Hehe, I was thinking about that as I wrote it…

Here in Sweden, we normally make fun of Norwegians with stupid jokes, and we have one about a Norwegian guy traveling to the UK with his car.

He is driving down the motorway in the UK, listening to the radio when he hears this:

“This is an emergency alert, there is a car driving against the flow of traffic on the A1 just south of Newcastle…”

The Norwegian blurts out (in Norwegian):

“One? There are thousands”

I was sad when I learned that the 2012 Olympic games were going to be held in London, it would have been cool to hold them here in Stockholm, we still have and use the old Olympic venue from 1912, and it would have been a cool theme for the games, “a century of progress” or something.

But eh, I only judge the quality of the games based on the opening ceremony as I don’t watch anything else, and London 2012 was a banger.

When I read the “HRH” title abbreviation it reminded me of my first trip abroad.

I am a Swede and in the early nineties me and my family decided to take a trip to the UK, we took the family car and dad drove to the ferry, this was a Swedish car, with Swedish plates, and a clear national identifying sticker on the back noting us as Swedes.

As we drove around in the UK, we noted that a lot of cars seemed to flash their indicators at us, weird…

It took a few days but then we realized that our registration plate said “HRH 123”, and we felt quite self conscious after that…

Anyway that was my story, and I’d rather post about that than read more about the shithead this article concerns.

Ok this sounds bad, but I have a question…

Was the camera system accessible from the internet?

If not, this issue is far too overblown.

Yeah, as everyone knew would happen when the cowards began hiding their identities and acting like a secret police on amfetamins.

I have always found that his name was fitting…

If we compare Trump to a phishing email, they are remarkably close.

Use of language: Phishing emails usually incorporate misspellings and bad grammar, this is done to prevent people who are too detail oriented from wasting the scammer’s time, if they sort themselves out the scammer can focus on the gullible people who will believe them later in the process. Trump uses child like grammar in the same way, it turns away educated people from his fans, reducing the risk that they will start convincing followers that Trump is bad, which increase the echo chamber effect.

Use of hyperbole: Phishing emails will push hard for fast action, telling you that doing X is extremely important, and needs to be done now. Same with Trump, there is always a big crisis, putting you on edge, stressing you out, this further reduce his follower’s ability to use critical thinking, so they will have an easier time to mindlessly support whatever action they are told will solve the crisis.

There are way more similarities, but I am on mobile, and starting to cramp, so I end this comment here.

TL;DR: Trump is a scam email.

Eh, “President Trump memorial garbage dump” does have a certain appeal to it…

Great work Ukraine!

Just be ready for a massive retaliation on your own power grid.

That is not accurate to the situation in Ukraine.

Since the peak of the full scale invasion began in 2022, Russia has lost control of about 50 000 km2 of Ukrainian territory.

Entire fronts have been pushed back out of Ukraine.

So while the scale is still on Russias side, the war is going badly for them.

I am taking your logic to the extreme trying to find the limits of it, you simply stated that as long Russia hols land in Ukraine then Russia is winning, which misses most data telling how well the parties are doing.

Ok so what you are telling me is that a country which invades another is still winning even if their army is in full retreat, as long as they remain in the other without giving up?

Because that doesn’t make any sense.

There was an press conference in Germany or the Netherlands with the US ambassador a few months ago when the ambassador refused to answer a question from one reporter only to have in repeated by the subsequent reporters until he ended the conference too early.

I don’t remember the topic, just that the ambassador got quite annoyed at not being able to avoid answering.

Russia is using WWII equipment, Ukraine recently retook a big piece of land, Russia’s economy is on the brink of collapse, opposition of the regime grows bolder day by day.

This does not seem like a winning power to me.

I think the IRL version just dropped

Exactly how is Russia winning the war in Ukraine?

Just to clarify, as an EU citizen, I have had to scan my fingerprints the last few times I got a new ID card

Remember that Kissinger also got the Nobel Peace Prize, I don’t think Obama being given the prize undermined it that much
