The insane jingoism of Iraq and the GWOT was driven by genuine popular pressure and widespread support, now we've decided to let a senile gangster redraw the world map and most of us neither know nor care what we're doing or why.
humanity is just people forgetting everything they ever learned.

if you're keeping score at home what's happening is this the department of war is running major combat operations in iran which may last just a few weeks maybe longer or maybe even forever and which are NOT a war but whose stated objective is unconditional surrender
“Unconditional surrender” was the Allies’ demand in WWII. They backed it up by occupying Germany, Italy and Japan.
Is Trump prepared to send hundreds of thousands of troops to occupy Iran, a nation of 93 million people, and to risk the resulting casualties? If not, this is simply bluster.
The Pew Research Center asked people around the world to rate the morality and ethics of others in their country.
The U.S. is the only place where more adults describe the morality and ethics of others living in the country as bad than good. pewrsr.ch/4ubNwaM
This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

this is also a thing Nazi U Boats were known for doing, guess Hegseth really is taking inspiration from his heroes

Just a thought, maybe SecDef shouldn’t jerk himself off on live television at the thought of casualties in war.
War isn’t something to be giddy about. Were the most powerful nation on the planet. We’re supposed to be the quiet professionals, not carnival barking morons.
This whole article is about how Iran might attack other Gulf state water infrastructure but doesn't once mention the dire water straights Iran is in nor the fact that *neither* side of this war seems to give a shit about people.
⚡️ Update: Ukrainian consuls not given access to bank employees held in Hungary, Kyiv says.
Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha demanded the immediate release of the Ukrainian citizens and said Ukraine would raise the issue with the EU.
Orban refusing to let the EU help Ukraine, and now kidnapping Ukrainian citizens, all so he can get Russian oil.
I will be so glad when Orban, Putin, and oil are all irrelevant.
YOU ASKED FOR THIS!

"lawless wealthy" certainly fits, and doesn't carry a name that some might think carries an ethnicity.
Hi! Do you think Tucker Carlson “has a point”? Do think Platner platforming Holocaust deniers isn’t really a big deal? Do you think the “Epstein class” is short for “good w/ $$”? Well, my pal @kathrynajoyce.bsky.social and I wrote an article just for you! inthesetimes.com/article/form...
It's the Pentecostal wobble. Expect to see a lot more of that.

These guys are hoarders, too. Only we call them “billionaires,” instead.
His best case scenario is us scared and small, turning against each other, embracing police state, indifferent to each others suffering because we are occupied by our own
I, for one, am tired of being told by Christian theocratic fascists that I, a Jew and an immigrant, am not a real citizen of this country.
Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, “I do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...

Israel’s latest success came after a precision-guided missile struck a high-value military target: the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ elementary school in Minab.

CNN's Kasie Hunt: Do you expect the confirmation of Markwayne Mulling to be bipartisan?
Sen. Peter Welch (D-VT): "Well, Markwayne is -- he's respected, he‘s honest and he‘s competent... people respect Markwayne."
Hunt: "Hmm, interesting."
Americans really don’t appreciate and understand what this admin is doing for their image,likability, and respect world wide.
When this is done there will be NO country. Ally or enemy that respects and takes what the US says as having any value.
I'd like to ask Mr. Poilievre to sit down and think, and think hard, about what it means for Canada and for the world at large when a particular power, a great power on Canada's own borders, can decide to wage war on the whim of one man, without law and without constitutional constraint.
