A Brief History of Modern Germany / Canadian Aid to China / Uranium from Niger


"A Brief History of Modern Germany
"Wilhelm Voigt: Hi! I'm a very real military officer. See this uniform? I'm here to arrest your mayor and raid your treasury!"
German man: "You seem like a nice fellow. I guess I should trust you."
Adolf Hitler: "Hi! I'm definitely not a genocidal madman who will drive Germany to total destruction!"
German man: "You seem like a nice fellow. I guess I should trust you."
Hu Jintao: "Hi! Please give us your high-speed rail technology. We're definitely not going to steal it and use it to outcompete your companies."
German man: "You seem like a nice fellow. I guess I should trust you."
Richard Fuld (Lehman Brothers): "Hi! Please buy these mortgage-backed bonds. They're rated AAA. I promise they won't blow up and cause a financial crisis."
German man: "You seem like a nice fellow. I guess I should trust you."
Vladimir Putin: "Hi! Please rely on me for all your energy needs. I promise I won't invade Europe."
German man: "You seem like a nice fellow. I guess I should trust you."
Xi Jinping: "Hi! Please have your companles transter all their remaining technology to me. I promise this will somehow work out well for you."
German man: "Wait, hold on a sec ... OK never mind. You seem like a nice fellow. I guess I should trust you."

This was probably blocked because of Hitler's photo.


Ahmed Hussen @HonAhmedHussen: "Hey James, let’s set the record straight: No Canadian aid has gone to the Chinese government since 2013, when Harper’s Conservative government sent $360M. Stop playing games with facts! #FactsOverFiction"
James Bezan: "BREAKING: Justin Trudeau keeps sending foreign aid to the communist government in Beijing. A regime that's actively interfering in our elections and democratic institutions. A Pierre Poilievre Conservative government will stop sending Canadian tax dollars to support foreign dictators and despots. Instead, we will invest those dollars in our armed forces making Canada stronger and safer!"
Stacey @StaceyMonette27: "Hey Ahmed, stop lying."
Holly Doan @hollyanndoan: "Cabinet continues to send foreign aid to China, new records show. @GAC_Corporate has detailed millions in aid under fund to promote LGBTQ rights. https://blacklocks.ca/feds-still-send-aid-to-china/ #cdnpoli"

I've no idea why this was blocked.


Philippe Lemoine @phl43: "Reminder that all this stuff about how France was "looting" Niger is nonsense, that France will not be harmed in any meaningful way by that decision, whereas Niger probably will."
Philippe Lemoine @phl43: "France only gets 15% of its uranium from Niger at this point, we'll have no problem sourcing it from elsewhere and we have enough reserves for years anyway. Meanwhile, uranium accounts for 60% of Niger's exports, so I don't think we'll be the ones to suffer if they cut us off."
Black in the Empire @blackintheempir: "If France loses the ability to exploit Niger for uranium they're screwed"
ADAM @AdameMedia: "Niger 🇳🇪 is the 4th largest producer of Uranium in the world, Niger has revoked the operating licenses of French 🇫🇷 Companies, who have been looting its mineral resources to develop France. Niger’s mineral resources now belong to Niger."

This was probably blocked because iFunny thinks "Niger" is the same as "Nigger".
