I’ve already seen “it’s AI generated”.

Unfortunately NASA is always tied up with politics. I would not be surprised if the whole ego stroking speech was a mandate by the current American administration.

Or, if not a mandate, pandering. Because if the politicians in charge of giving NASA its funding don’t like what’s being said, they will likely cut their funding, even in the middle of a long-term successful project.

It doesn’t.

France.

Egypt didn’t invade other countries to hijack half its population

Oh yes. Yes they did. Oh gods they absolutely did. As well as casual genocide.

Mansa Musa had slaves as far as the term slavery goes but they had some rights and weren’t used as literal machine cattle.

That depends. Every culture that did slavery had slaves that were worked to death and slaves that were used in the household.

Musa’s personal slaves were dressed in silks and wore gold. But a portion of the still had their balls cut off, and all of them still had owners.

Thw same cannot be said for the slaves outside the royal palace, or all the ones used in the trans-Saharan slave trade, which, I must remind you once more, was Ghana’s and Mali’s biggest trade for centuries.

… Right… Egypt totally didn’t… And Mansa Musa famously didn’t have an industrial scale slave kingdom…

The thing you posted doesn’t address that slave trade existed in Africa for thousands of years.

The trans-Saharan slave trade existed long before colonialism, and the major sponsers of this trade were Ghana and then later Mali (the latter of which profited from the trans-Atlantic slave trade when it started).

That’s just accounting for West Africa, as the red sea slave trade existed during ancient Egypt, and continued until the fall of the Ottoman Empire.

If you want to present facts you’ll first need to be educated enough to actually learn what facts are.

I’m not American. And I’m not dying for anyone who can’t be bothered to learn history.

History isn’t racism. Slavery was everywhere.

Hold up. I’m all fine with apologising for slavery if one participated in it… But does this include everyone who participated, or is this another appearences type thing that completely ignores the majority of African slaves were bought from African slave markets run by various West-Coast African kingdoms?

… The world has gone very wrong when this doesn’t even sound so unbelievable. I only see one issue:

So far the US seems to have given up trying to make pretext for anything. Trump can do anything he wants and be worshipped for it.

One country already bombed another, and falsely thought that they could do so unchallenged.

The commanding officers said that the intention is to maximise the carnage in order to bring about Armagaddon.

So… Um… When they command airstrikes on schools and kill thousands of children they genuinely believe they are the good guys.

People like this should be put into a nuthouse. Failing that, shot.

And we still don’t even have a declared goal for this war. Uhm… Besides all the bullshit religious rhetoric, of course.

Good.

Drones is the one thing Ukraine never had a shortage of. Always ammunition. Particularly for guided artillery.

Trump doesn’t get what he wants. Trump throws a temper tantrum.

Not all your chorizo, I hope. I’d like some up here in Denmark.

Yeah… Funny… That’s what Putler has been doing each time he was invited for peace talks.

Tyranny has the same playbook.

Maybe. Looking like the best option right now.
