My venture, A.N.T. Farms, develops practices in “conservation agriculture”—sustainable food production that doesn’t require forests to be razed or wetlands drained. I’ve worked in communications; media; tech, data & LLM analysis; and spent 15 yrs in DC.

This is yet another commonality between The Mobster of America and the Mobster of Russia--both thought they would be done with their little excursions and special operations in a few days. These guys must be forced to go away, or we will have no country left at all. Heck, we won't have a world.

There are sound reasons no other President pursued an open war with Iran, instead dealing with the country with more circumspection. These people...this guy...how utterly clueless, reckless, just fking stupid (pardon my language). "I'm surprised," he said. Seriously? Come on....seriously?

"Trump 'surprised' US allies in the Gulf have been targeted. When talking about Iran’s decision to target them, Trump said it was 'the biggest surprise I had of this whole thing.' via @theguardian.com Now, why would he be surprised? Nobody else outside his delusional sphere is.

100% AGREE with Simon Rosenberg "there are two areas that Dems must develop a clearer and louder voice on: Trump’s deeply dangerous selling out of Ukraine and Europe to Putin, and his turning of America into a police state. We simply can and must talk about more than affordability and health care."

When it comes down to it, the U.S. has to convince the world--the allies it needs--that it is fighting for something better than what China, Iran, North Korea, Russia et al are fighting for. I don't think the United States can plausibly make this case today.

Seriously, we've won every war without being lawless scumbags. Why start now? Stay on this path, and we'll be fighting MUCH larger wars in the near future--and we may not win those. Who's going to assist a criminal force fighting illegally for nothing & no one other than a handful of corrupt people?

There is a history of military service, officer service, in my family. I don't think any of my people would choose to serve in a military that can't be distinguished from something akin to the Janjeweed. Either the U.S. is better, or it's not. Perhaps "not" is where we are today. We're being shamed.

I've always thought that it is not capitalism per se that is hateful, rather those that practice it at the top who are--these who do not value the natural world or human society. Capitalism smooths the way for the most craven of human impulses to flourish, but it doesn't dictate them.
