When I first started out as a journalist I thought it paid to have a background in US history when covering America. Then I thought it would probably be better to be a constitutional lawyer with expertise in jurisprudence. Now I think it would be useful to be a psychiatrist.

I am so tired of this classless, clueless embarrassment of a president.

Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, Greenland, Canada, and on and on and on. Lindsey Graham says they are “marching through the world.”
They don’t care how many US soldiers they get killed. Meanwhile, they’re building concentration camps at home for Americans to die in. What will it take for people to wake up?

Former Middle East adviser at the US Department of Defense, Jasmine El-Gamal, has it exactly right.

War, succession and the perilous test of two myths about Iran
America wagers on collapse; the regime on endurance
If the Islamic Republic hoped that war would produce a rally-round-the-flag effect, it may be disappointed. Still, there has so far been no sign of Iranians heeding Donald Trump’s call to rise up

Saudi Arabia and Israel—two countries for which there is bipartisan support in the U.S. despite the fact that in recent years, both have been accused of committing genocide by human rights organizations and experts.
This administration is committing true horrors—made possible by years of rot.

Wong said on Sunday morning that Iran must “cease its indiscriminate attacks against other countries in the region”.
She has never said the same thing about Israel who has been indiscriminately bombing neighbours for the last few years

Iran didn’t kill JFK, didn’t employ Epstein, didn’t attack the USS Liberty, didn’t tell us Iraq had WMDs, didn't commit the Gaza genocide
Israel did.

Is the young generation of Americans willing to support Israel and its belligerence? The old guard seems wedded until the end, but I think the past 2 years have brought on a seismic shift unseen in my lifetime, at least.
Curious to see the polling this week...

Gallego has been pretty clear eyed thus far, and this is among the best statements from any Dem. It recognizes that even if the U.S. aims for regime change to a western-friendly government, that is NOT the goal of Saudi and Israel. They want a failed state that they can pick the bones of.

When Israel and America claim that this war is God’s will, remember that Jesus said that peacemakers are the children of God, not the warmongers.

Israel bomb TWO SCHOOLS - murdering scores of children - and @mark-carney.bsky.social hasn't condemned these horrific war crimes.
Carney's statement - likely written by Tel Aviv - called IRAN, not ISRAEL - "the principal source of instability and terror throughout the Middle East".
PATHETIC
