Endless War

Pushing over Russian red lines is what got Ukraine special military operation. It can result in strikes on NATO eventually too. US political leadership attempting to resolve situation may protect them more than its colonies still in rabid Russophobia/CIA deep state mode.

Ukraine would owe familied $2B if it accepted the bodies. Victims of nazi regime coercion that will sacrifice every last conscript for anti-Russia empire geopolitics, see it as last straw against their cannon fodder slavery.

6000 soldiers since last month is also a very large number that has averaged 1000 or so per month. 10 to 1 ratio of Ukrainian to Russian dead, btw, at least over last year.

Citing costs of F35 and Abrahms tanks.

Chinese Aluminum pries are 1/3 and Steel prices 1/2 of US, and so ironically, one of the few import countries that can compete with inflated protectionist US prices.

Canada has taken an embarrassingly weak response to US attack on it. Still cooperating with US miltary, and yet to cancel F35s and other weapons purchases.

I guess the collective western public timidity can get Trump to TACO with private non movement over time, but more aggressive expansion of international relationships without confronting US evil would be more proactive while still publicly timid. Instead process looks like gaslighting their own people until further subjugation is imposed on them.

News is that headlines authorizing Merz speaking on behalf of US and EU majors, was without such an explicit agreement/discussion.

Op half focuses on war on china half on empire expansion.

It's really empire expansion that is dramatic political turn in us. Need for eu and canada to help destroy usa, and cooperate closer with China is Only path to stop the extortion.

The us is not capable of taking on China militarily any more. But pretending it can, can make weapon salesmen rich.

Instead of a BS "rearmament ceasefire" that will require Ukraine to retreat until they break their BS ceasefire, Ukraine/Europe is in a position to agree to demilitarization of Ukraine in exchange for demilitarization of Russia. Europe seems stuck on losing a provoked war against Russia, just because their people have already been brainwashed on that being the bestest idea every 100 years.

US has had incredible success so far this year in further colonizing Panama, and made big subjugations of Columbia too, in terms of deportations cooperation.

Columbia is key to expanding Pacific/Atlantic trade with a railway if Panama is subjugated to refuse the ideal route. Canal capacity is reduced from drought, and global warming is designed to make more drought in Panama.

US has funded anti-BRI terrorism and sabotage throughout the world. Nowhere as aggressive as Panama. Panama government cooperation is certain to doom its people to permanent poverty.

Germany and Lithuania also took a "defeat day" attitude towards victory day.

In February, US President Donald Trump declared that “The US will take over the Gaza Strip” and “level out” the remaining buildings and transfer the Palestinian population to “other countries.” At the time, both US and international media dismissed Trump’s plan as an “outlandish” scheme with no prospect of realization.

The Israeli government approached Trump’s plan with deadly seriousness. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised Trump’s “bold vision” for an ethnically cleansed Gaza. “We’re working on it,” Trump said during a meeting in Washington last month.

On Monday, the Netanyahu government effectively announced the beginning of the final stage of ethnic cleansing in Gaza. The plan includes a full military occupation of the entire Gaza Strip and the mass internment of the population in concentration camps under armed guard, as a prelude to forced marches through the desert or deportation by sea.

These concentration camps will be staffed by private US security contractors, with the Israel Defense Forces overseeing the distribution of starvation rations. According to a report this week by Reuters, the United States and Israel are actively discussing the formation of a “transitional government” headed by a US official to administer Gaza.

Echoing the “final solution,” the Nazi term for the genocide of Europe’s Jews, Netanyahu declared, “It’s time to launch the concluding moves.” The next day, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich explained the meaning of the Israeli government’s plan:

Within a year, ... Gaza will be entirely destroyed, civilians will be sent to ... the south to a humanitarian zone ... and from there they will start to leave in great numbers to third countries.

The mechanism for the forcible displacement of the Palestinian people will be mass starvation. As National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir made clear, “No electricity, and no other aid should be allowed—neither by the [Israeli military] nor by civil society.”

On March 2, Israel imposed a total blockade on all food, water and electricity entering the Gaza Strip. As a result, the majority of Gaza’s community kitchens have been forced to shut down due to a lack of supplies, and cases of acute malnutrition have surged by more than 80 percent. Harrowing images have circulated of emaciated, starving children—victims of a famine that is entirely man-made.

Though weapons details are murkier than headline. So far war, is about air fighting.

Pakistan still has a lot of F16s, though it has apparently only flown Chinese Jets against India using French jets. India still spends more on Russian weapons than any other source.

India offers more patronage to trade to other powers, and so likely to find support for endless weapons expenses.

lemmy needs different propaganda, if Ukrainians are to survive nazi empire evil. First hand account voices can impress the uninformed.

Serious war fascism preparations underway. US colonialism for Taiwan FDI in US, and foreign reserves held in USD. Natural democratic forces in world is to be angry at US extortionist tariffs, and Taiwan's fascist response is certain corrupt bribery.

Ceasefire announcement comes after Israel airport damage, and loss of 3 planes, requiring evacuation of AC attack group.

China-Russia cooperation is certain to outlast Trump and US empire, but gossiping a usual media passtime.

Zelensky's terrorist threats on Moscow parade may get China to actively engage against Ukraine.
