Yes.

Me too.

The US has long been a kleptocracy and I’ve been saying so for decades; it’s just so blatant now that people are beginning to see. Further, these ambitions didn’t start with the current president, nor is it a solely Republican agenda.

This article is extremely flawed.

I guessed so, but I was trying not to jump to conclusions. 😔

Thanks for your reply.

“I think that there is clearly a risk that that will take much more time.” Cardon added that it could take days or weeks and that there was a possibility they were never found.

Because of the massive bombing by Israel?

Was this not known in negotiations? I can guess but I’d prefer to ask.

Title is the point, I’d wager.

the good news is that we have 3 more years for that reality to come to pass and Trumps bad optics (the only thing that actually bothers americans) are bringing the future’s inevitability to today’s doorstep.

Optimist, are you? ♥️

It’s raining, this is a very long, very absorbing article, and…it keeps disappearing, asking me to reload the page, resulting in scrolling to find my place again. I’m just to the point of Bobby Kennedy’s cowardly, tepid call for Jeremy’s release, and regret I am going to try again, later.

Everyone who sees this should read it.

I’m sure Pakistan, purely of their own volition, decided to launch an attack on Afghanistan…

very visible warning sign for other countries to hopefully not follow the US into such craziness.

I have bad news for you…

And it’s really not the point I was making, either.

Freedom fries? If you’re not with us, you’re against us? Axis of evil? He wasn’t as crude but it was bad.

I think if people weren’t so self-absorbed, this point in time would be different. And it will get worse, not because people are powerless, but because they’re more self-absorbed than ever.

That this reaction didn’t happen during any Bush or Reagan administration is stunning.

I know, I’ve been watching. Not like a hawk but enough to keep my reality and expectations in check. I hope.

They’re upscaling the hasbara or whatever they call it now

I think they were referring to dehydration but yeah, cholera probably isn’t good for anyone.

Look out, AES.

I keep saying the reason they don’t want to release is natsec…

“Gaza will be governed under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee, responsible for delivering the day-to-day running of public services and municipalities for the people in Gaza,” the White House said. A “Board of Peace” chaired by Trump, which will include former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, will have “oversight and supervision” of the Palestinian committee. The plan says the Palestinian Authority will eventually take over Gaza once it has “completed its reform programme”.

Did anyone ask Palestinians if they accept?!
