Just to illustrate how petty the Georgian Dream regime is: Irakli Okruashvili is a former Defense Minister, and he also fought in the Battle of Kyiv; They jailed him first for non-cooperation with the Stalin-era “Parliamentaty Commission” that investigates anything pro-Western basically. 1/

From the very same paragraph in Orwell's essay: "England has got to be true to herself. She is not being true to herself while the refugees who have sought our shores are penned up in concentration camps, and company directors work out subtle schemes to dodge their Excess Profits Tax."

Don’t hire someone to write about things they are totally ignorant of “It’s worth considering how a former prime minister such as John Howard, Tony Abbott or Scott Morrison might have handled the situation from the time Israel’s bombing began” Holy f*ck. No it isn’t. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

This time yesterday, Iran had enriched uranium sufficient to make 10 nuclear weapons, if and when it decided to go down that route. Today, they are exactly in the same place, they have good reasons to move to weaponisation, and no one knows where that uranium is. Brilliant

By deciding to bomb Iran, Trump confirmed two facts about himself: 1) he scolds Ukraine about risking WWIII out of deep deference/sympathy for Ru, not out of caution; 2) his 2-week deadlines to Pu are a stalling tactic, again revealing deference/sympathy for Ru, not caution.

Welcome, American foreign policy scholars to the world of Russia experts in late 2021 and early 22, when so many people could not bring themselves to believe that a war would happen simply because it made no sense, there was no real threat, the President wasn't that crazy and didn't roll that way

A new justification for the war on Iran dropped today from the IDF: that Iran was aiming to produce 10k ballistic missiles "by the end of the decade". This only casts further doubts on the claim that Iran has been building nuclear weapons.

The interesting thing is that you find the same thing in modern studies of ancient history. Rome “liberates”, while Parthians/Sasanians “occupy”. Rome “attacks”, Sasanians “raid”. Rome pays “subsidies”, Sasanians pay “reparations”.
