    I believe America and other democracies have the capability of working together for the collective good.

    Pissing off other countries like #Italy as Trump did, does little to advance the cause of #democracy. To be clear I’m no fan of #GeorgiaMeloni but let’s say I’m old enough to remember #Rumsfeld and his #OldEurope stupidity during #GulfWar II.

    America at its best can be a force good and at its worst can be incredibly destructive. Such is the case right now

    - #Bosnia (1994–1995)
    - #Kosovo (1998–1999)

    - #Iraq War (2003–2011)
    - #Libya (2011)
    - #Iran 2026
    - Ongoing operations in the "War on Terror" (including drone strikes and special operations in countries like #Yemen, #Syria, and #Somalia)

  11. Trump’s abrupt U-turn on a plan to reopen the Strait of #Hormuz came after backlash from #allies

    source: nbcnews.com/politics/white-hou…

    #Trump surprised #Gulf allies by announcing “Project Freedom” on social media Sunday afternoon, the officials said, angering leadership in #SaudiArabia. In response, the Kingdom informed the U.S. it would not allow the U.S. #military to fly aircraft from Prince Sultan #Airbase southeast of #Riyadh or fly through Saudi #airspace to #support the effort, the officials said.

  14. #Pakistan Reiterates That #Lebanon Is Still Part of #Ceasefire Despite Israel’s Attacks

    source: commondreams.org/news/pakistan…

    A Pakistani official said Wednesday that despite Israel’s unprecedented attack on Lebanon, it is still part of the ceasefire agreement that Pakistan’s prime minister helped to mediate the previous day, even as #Israel and the US insist otherwise.


    It seems #Trump once again didn't quite grasp what he was #negotiating, and now the Strait of #Hormuz remains closed, with all the negative #consequences that entails for #oil #prices and #inflation.

  17. "There is a mental lag at the start of wars […] That mental lag is even longer when the United States is involved. Because it remains inconceivable to some that a superior military power would not swiftly achieve its objectives. That an inferior power would not immediately succumb. That allies would not fall into line and rally behind the US. Inconceivable that the fallout of a military campaign would not be limited to the territories and peoples targeted."

  21. Non è un match: è un faccia a faccia di 50 minuti con Saddam, mentre il mondo prepara la guerra. E la frase che chiude tutto suona come una resa mascherata da trionfo: Ali non torna a casa da solo.

  22. So many books from US snipers...

    "Warbody" is different. Concerning years of lead exposure, toxic burn pits, endless vaccinations, oil wells afire, etc. etc., awful chemicals to protect from unknown hazards, neverending health problems ...

    Oh yeah -- we don't hear much anymore about depleted-uranium munitions !

    I don't suppose they went out of style or something

    >> #Trump said: "They hit #Qatar, #SaudiArabia #UAE, #Bahrain, #Kuwait nobody expected that. We were shocked."

    >> Doocy: Are you surprised that nobody briefed you ahead of time that that might be their retaliation?

    >> Trump: "Nobody. Nobody. No no no no. The greatest experts—nobody thought they were going hit…"

    Trump should have already known, if he bothered with even a little bit of recent history. #Iraq hit #Israel with #SCUD missiles in first #GulfWar

    That's how it goes.
