Juggling With Eggs
@JugglingWithEggs@mstdn.social  ·  activity timestamp 2 days ago

The BBC report #Trump as saying:

"I was not happy with the UK. I think they'll be involved maybe, but they should be involved enthusiastically."

‘Enthusiasm’ for an illegal war which has killed thousands already, polluted the skies over Tehran so badly that acid rain is falling causing chemical burns and damage to lungs. All for the sake of appeasing the genocidal maniac #Netanyahu and to have a go at grabbing a Middle Eastern oil state…no thank you.

"Jared Kushner, arched with the swagger of the world’s most confident mediocre man, walked into the most sensitive nuclear negotiation of the decade on behalf of the United States — representing governments that had paid him $157 million — carrying a pager given to him by the intelligence service of the country that wanted the war most, without a single technical expert,"

"and delivered a war so catastrophic and so convenient that it is impossible to explain as an accident. ...

The Hunter Biden story was mostly made up. Kushner’s corruption is so thorough and vast that America hasn’t even begun to reckon with what a disaster it is for everything this country once aimed to stand for."

"PIF, Kushner’s biggest client, invested $2 billion with Affinity Partners in 2021. According to the report, Kushner is also seeking additional funds from Qatar and the UAE.

Kushner reportedly tried to drum up new investments while at the World Economic Forum in Davos as part of the official Trump administration delegation."

"Kushner’s claim that he would not raise additional money during Trump’s presidency to avoid conflicts turned out to be a lie.

On Friday, the New York Times reported that Kushner 'has spoken with potential investors in recent weeks about raising $5 billion or more for Affinity Partners.' Kushner’s team has 'already met with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund [PIF].'”

Rituals for the Ones Who Still Feel Everything

On circles, soil, and practical courage
When an empire starts to crack, as it does now, it doesn’t suddenly become humbled and honest. It panics. It lies louder. It tightens control. It increases distractions. It tries to install fear in the body so we’ll obey without being asked. And the cruelty we’re seeing, this casual abandonment of truth and moral ground, doesn’t read as strength to me. It reads as a system that’s scared. A system that can feel its story failing.

In the 1920s an Italian #anarchist wrote about: The old age already dead - the new age not born, yet. This is the time for monsters.
That‘s where we are, right now.
The last century took 20 more years and 60million lives to proceed to a new age. We‘ll have to be real strong, if we have to walk a simular trail again. Appreciate your spreading #hope .

"While most combat operations have been undertaken by the US military, at considerable risk to US service members and costs borne by American taxpayers, the war was born, planned, and insisted upon by Israel, and its long-serving Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu."

"The President of the United States has engaged our country in a war for no discernible reason except distraction – and apparently because being at war can be cool and fun. Just like video games. ...

It’s all a game. It’s all a game. It’s all a game.

Until Game Over."

"One prominent rationale for the Israeli-American attack on Iran is to bomb the country into friendliness to the US and Israel. ...

The real goals of Trump’s war cannot be found in his strategic vision, which is overshadowed, if it even exists, by a pinwheeling embrace of postures that serve his vanity and his short-term political interests."

"The alliance between the United States and Israel endures because three forces reinforce one another: strategic necessity, political affinity, and domestic power. ...

Both the United States and Israel are profoundly unfree and racially riven societies."

"Why has this relationship endured with such extraordinary durability for so long?

To answer that question requires looking beyond the ceremonial language of democracy and shared values that usually defines the alliance. It requires examining the historical forces that made the partnership possible—and the political structures that continue to sustain it."

"For generations the alliance between the United States and Israel has been treated in Washington as something close to unquestionable—an assumption embedded so deeply in American strategic thinking that it often appears less like a policy choice than a permanent feature of the geopolitical landscape.

Which raises a deeper question."

“I assure everyone that we will not refrain from avenging the blood of your martyrs. The retaliation we have in mind is not limited only to the martyrdom of the great leader of the Revolution; rather, every member of the nation who is martyred by the enemy constitutes a separate case in the file of revenge,” #MojtabaKhamenei said.

"Iran has so far achieved its two most important strategic objectives. The regime has passed its first continuity test, transferring power from one supreme leader to the next. And it has closed the strait, setting in motion a cascade of economic consequences which will sap America’s political will to continue fighting."
