Yesterday at the Atlantic Councils Global Citizens Awards affair European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in her speech insinuated it was Russia that dropped those atomic bombs on Japan August, 1945. She also made no mention of the US in her speech-which we all know was the actual perpetrator to that horror.
SHARE Friday, September 1, 2023 "We're getting our monies worth"
Delusion seems to reign in the US Senate if Senator Richard Blumenthal D-CT is an example of its current makeup. He wrote in the Connecticut Post 8/28/23, "Ukraine is at the tip of the spear, fighting for independence & freedom". The US is "getting our monies worth w/out diversion or misappropriation of American aid". He forgot Ukraine is a corrupt country w/ $millions of military hardware stolen & sold on the black market.
SHARE Saturday, August 12, 2023 Biden this week referred to China's leaders as "bad folks" who do :bad things", not exactly a call to improve relations
At a fundraiser this week in Utah President Biden called Chinese President Xi Jinping's government as being in "trouble". That Beijing's economy was a "ticking time bomb". Biden said, "They got some problems. That's not good because when bad folks have problems, they do bad things". How Biden's comments on China are intended to improve relations w/ that country is simply baffling.

Ukraine has started to use cluster munitions targeting a region in Russia. Early this month the US authorized the delivery of these weapons to Ukraine. Earlier this week Ukraine sent a drone strike targeting the Crimean Bridge damaging a section of the roadway. Maybe the Ukrainian's have changed tactics as its counter-offensive has stalled and decided to attack Russian regions with longer range munitions.

SHARE Friday, June 23, 2023 Absolute hypocrisy on the part of "official" Washington
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken after robust discussions w/ Chinese President Xi Jingping wants Beijing to press N. Korea to engage in dialogue and end its dangerous behavior. The question is which country allied with Washington could get it to engage in dialogue and end its dangerous behavior?
SHARE Monday, June 12, 2023 NATO just started its largest air force exercises in its history
Apparently NATO has started the largest air force exercises in its history. They're being held in Germany, Netherlands & Czech Republic. The focus is to optimize & expand cooperation between its members w/ plans to model a NATO Article 5. This clause lies @ the heart of the bloc where an attack on one would constitute an attack on all of them.

It appears the long awaited Ukrainian counteroffensive against Russian forces in the country has begun. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense "owing to air strikes & artillery fire the Ukrainian forces incurred significant losses." The Ukrainian General Staff provided no comment only there'd been 29 combat clashes in the Donetsk & Lugansk regions in the last 24 hours. They accused Russia of spreading false information.
SHARE Wednesday, May 31, 2023 F-35 fighter jet program comes under harsh review in latest GAO report
The Government Accounting Office latest report released yesterday indicated "the F-35 program continues to experience schedule delays, cost growth, & late deliveries" despite each plane costing "some $80 million and beset by numerous issues". Despite the GAO report the Defense Department has installations in all 50 states providing jobs and no politico in those states is going to be critical of the DOD.

.A sort of madness seems to have taken hold in this country. It's in the form of indignation, resentment of a sort by people. Many (most?) are indignant over what they perceive as lies by their government and the main stream media. They simply don't trust what they're being told in the pronouncements made by the government and the MSM .
SHARE Tuesday, May 2, 2023 In America it's profit over people
In America it's profit over people. Profit over people is standard operation procedure in just about every significant industry in America. The reality today it's a government of the big moneyed interests, by those interests and for those interests. Certainly not a government of, by and for the people.
SHARE Friday, April 28, 2023 Yesterday two US military Apache helicopters crashed in Alaska during a training session. Another crashed in February
Yesterday two US military Apache helicopters crashed in Alaska during a training session. Another Apache also crashed in Alaska in February. In March two Blackhawk military copters collided near Ft. Campbell, KY killing 9 soldiers. Why are these military helicopter mishaps occurring during training sessions? These are hardly missions in a war zone much less in war games.
SHARE Tuesday, April 25, 2023 President Biden in a video this morning announced his intention to run again in 2024
President Biden in a video this morning announced his intention to run again in 2024. Former President Trump had earlier made it known he would run again. In polls the American voters don't want either man to run. Despite the voters' wishes the presidency will likely go to an octogenarian or a criminal type who thus far has been able to outlast the courts convicting him.

According to Politico, some "US Republicans are increasingly warming to the idea of waging war against Mexico's powerful drug cartels" with a bill introduced in the House for Authorization the Use of Military Force (AUMF). Are these Republicans really pushing for a war with Mexico?

The US military is having difficulty meeting its recruiting goals so it's easing those struggles by allowing obese people previously ineligible to enlist. Yet US Air Force Recruiting spokeswoman Leslie Brown stated, "I can't stress enough, we're not lowering our standards". How can an official recruiting spokeswoman go on record completely contradicting the new recruiting standards by saying we're not lowering our standards?

As we know Trump was indicted yesterday by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg. We're in uncharted waters here as no president or former president has ever been indicted. Trump is currently living in Florida but is supposed to appear Tuesday in New York to face charges against him. We'll have to wait and see what happens. Trump has asked his followers to protest this indictment. It remains to be seen what actions they may take.
SHARE Monday, March 20, 2023 20 years ago today George W. Bush invaded Iraq never receiving UN Security Council approval making it an illegal act
On this date 20 years ago US Pres. George W. Bush illegally invaded Iraq based on the premise Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein had WMD's & was in league w/ terrorists. Yet Iraq had no WMD's all destroyed by UN inspectors in the 1990's. As for Saddam in league w/ terrorists he & they were mortal enemies. Also Bush never received UN Security Council authorization making the invasion an act of aggression.

There was a time sanctions, embargoes, provocations, war games inevitably led to war among the belligerents. That was before the advent of nuclear weapons. The world could survive such a catastrophe. That is no longer the case particularly if nuclear weapons superpowers engage in a war and a countries very existence is threatened.

The New York Times quoting anonymous US officials told the paper, "Unspecified intelligence suggests a pro-Ukrainian group sabotaged the Nord Stream pipelines in Sept. 2022 & no American or British nationals were involved. Yet Pres. Biden last Feb. said, "If Russia attacks Ukraine there will no longer be a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it. I promise you we'll be able to do it". That's pretty explicit w/no ambiguity.
