this feels so black hawk down
trump might fail to solidify his position as an autocrat.
Long-term that’s inevitable, but to not be recognised as a “successful” autocrat is so very trump.
Hilarity.
It’s only ever been about creating an unfair business advantage for team trump - no matter the cost to others. Human lives, global security be damned.
Make America Gormless (Again)
There are other reasons for the UK government not to award or continue Palantir contracts but this statement of intent by its CEO must surely be decisive?
"Contracts on whether the price of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies will be higher or lower in five or 15 minutes are attracting roughly $70mn in daily trading volume across Polymarket and Kalshi"
just stupid layered on stupid. a stupid club sandwich, wrapped in stupid.
UAE :: reality versus state sanctioned media.
For the right $, people have happily lived in an Orwellian lite society for years.
We’re handing away power & security to a company that has contracts with nations that are hostile to our country, and Palantir is pooling all that data.
Perhaps we misunderstand the premise of national interest.
After all, the UK has good form since 2016.
*teens laughing behind closed doors*
is his motivation ideological or, looking at picture, something else?
and yet now they are a bigger threat that will better operate in the shadows knowing that the US no longer follows international law and conventions
the offer of free AI for procurement proved irresistible
Brexit always meant the UK inevitably becoming a rule taker instead of one of the rule makers, this was obvious to anyone who gave it half a thought…🤦♂️
UAE is not a free society “accused are alleged to have used an information network or information technology tool to broadcast, publish, republish or circulate false news, rumours or provocative propaganda that may incite public opinion or disturb public security”

but less genocidal… for now
any uptick in local influencers gushing about Dubai should be a good indicator
Collectively, insiders have sold $9,649,555,638 more than they've purchased over the last two years. This includes Palantir Director Peter Thiel's nearly $290 million share sale last week -- the largest-ever insider sale for Palantir. finance.yahoo.com/news/nvidia-...
*amazement*
If there were an absence of a first term and Jan 6th, nor evidence of his criminality, xenophobic and treasonous behaviours… then this would make perfect sense.
This isn’t gullible, it’s intentional blindness.
He’s giving some Fallout Robert House vibes
I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.
Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.
The 25th is never happening.
BREAKING: The usually snarky White House account has not responded to Iran’s attacks on social media! Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Not very FDR
True. And yet this was obvious 6, 10, 25…. years ago.
Macron’s swansong can’t be stating the obvious about most of the geopolitical challenges we have been facing since the beginning of his presidency.
While this is true, what would the West do given our recent performance in dealing with America’s derangement?
Or dealing with russia?
Whereas weak russia can’t control its genocidal epidemic
