What Does Russia Have on Trump? Americans Deserve an Answer As Russia reportedly shares intelligence with Iran that could endanger American forces, the White House chooses to ease pressure on Moscow instead of confronting it.

Ukraine offers to help defend the West from Iranian drones.

Russia helps Iran track American forces.

And the White House eases sanctions on Russian oil.

Explain that to the families of U.S. troops. My latest:

“War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other’s children.”

All of our living presidents who still have a sense of decency gathered to honor Rev. Jesse Jackson.

Respect recognizes respect.

We can throw another $500,000,000,000 at the Pentagon this year and spend $1,000,000,000/day on a wholly useless war, but we can't afford to hire doctors and nurses to take care of our veterans? The United States is such an irresponsible, messed up country right now.

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

Anyone who wants Britain to join the war in Iran needs their head examined They don't know what they want to achieve, why they're doing it or what the consequences might be. They are lost in the void.

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

“I guess”.

You’ve got to be kidding me. We have totally unserious, completely incompetent people taking us into mindless deadly war.

So Iran now has, perhaps for the first time, information about the location of our most sensitive covert sites in the region.

A completely foreseeable, unnecessary consequence of unnecessary war with Iran.

There have been some very bad developments today.

Crude oil is now up 49.65% so far this year.

The Trump administration took your money illegally.

They won’t give it back.

Oh

“.. U.S. crude futures this week skyrocketed at their fastest rate in records stretching back to 1983 ..

“.. ‘You see why the [1970s] oil shocks were so hard to control.’”

The rapture is not in the Bible.

The rapture is not present in Christianity before the 19th century.

The rapture makes for dangerous theology and foreign policy.

The rapture needs to become a resoundingly opposed sentiment.

Matthew 25.

There is no battle of Armageddon in the book of Revelation.

In my recent article, I explore the context of Revelation 16:16, where a lot of modern ideas of the “battle of Armageddon” come from and share the importance of noticing how the battle is no battle at all.

Beware of any Christian movement that demands the government be an instrument of God's wrath but never a source of God's charity, mercy, or compassion.

Jobs Report Throws a Curveball at Fed as War Raises Inflation Fears Officials’ next decision on interest rates just got a lot more interesting.

The US economy lost jobs in February. Combine that with rising inflation fears thanks to war with Iran, and the Fed has tough decisions ahead.

How an Oil Crisis Becomes an Everything Crisis The 1973 oil embargo showed how a shock to energy supplies can unravel economies, upend politics and make fear a force as powerful as war itself.

The 1973 oil embargo triggered inflation, political turmoil and global upheaval. As the Iran war now threatens energy markets again, history shows how quickly an oil crisis can ripple into everyday life.

What We Forget About Covid Will Shape the Next Pandemic As the pandemic recedes, our collective memory is softening the fear and chaos. That shift could determine how we handle the next crisis.

As Covid recedes, our memory of the crisis is softening. What we forget — about overwhelmed hospitals, uncertainty and tradeoffs — will shape how we respond to the next pandemic.

A Durable Consumer Boycott Leaves US Booze Makers Feeling Stiffed Also: Oil surges to around $91 a barrel

How the US Gave Up On Liberalism The country is arguably the philosophy’s greatest victory. But “post-liberals” on both left and right are turning away from that inheritance.

"Liberal” is often an insult in American politics. Yet the US may be liberalism’s greatest triumph — even as post-liberals on left and right turn against that inheritance.

There Is No Iran Endgame That Doesn’t Risk Chaos Even if military success is possible, the shadow of political uncertainty will loom large over Tehran, borderland stability and Gulf security.

If Iran’s leadership is decapitated, what comes next? From regime survival to civil war, the futures now facing Tehran could reshape the Middle East.

How the Iran War Is Disrupting Global Oil and Gas Supply Fears of deeper disruption to global oil and natural gas supply are growing as the US and Israel continue to strike Iran, and the Islamic Republic retaliates with missiles and drones across the Middle East. Prices of both commodities have jumped and a sustained increase could trigger a surge in inflation.
