#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.

🧐 fascinating that the world's largest and most successful laundry for every kind of dirty money from russian oligarchs to #fentanyl traffickers to pig butchering slave drivers in southeast asia to #Hamas and #Iran (and beyond) launched dollar and gold denominated tokens on the #Telegram blockchain just a few months ago.
if you don't know what #Tether is or need a refresher there's a good collection of links to mainstream reporting about all the horrors I listed here: https://tetheredtocorruption.com/ (interestingly/surprisingly that site is run by right wing activists bc that's how off the chain corrupt tether is)
also worth noting that the guy holding Tether's cash (Howard Lutnick) is now co-chair of Trump's transition team.

Donald Trump says he doesn't think about Americans' financial situations in Iran negotiations
> Don Trump told reporters on Tuesday that the financial situations of Americans do not motivate him while he is negotiating with Iran. “Not even a little bit,” the elderly golfclub owner said when asked how much he is motivated by now-widespread American #poverty, in ceasing the US invasion and illegal bombings. “The only thing that matters when I’m talking about Iran, they have vast oil reserves."

Tactical Success, Strategic Failure? Washington Walks the Path to Defeat in Iran
Six weeks after the United States and Israel launched a war against Iran, what was the political object? Not the military means and objectives — those are the hammer, not the nail. The nail is: What condition in the world, what durable change in Iran’s relationship to the United States and its neighbors, were these strikes meant to produce? That question was never answered, because it was never seriously asked. The Trump administration confused the instrument for the purpose and then changed the purpose whenever the instrument produced inconvenient results.

Top US security official quits, says Iran did not pose immediate threat | Reuters
> Joseph Kent, director of the National Counterterrorism Center, stepped down Tuesday, stating in a public resignation letter that Iran posed “no imminent threat” to the United States. He added that he could not support a war he believes was initiated under external pressure, a claim likely to intensify debate over the justification for U.S. involvement.

☝️ 「Authoritarian alliances and the counter-balancing act
In a rapidly evolving geopolitical landscape, the emergence of alliances between authoritarian countries such as China and Russia are a cause for concern. During Chinese President Xi Jinping’s recent trip to Moscow, he told Putin “Now there are changes that haven’t happened in 100 years. When we are together, we drive these changes.”
These alliances aim to counterbalance the influence of democratic nations and undermine the principles of freedom and human rights. America, as the world’s most powerful democracy, has historically played a critical role in shaping global norms and values. Its stability and leadership are needed now more than ever to counter the threat posed by authoritarian alliances.」

A few select words on the #Chinese #dictatorship — #NATO joint declaration, Vilnius 11 July, 2023
「23. The People’s Republic of China’s stated ambitions and coercive policies challenge our interests, security and values. The PRC employs a broad range of political, economic, and military tools to increase its global footprint and project power, while remaining opaque about its strategy, intentions and military build-up. The PRC’s malicious hybrid and cyber operations and its confrontational rhetoric and disinformation target Allies and harm Alliance security. The PRC seeks to control key technological and industrial sectors, critical infrastructure, and strategic materials and supply chains. It uses its economic leverage to create strategic dependencies and enhance its influence. It strives to subvert the rules-based international order, including in the space, cyber and maritime domains.
24. We remain open to constructive engagement with the PRC, including to build reciprocal transparency, with a view to safeguarding the Alliance’s security interests. We are working together responsibly, as Allies, to address the systemic challenges posed by the PRC to Euro-Atlantic security and ensure NATO’s enduring ability to guarantee the defence and security of Allies. We are boosting our shared awareness, enhancing our resilience and preparedness, and protecting against the PRC’s coercive tactics and efforts to divide the Alliance. We will stand up for our shared values and the rules-based international order, including freedom of navigation.
25. The deepening strategic partnership between the PRC and Russia and their mutually reinforcing attempts to undercut the rules-based international order run counter to our values and interests. We call on the PRC to play a constructive role as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, to condemn Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, to abstain from supporting Russia’s war effort in any way, to cease amplifying Russia’s false narrative blaming Ukraine and NATO for Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, and to adhere to the purposes and principles of the UN Charter. We particularly call on the PRC to act responsibly and refrain from providing any lethal aid to Russia.」

Another news story by Tom's Hardware: ☭🇨🇳 Chinese hackers steal chip designs from major Dutch semiconductor company — perps lurked for over two years to steal NXP's chipmaking IP
Related: A leading European research group @merics focusing on the "PRC" — which recently had its staff *sanctioned* by the Chinese Communist Party 🤷🏻♂️ (i.e. really the PRC) — wrote a great report on CCP's cyberwarfare which unsurprisingly is on a massive scale.

⬆️ Great @merics report: 📜 “Here to stay” – Chinese state-affiliated hacking for strategic goals
"🇨🇳 China is the most important source of cyber attacks in the world, 2000-2023"
「Key findings
☭ Chinese hacking poses a risk to Europe’s long-term prosperity. It is becoming more sophisticated and follows strategic goals of China’s government.
☭ China is a major source of cyberattacks against Europe. While not all Chinese threat actors have clear ties to China’s government, there is considerable evidence of links to it for many of them, suggesting some degree of state affiliation and sponsorship.
☭ China rearranged its hacking capabilities to make attribution more difficult and to increase the combat-readiness of the People’s Liberation Army. Institutional changes have created a more flexible and sophisticated state-affiliated hacking scene.☭ Chinese threat actors typically attack for long-term access. As opposed to the disruptive ones carried out by Russian actors or the moneymaking ones carried out by North Korean actors, Chinese attacks are more strategic.
☭ Chinese threat actors focus on a smaller number of high-value targets and reuse the same exploits for different target types. It is more difficult to spot them as they use edge devices like routers and techniques designed to avoid detection.
☭ China has not engaged in disruptive attacks so far, but it is building up capabilities that it could later use for disruption. Its use of cyber ranges and its targeting of critical infrastructure for long-term access suggests that China is setting up for future disruptive activity, posing a risk for Europe.」
「1.1 China’s cyberattacks are increasing and becoming more sophisticated
With more economic activity moving online, cyberattacks are gaining relevance. Globally, the European Commission estimates cyberattacks to cost EUR 5.5 trillion.1 Cyberattacks are estimated to have cost German companies EUR 223 billion, or 6 percent of Germany’s GDP, in 2021.2 That same year, 86 percent of German companies suffered a cyberattack that led to some damage, according to one survey. 」
