Yes. Alexander Mercouris detailed this scenario awhile ago on his stream. He said then it would take time for Israel and the US to be isolated but it seems we’re working toward that time soon.

I appreciate Alexander but don't listen to him as much anymore because his videos are long, and I'm overwhelmed by all the other articles, videos and podcasts. My dream would be to have a news gathering team.

On the topic, of course he and other fighters of bullshit will say that. It's the truth. But let's never underestimate the unwillingness of an empire to fall quickly.

Let's hope this happens. Israel is getting more barbaric all the time. Dressing up like medical staff so they could get into a hospital and shoot patients? Come on! This has got to stop.

Unfortunately, the converse is that Palestinians have to suffer now for there to be a chance of Palestine later. Their deaths, amputations and tears are bricks for a nation.

I like him a lot. I find I can boost the playback speed a bit and hurry him up. He talks pretty slow.

Good idea. I need to do that for everyone. I began at 2am. Never enough time unless I walk away.

We in the USA can't fix our own problems, basically because we have no real influence on our political leaders. Wealthy lobbyists run our country, and they always will.

But how can we change it?

Br braver. Skip anonymity online, set a good example doing charity in your neighbourhood once per week, join a sane activism group on one topic for another day a week, and, if you have the cash, donate to other activists.

I know you're right.

I'm sure that all forms of skills will be useful soon enough. When and where I can help I will. 🤔

amazed that you found that paragraph in the LA progressive story - that's fantastic and needs to be highlighted in their story too - easy to miss - any insight anywhere if all the UN GA members are up on this, and considering this action? that would be something, eh?

Not hard at all, not a long article, and copying and pasting saved me writing it :)

Alternatively, finding an ambassador saying, “This makes Ukraine an enormous contributor to our security because they have the most experience in fighting the war that is coming” was a gem moment - https://mikehampton.substack.com/p/ukraine-war-propaganda-by-the-usas

No idea where UNGA stands. Haven't called them yet :)
