📌💔🇺🇸In the long drive back from My Lai Village to Da Nang last summer, I not only reflected on the lessons of that tragically decimated village, but also the larger foolishness of the United States in its Vietnam war strategy. Little did I know that within a year, the United States would…

🆘📌If you think The Convicted Felon would not easily sellout ally South Korea to North Korea, would not sellout ally Japan to Russia or China, would not sellout ally Taiwan to China, (over business deals or mere flattery) indeed, you have another think coming.

In the past, when the FBI or other law enforcement agencies solved difficult cases, they presented the facts professionally and cooly without excessive self-praise or aggrandizement. The current self-serving, arrogant behavior and blaming others is disgusting to listen to. What a crew of narcissists

(Auschwitz Konzentrationslager Visit: 40 years ago this week…) 今からちょうど四十年前のこの週、私はポーランドのアウシュヴィッツへと赴きました。 その場所は「暗く、悪魔的である」という表現以外に見つからず、そこで七時間にわたり、調査、歩行、そして瞑想に耽りました。その経験は、私の心を凍らせるほど重いものでした。 特に私を苦しめたのは、人類の歴史における痛ましい問いです。民主主義の下にあった人々でさえ、なぜ恐ろしい人物に権力を委ね、その人物がいかに社会を最も忌まわしい深淵へと引きずり込んでいくのか。…/⤵️

Sources see a pattern where DHS and ICE recruitment ads primarily feature white individuals and sometimes use imagery linked to white nationalist themes, while enforcement-related social media posts frequently showcase individuals identified as Black/Brown in connection with arrests and detention.

One big lie, and grandiose promise after another… Eight years ago when he stated he had “solved” the North Korean nuclear problem and deserved a Nobel… And now they’ve waved him off and stated that giving up nukes is the biggest joke, that they have no intent to do so: youtu.be/trRJVf2YYgM

If dangling the prospect of a Nobel in front of Trump, his obsession—over the end of the Ukraine war—energizes him to fully arm Ukraine to the max so that they damage Russia greatly, recover big territory, push 🇷🇺 out of the country and do achieve peace…Then so be it… Let him have his damn award.
