"Scaring your “enemies” into thinking you might attack them is not, then, the ideal way to achieve security. For example, It was partly because the U.S. threatened to invade Cuba that the Soviet Union decided to put nuclear missiles there as a deterrent, which the U.S. interpreted as a threat, which sparked a tense confrontation that nearly led to global nuclear war. Ultimately, we are better off when we work together, trying to build trust, lower tensions, and keep arms races from getting out of control. An institution like the United Nations (which Karp claims, without providing any examples, is “basically a discriminatory institution against anything good”) has a crucial function in bringing countries together to ease the kinds of mutual suspicion that can spiral into a violent confrontation that nobody wants. Ultimately, Karp is in error to believe that the more heavily armed and capable of inspiring fear you are, the safer you are. In fact, while sometimes violence is unavoidable, the use of threats can have unpredictable consequences, and poisons your ability to work with others."

"If the Biden administration’s stance is that Israel is entitled to continue the war until it achieves its own self-defined objectives, what is the point of pretending that there can be a negotiated settlement?

The answer is public opinion. Very few Democrats approve of Israel’s conduct in Gaza, and a majority of Americans who voted for Biden want the United States to halt weapons transfers to Israel. Biden knows a policy that guarantees endless war is unpopular and would create further backlash. He has therefore hoped to satisfy both pro-Israel Democrats and critics of the war by continuing to transfer unlimited arms while also appearing to negotiate a peace deal. The diplomacy theater is an effort to convince the public that Biden’s hands are tied—that while he would like to end the war, he simply cannot, and the most powerful country in the world is powerless.

That narrative has been successful. Plenty of people who should know better have accepted at face value the Biden administration’s claim that it is trying to bring about peace."

"The #warmonger-ing #Zionists #genocide monster lost, which means the other #warmongering #Zionist genocide monster won.

Donald #Trump is still bought and owned by Adelson cash, which means we can expect him to be just as much of a groveling simp for #Israel as he was during his first term..."

The Evil Warmongering Zionist Won (No Not That One, The Other One!)

One of the factors revealed by the audit was issues within the brigade. The leadership allegedly separated the soldiers from the Right Sector and those who were transferred from other parts during the recent replenishment (they were referred to as "pixels", in reference to the pattern on the Ukrainian military uniform). The attitude toward the "pixels" was even worse; they were the first to be sent into combat, and their lack of experience made them lose territory.

The news site reported Wednesday that it randomly selected declarations for 2,200 officials to see how their fortunes had changed from 2022 to 2023.
It found that every sixth official had bought an apartment or house, and every third one a car. They purchased 721 cars, 268 apartments, and 90 new houses.
Meanwhile, even with the new asset purchases, the officials’ savings increased.

This general Ukrainian corruption continues to not surprise for more than 30 years here steal almost everything and everyone.
