  1. RE: mastodon.social/@RonSupportsYo

    #Booker thoroughly fails on choosing #AIPAC & #genocide, over humankind and the people of Palestine. He is however absolutely correct, here. Before Don Trump scuttled the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action the entire world was FAR more secure. Trump = insecurity for personal profit & #plunder. Deaths of tens of thousands and the impoverishment of the US #public solely because he, the State of Israel for whom the USA is now a client state, and the plutocrat puppeteers who installed Trump & the Heritage/Federalist regime find crime to be fun.

    Wow, I’m jealous. This is solid writing.

    #Trump and Pete #Hegseth and Marco #Rubio and whomever else were lured into this war by Benjamin #Netanyahu, pushed into it by the billionaire donors of the #Israel lobby and, more than anything else, seduced into it by massive institutional incompetence and their thoroughly unfounded belief in their own awesomeness. As one Bluesky poster put it in early March, those guys believed they could wage and win a war easily just by being “based chads” (i.e., white dudes with retrograde attitudes about literally everything) who would avoid all the weak, woke, DEI-informed mistakes made in previous conflicts by such lily-livered libtards as, um, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld.”

  14. The US came into existence after a revolt against British rule and the implementation of rules based upon decisions made in another land, which were not evenly applied and definitely not to the benefit of all. The US has now replaced the British Empire as a major power and abuses power in exactly the same way. We only have to look at the history books to see what happens next.

  19. There's this scene that lives rent-free in my head, with a character in the show The Diplomat saying "i still believe in international rules-based order". It's killing me lol. And it shows exactly the point of their jobs: cover-ups. Politely excusing horrible war crimes.

    This is not just Trump. It's a long history of the US and other countries doing what they want, because who is going to stop them?

    Just like West Wing, The Diplomat is a fantasy for liberals, and even then they can't make themselves look good.

    Dozens of assassinations, kidnappings, regime changes, support for violent extreme-right groups... par for the course for the US. This won't stop until the US collapses.

  24. Western media portray the 160th SOAR as an elite helicopter force for covert missions. But in 2005 an officer in the regiment blogged about joint operations with the Wolf Brigade as they swept Baghdad detaining civilians. On November 10, 2005, he described a “battalion-sized joint operation” in southern Baghdad and boasted, “As we passed vehicle after vehicle full of blindfolded detainees, my face stretched into a long wolfish smile.”

    'During the low-wage era of the 1990s, China’s export-to-import ratio with the core was extremely high. In other words, China had to export very large quantities of goods in order to obtain necessary imports. Today, this ratio is much lower, representing a dramatic improvement in China’s terms of trade, substantially reducing the core’s ability to appropriate value from China.'
