NATO crews firing missiles into Russia. World War Three has already begun.

I figure the USA is bribing Zelensky and Co. to continue the war.

Expand full comment

The US media has, as we now know, covered jo the opposite actually. Biden family was bribed by Ukrainian oligarchs, such as the owner of Buriana, to stoke this war. Zelensky is a puppet of said oligarch.

>>"Why isn't the International Criminal Court doing anything about this shit?!?"

Because the ICC is controlled by Western powers, just like the ICJ, UN, WTO, World Bank, IMF, and many other "international" agencies/organizations.

Well, they need to wake up & stop allowing it! How in the hell does the highest court in the world allows corrupt western countries to control them? It doesn't make sense!

Expand full comment

Not disagreeing, but the “highest court in the world” is the ICJ, not the ICC. The ICJ has made several important rulings on this, two so far this year, but the enforcement is in the hands of the USA in the Security Council, where we all can see what happens to anything that might be critical of Israel.

What don't you understand? Are you still under the illusion that the US Empire is not the Global Hegemon? Do you still believe in children's fairy tales about there being true justice in this world?

The Highest Court (and all the organizations mentioned) are controlled and serve the interests of the US Empire and Western powers.

How much clearer can I be? The question of "waking up" does not arise.

Expand full comment

Chang, I thought by now it should be obvious to many of us the reality of the US empire's global Hegemony, which together with western powers controls all international organisations and rides over international law. Its 900 and more military bases all over the world holds the rest of the world in a stranglehold. Its vassals are granted the impunity to even commit genocide as we are witnessing with Israel. US/NATO/Ukraine are expanding the war into Russia. Its economic imperialism through the World Bank and IMF holds Global sSouth countries in forever debt.

There's more to wake up to - I don't have any doubt.

Because Israel is above the law. Compliments of an evil superpower that talks democracy and walks a policy of total spectrum death. Agents of a foreign power, who do not register, totally control US foreign policy, endangering every American. Dragging us into wars while they pay people to study the Torah, have sex all day, and loaf. Hmmm. Throw in free college and healthcare. What else can we do for you oh great Israel? Where was the IDF during Operation Fake Yellow Cake? Afghanistan? Libya? Iraq? Nowhere. Do you think for one second that they will participate in a war with Iran? Our boys, like the boys of the USS Liberty, will die for Zionism. It's like an office romance. You are screwing your coworker and HR gives you 6 months off. The boss is screwing sheep in his office on company time, and he gets promoted. How do you feel?

Unfortunately not. Israel is not just a "cause", but also a "symptom" of the systems we have in place. Imperialism, colonialism, capitalism, etc. will not simply end if/when Israel ceases to exist.

I think that talk of WW-III is overblown. Such a war would be fought on the European continent. It's hard to imagine any European nation in the NATO alliance (not to mention the United States) that would want to have Russian missiles raining down on their cities. The truth is that NATO is a military paper tiger. It is no match for Russia, as is being demonstrated in the Ukraine proxy war. Even with the United States' direct involvement, it would be no contest. The big hooker, of course, is the possibility of a nuclear confrontation in which there are no winners, only losers. Hence, smart leaders would avoid WW-III at all costs. Are the NATO leaders smart? That is the big question.

Robert. I couldn't agree more BUT can you tell me please: Why it is that Americans don't think!

I realise that the USA would like to send Europe into WW3 having started a war on European soil. Are the US expecting to 'save us again?

They don't want us to share news about what's happening in Palestine with each other. They'd rather keep us all in the dark and at each other's throats debating the facts. We can't let them divide and conquer us. We must press on no matter how high the personal cost. #FreePalestine

“They'd rather keep us all in the dark” Given how successful they have been at that, I can understand why this current situation is so difficult for them. They seem desperate to put us all back to sleep. May it be that, once awakened, we will not sleep that misguided sleep again.

I am not so optimistic...I fear the forces of greed and evil and willful ignorance will defeat (have defeated?) "the good," and the best I can do in my waning days of my life is to savor the natural beauty around me. But the course, from some accounts, is set: Tipping points guarantee the eventual death of earth life via climate change - the result of human greed and entitlement run amok.

I share your pessimism. Climate change is already happening sooner than even the most conservative scientists predicted, and as the ecosystem deteriorates in the next number of decades, economic strife followed by conflict over resources will continue to increase. And given the lack of collaboration and cooperation currently in the world, especially here in the US, where narcissism is equated with moral uprightness - I don't see the world avoiding the consequences of the catastrophe of a failing "Mother Earth" ecosystem.

But then again, I too am approaching the sunset of my life, and as an individual, wonder what any of it was about, and will there be anything more? To quote ED: "Parting is all we know of heaven, And all we need of hell."

The only group that believes in 'ethnic cleansing' right now are Israeli Jews and Western Zionists. They believe in the ethnic cleansing of all Palestinians. The price for any of them challenging that unquestionable truth should be genital mutilation and the wiping out of their bloodline.

Anyone committing ethnic cleansing has long since abrogated the right to a fair trial. They after all unilaterally removed that right from every single Palestinian.

In fact, there is not a single human right left which jewish/Zionist ethnic cleansers should retain.

Why is this nonsensical 'antisemitism' agenda being controlled by the ethnic cleansers, after all? The antisemites are those ethnically cleansing Palestinians, who are all Semites. None of the Zionists with Eastern European routes have a semblance of semitic DNA in their bodies.

They are amoral, ungodly mass murderers who long ago lost the right to pass judgement on anything but their own immorality, inhumanity and eternal stain on humanity.

I agree. If we as human beings, do not draw a moral red line at genocide, then what morality can be possibly left? We become no better than savage brutes, and human life becomes valueless and soulless.

Nothing is left. The realization, this is all smoke and mirrors, we do not actually have a functioning govt, it is all pretend , made me think of frank zappa comment. The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion.

"Israel has ramped up its assault on the West Bank with an incursion the likes of which has not been seen since 2002, at the same time we learn that the Biden administration has been scrambling to increase its weapons shipments to Israel. Haaretz reports that August has been the second-busiest month for weapons shipments from the US to Israel’s Nevatim Airbase, second only to October 2023."

>>"So can we finally drop the comforting lies about Israeli collapse?"

The geopolitics is far more complex. Literally no one knows how this will unfold (though many think they do).

People attempt to look for patterns and similar scenarios from history to hypothesize and correlate its applicability to the Middle-East crisis as one way of piecing together the disparate narratives into a coherent high-probability outlook.

There are signs (under the surface) of events that may percolate and produce something that is more than the sum of its parts, but currently many are just data points subject to variable interpretations and theories.

Like the Titanic, the empire is sailing at full speed among the icebergs of a species in search of its soul. Many of us know and feel an urgency, a malaise, but the captain is still listening to the ship's true commanders .......... the empire. No one knows when one of the icebergs will be struck, but with so many sightings, a collision is inevitable,. The only variable --- time.

Does it matter that Palestinian children in Gaza, soon WestBank, are being slaughtered by explosives made thousands of miles from their home, sent and delivered by people who have a right to defend themselves? How do children defend themselves against 2,000 pound bombs? If only they knew that their life depends on the rest of us, they might try to find answers elsewhere since we adults keep finding reasons why members of the species seem unable to avoid events which precipitate their early burial under humanity's debacles.

Sorry if the above sounds bleak, but will there ever be passengers on this planet full of fools who are aware that existential alarms should be blaring from every roof top.?

A book I read and still have from years ago was Dr. Victor Frankle’s Man’s Search For Meaning. In the book he tells the story of a young woman who’s dying and tells him the tree outside her window is talking to her. He said he was alarmed she might have become psychotic and asked what the tree said. She answered — It says I am life - I am life - I am eternal life. I’ve always thought that was a beautiful story.

Great book. Quick read too. It's interesting how even in the most hellish of situations, people still manage to find hope of some kind. There is something to the human spirit that remains profound (at least to me). And I refuse to accept Bonaparte's pronouncement that the "heart is one of the entrails, that it is the pit of the stomach that moves the world". Even in the midst horrors such as Gaza and Auschwitz. Even now.

Oh that all would agree with you and sanity prevail. I walk each morning with my friend, a Belgian Shepherd. We hear the birds squabbling about who will have the best perches for the day. We marvel at the colours of sunrises that all are works of art and we feel the wind, me at times with a shiver, Lennie with hair blowing beautifully, like waves along his back and the feathering on his legs.

There is so much more to express for, as you say, there is an abundance of profound beauty in our world - such contrast in nature and untainted environment with the destruction driven by dysfunctional human beings, immune from all that is wonder, blinded by egos that have ravished their ability to see or appreciate true worth in life.

Why? - For delusions of self grandeur and imagined earthly omnipotence, as large as Everest and as fragile as tissue, displayed through greed, excess and artificial opulence that can disappear in an instant.

Joy or despair, your are right, is the choice we have but as long as we have demagogues and despots, do we have the choice to make it?
