As it massacres Palestinians, "Israel enjoys the full support of the so-called international community, the same people who lecture us day and night about human rights and the rules-based international order."

Hitler commenting on the failure of Operation Barberossa (as quoted in Domenico Losurdo's Stalin)

November 29th, 1941:

How is it possible that such a primitive people can reach such technical objectives in such a short period of time?

August: 26th, 1942:

With respect to Russia, it is incontestable that Stalin raised the standard of living. The Russian people don't go hungry [at the moment when Operation Barbarossa was launched]. In general, it's necessary to recognize that they have built factories of similar importance to Hermann Goering Reichswerke where two years ago nothing but unknown villages existed. We come across railway lines that aren't on the maps.

@yogthos Well, ask China's neighbors how they feel about the situation.

Yeah. I know. Not funny but if you can't get a good cynical laugh from #ecocide and self-extermination what's the point of living?

"Ripper: Mandrake?
Mandrake: Yes, Jack?
Ripper: Have you ever seen a Commie drink a glass of water?
Mandrake: Well, I can't say I have, Jack.
Ripper: Vodka, that's what they drink, isn't it? Never water?
Mandrake: Well, I-I believe that's what they drink, Jack, yes.
Ripper: On no account will a Commie ever drink water, and not without good reason.
Mandrake: Oh, eh, yes. I, uhm, can't quite see what you're getting at, Jack.
Ripper: Water, that's what I'm getting at, water. Mandrake, water is the source of all life. Seven-tenths of this Earth's surface is water. Why, do you realize that 70 percent of you is water?

Mandrake (muttering): Good Lord!
Ripper: And as human beings, you and I need fresh, pure water to replenish our precious bodily fluids.
Mandrake: Yes. (he begins to chuckle nervously)
Ripper: Are you beginning to understand?
Mandrake: Yes. (more laughter)
Ripper: Mandrake. Mandrake, have you never wondered why I drink only distilled water, or rainwater, and only pure-grain alcohol?

Mandrake: Well, it did occur to me, Jack, yes." filmsite.org/drst3.html

Remarkably low resolution news item. Tracked it down:

Pivotal to the report is the relatively low limits that the US places on these chemicals, between 4 and 20 picograms per liter.

I wonder about the details there. Might not be a problem much longer, given our new Supreme Court configuration :-(
