Adam Baldwin is involved. 

He is such an old school right wing but, it is hard for me to hate him.

Zach Levi though, that fucker can go fuck himself.

But this is about Firefly

Something to consider: If NATO doesn't back Trump, then that gives him justification for taking Greenland and ending the freeloading organization once and for all. Sane? Absolutely not. Reasonable? Nope. Trumpian? 100%

I don't think "don't upset our NATO friends because they won't support us in the future" was why he backed down on Greenland.

And NATO is dying already, it's just a matter of when it actually passes now.

It does have a little bit of that famous Hitler bunker scene about it.

Lula is on his first new term, actually. 

Third, including those of 2003-2011, but you understood perfectly what I said.
Enjoy your Global South Lava-Jato (Car wash) corrupt pro-Putin selective anti-imperialist while you can, he is paving the way for more Bolsonaro and the like.

P-S: added a translation.

Stop sanewahsing Trump, guys.

Also, lol, Trump WAS going to bail on the allies once they took over policing the strait:

They should come and they should help us protect it. You could make the case that maybe we shouldn't even be there at all, because we don't need it. We have a lot of oil. We're the number one producer anywhere in the world times two."

There are always more plays for a real estate magnate wanting more to sell.

Norway, for instance. Azerbaijan. Kuwait. But most importantly Brazil. His old friend Bolsonaro is suffering during house arrest. Get Brazil, and you have a jackpot. Country divided between Bolsonaristas and the ones who supported Lula. The highest rate of conversions to Evangelical faiths in the world. Also: Hot chicks, but yucky brown colour.

Old US ally? No matter. Who cares anymore.

Both Bolsonaro and Lula don't object much (ahem), if at all, to Putin's war on Ukraine so Putin could lose another ally?  Well, happened to Venezuela, but Venezuela was in a much rougher state than Brazil.

Bolsonaro mostly complains about Chinese windmills causing global warming, while Lula is an old man who likes football and socialism. I know which one has been better for Brazil. The latter. Neither cares much about a war in Europe unless there is money to be made. If Europe expects Brazil to come out and fight... then we have to wait.

Nobody expected them to fight, just not siding with the Kremlin while losing money in the process, cf. ammo that Germany was about to pay to gift to Ukraine.

Also, Lula's socialism is of the extremely corrupt variety, since his second term, so it's not doing a lot of good to Brazil.

Less crazy than Mijairzinho though, give or take an export embargo on musical instruments precious wood.

Both are dependent on Russian fertilisers, anyways. Their respective political clientèles with peasants and magnates, as a matter of fact.

I read they all got new shoes. That's a fairly low payoff for selling your soul.
