Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley): President Biden accidentally referred to Putin’s war in “Iraq” when answering questions from the press, a year after former president George W Bush made the same gaffe. Both men played crucial roles in the push to invade Iraq.
At this point, I hope to wake up some day and read a headline stating: "Biden admits to being a war criminal, liar about our '$2,000 check', and confesses he never was going to forgive student loans as he promised on the campaign trail," given in one short speech while wearing his pajamas and bunny slippers at a press conference he accidentally wandered into thinking he was going to get a cup of warm milk and cookies. (The man is a menace and needs to be retired--not running for office again.)
How sad and disgraceful these two old nitwits are. Why don't they just go away and enjoy their applesauce at home and refrain from further polluting humanity. These two people are just fucking sick.
It is absolutely bizarre George W. Bush's snickering after he recognized what he said. Hahaha, the US and Russia are pretty much the same, or even implied that it was the US that was worse than Russia. It is funny, but the guy who did it should not be laughing.
Classic Freudian slip: not only got the country wrong, but the losers as well: there are no winners, but Ukrainians, and ordinary, now overburdened American taxpayers, are the losers.
This is how European colonialist (aka “westen liberal”) capitalism works. Bait or self manufacture divine or worldly excuses to exercise thuggery. Then control and exploit for profit. Or in worst are profit from selling weapons and ammo to a pointless and endless war. Ad infinitum.
Conferences on “the future of Ukraine” ie foreign private ownership of Ukraine’s resources, are being held everywhere including In the US and even Denmark and Norway, on how this death machine gets turned into profit. While the death machine is still grinding and not even at full speed yet!!
That’s why Anthony Blinken is determined to keep the death machibe rolling despite a ceasefire and peace being possible:
By the time the death machine is done, the adult prime age male population of Ukraine will already be decimated. Literally. Maybe more than decimated.
These are not national leaders or business leaders. They are ghouls in suits that go around turning everyone’s hopes and dreams into nightmares. Everywhere. Over and over.
It is their gung ho attitude that offends me as it did at the time of their obliteration of Iraq, if I remember rightly they called it 'Shock and Awe'. I remember watching the planes take off and feeling sick. They are both monsters. Thank you Caitlin.
I see the coining of the word "whataboutism" as a deliberate attempt to normalize hypocrisy. "Let's make those who calls us out look uncool. That'll shut 'em up!"
Don't take great-grandpa seriously when he starts rambling on. Hey, everybody gets old sooner or later. Let him enjoy his last years on Earth in peace. Well maybe others don't have peace, but that's different.
Seven Countries In Five Years: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix
9/21/2020 ...People often (correctly) cite General Wesley Clark’s famous “seven countries in five years” statement [ 'It's a, it's a five-year plan. We're going to take down seven countries in five years. We're going to start with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, then Libya, Somalia, Sudan, we're going to come back and get Iran in five years. I said, "Is that classified, that paper?" He said, "Yes Sir."] to show how evil the drivers of the US empire are, but I also like to use it to show what dumb, incompetent failmeisters they are. They really thought they’d be able to topple all those countries in five years. Nineteen years later and they’re still flailing. Don’t be intimidated by these assholes. ..
Yes, just as you note, these two decrepit representatives of the Imperial management, and their 'slips' , are perfectly emblematic of the state of that Empire. Desperately clinging to delusions of grandeur, projecting growing feebleness instead of the "Exceptionalism" they claim, gradually unable to suppress the truth of their collective evils as they loose control of their tongues. It could be the stuff of Shakespearean Theater, for any playwrights not too timid to speak the truth.

Keep in mind that Dubya, and certainly Biden, aren't really running things.

Well, I’ve been disgusted for years about the uneven law enforcement in America.

Biden is a joke on the American people from the Zionist Jews.

War Criminals gonna war criminal.
Prime Minister Modi of India recently visited the White House in DC.
Modi: President Biden, thank you for the lovely tour of your beautiful home.
Biden: It's the least we can do after stealing all your land.
Isn't Ukraine part of Iraq??
