TANK vs TESLA

⚡️🇩🇪 Friedrich Merz is Germany’s new chancellor — elected on the second attempt by the Bundestag. He secured 325 votes in favor, 289 against, with 1 abstention, out of 618 total votes cast.

His appointment now awaits confirmation by President Steinmeier before he takes office.

I mean, give the man points for refusing to give up on his dream.

Jesus is risen. He lives today and reigns in victory.

I mean this would be terrible because Trump’s strategy has been highly effective so far. What will everyone do without the help of Rubio and Witkoff??

This is a smart move. There probably isn’t a country anywhere in the world who couldn’t learn from Ukraine’s experience with drone warfare.

It’s from the point of view of the drone pilot, as if they were personally flying the aircraft.

The number of casualties from the Russian ballistic missile strike on Sumy has risen to 129, including 17 children, according to Ukraine's State Emergency Service. The death toll from the attack earlier today increased to 35.

Trump full-on accusing Zelensky of starting the war Russia launched against Ukraine in 2014, before Zelensky was even president, and escalated in 2022 with it unprovoked, full-blown invasion. Not a single criticism toward Putin, a day after the deadliest single attack of the war by Russia this year.

Hopefully escalation on the Kerch bridge.

A shotgun-equipped drone from the 5th Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces hunts down Russian quadcopters.

To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if he is genuinely unaware of the fact that Russia doesn't fully control the "annexed regions". It's not Witkoff's fault, though, all his briefs are in Russian, and that is a hard language to master

Does anyone anywhere know how to permanently get rid of these google sign-in popup windows?

I never, ever want to sign in to anything with a google account.

People are learning/remembering why we made him a one-term president in the first place.

Three years ago, Russia bombed the Kramatorsk train station a lifeline for civilians fleeing war. The missile was marked: “For the children.”

61 people were killed, including 9 children. 121 were injured.

Three days ago, Russia killed 9 more children in another strike.

Shocking. You men this administration isn’t going to willingly give up the power to make it up as it goes along??

Christians, we cannot support this type of mockery and humiliation. Wanting legal boarder protection is one argument, but this type of gleeful insult to humanity is Christ-less.

This appears to be a completely unserious push from the US. We should be trying to help Ukraine—not plunder it.
