Don't forget Arse

Orange twat announced 50% tariffs on Canadian aluminium and steel earlier, now withdrawn.
School shootings, and storming the capital building and killing a couple of policemen is ok, damaging Tesla showrooms thats domestic terrorism!
Military aid and intelligence sharing for Ukraine is back as well, guess the airport infrastructure they dismantled at Reseszow airport last week will be put back in now.

It is odd that we still call it “tap water” and not “faucet water”.

It's impossible to get your head around how fucking thick you must be to even give this a second, fleeting thought, never mind make it a top priority for political and 'diplomatic' efforts. You can't just buy another country you fucking weirdo

They did with Alaska, that's probably what he is comparing it to.

That was only 160 years ago though..

The sale of Alaska was initiated by the Russians IIRC.

It was indeed. Purchased at 2 Cents an acre (equivalent of 36 Cents in 2023).

Interesting, it looks like a vote on the future Denmark/Greenland relationship could be on the cards...

Donald Trump doubles planned tariff on Canada steel and aluminium

The US president escalates the trade war with Canada and threatens more levies.

www.bbc.co.uk

70% of the alooominum the US consumes comes from Canada. Inflation and manufacturing job losses for all. Sheer lunacy

The EU response;

EU wields ‘sledgehammer’ against Trump tariffs

Brussels strikes back against the U.S. president’s 25 percent levies on steel and aluminum.

Not just the Natives we did dirty innit.

(To be clear, any story you’ve heard about Americans buying Native land for beads is apocryphal, though upsettingly pervasive).

Also, Russia was broke as fuck at the time. Crimean War I think.

We do use some of these! Maybe not meaning the same, though. Always loved how melodramatic “torch” is in place of “flashlight”.

At the risk of it meaning the same there as here… “rubber”?
