Hamas was created and financed with Israeli money because they wanted radical opposition, not moderates like Arafat and Abbas. The assassination of Hamas senior leaders was needed because they might spill the beans on who they were really working for.
Once you understand that, the game becomes clear.
This is just a pause between rounds to allow the "fighters" in this Middle East WWE match to re-hydrate and work out their play-by-play script for the next round.
It wasn't a secret that Israel wanted Hamas in Gaza. There is a video from 2019 I think of Nuttyu asking the UAE to continue the funding. I think WaPo reported on who set Hamas up in 1989.
1989. That's long ago. That doesn't mean they controlled Hamas and definitely doesn't mean that they controlled Hamas in 2023. There are just a few nutcases who claim that Hamas striking back against Israel was secretly Netty's plan, with Hamas being his lackeys. I'd like to drop off these nuts in a camp in Gaza and have them tell the Palestinians that.
Tell me that controlling financial resources of your "opposition" doesn't equate with a controlled opposition. Follow the money, not the lieing words coming out of politicians mouths.
----------
"There are just a few nutcases & etc."
I must live in a pistachio warehouse, all I see around me are cases of nuts.
I don't believe israel ever wanted to 'control' Hamas. they simply wanted to make certain that the Palestinians were always divided and warring among themselves. It is a common strategy for the US/UK/israel.
Maybe, but there are also all the reports from Israeli civilians about the strange stand-down orders along the border with Gaza just before the 'miraculous' October 7 hang-glider invasion, which was promptly followed up by the Zionist regime's fast imposition of its barbaric 'Hannibal' (rhymes with cannibal) doctrine against its own civilians. Satanyahoo was in political trouble back then and is now firmly entrenched. Like many imperialists, he seems to have bitten off more than he can chew up though.
Milejkowsky had sent his wayward son Yair to Florida weeks before the “surprise “ on 10/7. Other people’s children have been maimed and killed during bibi-the-mongrel war on Gaza.
You seriously think those Hamas leaders were secretly working for Israel?
Israel gave them money LONG AGO as part of a strategy to counter Fatah. That doesn't mean Israel controls them or even controlled them back then. Drop the conspiracy theory. Absolutely no one agrees with you. Especially not any Palestinians I have known. Don't insult them.
Try and find a video that a Shitraeli posted a week or two after Oct 7th. He had footage of Heeb speaking Euro looking men in matching colour polo shirts directing Palestinian fighters.
And then there is testimony from many IOF filth stating their warnings about Hamas fighters activities prior to Oct were ignored and many were stood down just prior.
"they wanted radical opposition, not moderates like Arafat and Abbas"
----------
PLO was secular, there are a significant % of Palestinians who were Christian (and are also legally 2nd class citizens/reactive targets, same as the rest). Dividing is always a good start before conquering.
PLO was also SOCIALIST- No US client state gets attaboys for allowing socialism to rear its ugly head.
If you are going to face opposition groups no matter what, it is more efficient to front run OpFors development by creating your own puppet group or suborning/controlling/funding to dominance your choice of such which might crop up- FBI, CIA and US State Dept. all have LONG histories with this technique.
Nonsense. Hamas existed as a resistance to opposition; however, because it was religious, the Israelis thought they could use it in opposition to the secular Fatah. This was simply 'divide and rule' strategy; however, Hamas turned out to be uncontrollable and much stronger than they anticipated. Please do not denigrate the brave fighters of Resistance with Israeli Hasbara.
we did not wipe Hamas forever but we have so many crushed skulls of Hamad terrorists , lying around in our backyard, so we feel really happy while Putin’s dog are barking and yelling.
They only gave your group US $150,000,000 for information warfare between all of you, I can understand why you aren't motivated to try harder. Hope your 2nd job is a good one.
And rewrite the definition of victory, scrub/edit/delete some old web pages + tweak a few Google algorithms as needed. Winston Smith would really appreciate our new paperless info sphere- No more papercuts at work or memory hole trash burner maintenance.
DJT thinks of himself as a boss, and he expects those he appoints to Cabinet positions to carry out *his* agenda, not theirs. The person who’s going to make the Big Decisions about foreign policy, for instance is DJT not somebody else.
Marco Rubio, DJT’s appointee for Secretary of State, has been a severe neocon hawk throughout his entire political career. He has been an outspoken cheerleader for Ukraine, and for our supporting Ukraine, ever since the SMO commenced. What’s interesting today is that Rubio has moderated this view; in fact, he has neutered that view to align better w/ DJT’s too. He delivered a gut-check of the highest order on Project Ukraine before a senate confirmation panel in Washington.
“It should be the official position of the U.S.,” according to Rubio, “that this war must be brought to an end.” Note how transformative a statement like this is in the hallowed halls of power where for the past three years few elected officials had the nerve, let lone the political will, to interrogate the U.S.’s interests in supporting a proxy like Ukraine against a nuclear-armed super power. Washington-speak would not allow it.
Today, however, Rubio sat before an august body and uttered the utterable: the official position of the U.S. should not be to destroy Russia or to weaken Russia or to make sure that Ukraine can retake Crimea—but to bring the war to an end. This is not Rubio speaking. This is *DJT* speaking.
During the entire interregnum The Economist and Bloomberg and the FT have asserted, on the basis of anonymous sources, that DJT would give Ukraine every weapon it wanted if VVP refused to agree to a ceasefire, etc. All of that was speculation—propaganda for driving a slow interregnum news-cycle. It was not real.
Hearing Rubio lay out DJT’s policy objectives regarding Ukraine should leave no one needing to read the tea leaves. Rubio articulated the objective as clearly as one could.
Any resolution of the war will of course include concessions to Russia—if not an outright capitulation altogether—but to have said anything of the sort until this very week was to be tarred as a Putin Apologist or a Kremlin Stooge. For someone as hawkish as Rubio to stand up and boldly state that “the official policy of the U.S. should be that this war must end” would not have been possible had DJT not thumpingly euthanized the Dems and their craven neocon sponsors and their rules-based-hypocrisy on 5 November.
OTAN, so addicted by now to the freedom to hurl ATACMS and Storm Shadows and Scalps into motherland Russia, sees that their drug-of-choice is now in short supply.
OTAN has 4 days to hurl, hurl, hurl away. After that, Common Sense daddy is in da house.
I like what you say - it tickles my ears. However, too many times Trump has said something like this and is then taken into a room by certain 'advisers' and after a while emerges with a changed perspective.
We shall see. I do hope you are right, but forgive me for being highly skeptical at this point. Actions speak far louder than words - I will await the actions.
Indeed, it seems Trump understands that both Ukraine and the Gaza holocaust are millstones around a president's neck. He sees what they did to Biden. (Who of course gave the green light for both.) He does not want that for himself.
Ideally both end quickly so Trump can focus on actually doing something for Americans, such as stop the mass invasion by millions of illegal aliens, or as the Democrats call them, party-saving voters.
Really, who the fuck trusts a word any neocon says? Rubio can and probably will change his story again soon, just like Trump when his goldfish-like attention span is drawn to some new shiny object.
Not a chance, cheetos! This has nothing to do with djt. This is the US military speaking. trump is just their spokesperson/puppet. The US military knows how overextended we are thanks to the Ukraine debacle and the billions in weapons we've provided israel for their ongoing genocide. The US is beyond broke and the west coast is on fire. And then there's CHINAAA! trump will start in on CHINAA and how much of a threat they pose to our "freedom" once he's in office.
trump was put in power to divide the country and he did a brilliant job in his first term. He said he had the best generals and that he has the best brain, yet he managed to f up everything he touched, because that's what he was put in power to do.
This Greenland/Canada/Mexico nonsense is his latest distraction to take everyone's eyes off israel, which he supports 500%. More misdirection by the man who made his living conning everyone who did business with him. The art of the deal should have been called The Art of the Con as that's trumps MO.
The military doesn't care about the US budget, fires or floods or genocides. Generals don't get promoted for being culturally or fiscally conservative, much less, moral.
CHY-NAH isn't going to be anything different than the last time around I don't think.
VVP has observed this through 6 U.S. presidencies--and now DJT's 2nd term will give VVP a front-row seat w/ the 7th.
Like VVP explained to Tucker in their sit-down: "The president and I agree to a deal, but the next day the men in dark suits show up to nullify the deal."
I wonder if President Xi will accept Trump's invitation to his inauguration. It's the first time a foreign leader has been invited to such an event.
Still have to 😆whenever some of Trump's voters think that China will invade the U.S. in some "Red Dawn" scenario. Why would they want to invade us? We're about to break apart as a nation at which time they can just deal with the breakaway states as individual nations.
Besides, like Russia, all of China's military doctrine is based on regional defense. Not conquest or seeking to become a Unipolar Hegemon. China is reputed to have the largest land based missile arsenal in the world. But most of it, along with it's nukes, are short and medium range missiles in the event a war against the U.S. in the South and East China Seas.
Something like only 12-15% of their Nuclear Triad contain ICBMs, SLBMs, etc. that can target the U.S. for the purpose of a counter strike or deterrence. Not intimidation.
I think Rubio has to align with that view because he wants to freeze the war before Ukraine loses much more. He will not get what he wants because Russia will not accept anything less than total capitulation, and the US does not have much to offer.
The U.S. has zero leverage over Russia in Project Ukraine, so a pivot away from the debacle, Joe's Folly, can't come fast enough.
Astute witnesses to the conflict saw the folly by the fall of Mariupol, if not before.
However, an oddity of the past 4 years is that policy makers & those in the public light, as well as just ordinary people, have been condemned as taking a page from the Kremlin Playbook whenever they have deigned to probe or interrogate U.S. interests in Ukraine.
So there was a total speech embargo.
Recall, too, that Dems and other leading lights of the Collective Biden coterie were obligated to hit the blue & yellow propaganda hard and insist on Standing With Ukraine because they did not want the ticket to lose the 2024 presidential election.
How'd that work
With the end of Collective Biden, there's no reason to maintain the ruse. With the end of Collective Biden, it is possible to give voice to pragmatism again.
The shorter the time taken to agree a deal (capitulation, I think), the more likely it is that Trump can fully blame Biden for the war. The longer the war goes on, the more baggage Trump will have to carry.
Russia will accept partial capitulation - I think most pro-Russian commentators agree that they only want to move up to the Dniepr. They have no interest in moving into western Ukraine, where the actual Ukrainians live. They will not even take the capital, I'm sure.
Sadly, they probably won't even take Zhapo City or Kharkov. Knowing Putin, which I think we do by now, he'll be satisfied by only taking Donbass, not caring that on the map that looks small. So we will be stuck with all the pro-Biden commentators bragging that "Ukraine stopped him from taking anything more than Donbass."
I can't really agree with that. Leaving the most fanatical, nationalistic portion of Ukraine intact and based only on an agreement with a non-agreement-capable country is not situation Russia could ever accept. And frankly, I am not convinced that the US and the Western Alliance will be willing to accept what will be considered a defeat - they have no reverse gear. To both sides of the conflict, this war is far greater than Ukraine. It is considered by both sides as an existential struggle - a failing hegemon v a rising multi-polar world - the stakes could not be higher.
Agree. Straussians (ziocons whose goal is a full-spectrum jewish dominance) and the zionized CIA have been resting on laurels since the murder of the last American president J F Kennedy. The Vampire Squid (banking cabal) and the secret services serving the cabal have achieved amazing results globally.
Well, whoever the hell replaces Zelensky had better pledge not to join NATO and demand that all Western Forces need to leave Ukraine.
Either that or Russia will have to rain some Oreshniks onto Ukraine and warn Poland, Brussels and London that they will be next.
For now, anytime NATO missiles strike Russia, Moscow should retaliate by hitting positions in Ukraine with concentrations of Western mercs with Thermobaric weapons. Fuck returning the carcasses of these war criminals. Use them for fertilizer.
Well it depends on the meaning of capitulation. I think Western Ukraine might even end up split between Poland and Bulgaria to some extent, but in any case the rump left to remain will be a toothless buffer state. It has to be neutered or destroyed. Nothing else. Rubio wants a freeze because NATO has no arms manufacturing capacity. He wants a frw years to shift Europe into a domestic production EU NATO military zone. Right now there are no factories, no barrels and no ammo. Russia know this so no freeze or pause will be allowed.
The words of Patrushev might be instructive. He cites specific cities as being of particular concern. These cities suggest they might be more Russianness-centric than geography-centric in their thinking. That doesn't negate the fact that they also have security concerns that are more about pushing the hostile ones westwards of course....but 'acquiring territory' and 'reducing danger' aren't exactly the same thing.
===
NIKOLAI PATRUSHEV:
[Representatives of the new U.S. administration, in particular advisors appointed by Trump, have acknowledged in some of their speeches that Russia will not cede any territories that have already become part of the Russian Federation to Ukraine or anyone else under any circumstances.]
"This is not even up for discussion.
The territories that were once governed from Kiev became part of Russia as a result of the will of the citizens, in accordance with international law, the laws of the Russian Federation, and the legislation of those regions.
As for the Russian stance on Ukraine, it remains unchanged.
It is important for us that the objectives of the Special Military Operation are achieved. They are well-known and have not changed; they have been repeatedly stated by the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin.
It is also important for the entry of the Donetsk People's Republic, Lugansk People's Republic, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, the Republic of Crimea, and Sevastopol into the Russian Federation to be recognized worldwide, as they are an integral part of our country according to the Constitution.
I want to emphasize once again that the Ukrainian people remain close and brotherly to us, connected by centuries-old ties with Russia, no matter what the crazed Kiev propagandists, obsessed with 'Ukrainianism,' claim to the contrary.
We care about what is happening in Ukraine.
We are particularly concerned that the violent imposition of neo-Nazi ideology and rampant Russophobia are destroying Ukraine’s once-thriving cities, including Kharkov, Odessa, Nikolaev, and Dnipro.
It is possible that, in the coming year, Ukraine may cease to exist altogether.
If we talk about the specific prospects for the further development of events considering the Trump factor, we respect his statements.
I believe that negotiations regarding Ukraine should be conducted between Russia and the USA without the involvement of other Western countries.
There is nothing to discuss with London or Brussels.
The EU leadership, for example, no longer has the right to speak on behalf of many of its members, such as Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, Romania, and some other European countries that are interested in stability in Europe and take a balanced position regarding Russia."
While people can change, and can be forced to see the truth on issues, I will always be completely disgusted by Marco Rubio. He is a political prostitute, nothing else.
And of course he says these things about Ukraine only when Trump has made it safe to do so. He took part in all the smearing of Trump as the new Hitler back in 2016.
"The person who’s going to make the Big Decisions about foreign policy, for instance is DJT not somebody else."
----------
The traditional work arounds for that kind of presidential willfulness have included spinning/falsifying/censoring their information feeds, ever since the CIA began their move from working for the executive branch to wearing it like a hand puppet and/or some of their elements facilitating coups against "problem presidents" when long term foreign policy goals and the investment strategies of more important people were threatened. Which move I believe one can see signs of setting in around their 3rd director.
Between Trump's apparent % of squirrel DNA and the unelected 90%+ of the federal iceberg involved in information collection, analysis, policy formulation and implementation often working towards various other agendas? I'm not betting anything I can't afford to walk away from on a damn thing Trump says he will do.
That would apply to nearly anyone else holding his office too.
I was REALLY hoping RFK was going to be Secretary of Homeland Terrorism so he could start dismantling the most dangerous parts of the DC Bureaucratic Mafia.
Funny description of his characteristic, but Trump is a master of keeping his opponents, onlookers, and allies off balance. He's achieved remarkable 'personal' success with that tactic.
Or maybe he just has the attention span of a squirrel on crack and can't be arsed to bother with facts, reality or consistency when selling, debating, attacking & generally spieling? The boy has been "winging it" his whole verbal life AFAICT. Since he was born rich and then given more, nobody has ever held him accountable- Don't try this at home.
I'm so close to ordering this hat as a way to pimp the local liberal population I swim against. Genocide Joe got 80% of the vote in my suburb. I've seen only ONE sign in my community calling for the end of the Gazan genocide. JUST ONE EFFING SIGN shown in this "humantarian" outpost. Harris signs everywhere like invasive weeds. Tiny pissant Denmark, part of the NAFO pirate enterprise...ready to pick over the bones of the collapsed Russia. Fuck'em. The Onion couldn't offer up a more absurd scenario. I hope president potato rots in hell after he leaves the blood red house.
They are still out there organized into various Reddit regiments or members of Denis Davydov's MacBook Brigade ready to fight Putin to the last Ukrainian I suppose.
I'm not one for street confrontations, but that's a funny hat. Can't buy it even just for a personal collection due to the 2nd line being so far off-center.
These Israeli wounded figures do not square with the number of deaths - as Simplicitus points out. However, in some respects it is better for the society if these seriously wounded had died. Their continuing to live is a constant and permanent drain on the resources of the society.
The Palestinians don't have that problem as their hospitals have been destroyed.
I like your point. I was thinking yesterday that Israeli ´society´, because of the loss they suffered and especially with the large number of wounded in front of their eyes, may shiver at the next suggested round of all out war by their leadership. They are not of the same timber of those before them. They appear more and more like ignorant, blind and spoiled children, who know nothing of a real struggle until the current lesson was administered.
The U.S. has conducted a study into its Iraq and Afghanistan veterans (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34238813/ for those interested) and found that a further 20% of deaths (unironically called "Non Battle Deaths" or "Self-Inflicted Injuries") over and above those KIA occur within combat troops.
PTSD is a thing, and has been for as long as there has been war.
When was the last time we were attacked and invaded by a foreign adversary? My guess would be it's far higher in blatantly unjustified wars. Being talked into murdering innocents is when PTSD and "Non Battle Deaths" rate as justified.
The US has always picked the fight, going back to the war of secession with Britain. Arguably the only "justified" war the US has been involved in was WW2.
There's a reasons each side in any war works hard to dehumanise or ridicule the other, and reducing PTSD isn't even a core one.
You mean like Germany in WWII? After the doctors showed in WWI what modern medicine can achieve and after the war, a broken and bankrupt society had to keep this poor humans alive.
I don't believe anything the Zionists say or write because they have a long history to not honor anything that would jeapordize their ultimate objective. And it's not only "greater Israel" but ultimately the dominance of the entire world. The History of Jews tells a clear tale and it will not change.
A ceasefire is cause to celebrate, and is certainly a feather in Trump's cap. The disappearance of Blinken and Sullivan next week will keep the party energy going. The really dopey thing is that the Israelis keep repeating the same mistakes over and over. I guess being God's chosen doesn't guarantee intelligence.
I am not going to say anything about DT doing a good job and doing what was in the best interest of the world. Nope, because we all know Biden did it haha.
Seriously, to you folks upset and sitting there rubbing your hands together impatiently waiting for DT to screw up again ask yourself this: What kind of American are you? We all know what kind. Donald Trump robs you daily of your big chance for Civil War 2, societal collapse, and your white ethnostate.
And for you folks smart enough to NOT want any of that, understand DT is probably the best hope we got to not end up any of those circumstances including technological enslavement. For now he is our prize fighter.
In his farewell address, Joe warned about the dangerous concentration of wealth & power in the hands of the few. Then he said, “We need to ban members of Congress from trading stock while they’re in Congress.” Were Nancy Antoinette’s ears burning?!!?
Yeah. No respect for closing the barn door once the horses are out. Eisenhower was the first to use the operations arm of the CIA for regime change. Our republic has been dead ever since.
Iirc, regime change has been a tool of US statecraft since long before the CIA was conceived. Panama for instance is a product of US sponsored 'regime adjustment'.
Wrong attitude, in the end you may be correct but you are not helping matters. The “my vote doesn’t matter” psyop has really worked on the right. All you do it make it easier for hard leftist to entrench themselves in power.
If you don't live in a swing state, your vote doesn't matter. And, 95% of votes are counted by machines easily manipulated. That means no one ever really knows who they really voted for. There is not a single Leftist or Socialist in the Congress; the people you think are "hard Leftists" are in fact neoliberal Democrats, right-wing Wall Street lovers of war, including that fraud Sanders (who is despised by the leadership for being too far left). Hope this clears up confusion for you.
It’s hard for me to dispute the facts of the situation at this point. Still voting is a minor inconvenience that we must all encourage. It’s a shame because this psyop “voting doesn’t matter” has continuously ceded conservative strongholds to the left. You wake up one morning in your sleepy town only to learn a Soros DA got appointed. Right about the time that happens the hole has already been dug.
The other psyop and shame is “doesn’t matter who you vote for all the same.” This one gets pushed around and is even more insidious than the first excuse not to vote. I live in FL and in 2018 we got pretty fucking close to electing that ass ramming meth smoking leftist instead of re electing DeSantis.
There is NO WAY for me to describe the bullet this stage dodged that day. I promise you FL would look entirely different than today. This psyops frustrates the shit out of me because there are countless examples out there to look at. Just look to places the left has fortified. They seem to destroy just about everything.
What on Earth are you talking about? What Left? The Dems are a right-wing, pro-war, pro-Wall Street Party; so are the Republicans. Everything else is window dressing, phony distractions. You voted for a plutocrat, supported by crazed Zionists, in thrall to Wall Street. It's more of the same, over and over. You're playing a game that's designed so that ordinary citizens ALWAYS lose.
Phil it’s a biz affair. Has nothing to do with evil. You take what you can get sir. This black and white thinking has led us into some horrible problems. I am starting to understand this now.
You have to make a decision. If you choose to do nothing you are just as guilty of letting evil flourish.
I would highly recommend that you search for Padraig Martin on Gab. He is a Christian Nationalist btw. He had the best write up I have ever seen on RDS and the situation in Florida about it.
I was shocked when I read it. He explains the relationship RDS has with Israel very well including how they baited him over there when he announced his run for president.
It should have been around October or Sept. don’t believe that guy posts a ton so not too hard to find i wouldn’t think. I would find it for you but I am not going on that site lol. I get baited in and will eat up my time. But understand, not all is as seems.
Sometimes I wonder if the people that knock DJT down are not part of the Deep State? You know they use the old "They're all the same" thing and try to dissuade people from getting involved in the political system.
Or perhaps they are like the Race Baiters like Al Sharpton. They need race -wars- to keep themselves relevant in some way.
What would happen if the US simply walks away from the Eastern Hemisphere? We buy Greenland and Panama and take the Western Canadian Provinces? Walk away from NATO and tell the British Financial Aristocrats to pound sand? Put heavy tariffs on imports and take our US Navy away from the China Sea?
Do you have any idea how to bring lasting peace to this area? There are economic differences that are hard to bridge. Here in Austria we have migrants from all over the world, some are good workers (like the Turks or Bosniacs) and climb up in society, but others will never learn how to work (like the Muslim Arabs), they will never ever leave the lowest income area. But if rich and poor live together without any chance for social advancement of the poor and, to make things worse, with the color of your skin and the religion showing clearly where you belong to, this is a recipe for disaster.
Where do you live? Is the experience different? Why is this wrong? This is the situation in Austria (and a lot of other countries in Europe). You can go through the statistics (provided by the government) and you will find this situation develope, or just open your eyes when walking through the country. And please, I am talking about the majorities not this one exception of the rule. I would be glad to hear other stories, because the result of this non-working stance will be forced(!!!) re-migration, with all the inhumane disasters around it.
Dont worry, you are absolutely correct. You should come to the US and see our "hard working" minorities. Its the same everywhere. They come to White countries for a reason, to syphon off resources.
Every economy has wealthy and poor. In ethnically homogenous societies the poor are the same race as the wealthy.
Growing up in a mostly white country I'd see the rundown suburbs full of the poor and they looked like me.
As for your slur against Muslim Arabs, are you inferring Muslim Christians are more upwardly mobile?
Minorites are in low income areas due to inherent racism from the host population (yeah I'm pointing a finger at you), not because they don't want to leave the slums.
And BTW we all know who the most famous person from your country is, and his Aryan superiority seems to have infected you.
Something to think about! I posted this maybe a year ago, when simplicius was referring to something about Syria. In the very early Middle Ages, a lot of technlogie was developed - even Iroscottus refers to the following things). New techniques for water transport and treatment. New Soap (do not laugh, an important thing). New way to irrigate land. New ways to work iron. Most of this originated in Syria (not exactly, but the Eastern Roman province). Nowadays, we would compare this area to Silicon Vally. Beside this, they had endless discussions about Christian religion, the reason Herakleios told them to be out now. You will agree, this was the most innovative strip of land on earth. And today? What happened? Something must have been gone wrong. So please read about this. There are very good books about the cultural, agricultural and metalurgic revolution of this time and of course about Herakleios famous victory, which formed our world more, than most other things.
why dont you ask why there are Turks, Bosniacs and arabs even in Austria. the answer is the jew and the most famous austrian ever knew this and is proven correct every day....
There were at least another 2 protest speaches during Blinken's address
""You will forever be known as bloody Blinken, secretary of genocide. You have the blood of thousands of innocent people on your hands," one protester shouted before being led out of the event."
"A protester interrupted the US Secretary of State while he was delivering a foreign policy speech, .... The demonstrator accused him of being a liar and war criminal."
He wasn't a "demonstrator". He was a highly respected journalist not in the pocket of Blinken or the rest of the Bribe em riff raff who was attending Blinky's last public appearance as head of the State Department.
Shameful. Blinky SHOULD be facing trial at the Hague. He's a mass murderer.
When the state goons violently removed Sam Hussein from the room every journalist there should have gotten up and walked out. Instead they just sat there and watched it happen.
Max Bluementhol also got in Tony’s face and he was removed too.
The press has given the Biden administration cover to keep doing it.
They better use special ink if they want it to dry before Israel starts violating the ceasefire, then uses the Hamas response to justify resuming their Jewish genociding, unless they need a pause to reorganise and refit in preparation for more genociding in Lebanon and Syria.
Agree , Trump's History and his new WAR PLANS are a clear sign than not much will change for the World outside the US. IRAN is perhaps next or at a smaller scale Panama and Greenland ... not to mention Canada or yes, Mexico and Cuba. Nothing will change for us unworthy foreigners in far and near lands. DT has another Label (HOPE) but i don't buy it. It will however be hard to top what the Biden admin left behind.
I think DJT has only one bee in his bonnet: China. He wants all the other problems to vanish as he sees domestic production as the alternative to foreign interests and all the baggage that entails.
A member of the new Trump administration transition committee said:
On his first day in the White House, Donald Trump will sign 100 executive orders that have already been prepared in advance.
Of these, 13 will be dedicated to Iran.
Among them will be a travel ban for those who have applied for visas to Iran and the preparation of the Pentagon's military plans regarding Iran's nuclear program.
These orders are planned to be signed on his first day in office.
I suspect you are correct. Iran is a bone stuck in the throat of the colonialists. It can't be swallowed and it can't be coughed up. It will require surgery.
Within the ME, the theatre of war has simply shifted, as the US neocons, Republican and democrat, now want it to. Quickly, decisively with the change in US regime.
This is reminiscent of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan to go fight a tastier, more rewarding war (so it thought) in Ukraine- that went well. Of course the fighting is as ever, through proxies. The western hegemon is incapable of fighting its own wars as in expending blood and guts on any significant scale. It can fund them still, although actually generating the hardware is becoming more of a struggle at an ever more exuberant inflationary cost. But dying on the ground in the grand cause of resource grabs for its own corporations to exploit, not so much.
This is a 'the king (war) is dead, long live the king (war)' moment, as the US-Israeli nut jobs seem to think they can take on Turkey. I have no idea where Trump's head is at with this. We will surely find out.
So where's that hasbara hussy to tell how Is-ra-el is, like, totes winning, guys, and we, like, have to get used to that and be ready because, like, they're totes gonna attack Iran next?
Defeat Iran? The IDF can't even win the war next door!
Now it is Tulsi Gabbard who is finding respectability in order to be confirmed.
“Tulsi Gabbard Says She Now Supports Controversial Surveillance Law. Gabbard had previously criticized Section 702 as enabling the government to ’trample’ upon civil liberties.”
The Trump remaking of America is another example of Giuseppe di Lampedusa’s theme in his historical novel, The Leopard, that “things have to change so that they can remain the same
Whoever is still reading Paul Craig Roberts drivel, needs some serious help. PCR's predictions have about a 5 percent chance of being correct. Somebody crapped in PCR's Post Toasties along time ago and gave him some sort of mental disease.
EAD
Can't wait to read it with my morning coffee. Good day to you good Simplicius sir.
Jenn, with all due respect, just fuck off with your constant spamming. Try eating a dick instead, you may enjoy it.

Hamas was created and financed with Israeli money because they wanted radical opposition, not moderates like Arafat and Abbas. The assassination of Hamas senior leaders was needed because they might spill the beans on who they were really working for.
Once you understand that, the game becomes clear.
This is just a pause between rounds to allow the "fighters" in this Middle East WWE match to re-hydrate and work out their play-by-play script for the next round.
Or maybe, just maybe, the Jews aren't as tough and clever as they constantly try to make themselves out to be.
Don't diminish the OP's commanding yet simplistic Gameball terminology please.
It wasn't a secret that Israel wanted Hamas in Gaza. There is a video from 2019 I think of Nuttyu asking the UAE to continue the funding. I think WaPo reported on who set Hamas up in 1989.
1989. That's long ago. That doesn't mean they controlled Hamas and definitely doesn't mean that they controlled Hamas in 2023. There are just a few nutcases who claim that Hamas striking back against Israel was secretly Netty's plan, with Hamas being his lackeys. I'd like to drop off these nuts in a camp in Gaza and have them tell the Palestinians that.
@Tell
Israeli media writes about the Israeli government's financial relationship with Hamas:
https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/
Tell me that controlling financial resources of your "opposition" doesn't equate with a controlled opposition. Follow the money, not the lieing words coming out of politicians mouths.
----------
"There are just a few nutcases & etc."
I must live in a pistachio warehouse, all I see around me are cases of nuts.
More than one time in history has a tyrant been outsmarted by those whom the tyrant foolishly believed were in their camp.
I'm sure you believe ISIS came about "naturally" too.
I don't believe israel ever wanted to 'control' Hamas. they simply wanted to make certain that the Palestinians were always divided and warring among themselves. It is a common strategy for the US/UK/israel.
Maybe, but there are also all the reports from Israeli civilians about the strange stand-down orders along the border with Gaza just before the 'miraculous' October 7 hang-glider invasion, which was promptly followed up by the Zionist regime's fast imposition of its barbaric 'Hannibal' (rhymes with cannibal) doctrine against its own civilians. Satanyahoo was in political trouble back then and is now firmly entrenched. Like many imperialists, he seems to have bitten off more than he can chew up though.
They of course use Hamas, but don't control them. They will take any opportunity that arises. Oct 7 was a gift to Bibi.
Milejkowsky had sent his wayward son Yair to Florida weeks before the “surprise “ on 10/7. Other people’s children have been maimed and killed during bibi-the-mongrel war on Gaza.
You seriously think those Hamas leaders were secretly working for Israel?
Israel gave them money LONG AGO as part of a strategy to counter Fatah. That doesn't mean Israel controls them or even controlled them back then. Drop the conspiracy theory. Absolutely no one agrees with you. Especially not any Palestinians I have known. Don't insult them.
You are correct.
Oct 7th was a flag. Someone inside hamas was controlled.
I think there is at least a 50-50 chance that you're correct about this. See my post above.
Try and find a video that a Shitraeli posted a week or two after Oct 7th. He had footage of Heeb speaking Euro looking men in matching colour polo shirts directing Palestinian fighters.
And then there is testimony from many IOF filth stating their warnings about Hamas fighters activities prior to Oct were ignored and many were stood down just prior.
It was MOSSAD facilitated.
But don't you see, George Washington was an officer in the British controlled armies, there's no way he isn't a plant for England!
@Opport Knocks
"they wanted radical opposition, not moderates like Arafat and Abbas"
----------
PLO was secular, there are a significant % of Palestinians who were Christian (and are also legally 2nd class citizens/reactive targets, same as the rest). Dividing is always a good start before conquering.
PLO was also SOCIALIST- No US client state gets attaboys for allowing socialism to rear its ugly head.
If you are going to face opposition groups no matter what, it is more efficient to front run OpFors development by creating your own puppet group or suborning/controlling/funding to dominance your choice of such which might crop up- FBI, CIA and US State Dept. all have LONG histories with this technique.
Nonsense. Hamas existed as a resistance to opposition; however, because it was religious, the Israelis thought they could use it in opposition to the secular Fatah. This was simply 'divide and rule' strategy; however, Hamas turned out to be uncontrollable and much stronger than they anticipated. Please do not denigrate the brave fighters of Resistance with Israeli Hasbara.
we did not wipe Hamas forever but we have so many crushed skulls of Hamad terrorists , lying around in our backyard, so we feel really happy while Putin’s dog are barking and yelling.
Close your whining holo museums, followers of dog-faced Jabotinsky, a fascist Jew.
@drall
They only gave your group US $150,000,000 for information warfare between all of you, I can understand why you aren't motivated to try harder. Hope your 2nd job is a good one.

And rewrite the definition of victory, scrub/edit/delete some old web pages + tweak a few Google algorithms as needed. Winston Smith would really appreciate our new paperless info sphere- No more papercuts at work or memory hole trash burner maintenance.

At least it maintains a record of article edits.
DJT thinks of himself as a boss, and he expects those he appoints to Cabinet positions to carry out *his* agenda, not theirs. The person who’s going to make the Big Decisions about foreign policy, for instance is DJT not somebody else.
Marco Rubio, DJT’s appointee for Secretary of State, has been a severe neocon hawk throughout his entire political career. He has been an outspoken cheerleader for Ukraine, and for our supporting Ukraine, ever since the SMO commenced. What’s interesting today is that Rubio has moderated this view; in fact, he has neutered that view to align better w/ DJT’s too. He delivered a gut-check of the highest order on Project Ukraine before a senate confirmation panel in Washington.
“It should be the official position of the U.S.,” according to Rubio, “that this war must be brought to an end.” Note how transformative a statement like this is in the hallowed halls of power where for the past three years few elected officials had the nerve, let lone the political will, to interrogate the U.S.’s interests in supporting a proxy like Ukraine against a nuclear-armed super power. Washington-speak would not allow it.
Today, however, Rubio sat before an august body and uttered the utterable: the official position of the U.S. should not be to destroy Russia or to weaken Russia or to make sure that Ukraine can retake Crimea—but to bring the war to an end. This is not Rubio speaking. This is *DJT* speaking.
During the entire interregnum The Economist and Bloomberg and the FT have asserted, on the basis of anonymous sources, that DJT would give Ukraine every weapon it wanted if VVP refused to agree to a ceasefire, etc. All of that was speculation—propaganda for driving a slow interregnum news-cycle. It was not real.
Hearing Rubio lay out DJT’s policy objectives regarding Ukraine should leave no one needing to read the tea leaves. Rubio articulated the objective as clearly as one could.
Any resolution of the war will of course include concessions to Russia—if not an outright capitulation altogether—but to have said anything of the sort until this very week was to be tarred as a Putin Apologist or a Kremlin Stooge. For someone as hawkish as Rubio to stand up and boldly state that “the official policy of the U.S. should be that this war must end” would not have been possible had DJT not thumpingly euthanized the Dems and their craven neocon sponsors and their rules-based-hypocrisy on 5 November.
OTAN, so addicted by now to the freedom to hurl ATACMS and Storm Shadows and Scalps into motherland Russia, sees that their drug-of-choice is now in short supply.
OTAN has 4 days to hurl, hurl, hurl away. After that, Common Sense daddy is in da house.
I like what you say - it tickles my ears. However, too many times Trump has said something like this and is then taken into a room by certain 'advisers' and after a while emerges with a changed perspective.
We shall see. I do hope you are right, but forgive me for being highly skeptical at this point. Actions speak far louder than words - I will await the actions.
Indeed, it seems Trump understands that both Ukraine and the Gaza holocaust are millstones around a president's neck. He sees what they did to Biden. (Who of course gave the green light for both.) He does not want that for himself.
Ideally both end quickly so Trump can focus on actually doing something for Americans, such as stop the mass invasion by millions of illegal aliens, or as the Democrats call them, party-saving voters.
Sometimes there remains little else but hope.
To hope for the best is not a sin (although it’s not much of a strategy, either).
Plan B & plan C always bear thinking of.
Thank you for the comment. It reveals a gentle spirit combined with wisdom. Please hold on to both.
Hope for the best but prepare for the worst is how my dad always put it.
You think Trump cares about you🤣😂🤣
Oh please. Where is end of birthright citizenship?
If you are still impressed by what they say and not by what they really do then you're just a child
Really, who the fuck trusts a word any neocon says? Rubio can and probably will change his story again soon, just like Trump when his goldfish-like attention span is drawn to some new shiny object.
The taste of sour grapes.
Hello Ensign. It is not their words to which I pay attention. For myself, it is how their words stack up against reality that matter.
She's still not in jail.
Stay tuned, we will see what happens. I wish you a great weekend.
Indeed.
Not a chance, cheetos! This has nothing to do with djt. This is the US military speaking. trump is just their spokesperson/puppet. The US military knows how overextended we are thanks to the Ukraine debacle and the billions in weapons we've provided israel for their ongoing genocide. The US is beyond broke and the west coast is on fire. And then there's CHINAAA! trump will start in on CHINAA and how much of a threat they pose to our "freedom" once he's in office.
trump was put in power to divide the country and he did a brilliant job in his first term. He said he had the best generals and that he has the best brain, yet he managed to f up everything he touched, because that's what he was put in power to do.
This Greenland/Canada/Mexico nonsense is his latest distraction to take everyone's eyes off israel, which he supports 500%. More misdirection by the man who made his living conning everyone who did business with him. The art of the deal should have been called The Art of the Con as that's trumps MO.
The military doesn't care about the US budget, fires or floods or genocides. Generals don't get promoted for being culturally or fiscally conservative, much less, moral.
CHY-NAH isn't going to be anything different than the last time around I don't think.
Repetition Compulsion incoming.
VVP has observed this through 6 U.S. presidencies--and now DJT's 2nd term will give VVP a front-row seat w/ the 7th.
Like VVP explained to Tucker in their sit-down: "The president and I agree to a deal, but the next day the men in dark suits show up to nullify the deal."
Didn't you just contradict yourself? ;-)
While Trump has done many things to disappoint, it's just childish to write his name without a capital T. Write so you are taken seriously.
Give him credit for not spelling it Trumpstein.
I wonder if President Xi will accept Trump's invitation to his inauguration. It's the first time a foreign leader has been invited to such an event.
Still have to 😆whenever some of Trump's voters think that China will invade the U.S. in some "Red Dawn" scenario. Why would they want to invade us? We're about to break apart as a nation at which time they can just deal with the breakaway states as individual nations.
Besides, like Russia, all of China's military doctrine is based on regional defense. Not conquest or seeking to become a Unipolar Hegemon. China is reputed to have the largest land based missile arsenal in the world. But most of it, along with it's nukes, are short and medium range missiles in the event a war against the U.S. in the South and East China Seas.
Something like only 12-15% of their Nuclear Triad contain ICBMs, SLBMs, etc. that can target the U.S. for the purpose of a counter strike or deterrence. Not intimidation.
I think Rubio has to align with that view because he wants to freeze the war before Ukraine loses much more. He will not get what he wants because Russia will not accept anything less than total capitulation, and the US does not have much to offer.
Rubio has to align with Trump's view cuz he was told to articulate that view by Trump.
I wholeheartedly agree with your last sentence.
The U.S. has zero leverage over Russia in Project Ukraine, so a pivot away from the debacle, Joe's Folly, can't come fast enough.
Astute witnesses to the conflict saw the folly by the fall of Mariupol, if not before.
However, an oddity of the past 4 years is that policy makers & those in the public light, as well as just ordinary people, have been condemned as taking a page from the Kremlin Playbook whenever they have deigned to probe or interrogate U.S. interests in Ukraine.
So there was a total speech embargo.
Recall, too, that Dems and other leading lights of the Collective Biden coterie were obligated to hit the blue & yellow propaganda hard and insist on Standing With Ukraine because they did not want the ticket to lose the 2024 presidential election.
How'd that work
With the end of Collective Biden, there's no reason to maintain the ruse. With the end of Collective Biden, it is possible to give voice to pragmatism again.
>>
It’s a thing: people are as they used to be.
The shorter the time taken to agree a deal (capitulation, I think), the more likely it is that Trump can fully blame Biden for the war. The longer the war goes on, the more baggage Trump will have to carry.
Pragmatism like trading with Iran and Russia ?
Russia will accept partial capitulation - I think most pro-Russian commentators agree that they only want to move up to the Dniepr. They have no interest in moving into western Ukraine, where the actual Ukrainians live. They will not even take the capital, I'm sure.
Sadly, they probably won't even take Zhapo City or Kharkov. Knowing Putin, which I think we do by now, he'll be satisfied by only taking Donbass, not caring that on the map that looks small. So we will be stuck with all the pro-Biden commentators bragging that "Ukraine stopped him from taking anything more than Donbass."
I can't really agree with that. Leaving the most fanatical, nationalistic portion of Ukraine intact and based only on an agreement with a non-agreement-capable country is not situation Russia could ever accept. And frankly, I am not convinced that the US and the Western Alliance will be willing to accept what will be considered a defeat - they have no reverse gear. To both sides of the conflict, this war is far greater than Ukraine. It is considered by both sides as an existential struggle - a failing hegemon v a rising multi-polar world - the stakes could not be higher.
Agree. Straussians (ziocons whose goal is a full-spectrum jewish dominance) and the zionized CIA have been resting on laurels since the murder of the last American president J F Kennedy. The Vampire Squid (banking cabal) and the secret services serving the cabal have achieved amazing results globally.
Well, whoever the hell replaces Zelensky had better pledge not to join NATO and demand that all Western Forces need to leave Ukraine.
Either that or Russia will have to rain some Oreshniks onto Ukraine and warn Poland, Brussels and London that they will be next.
For now, anytime NATO missiles strike Russia, Moscow should retaliate by hitting positions in Ukraine with concentrations of Western mercs with Thermobaric weapons. Fuck returning the carcasses of these war criminals. Use them for fertilizer.
Well it depends on the meaning of capitulation. I think Western Ukraine might even end up split between Poland and Bulgaria to some extent, but in any case the rump left to remain will be a toothless buffer state. It has to be neutered or destroyed. Nothing else. Rubio wants a freeze because NATO has no arms manufacturing capacity. He wants a frw years to shift Europe into a domestic production EU NATO military zone. Right now there are no factories, no barrels and no ammo. Russia know this so no freeze or pause will be allowed.
DeNAZIfication means they will have to control west of the Dneiper. Not necessarily occupy, but cleanse and control through friendly locals.
The words of Patrushev might be instructive. He cites specific cities as being of particular concern. These cities suggest they might be more Russianness-centric than geography-centric in their thinking. That doesn't negate the fact that they also have security concerns that are more about pushing the hostile ones westwards of course....but 'acquiring territory' and 'reducing danger' aren't exactly the same thing.
===
NIKOLAI PATRUSHEV:
[Representatives of the new U.S. administration, in particular advisors appointed by Trump, have acknowledged in some of their speeches that Russia will not cede any territories that have already become part of the Russian Federation to Ukraine or anyone else under any circumstances.]
"This is not even up for discussion.
The territories that were once governed from Kiev became part of Russia as a result of the will of the citizens, in accordance with international law, the laws of the Russian Federation, and the legislation of those regions.
As for the Russian stance on Ukraine, it remains unchanged.
It is important for us that the objectives of the Special Military Operation are achieved. They are well-known and have not changed; they have been repeatedly stated by the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin.
It is also important for the entry of the Donetsk People's Republic, Lugansk People's Republic, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, the Republic of Crimea, and Sevastopol into the Russian Federation to be recognized worldwide, as they are an integral part of our country according to the Constitution.
I want to emphasize once again that the Ukrainian people remain close and brotherly to us, connected by centuries-old ties with Russia, no matter what the crazed Kiev propagandists, obsessed with 'Ukrainianism,' claim to the contrary.
We care about what is happening in Ukraine.
We are particularly concerned that the violent imposition of neo-Nazi ideology and rampant Russophobia are destroying Ukraine’s once-thriving cities, including Kharkov, Odessa, Nikolaev, and Dnipro.
It is possible that, in the coming year, Ukraine may cease to exist altogether.
If we talk about the specific prospects for the further development of events considering the Trump factor, we respect his statements.
I believe that negotiations regarding Ukraine should be conducted between Russia and the USA without the involvement of other Western countries.
There is nothing to discuss with London or Brussels.
The EU leadership, for example, no longer has the right to speak on behalf of many of its members, such as Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, Romania, and some other European countries that are interested in stability in Europe and take a balanced position regarding Russia."
When I think of an "august body" I think of gravitas, maturity, statesmanship, intellectual debate. I don't think of Rubio or the US Congress.
While people can change, and can be forced to see the truth on issues, I will always be completely disgusted by Marco Rubio. He is a political prostitute, nothing else.
And of course he says these things about Ukraine only when Trump has made it safe to do so. He took part in all the smearing of Trump as the new Hitler back in 2016.
Tatalia is a pimp.

The traditional work arounds for that kind of presidential willfulness have included spinning/falsifying/censoring their information feeds, ever since the CIA began their move from working for the executive branch to wearing it like a hand puppet and/or some of their elements facilitating coups against "problem presidents" when long term foreign policy goals and the investment strategies of more important people were threatened. Which move I believe one can see signs of setting in around their 3rd director.
Between Trump's apparent % of squirrel DNA and the unelected 90%+ of the federal iceberg involved in information collection, analysis, policy formulation and implementation often working towards various other agendas? I'm not betting anything I can't afford to walk away from on a damn thing Trump says he will do.
That would apply to nearly anyone else holding his office too.
I was REALLY hoping RFK was going to be Secretary of Homeland Terrorism so he could start dismantling the most dangerous parts of the DC Bureaucratic Mafia.
>Trump's apparent % of squirrel DNA
Funny description of his characteristic, but Trump is a master of keeping his opponents, onlookers, and allies off balance. He's achieved remarkable 'personal' success with that tactic.
Or maybe he just has the attention span of a squirrel on crack and can't be arsed to bother with facts, reality or consistency when selling, debating, attacking & generally spieling? The boy has been "winging it" his whole verbal life AFAICT. Since he was born rich and then given more, nobody has ever held him accountable- Don't try this at home.
Maybe he's a bit of both. Maybe he's part squirrel, part eel, part honey badger. Chimera.

I'm so close to ordering this hat as a way to pimp the local liberal population I swim against. Genocide Joe got 80% of the vote in my suburb. I've seen only ONE sign in my community calling for the end of the Gazan genocide. JUST ONE EFFING SIGN shown in this "humantarian" outpost. Harris signs everywhere like invasive weeds. Tiny pissant Denmark, part of the NAFO pirate enterprise...ready to pick over the bones of the collapsed Russia. Fuck'em. The Onion couldn't offer up a more absurd scenario. I hope president potato rots in hell after he leaves the blood red house.
Hahaha...I hope you order one or a dozen.
I forgot all about the NAFO types.
They are still out there organized into various Reddit regiments or members of Denis Davydov's MacBook Brigade ready to fight Putin to the last Ukrainian I suppose.

Remember, everything after the "?" is tracking.
I'm not one for street confrontations, but that's a funny hat. Can't buy it even just for a personal collection due to the 2nd line being so far off-center.
Trump will do what his Jew masters tell him. Always has.
Who cares what foam party boy says.
Fock uff you zip douche bag. Israel is a loser rapo state and it will be vanquished
Bruh! Did your cat shit in your coffee? Easy now…..you’re gonna throw a clot!
ROFL!🤣
These Israeli wounded figures do not square with the number of deaths - as Simplicitus points out. However, in some respects it is better for the society if these seriously wounded had died. Their continuing to live is a constant and permanent drain on the resources of the society.
The Palestinians don't have that problem as their hospitals have been destroyed.
My apologies for the crudeness of this post.
I like your point. I was thinking yesterday that Israeli ´society´, because of the loss they suffered and especially with the large number of wounded in front of their eyes, may shiver at the next suggested round of all out war by their leadership. They are not of the same timber of those before them. They appear more and more like ignorant, blind and spoiled children, who know nothing of a real struggle until the current lesson was administered.
I wish well to you.
The U.S. has conducted a study into its Iraq and Afghanistan veterans (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34238813/ for those interested) and found that a further 20% of deaths (unironically called "Non Battle Deaths" or "Self-Inflicted Injuries") over and above those KIA occur within combat troops.
PTSD is a thing, and has been for as long as there has been war.
When was the last time we were attacked and invaded by a foreign adversary? My guess would be it's far higher in blatantly unjustified wars. Being talked into murdering innocents is when PTSD and "Non Battle Deaths" rate as justified.
The US has always picked the fight, going back to the war of secession with Britain. Arguably the only "justified" war the US has been involved in was WW2.
There's a reasons each side in any war works hard to dehumanise or ridicule the other, and reducing PTSD isn't even a core one.
how was US (UK or french ) involvement in WW2 justified ? only the jew thinks that...
Crude but brutally true.
You mean like Germany in WWII? After the doctors showed in WWI what modern medicine can achieve and after the war, a broken and bankrupt society had to keep this poor humans alive.
Where did you learn your ethics?
Reality is a nuisance.
Come on, where?
Ask the Zionists that question.
No, you answer it.
I don't believe anything the Zionists say or write because they have a long history to not honor anything that would jeapordize their ultimate objective. And it's not only "greater Israel" but ultimately the dominance of the entire world. The History of Jews tells a clear tale and it will not change.
Millennia of a globally dispersed people with, remarkably, one united and never-changing objective. Yes, history and the Talmud testify.
THIS ^
A ceasefire is cause to celebrate, and is certainly a feather in Trump's cap. The disappearance of Blinken and Sullivan next week will keep the party energy going. The really dopey thing is that the Israelis keep repeating the same mistakes over and over. I guess being God's chosen doesn't guarantee intelligence.
Repetition Compulsion explains this.
Note how *white* Antony B has turned.
Kiev won't be the same without those Blinkie blues
😂
I noticed that. You think it from sun and surf?
Withdrawal symptoms. Not enough innocent blood lately.
I am not going to say anything about DT doing a good job and doing what was in the best interest of the world. Nope, because we all know Biden did it haha.
Seriously, to you folks upset and sitting there rubbing your hands together impatiently waiting for DT to screw up again ask yourself this: What kind of American are you? We all know what kind. Donald Trump robs you daily of your big chance for Civil War 2, societal collapse, and your white ethnostate.
And for you folks smart enough to NOT want any of that, understand DT is probably the best hope we got to not end up any of those circumstances including technological enslavement. For now he is our prize fighter.
In his farewell address, Joe warned about the dangerous concentration of wealth & power in the hands of the few. Then he said, “We need to ban members of Congress from trading stock while they’re in Congress.” Were Nancy Antoinette’s ears burning?!!?
Lol he (JB) wants to ban the insider trading now with a few days left to go too 😂
It's like Eisenhower warning about the MIC, which grew enormously on his watch: "I made this shit sandwich, but you're the ones who get to eat it!"
Yeah. No respect for closing the barn door once the horses are out. Eisenhower was the first to use the operations arm of the CIA for regime change. Our republic has been dead ever since.
Iirc, regime change has been a tool of US statecraft since long before the CIA was conceived. Panama for instance is a product of US sponsored 'regime adjustment'.
The speech writers were putting lipstick on a pig. Biden has always been a walking sack of dishonest crap.
Blood-stained Lincoln
I think it was Blinken, not Lincoln.
Last call for Presidential Pardons.
Pay up now, or face the consequences...
Hilarity coming from the writers for "Mr. Ten-percent", the retarded ventriloquist-dummy who didn't even control his own sphincter.
Keep in mind who was the congresswoman who shived Biden.
Genocide Joe said the same things when he took office. Good riddance to that sick, lying dimwit.
The US as a political entity is doomed no matter how many Santa letters you send in to the ballot box.
Wrong attitude, in the end you may be correct but you are not helping matters. The “my vote doesn’t matter” psyop has really worked on the right. All you do it make it easier for hard leftist to entrench themselves in power.
If you don't live in a swing state, your vote doesn't matter. And, 95% of votes are counted by machines easily manipulated. That means no one ever really knows who they really voted for. There is not a single Leftist or Socialist in the Congress; the people you think are "hard Leftists" are in fact neoliberal Democrats, right-wing Wall Street lovers of war, including that fraud Sanders (who is despised by the leadership for being too far left). Hope this clears up confusion for you.
It’s hard for me to dispute the facts of the situation at this point. Still voting is a minor inconvenience that we must all encourage. It’s a shame because this psyop “voting doesn’t matter” has continuously ceded conservative strongholds to the left. You wake up one morning in your sleepy town only to learn a Soros DA got appointed. Right about the time that happens the hole has already been dug.
The other psyop and shame is “doesn’t matter who you vote for all the same.” This one gets pushed around and is even more insidious than the first excuse not to vote. I live in FL and in 2018 we got pretty fucking close to electing that ass ramming meth smoking leftist instead of re electing DeSantis.
There is NO WAY for me to describe the bullet this stage dodged that day. I promise you FL would look entirely different than today. This psyops frustrates the shit out of me because there are countless examples out there to look at. Just look to places the left has fortified. They seem to destroy just about everything.
What on Earth are you talking about? What Left? The Dems are a right-wing, pro-war, pro-Wall Street Party; so are the Republicans. Everything else is window dressing, phony distractions. You voted for a plutocrat, supported by crazed Zionists, in thrall to Wall Street. It's more of the same, over and over. You're playing a game that's designed so that ordinary citizens ALWAYS lose.
The Dems Right-Wing?
Nuts.
A vote for 'the lesser evil' is a vote for evil.
Phil it’s a biz affair. Has nothing to do with evil. You take what you can get sir. This black and white thinking has led us into some horrible problems. I am starting to understand this now.
You have to make a decision. If you choose to do nothing you are just as guilty of letting evil flourish.
Nobody gets out of this unscathed pal.
DeSantis is the ultimate jew tool. goes to the jew state in the ME to sign a law outlawing questioning the jew...
I would highly recommend that you search for Padraig Martin on Gab. He is a Christian Nationalist btw. He had the best write up I have ever seen on RDS and the situation in Florida about it.
I was shocked when I read it. He explains the relationship RDS has with Israel very well including how they baited him over there when he announced his run for president.
It should have been around October or Sept. don’t believe that guy posts a ton so not too hard to find i wouldn’t think. I would find it for you but I am not going on that site lol. I get baited in and will eat up my time. But understand, not all is as seems.
So what should we do? Just do nothing?
I live in California, I vote, I give money to the politicians I support, I talk to them...
Are you playing a psy-op then?
"democracy" just equals jew rule. vote for the blue or red jew approved candidate only. Ask Romanians...
Sometimes I wonder if the people that knock DJT down are not part of the Deep State? You know they use the old "They're all the same" thing and try to dissuade people from getting involved in the political system.
Or perhaps they are like the Race Baiters like Al Sharpton. They need race -wars- to keep themselves relevant in some way.
What would happen if the US simply walks away from the Eastern Hemisphere? We buy Greenland and Panama and take the Western Canadian Provinces? Walk away from NATO and tell the British Financial Aristocrats to pound sand? Put heavy tariffs on imports and take our US Navy away from the China Sea?
Am almost thinking they are AI bots at this point.
I'm an American with a fair degree of antipathy for modern jewish society and its proponents.
I really don’t know what to think about them at this point. I certainly understand your concern.
Another Lucy Football fake deal by Israel. You would think everyone would have learned by now.
They will violate any signed agreement as soon as it suits them. If there is no outside pretext, they will fabricate or false-flag one.
Trump and Netanyahu both know this. Their common financial backer, Miriam Adelson, will tell them when to continue the march to the sea.
Yes. But, the difference is they know they are not in Kansas anymore.
Do you have any idea how to bring lasting peace to this area? There are economic differences that are hard to bridge. Here in Austria we have migrants from all over the world, some are good workers (like the Turks or Bosniacs) and climb up in society, but others will never learn how to work (like the Muslim Arabs), they will never ever leave the lowest income area. But if rich and poor live together without any chance for social advancement of the poor and, to make things worse, with the color of your skin and the religion showing clearly where you belong to, this is a recipe for disaster.
Wow! Wrong, and astonishing racism to boot.
Where do you live? Is the experience different? Why is this wrong? This is the situation in Austria (and a lot of other countries in Europe). You can go through the statistics (provided by the government) and you will find this situation develope, or just open your eyes when walking through the country. And please, I am talking about the majorities not this one exception of the rule. I would be glad to hear other stories, because the result of this non-working stance will be forced(!!!) re-migration, with all the inhumane disasters around it.
Sig Heil. Fucking NAZI.
Is that you Shlomo ?
Dont worry, you are absolutely correct. You should come to the US and see our "hard working" minorities. Its the same everywhere. They come to White countries for a reason, to syphon off resources.
Shove your "racism" where it dont shine. That trope is played out.
what is wrong with racism ? are you opposed to logic ?
Every economy has wealthy and poor. In ethnically homogenous societies the poor are the same race as the wealthy.
Growing up in a mostly white country I'd see the rundown suburbs full of the poor and they looked like me.
As for your slur against Muslim Arabs, are you inferring Muslim Christians are more upwardly mobile?
Minorites are in low income areas due to inherent racism from the host population (yeah I'm pointing a finger at you), not because they don't want to leave the slums.
And BTW we all know who the most famous person from your country is, and his Aryan superiority seems to have infected you.
Something to think about! I posted this maybe a year ago, when simplicius was referring to something about Syria. In the very early Middle Ages, a lot of technlogie was developed - even Iroscottus refers to the following things). New techniques for water transport and treatment. New Soap (do not laugh, an important thing). New way to irrigate land. New ways to work iron. Most of this originated in Syria (not exactly, but the Eastern Roman province). Nowadays, we would compare this area to Silicon Vally. Beside this, they had endless discussions about Christian religion, the reason Herakleios told them to be out now. You will agree, this was the most innovative strip of land on earth. And today? What happened? Something must have been gone wrong. So please read about this. There are very good books about the cultural, agricultural and metalurgic revolution of this time and of course about Herakleios famous victory, which formed our world more, than most other things.
Why do they keep flooding "racist" White nations and not nations of other groups ? China for instance .
What did you do with the rational grr?
😁
he most famous person frpom austria is proven correct every day.
why dont you ask why there are Turks, Bosniacs and arabs even in Austria. the answer is the jew and the most famous austrian ever knew this and is proven correct every day....
There were at least another 2 protest speaches during Blinken's address
""You will forever be known as bloody Blinken, secretary of genocide. You have the blood of thousands of innocent people on your hands," one protester shouted before being led out of the event."

"A protester interrupted the US Secretary of State while he was delivering a foreign policy speech, .... The demonstrator accused him of being a liar and war criminal."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lw2tGazmhDM
Antony B was in need of Just For Men after that salvo from the protesters. Touching up the temples won't be enough
The demonstrator was absolutely spot on - that is why he was dragged away .
All of this motley crew should be put on trial for their complicity in the deaths and maiming of tens of thousands of men , women and children .
Will they be ? Of course not .
He wasn't a "demonstrator". He was a highly respected journalist not in the pocket of Blinken or the rest of the Bribe em riff raff who was attending Blinky's last public appearance as head of the State Department.
Shameful. Blinky SHOULD be facing trial at the Hague. He's a mass murderer.
When the state goons violently removed Sam Hussein from the room every journalist there should have gotten up and walked out. Instead they just sat there and watched it happen.
Max Bluementhol also got in Tony’s face and he was removed too.
The press has given the Biden administration cover to keep doing it.
Some even laughed. Cowardly cunts. And I wouldn't refer to them as journalists. They are stenographers.
Those other people are not journalists…they are stenographers.
They better use special ink if they want it to dry before Israel starts violating the ceasefire, then uses the Hamas response to justify resuming their Jewish genociding, unless they need a pause to reorganise and refit in preparation for more genociding in Lebanon and Syria.
How long after the last israeli hostage is released will it take for israel to renege on the deal and continue their genocide? Any wagers?
30 seconds.
Agree , Trump's History and his new WAR PLANS are a clear sign than not much will change for the World outside the US. IRAN is perhaps next or at a smaller scale Panama and Greenland ... not to mention Canada or yes, Mexico and Cuba. Nothing will change for us unworthy foreigners in far and near lands. DT has another Label (HOPE) but i don't buy it. It will however be hard to top what the Biden admin left behind.
I think DJT has only one bee in his bonnet: China. He wants all the other problems to vanish as he sees domestic production as the alternative to foreign interests and all the baggage that entails.
A member of the new Trump administration transition committee said:
On his first day in the White House, Donald Trump will sign 100 executive orders that have already been prepared in advance.
Of these, 13 will be dedicated to Iran.
Among them will be a travel ban for those who have applied for visas to Iran and the preparation of the Pentagon's military plans regarding Iran's nuclear program.
These orders are planned to be signed on his first day in office.
crikey (source?)
I suspect you are correct. Iran is a bone stuck in the throat of the colonialists. It can't be swallowed and it can't be coughed up. It will require surgery.
colonialists? you mean jew
@John Burke
100 executive orders? Nice round number there. Your sources, please?

@John Burke
(Quote from article)
"Allies of the president-elect have been preparing a stack of executive orders that Trump COULD sign quickly on a wide range of topics"
Article says COULD. Not WILL, the word used in your comment.
We may know more in a week or so.
Within the ME, the theatre of war has simply shifted, as the US neocons, Republican and democrat, now want it to. Quickly, decisively with the change in US regime.
This is reminiscent of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan to go fight a tastier, more rewarding war (so it thought) in Ukraine- that went well. Of course the fighting is as ever, through proxies. The western hegemon is incapable of fighting its own wars as in expending blood and guts on any significant scale. It can fund them still, although actually generating the hardware is becoming more of a struggle at an ever more exuberant inflationary cost. But dying on the ground in the grand cause of resource grabs for its own corporations to exploit, not so much.
This is a 'the king (war) is dead, long live the king (war)' moment, as the US-Israeli nut jobs seem to think they can take on Turkey. I have no idea where Trump's head is at with this. We will surely find out.
So where's that hasbara hussy to tell how Is-ra-el is, like, totes winning, guys, and we, like, have to get used to that and be ready because, like, they're totes gonna attack Iran next?
Defeat Iran? The IDF can't even win the war next door!

Whoever is still reading Paul Craig Roberts drivel, needs some serious help. PCR's predictions have about a 5 percent chance of being correct. Somebody crapped in PCR's Post Toasties along time ago and gave him some sort of mental disease.
