The UK was the most belligerent NATO nation in the Ukraine war. We literally supplied and pushed for the use of long range missiles into Russia. If you believe that Russia will view British troops as peacekeepers you are delusional. "Older men declare war. But it is the youth that must fight and die."

There's a tendency among "libertarians" and Bitcoiners to tell the world how important having children is. Now I will be the first to agree about the importance of family. There is perhaps a separate debate to be had about the arrogance and shaming nature of some of these statements. If you have remained silent on, or worse supported the genocide in Gaza I would appreciate it though if you STFU about your love of children.

Bitcoin has fallen 10% so far this month, but analysts say it has dropped between 25% and 30% in January in past post-halving markets. #Bitcoin #January https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-january-slump-nothing-new-post-halving-analysts

The US history of trying to undermine the Syrian government goes back much further than Biden, Trump or Obama. Just one example from Wikileaks in 2006 where US diplomats discuss tactics for weakening Assad. "Possible action: -- PLAY ON SUNNI FEARS OF IRANIAN INFLUENCE: There are fears in Syria that the Iranians are active in both Shia proselytizing and conversion of, mostly poor, Sunnis. Though often exaggerated, such fears reflect an element of the Sunni community in Syria that is increasingly upset by and focused on the spread of Iranian influence .................."

Looks a little like a head and shoulder pattern.

For much of the last three years I haven't had too much of a problem with the for you algorithm on X. Yes it feeds one's biases but it was random enough to provide views of those other than in my echo chamber. I appreciated this even if I often disagreed with them. Recently though "ForYou" has become nose to tail Elon Musk and his sycophants. And I don’t even follow him. So a little advice to Nostr clients when they design their algorithms. I don't wish to live in an ideological silo, X was at it's best when there was a broad ranging discussion. If you repeatedly use your client as a vehicle to push a particular viewpoint, I'm off. nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg nostr:npub1nz64zngcqm8vj8nhrdkcjpfwn2rcaqysnxec88tqfclp5afrpglsqm0w5y nostr:npub14mcddvsjsflnhgw7vxykz0ndfqj0rq04v7cjq5nnc95ftld0pv3shcfrlx
