12:19 p.m.
I must stay quiet. Grin.
I come into the apartment and straight into the bathroom to wash my hands. Staring in the mirror, grinning, looking at my giggly, funny, shaved face. Something is different. Still grinning. Pain dropped. Thank you, Lord, for these functional white teeth too. Happy, funny, just thoughts. Observable Silliness, really.
Then, there were a few other thoughts, slightly more complex, that suddenly crossed my mind, but I don't want to mention them yet or discuss these yet. Or should I?
I was tempted to ask her the questions, though, which, I know would hurt feelings and start another row or perhaps a heated discussion... with more hurt feelings, even though the subject matter is absolutely right on and true.
Eg. how can I live in this place freely; I don't restrict any other Being in any way; why haven't they paid me out; why are they causing me existential anxiety; why are they allowed to do so much damage and for so long; why do organizations as legal entities take precedence over human lives;)
"Put gear. Oh," (since I was dictating, I tried to speak in Portuguese to record all of this and it didn't work.)
"That did not go through exactly as I intended. " I thought.
Also, because she asked me not to be named, I'll refer to her as Baby. Wink. Grin.
So, back to the story... "as I'm brushing my teeth, making insightful noises of 'oooh' and 'aaah', as insightful thoughts come and go..."
Baby, asks me, "what are you humming about?" (I know Baby asked me because she probably knew I wanted to say something but held back.) I didn't take the bait. I stayed quiet. 'Hmm. Ah... Aha!'
More thoughts: Why are there silly conditions on love; why are there conditions on simply acting freely, or even within and across societies, even internationally; why do I feel ashamed at times, and feel alone and abstract, having to secretively walk behind stores, through those empty parking lots; why is there much negative stigma attached to these medical issues... Well, the choice is Yours, alone. You are the driver of your own Being and conduct)
I finished brushing my teeth. And then, gargling.
I still said nothing, popping my head through the doorway and into the room for a quick glance at Baby with her innocent glare.
Unable to hold back, I ask the question:
Is this all a joke? Why am I... Why are we all being subjected to living like this?
What an incredibly stupid Reality!
Really... Who is inventing and conjuring this kind of insane storyline?
What kind of thought madness is this???
We have a human consciousness, a prerogative, above any and all groups of people, representing society, that supercedes all of these ridiculous stories.
What kind of mental monstrosity creates these scenarios???
There's something deeply wrong in this apparent flow.
This is not the state of Phenomena that I wish to witness. Not what any of us should observe. Or, Be in attachment.
I Am.
Free and autonomous.
I want different. Definitely not this.
Think better thoughts.
Recreate this flow of Phenomena!
Include improved Loving Kindness and Compassionate Resonant Scenarios.
The prime directive is the success and viability of all life on Earth.
We're missing the mark.
This current program simulation is malfunctioning, incorrect. Mentality gone astray.
Implement correction quickly. Fix asap.
Fix, happens now!
I am. now, divergent in Purpose. No longer responsible... for the mess that you insist to continue to create.
This egoic story has stopped today. There is better.
Now, there is no other option, but better.
Finito. I want out. First, I would like my flight down South, please. Back to quietude. Nature. Simplicity.
Leave this ridiculous demeaning existence, here. I can't believe it! Childlike game of pluses and minuses you have created.
I'm appalled so much time has been wasted away as many beautiful souls, unconsciously still asleep, dying for a better dream.
I've outgrown the sandbox guys and gals, and I have to leave you now, heading towards another tomorrow.
We, including me, are at fault, for this, sadly. We allowed this to happen. Turned a blind eye and swept it all under the rug. Don't tell anyone. Though it is still all in our own home. Don't look or you will find it.
These filthy conjured thoughts and ideas, sad manifestations of creations, transparently apparent, are grossly incorrect.
I don't want this incorrect play or scene anymore.
I choose Peace and well-being.
There is a much better scenarios to create.
Allow me back to my hammock and the beach and the purity of the Sun. Allow me my freedom of Being, please.
Here, there are insane manifestations... Craziness. Killing. Restricting. Violating. Fighting. Antagonizing. Unjustly and dishonorably. Under the guise of discharge for the people but really not so. Heavy, Sad.
Let's spur the economy. Let's regulate. Let's control runaway inflation. Let's stand for Ukraine. Evil China and their quest for global dominance. Evil Russian oligarch, gone sick, egoically mad. Let's watch the destruction from the other side of the pond. Ooh, Obliteration. In shock, our scared leaders just continue to watch on! Here, Mr Z, please have another antitank missile with your tea. Show that Disgusting Monster, show the world of your strength! And, Die with Honor and waste this Life. Bon chance, mon ami.
Let's tell women that she has no say in her reproductive, biological role, and, definitely no control of her own body. It must be a tasteless tangential game in illusory form. Autonomy of Being always supercedes Legal buffoonery. With full respect to your office, your Honor Supreme, wake up, 'cause that's not fresh coffee you're sniffing.
Let's control Environmental Protection Agency, of course, always for the people's protection, benefit and wellbeing. Wink, wink. Yes, they all must also be regulated and under control. More to manifest.
Let's endorse big business and it's ties to deforestation, on an unimaginable, an unfathomable scale. Proven via satellite imagery. Hey, Jair, wink, wink. Presidential elections, huh? Boa bicho, vai nessa mesmo, né? However, alternatively, the historic chief thief, Lula, and his cast of masked bandits, lurkingly await another incredulous opportunity to grab at the voiceless, muted citizen's purse strings. (Ooh, apparently another repeat saga brewing.)
Let's support global commercialization. Let's restart the coal plants in Germany too as a counter solution to the off position of Russian gas taps (and don't worry, the carbon footprints either, for will be regulated and so will the effects on environment...)
Let's create more and more plastic layers. So thick, we can use them as new lenses to colorfully obscure our view of the damage to our only home, planet Earth, and its fragile, off balance, environment. While were at it... Let's assimilate plastics into our organic tissues, and hooray, pass it onto our unborn voiceless children. Prick 'em with that vaccine too, while they're small as they come out into the open! They'll never see it coming. It's for their protection anyway and that of this herd. "Aaaahhhh! Meehhhh! Baaaaahh!" they say, unicellularly.
Let's create more economic incentives and development because planet Earth just could not exist without the coordinated economic efforts of central banks. Did I say banks? Oh, I meant humans... Wink wink.
Destroy and abuse our planet.
Our Oceans.
Our Air.
Our Earth.
Reconfigure and change our Homes and Lives.
Destroy and abuse our entire Humanity.
Do you care? Do you really care? Do you? Does any of this matter to you?
This charade is not acceptable any longer.
Not to me, not to many.
Justin, Chrystia, Melanie, Joe, Antonio, Boris, Ursula, Vladimir, Emmanuel, Kristalina, Xi (yes, you too), Narendra, Olaf, Mohammed, Mohammad, Bill, Melinda, Richard, Elon, Jeff, Warren, Christiane, Albert, Jens, Elizabeth, Charles, Will, Harry, Naruhito, Mario and Sergio, Marcelo e Pedro, Graça, Hina, Mary, Gro Harlem, Ricardo, Ernesto, Ban, Ellen, Juan Manuel and Zeid. Many others intended...
Honourable, respected, representatives and leaders of the world,
I call upon you, by legal name, as conscious co-creating human beings, with choice and power in our collective...
The current scenario is very poor.
We need a new Reality.
Happy Canada Day. 🇨🇦🥂👏
(Only 155 years young!)

Four, because no one is really paying attention to what is happening in Iran and what the government is doing to its people. And it has nothing to do with wearing or not wearing hijab.
Countries where Iran’s regime currently pays paramilitary groups to act against people and democracy.
Moz Crithagra is the mastermind of the Midwinter Coup, an event which nearly led her country to ruin. With the stated goal of responsible stewardship “of birds, by birds, and for birds,” Crigathra’s reign was marked by mass executions of ideological opposition and pogroms of humans unseen since the rule of Jacobin Cuckoos. She is currently serving several hundred life sentences (both concurrent and consecutive) and is ineligible for parole at Hua Mei Ornithopenitentiary.

Gannets are on the move in the wake of #Brexit and they appear to be congregating in Scotland and Quebec, areas well-known for their independence movements. While this might otherwise be dismissed as breeding migration, their nesting season was months ago and so they should be out to sea. I’ve lost contact with our satellite offices but I can only imagine this is a portent of action, so please stay safe out there.

If you say "Fuck x country/state" as a response to actions of the governors of this country/state, but then phrase your argument in a way that directs your anger towards everyone who happen to live there, you need to reevaluate some things. Especially considering how many of those countries/states either use some level of voter suppression to keep their governors in power, or are just STRAIGHT UP DICTATORSHIPS (that also often control any and all information that their citizens are allowed to be exposed to).
The cardinal sin of geopolitics is conflating a government with its citizens.
wildest thing about the Sino-Soviet Split to me is that period in the 60s where the Soviet Union and PRC could only interact through written essay format. can't believe they predicted modern online leftist discourse
I was tagging that last post and Tumblr's tag suggester tried to correct "#we know the devil" to "#west korea". Either my knowledge of geopolitics is even worse than I thought, or the algorithm is trying to draw me into political discourse from parallel universes.
My reaction to Taylor Swift's 'The Great War' as a political science student: "Oh my god, it's totally in the perspective of the nation addressing the sovereign state, and about the abuses suffered by the nation at the hands of the state."
My family is still staying in half of the church that wasn’t affected by the bombing because there is nowhere else to stay other than tents. They are limited to one small meal a day and one shower a week. They are sleeping on the floors, but no one can sleep since there is bombing everywhere around them. Even when there is no bombing, they can still hear the loud buzzing sound of the military planes above them, which would keep anyone who hears it awake. Along with everything, My grandma has diabetes and osteoporosis, so she can’t walk. She has to take her insulin medication along with many others; however, she has run out of many of her medications.” Am on my knees requesting for donation. Target $450
I am so sorry, those conditions are absolutely horrid. I hope you and your family can stay as safe as you can.

[ 📹 A number of children are brought in to a hospital in Gaza after an Israeli drone bombed the children on the roof of their home in the Al-Bureij Refugee Camp, in the central Gaza Strip on Saturday. 📈 The current death toll in the Gaza genocide now exceeds 38'919 Palestinians killed, while another 89'622 others have been wounded since October 7th. ]
🇮🇱⚔️🇵🇸 🚀🏘️💥🚑 🚨
GAZA GENOCIDE DAY 288: ISRAELI OCCUPATION PRIME MINISTER BLOCKING NEGOTIATIONS WITH HAMAS, WHITE HOUSE CONSIDERING SANCTIONS AGAINST BEN-GVIR AND SMOTRICH AS ICJ ACCUSES ISRAELI OCCUPATION OF VIOLATING INTERNATIONAL LAW, GENOCIDE CONTINUES UNABATED AS MASSACRES OF CIVILIANS ESCALATE
On 288th day of the Israeli occupation's ongoing special genocide operation in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) committed a total of 4 new massacres of Palestinian families, resulting in the deaths of no less than 37 Palestinian civilians, mostly women and children, while another 54 others were wounded over the previous 24-hours.
It should be noted that as a result of the constant Israeli bombardment of Gaza's healthcare system, infrastructure, residential and commercial buildings, local paramedic and civil defense crews are unable to recover countless hundreds, even thousands of victims who remain trapped under the rubble, or whose bodies remain strewn across the streets of Gaza.
This leaves the official death toll vastly undercounted as Gaza's healthcare officials are unable to accurately tally those killed and maimed in this genocide, which must be kept in mind when considering the scale of the mass murder.
The Zionist Prime Minister of the Israeli occupation, Benjamin Netanyahu, refuses to authorize his negotiating team's return to Doha, Qatar, to resume negotiations with the Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas, in order to finalize a ceasefire and hostage exchange deal that could lead to an end to the genocide in the Gaza Strip.
Reporting also stated that Netanyahu is hesitant to ratify any deal prior to his planned trip to the United States, where the Prime Minister is scheduled to give a speech on July 24th to the American Congress, and will meet with US President Joe Biden.
This comes as pressure builds on Netanyahu to sign a deal with the Hamas resistance movement, which has resulted from increasing diplomatic isolation for the Zionist entity, while dozens of families of Israeli hostages being held in Gaza continue to demand the Prime Minister ink a deal to return their family members as quickly as possible.
The families, along with other groups of Israeli activists, have organized regular popular protests in Tel Aviv and elsewhere, demanding the Netanyahu regime reach an agreement for a ceasefire and hostage exchange deal, while Netanyahu has accused the Israeli security establishment of imposing the US President's proposal on his government.
In a meeting Netanyahu called on Friday, the IOF Chief of Staff, Herzi Halevi, demanded that he sign an agreement for a hostage exchange deal, after which, the Prime Minister ended the meeting.
Earlier last week, the Israeli Prime Minister said in a press conference that "for months there has been no progress (in hammering out an agreement in Gaza), because the military pressure was not strong enough."
In response, Halevi demanded Netanyahu apologize for his comments during a security conference attended by the heads of the Shin Bet security services and the Mossad intelligence agency, telling the Prime Minister that "These statements are serious. I demand that the prime minister issue an apology."
In other news on Saturday, US President Joe Biden's White House are considering issueing sanctions against National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, two openly fascist Israeli cabinet ministers, during a meeting of the National Security Council on Wednesday covering how to respond to Israeli attacks on the occupied West Bank of Palestine, and the deteriorating situation there.
Israeli colonial settlers have regularly attacked Palestinian communities in the West Bank, largely sanctioned by the Israeli government and backed by the Israeli occupation army, while the government has continued a policy of expansion of illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank, while holding up the tax revenues belonging to the Palestinian Authority.
According to reporting in the American media outlet Axios, the Biden administration is "deeply frustrated" with the Netanyahu regime's continued policy of settlement expansion and the weakening of the Palestinian Authority, noting that the more extremist members of Netanyahu's coalition have openly allied themselves with fascist colonial settler groups and militias.
Axios says the meeting was called after yet another surge in violence by Zionist colonial settlers against Palestinian communities, while the Netanyahu government has announced plans to build another 5'000 housing units for Zionist settlers and to legalize five illegal outposts.
On Friday, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) at The Hague determined the Israeli occupation's practices and policies "violate International law" and that the occupation is violating Palestinians right to self-determination in the occupied West Bank, and further accused the occupation of violating the Geneva Conventions.
Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation has continued its genocidal war in the Gaza Strip, killing and wounding dozens of Palestinians, while decimating the few remaining housing units, facilities and infrastructure of Gaza.
On Saturday, sources with Al-Awda Hospital in the Nuseirat Refugee Camp, in the central Gaza Strip, reported that doctors with the facility succeeded in saving the fetus of a pregnant woman who was killed after the Israeli occupation forces bombed her home in the camp during the early morning hours.
The woman was immediately transferred to the hospital, where doctors in the Operating room managed to remove the fetus, which was born alive, before being transported to the Nursery at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the city of Deir al-Balah.
According to Palestinian sources, Zionist warplanes bombed several residential homes and a gathering of civilians in the Nuseirat Camp, killing at least 6 Palestinians and wounding several others.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said it's rescue crews recovered the bodies of 4 Palestinians killed in the occupation's strikes, after Israeli warplanes bombed the home of the Al-Tawil family in the Nuseirat Camp, before recovering two more dead bodies after a bombing that targeted a group of civilians on Al-Rashid Street, a coastal road west of the camp, transferring the dead and wounded to Al-Awda Hospital.
In another atrocity, occupation artillery detatchments shelled the vicinity of the community college in the Tal al-Hawa neighborhood, southwest of Gaza City, after which, PRCS paramedic crews transported the bodies of 6 martyrs to Al-Ahili Baptist Hospital in the city.
The war crimes of the Israeli occupation continued when Israeli fighter jets bombed a residential apartment belonging to the Ayyad family in the Mari' Abu al-Amin area of the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, north of Gaza City, killing 6 Palestinians and wounding more than 10 others.
Zionist warplanes also bombed the Al-Sharahi family home in the New Camp area of the Nuseirat Camp, killing 4 civilians, including citizen Yassin Al-Sharahi, his wife and his children, and wounding a number of others.
The Israeli occupation army then went on to bomb a residential house belonging to the Abu Sidra family in Camp-2 of the Nuseirat Camp, near the Al-Talaa Mosque in the central Gaza Strip, killing and wounding several Palestinians.
The occupation's atrocities and war crimes continued when Zionist fighter jets bombed the Abu Jasser family home in the Al-Alami area of the Jabalia Refugee Camp, in the northern Gaza Strip, resulting in the martyredom of 4 Palestinians and wounding a number of others who were transferred to Kamal Adwan Hospital in the camp.
Occupation warplanes later bombed a residential home belonging to the Al-Batran family in the Al-Bureij Refugee Camp, in the central Gaza Strip, resulting in the deaths of 3 civilians and wounding several others, while another bombing destroyed a populated house near the Martyr's roundabout in the camp.
The crimes of the Zionist Army continued with an occupation drone strike that targeted a civilian riding a bicycle on Street-5, north of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip, killing the Palestinian resident who was taken to Nasser Hospital in the city.
Reports also state that the occupation army continues to bomb and shell neighborhoods west of the city of Rafah, in southern Gaza, in conjunction with artillery shelling of residential neighborhoods east of Khan Yunis.
In yet another violation of International humanitarian law, IOF fighter jets bombed a residential house belonging to journalist Mohammad Jasser, killing the journalist, his wife and two children, all of whom were transferred to Kamal Adwan Hospital.
The Israeli occupation army followed up their horrific crimes by bombing the home of the Al-Sabbagh family in the Al-Zarqa area, north of Gaza City, resulting in the deaths of two Palestinians and wounding several others.
Occupation artillery and airstrikes also continue pummeling the Al-Da'wa neighborhood, north of the Nuseirat Camp, in the central Gaza Strip, while near non-stop airstrikes and shelling have also been targeting various neighborhoods of Gaza City, as well as northern and southern Gaza, killing more than 25 civilians since dawn on Saturday, with the majority of victims being children.
The attacks continued into the evening, when Zionist army fighter jets bombed a residential house belonging to the Siam family, west of the Yassin station, in the Saftawi area north of Gaza City, while victims of the bombing were transported to Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in the city.
Another occupation bombing targeted a residential building in the Nuseirat Camp, resulting in the martyredom of 3 civilians and wounding a number of others who were transferred to Al-Awda Hospital in the camp.
Later on Saturday evening, an Israeli occupation drone targeted the Araba area, north of Rafah City, in the southern Gaza Strip, killing two Palestinians and wounding others, while four Palestinian children were wounded by an occupation drone strike that targeted the children on the roof of their home in the Al-Bureij Camp, in the central Gaza Strip.
As a result of the Israeli occupation's ongoing war of extermination in the Gaza Strip, the death toll now exceeds 38'919 Palestinians killed, including more than 10'000 women and well over 15'000 children, while another 89'622 others have been wounded since the start of the current round of Zionist aggression, beginning with the events of October 7th, 2023.
This brings the official total number of casualties to 128'541, or the equivalent of 5.58% of Gaza's 2.3 million Palestinian residents.

ISRAELI SOLDIER SPEAKS OUT AGAINST OVERWHELMING FORCE USED AGAINST PALESTINIANS
📹 "It took me a while towards the end of my service to understand that I don't really see Palestinians as equal to me, and the death toll, and the bodies, and the destruction is just something that I feel I cannot be silent about anymore."
An Israeli soldier speaks out against the treatment of Palestinians by the Israeli occupation and its "most moral army in the world," describing the occupation of Palestine as having "corrupted the humanity of Israel's military."

What's going on in Zaporozhya?
I STILL don't have a Dog in this Fight, but Riddle Me This: If Russia has occupied Ukraine's largest Nuclear Power Plant (Zaporozhya) since April, why would they try to bomb it? Western Media is still pushing a narrative of Russian aggression & military ineptitude, but 'Controversial Sources' like The Grey Zone, Redacted, The Jimmy Dore Show, & Russell Brand have ALL pointed out how Russian Forces have outmaneuvered NATO supported Ukrainian Forces. They also show how Ukrainian Forces have been complicit in acts that injured & killed Ukrainian Citizens. 'Intel Republic' has reported that the shells bombing the area have come from Western Ukraine, not Russia.
While i'm @ it, what's up w/ Ukrainian Soldiers detaining IAEA Inspectors for 3hrs? I thought Zelensky would've rolled out a military escort. Were these Soldiers acting on their own? If so, why? Gonzalo Lira goes further, by speaking of a 'rumor' regarding British involvement in a plot to infiltrate Zaporozhya. According to the rumor, British MI6 Agents trained a group of up to 60 Russian speaking Ukrainian 'Commandos' to initiate an amphibious assault on the Nuclear Plant. Next, they were supposed to take the IAEA Inspectors hostage & mine the Zaporozhya Plant, while posing as Russian Soldiers. The goal, was to create a Nuclear Threat that would force Russia out of Ukraine.
The problem, was The Plan didn't work. As Intel Republic & Gonzalo Lira tell it, The Russian Air Force killed @ least 47 of the 60 Commandos. 2 were captured & 2 others are in Critical Condition. Lira goes on to say that this 'Operation' was carried out @ the behest of Boris Johnson, who wanted to leave Office on a memorable note. Backing up this 'rumor', are reports of British Shells & American HIMAR Shells being found @ Zaporozhya. IAEA Inspectors are scheduled to leave, but 2 Inspectors will remain On Site indefinitely. The Question now is: Will their presence end the shelling around the Nuclear Plant? Both Sides welcomed the IAEA Inspectors, so we will have to wait & see.
-Don't expect to get True Updates from Mainstream Media.
Geopolitics & Double Standards
Volodomyr Zelenskyy did a great job of giving his perspective of Ukraine's War w/ Russia, in his interview w/ Margaret Brennen on 'Face The Nation'. The pictures of devastated Communities, & mass graves show the extent of suffering that Ukrainians on The Front Line face. Regardless of one's position on this War, it's hard not to feel for the innocent caught in the middle. The thought of Russian 'Filtration Camps', where families are separated, sound unconscionable. Zelenskyy is repeating his mantra of 'more weapons', but W.H. Nat'l Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan told Brennen that The U.S. has already sent $15B in weapons to Ukraine. Some estimate that U.S. aid to Ukraine will top $60B.
From an Indigenous (Black) American perspective, the geopolitics of Ukraine is curious. Cities have been destroyed, & the people are suffering, but why? NATO will never accept Ukraine as a Member State, & The EU is using Ukraine as a proxy to destabilize Russian Influence globally. Despite the news of turmoil in Russia over drafting additional soldiers, The Russian Ruble continues to grow in value. 'Global South' Nations continue to do business w/ The Kremlin, giving Russia alternatives to Western Europe. Meanwhile, The EU is already feeling the backlash of Russian Sanctions. They are collectively preparing for a Cold Winter, as protests are growing throughout Europe.
The U.S. has spearheaded NATO'S 'membership drive' in Eastern Bloc Countries, so I understand The Biden Administration's commitment to arming Ukraine. The issue that I have, is the double standard playing out in Black America's face. Flint & Detroit (Mi) need $2B to fix a Drinking Water problem that has been ongoing since The Obama Administration. Jackson (Ms) needs @ least $1B to revamp their outdated Water & Filtration System. Parts of Alabama are still fighting a hookworm problem, resulting from outdated Sewage Systems. The Federal Gov't has given a little 'lip service', but have been slow to put Real Dollars into any of these emergencies.
Meanwhile, U.S. HIMARS & other weapons sent to Ukraine are showing up on the [Ukrainian] Black Market. 'Redacted' recently reported that nearly 400 train cars, about 2 dozen shipping containers, & several tractor trailers of supplies sent to Ukraine have gone missing. What exactly are American Taxpayers paying for? Back in Washington, D.C. Democrats & Republicans alike refuse to talk about Reparations; unless it's for Elderly LGBTQ..., or Disability payments to Transgender Individuals suffering from 'Gender Dysmorphia'(???). How does The Biden Administration expect 2 import 100,000 Afghans, 100,000 Ukrainians, plus an estimated 2 million Illegal Immigrants from Latin America, w/o presenting a Black Agenda?
It's clear that there is a united effort to silence Us, but America's 'money moves' only strengthen Our argument for Reparations. We just need to stand firm on Our Square. Regardless of one's identification as: ADOS, FBA, Freedmen/ FreeMen, Indigenous/ Aboriginal, We ALL share the same Lineage. Our Experience, is uniquely 'American'. We may follow different roads, but We share the same destination. Ukraine is looking more & more like a (yet another) bloody, barbaric 'Corporate Money Grab'. If the U.S. Gov't can come up w $5T for Iraq & Afghanistan, $10T for COVID & now, 10s of Billions of dollars for Ukraine, it can come up w/ WHATEVER the final price tag for Reparations turns out to be... Can you really put a price on building a World Economic & Military Power?
