What a shame... The death throes of the empire: We can't or won't take care of our homeless, provide health care for our people, or even begin to deal with the real, existential threats of climate catastrophe or species' loss, but we've got plenty of cash to run around the world, overthrowing sovereign countries, in order to instill in their lands the same psychotic, hallucinatory system with which we're finishing ourselves off.
That is strange. I want regime change in the US and in occupied Palestine. Both war criminal bosses on multiple charges should be put on planes to the Hague or more sustainably on a slow boat to the Hague.
We live in such dangerous times where elderly men who are idiots are leading us towards a knife edge. The trouble is, that its the babies, the kids and the civilians who are paying a brutal price for these men's death cults. How can we all be watching people being starved to death on our social media, every hour, every day, every week, every month, for over 600 days. It just defies any reality. Who really benefits from all these misery and murder? The intergenerational harm will last for lifetimes. Who gains? Just the armaments companies? Are they the ones running these constant conflicts? And do they not see the cost to humanity?
My issue with this analysis is this: If Trump is speaking, he is lying. I think by now most people with an IQ about room temp measured in degrees centigrade are aware of that. So nothing that comes out of his mouth can be trusted. Why do we keep worrying about what TACO dance he is dancing at any one moment?
Jeff: I agree whole-heartedly with your assessment. However, one thing bothers me: why did dementia Don feel it necessary to discuss this with putin? Is there a bigger, world order changing in the works? God, this is George W Bush's Iraq invasion all over again!
Trump needs to show he is one of the big dogs. I suspect, but don't know, that he is ultimately Putin's Poodle. Here is a link to a fascinating piece from The Guardian several years ago -- read it Lianne, and let me know what you think.
This dystopian nightmare to decent people, is that we are living in a Kakistocracy, only it is real. Of course Trump after the colossal failure of his Military Parade has to show the might of the military in a war, potentially using B-62 Bombers that can drop 20,000 ton bombs on Iran. I am fearful for the women and children trapped in that theocracy. While Germany, Poland the Czech Republic all are sending planes to get their citizens out of Iran and Israel, Americans seem trapped in these countries and will have to get out on their own. Good luck to them on doing this.
This summer I have to travel back and forth from EU to US. I have a mom with dementia, and I need to sort her things out. Other things to take care of as well. I do not want to be flying from one country that Iran hates to another. My other country has a lot of US troops and could thus be viewed as supporting the US. Boy is the population going to be unhappy about the US troops as soon as war starts and they know people are deployed from their country to the Middle East.
Honestly, we know Trump is not supporting Ukraine. Some say that Trump sees Ukraine as a loser and Israel as a winner. He thinks he is only backing winners. I really want Ukraine to succeed without the US. However, the EU may have to learn everything the hard way.
I think more people should be going to university and learning critical thinking. It should be a goal in a democracy to have a population that is well enough educated to understand basic economics and research and what they are actually voting for. Many have not realized that by supporting right wing regimes, what they though was them getting their country out of helping anyone else, or being involved in anyone else's war may find them having war on their own doorstep.
This dystopian nightmare we are living in. This is our Kakistocracy.
“Trump, Vance, and Rubio are all lying, but then that’s the strategy.”--- True! But Vance and Rubio still have enough sense to remember their lies and see them through. Trump forgets his lies and then lets out the truth without his even knowing what he’s doing. Makes him look just as demented as he is! And there are about 3.5 years left of this circus. Poor America!
Who's Not Surprised by Cheeto Plunging America Toward War
Orange Cheeto is a belligerent angry bellicose hostile threatening confrontational POS who takes pleasure in inflicting emotional and physical pain in other human beings So why would it be surprising that this immorally bankrupt asshole wouldn't throw the country into war
And his Nazi sycophants in Congress will rubber stamp the effort because they can
Just another reason to encourage neighbors friends relatives to keep up the pressure on the Nazi party and Cheeto by Protest Protest Protest
The Problem with most of the World Leaders is that they are OLD (White) MEN.
Old men who have grown up in times of War around the world, and think it is very normal to fight, dethrone, have huge armies (compensating for something?), and in some cases, to Colonise.
Today they still want war, but it is the young that pay the price, and fight & die in their wars.
War is also a great distraction from the domestic problems caused by their mis-management.
It is time for the World to be run by Women; Older Women who remember the death and suffering of their children and grandchildren, and younger women who want a better future for all children.
If crickets Congress has decided to relinquish all its powers and no longer participate in government we need to at least find a way to stop paying them.

Remember, most of our politicians are invested in those armament companies
And Govts. Yes! Weapons conventions full of Israeli "battle tested on 'Palestinians' products".
It also allows tyrants to consolidate more power for themselves.

USA will never change , the greed to colonise the world

Old playbook! They did it time and time again in Lebanon, Ukraine…

I highly doubt that Trump said anything coherent.
Not sure if I am on the correct forum
Can we please ask Piers Morgan
About the direction he was sending America
With his comments in I think it was 2002 advising the then president that Iraq has been building Nuclear weapons or not far away from completion
Why on earth have the Western Media nit questioned this
They will cause more attacks by in my opinion freedom fighters or the so called terrorist.
I am amazed to see these so called intelligent people believing this bull shit again.
Sorry I forgot to mention the clowns name Benjamin
This really damages our credibility in the world, since no other nation-heads will trust us to negotiate.
