cause he was cremated…in 2005 after being exhumed which feels weird. To make room for new monuments apparently. Replaced his mausoleum with one for Genghis Khan. Gotta love ethno-nationalism

    The president announced a thorough purge of the diplomatic corps and intelligence officers who have sabotaged his foreign policy, particularly his relationship with China. “All the ambassadors — those I call white because they were raised in feudal diplomacy — are leaving.”

    He added: “The change in embassy staff in China sabotages relations, changes my schedules, cancels appointments without our knowledge.” He also criticized the intelligence representative in the US and proposed suspending the deployment of officials to that country: “We’re going to replace all those representatives. In fact, I think none of them should go to the United States anymore.”

    holy fucking based. finally a leader who remembers how to purge the ranks. fidel-salute

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance).

Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like ‘Raid: Shadow Legends’ in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.
