He has also warned of a potential EU “superstate” threatening national sovereignty.

If national sovereignty is important to them, then they’re in for a rude awakening when they’re tied to ‘ol Vladimir’s mast.

Small dick energy on Putins part.

I’d expect him to put Ukraine on a silver platter and hand it over to Putin, but if he’s able to get Russia to fuck off from Ukraine then yay, i guess.

They have a moat/stickiness because of their immense user count. It’s unfortunately ubiquitous in too many lives.

Trying to make sure that his legacy will be “hardballing the US into oblivion”.

Car knows trains is optimised transport, even if Phony Stark insists on “self crashing autonomous pods”.

Italy has to be Italy :) And Juventus Football Club plays calcio, so while they do have their own awesome word they seem to be on team football ;)

😄 Thank you. Obviously not what I was referring to, but still a point.

In Japan the most common term is sakkā, that came into use from US influence after the war. Both futtobōru and football is in use, though.

Although the official English name of the Japan Football Association uses the term “football”, the term sakkā (サッカー), derived from “soccer”, is much more commonly used than futtobōru (フットボール). The JFA’s Japanese name is Nippon Sakkā Kyōkai.

Before World War II the term in general use was shūkyū (蹴球, kick-ball), a Sino-Japanese term. With previously exclusive Japanese terms replaced by American influence after the war, sakkā became more commonplace. In recent years, many professional teams have named themselves F.C.s (football clubs), with examples being FC Tokyo and Kyoto Sanga FC.

Most nations of the world refer to the beautiful game as football, or a derivative thereof. Then there’s that one nation…

It’s a good thing that no one is hell bent on sowing division and discord, then.

All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

But it is something I can never do.

On track to becoming a banana republic, if grownups don’t intervene.

How long until streaming services will “reflect customer changes” with “improved” price points that reflect their “premium service” and “premium content”?

Oh, gosh no, please don’t turn on each other /s

Daddy Vlad and mommy Elon?

Taiwan has never been your territory, Xi Smallping-energy.

Shouldn’t there be possibilities for someone clever to take them to court for this?

He said it - “it’s Trumps USA now”. Get ready for a whole lot of fecal matter hitting the air circulation device…
