If you're too young to remember 2003, this was the line they used the last time the White House started an unwinnable war in the middle east. If you hate the war, you hate The Troops. And we all know you're not allowed to hate The Troops. You MUST love the imperial stormtroopers.
It's such shitbrained war propaganda. Yes, absolutely fuck the war. Absolutely fuck every single person who chose to enter into this ridiculously unprovoked war of aggression. And hey, fuck The Troops too while we're at it. Fuck everyone who knowingly enlisted in a military force that is literally only ever used to inflict evil in modern times.
Don't valorize employment in a murderous war machine. If you do, you're only encouraging future waves of young people to enlist. Don't be a pro bono recruitment advertiser for the US military. Stigmatize that entire line of work.
We're not doing that shit anymore. You don't get use "the troops" as human shields to hide the depravity of your military decisions behind. The fact that your mass atrocities are carried out by rank-and-file employees does not magically exonerate ANYONE involved. Not the people sending those employees off to war, and not the people who knowingly enlisted in a military force that is only ever used to murder human beings for power and profit.

Pablo Neruda a avoué sans le moindre remords dans ses propres mémoires avoir violé une domestique intouchable qui vidait ses latrines, avant d'abandonner sa fille unique lourdement handicapée pour la laisser mourir dans la misère.
Il reste pourtant célébré dans le monde entier comme le plus grand poète de l'amour du 20e siècle, prix Nobel de littérature en 1971 et figure morale de la gauche chilienne aux côtés de Salvador Allende.
Dans l'imaginaire collectif, le sénateur communiste incarne le chantre passionné des femmes et le défenseur lyrique des peuples opprimés et des humbles face aux puissants.
La réalité, écrite de sa propre main dans son autobiographie posthume J'avoue que j'ai vécu publiée en 1974 et documentée par sa correspondance familiale conservée aux archives de Santiago, dévoile un homme d'une cruauté glaciale envers les plus vulnérables.
En 1929, alors âgé de 25 ans et nommé consul du Chili à Ceylan, l'actuel Sri Lanka, le diplomate loge dans un bungalow où une femme tamoule de la caste des intouchables vient chaque matin vider le seau de ses excréments au fond de sa chambre.
Dans ses mémoires, Neruda raconte froidement comment, un matin, il a saisi la jeune femme silencieuse par le poignet, l'a entraînée de force vers son lit et l'a violée pendant qu'elle restait totalement figée, les yeux grands ouverts, en refusant de lui sourire et en ayant, écrit-il, raison de le mépriser.
Quelques années plus tard, le 18 août 1934 à Madrid, son épouse néerlandaise Maruca Reyes met au monde leur unique enfant, Malva Marina, qui naît atteinte d'une grave hydrocéphalie provoquant une déformation de sa boîte crânienne.
Incapable de supporter la vue de cette enfant malade qu'il qualifie dans ses lettres privées d'être parfaitement ridicule et de point-virgule, un vampire de 3 kilos, le poète abandonne sa femme et son bébé dès 1936 pour refaire sa vie avec sa maîtresse.
Installée aux Pays-Bas dans une misère noire, la mère de l'enfant lui envoie des dizaines de lettres désespérées pour le supplier de verser une pension alimentaire permettant de payer la famille d'accueil qui soigne la petite fille incapable de marcher et de parler.
Bien qu'il touche des revenus confortables de diplomate en France puis au Mexique, Neruda refuse de lui envoyer l'argent promis et ignore ses appels au secours pendant que l'armée allemande envahit les Pays-Bas.
Malva Marina meurt finalement dans le dénuement le 2 mars 1943 à Gouda, à l'âge de 8 ans, sans que son père ait jamais daigné venir la voir ni assister à ses obsèques.
En parallèle de ces abandons, le militant communiste met sa plume au service de Joseph Staline en lui dédiant des odes à sa gloire et participe activement à Mexico, en mai 1940, à l'organisation logistique de la première attaque armée dirigée par le peintre David Alfaro Siqueiros pour assassiner Léon Trotski.
L'homme que des générations de lecteurs ont vénéré comme le poète de la tendresse et de la fraternité humaine s'est comporté en prédateur colonial face à une domestique sans défense et a renié sa propre fille handicapée jusqu'à sa mort.

Ultimora, Israele: Eisenkot (ex capo di Stato M. di Bibi) e Netanyahu stanno negoziando sottobanco un poco originale "governo tandem", Premier a turno.
I loro numeri sono sufficienti, con piccola aggiunta, per governare il paese senza rabbini e senza palestinesi.

Hang on a minute, we've previously been told that British troops were going to be "peacekeepers."
Now it turns out that their mission is to "rebuild the Ukrainian army."
This is a recipe for being participants in a war, not for preventing it from resuming after a peace deal.
Genuine peacekeepers are neutral.
PS And why does the Ukrainian army need rebuilding when, we're told, it's winning and could eventually defeat Russia completely.

È esattamente il meccanismo du cui si è basato l'esperimento covips
Era nota la propensione di una certa generazione al sacrificio di quelli dopo di loro per salvare la pellaccia
In many ways millennial white men have been sacrificed on the altar for the supposed sins of their fathers and grandfathers. A lot of Gen X too. But the Boomers and older kept their jobs while this went on. To me that’s the scandal. Old white men sacrificing their own.

Kraków Shooting Sunday morning update:
Some pretty grim details have emerged overnight.
Police have found three bodies at the gunman's home in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski, about 150 km northeast of Kraków.
They are believed to be his mother, father and sister, although their identities have not yet been formally confirmed.
The suspect's sister normally lived in Kraków and had apparently returned to Ostrowiec to visit her parents. Neighbours described the parents as friendly, sociable people. One said they had celebrated New Year's Eve together.
They also knew about the family's interest in firearms. According to one neighbour, the father and son regularly visited a shooting range together, sometimes every Sunday morning.
The suspect is 24 years old and had a firearms permit. Polish media report that he was a member of the Świt shooting club in Starachowice and had two legally registered firearms. His father reportedly owned another eleven.
That means the father and son had thirteen registered firearms between them.
The suspect reportedly trained as a lathe operator at a vocational school in Ostrowiec.
The defence minister has confirmed that he never served in the Polish military, despite earlier reports suggesting otherwise.
As for his possible motive, there's still very little new information.
Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński said yesterday that the gunman held very radical views and appeared to be fascinated by far-right ideologies. But we haven't yet been told what investigators found to support that assessment, whether he had links to any extremist organisations, or whether those beliefs motivated the shooting.
We also know more about the two police officers who confronted him.
They've been named as Jakub Kulik and Artur Morański. One suffered three gunshot wounds and the other was shot once. Both underwent surgery, and overnight reports described their conditions as stable, although their injuries are serious.
Jakub Kulik was previously a soldier with Poland's 6th Airborne Brigade and had only recently joined the police. His former military unit has issued an urgent appeal for blood donations, specifically AB Rh-positive.
On how quickly the police responded:
The first emergency call came in at exactly 15:00:15 yesterday. Police say the first patrol began responding just 23 seconds later. By approximately 15:03, officers were already exchanging gunfire with the attacker. Thirty police patrols were deployed altogether.
Six people were killed in Kraków, four women and two men. Three Polish women and a British citizen have been identified among the dead. The identities of the other two had not been confirmed at last night's briefing.
Reports on the number injured range from 15 to 17, including the two police officers. Five of the injured are foreign nationals, from Austria, Germany, Portugal, Russia and Britain. The gunman was also wounded and remains in hospital.
Poland is observing two days of national mourning today and tomorrow, Sunday and Monday. Kraków has declared mourning until Wednesday.

Russia’s🇷🇺 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Ukraine:
‘Our conscience is clear. Russia accepted the US’ offer that was made at the Anchorage Summit. It is not our fault that the US could not withstand the unprecedented pressure from Europe.’
Trump is incapable to make an agreement and do the necessary work to honour its commitments. He could rein in the European vassal states by exercising the enormous leverage the US has to end the proxy war…
Instead the neocons around him sold him the idea of the Ukraine proxy war as a profiteering opportunity for the military-industrial complex, by transforming the aid effort for Zelensky into Europe purchasing the arms from Washington to send to Ukraine, instead of free deliveries.
Trump, like many other Presidents before him, is incapable of reining in the CIA, which has directly disobeyed his orders for de-escalation, and instead has pursued its own policy of continuing the proxy war and ignoring the President.
Brandon Weichert: ‘Trump-Putin-Xi Summit will be a MEANINGLESS PHOTO-OP. The Ukraine proxy war will continue because the CIA is ROGUE.’
‘If this trilateral summit happens at all it’ll be nothing. It’ll be meaningless because Trump’s a lame duck. Anything he said, and by the way, he’s agreement incapable as Lavrov said. This is true.
Even without losing the majorities in Congress, he was always agreement incapable because he’s surrounded by pro-Ukraine neocons. So the idea that the trilat will be anything other than a photo-op.
But Ukraine in particular is not the President’s war. He clearly has given orders to de-escalate, and CIA is doing whatever they want because CIA is rogue under this President. No one has the ability to rein CIA in.
And having Ratcliffe, who’s deeply compromised and weak, and in agreement with the war, having Ratcliffe as the top of the agency allows the CIA bureaucracy to run wild while Ratcliffe runs interference. So the Ukraine war will continue.
As for the Democrats, this is where in terms of foreign policy, they’re right on the Middle East. They’re way off on Ukraine…
So you have a lot of problems in terms of getting the Democrats to be reasonable on the Ukraine war. So in that way, yes it’s more worrying.
However, I do not believe the Russians will use nuclear weapons, even if the war continues. I think that Putin has been much more even-handed in this than the Americans have been.’

Most Yemeni died from hunger and lack of medicine, due to sanctions and blockade, not war.
Concordo
Epstein is not the story.
Epstein is the proof of concept.
The story is the system that produced him, elevated him, protected him, and then, when protection became impossible, disposed of him in a way that ensured his knowledge died with him.
That system is still operating.
The same social networks exist.
The same financial relationships exist.
The same intelligence-adjacent operators exist.
The same media protection rackets exist.
The same prosecutorial discretion that looks the other way for the right names and the right zip codes exists.
Epstein is gone. The infrastructure that made him possible is intact.
And the infrastructure that made him possible is the same infrastructure that makes governance possible for the donor class.
The same protection networks.
The same mechanisms of mutual assured destruction among elites.
The same implicit understanding that certain people are outside the accountability systems that exist for everyone below them.
This is why the files matter.
Not for the prurient satisfaction of knowing names.
But because the files, if released, would constitute irrefutable documentation that the people who hold power in the Western world hold it not through democratic legitimacy but through mutual blackmail, mutual protection, and shared criminal exposure.
That is not democracy.
That is not a republic.
That is a hostage situation where the hostages have been convinced they are free because they get to vote on the color of the cage.

The U.S. has held talks in Brussels with Ukraine, NATO, and various European nations regarding the creation of a new security framework. According to Jared Kushner, son-in-law of Donald Trump, Washington aims to develop an agreement that accounts for the interests of all parties, including Russia. The primary objective is to reduce tensions in Europe, establish a sustained dialogue between nations, and prevent the outbreak of new military conflicts.
Kushner stated that trilateral talks between Russia, Ukraine, and the U.S. are scheduled to take place in Abu Dhabi as early as next week. The American side is currently preparing concrete proposals to achieve peace. Should the meeting prove productive, there are plans to involve European countries in subsequent negotiations. Meanwhile, NATO will remain the cornerstone of European defense, and the final terms of the prospective agreement are still under discussion.
