  1. "And it's one, two, three,
    What are we fighting for?
    Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
    Next stop is Vietnam;
    And it's five, six, seven,
    Open up the pearly gates,
    Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
    Whoopee! we're all gonna die.
    Yeah, come on Wall Street, don't be slow,
    Why man, this is war au-go-go
    There's plenty good money to be made
    By supplying the Army with the tools of its trade,
    Just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb,
    They drop it on the Viet Cong.
    And it's one, two, three,
    What are we fighting for?
    Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
    Next stop is Vietnam.
    And it's five, six, seven,
    Open up the pearly gates,
    Well there ain't no time to wonder why
    Whoopee! we're all gonna die."

    Écrire une chanson n'est guère différent d'aller à la pêche. Il faut rester calme, attendre, une chanson est vivante comme un poisson. Il faut l'attendre, bien l'appâter, ne pas lui faire peur. Parfois, je la rejette après l'avoir attrapée.

  5. Ein Video US Politik, das mich sehr bewegt hat

    youtube.com/watch?v=L-57Frioeu

    Film created by Massive Attack (working with US photo artist thefinaleye). This montage work portrays a momentous American epoch that is yet to be named, and comes in the aftermath of the largest public protests in American history - focused on opposition to ICE raids, the militarisation of domestic forces, and state authoritarianism.

  7. “Seizing the Kharg: Washington’s path to defeat in the Persian Gulf”

    “The US-Israeli air campaign was supposed to break Iran. It didn’t. Now the hawks are pushing for boots on the ground. But the ground war being floated does not simply risk American lives on an island 15 miles (around 24 kilometers) off Iran’s coast. It threatens the entire US military architecture in the Persian Gulf – the bases, the alliances, and the energy infrastructure that has underwritten American dominance in West Asia for decades”

  8. Such a mission would expose #US personnel to an array of threats, including Iranian drones & missiles, ground fire & IEDs. It was unclear Saturday whether #Trump would approve all, some or none of the #Pentagon’s plans.

    The Trump admin in recent days has vacillated between declaring that the #war is winding down & threatening to amplify it.

  9. The #Pentagon is preparing for weeks of ground operations in #Iran, #US ofcls said, as thousands of soldiers & Marines arrive in the #MiddleEast for what could become a dangerous new phase of the #war should #Trump choose to escalate.
    
Any ground operation would fall short of a full-scale invasion & could instead involve raids by a mixture of Special Ops forces & conventional infantry troops, said the ofcls.

    I don’t know, I feel like I’ve been hearing about these ‘boots on the ground’ (“US ground forces”) for so long that I wonder if something’s happened to them or maybe they’ve gone to ground somewhere else? Otherwise what’s keeping them?
