US Says It Doesn’t Want a Ceasefire in Lebanon, Supports Israeli Offensive

The State Department said Tuesday that it doesn’t want to see a ceasefire in Lebanon and supports the heavy Israeli bombardment of the country to “degrade Hezbollah.”

State Department spokesman Matt Miller was asked about comments from Hezbollah Deputy Sheikh Naim Qassem, who said the group supports efforts by Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri to reach a ceasefire without mentioning that it must also include a ceasefire in Gaza.

“Now that Hezbollah is on the back foot and is getting battered, suddenly, they’ve changed their tune and want a ceasefire,” Miller told reporters.

Miller claimed the US “ultimately wants a diplomatic solution” but voiced strong support for Israeli military operations, which have killed more than 1,250 people, including over 100 children. “We support Israel’s efforts to degrade Hezbollah’s capability,” he said.

Being an imperial spokesperson must be the world's easiest job. You don't even have to practice your lying or two-facing skills any more since everything's just mask off nowadays

Isn't the last one a sizeable fraction of the population of the zionist state

With the yanks and zionists people talk about dog wagging tail / tail wagging dog all the time but I think it's more like two heads on the same hydra. Where does Washington dc end and tel aviv start? Idk. These people are all part of the same blob monster

IIRC reagan got menachem begin to stop bombing beirut after seeing a photo of 1 dead baby

the current yank government is shit even relative to historic yank government standards (insane)

I like his point on reinforcing failure, I said something similar a few days ago. As things get bad instead of accepting losses and regrouping the empire doubles down on loss and loses even more. The empire is unwilling to give anything up but it MUST in order to regroup at a lesser level to stop the decline, instead however it keeps doubling down and losing even more.

Restraint is perceived as weakness, diplomacy perceived as "appeasement" and retreating seen as "cowardice". It's impossible maximalist goals or nothing, a deranged death cult.

This is probably the worst atrocity of the 21st century (so far )

Iraq war was pretty horrible. And NATO forcing ukraine into war is incredibly cruel too

It Is Now Labour’s Turn to Expand the Piecemeal Privatisation of the UK’s National Health Service

The UK’s new Labour government is only six days old but its grand project to further privatise the National Health Service (NHS) is already up and running. On his first day in office, “über-Blairite” Health Secretary (and wannabe prime minister) Wes Streeting announced that the NHS was “broken,” which should give his ministry plenty of leeway to inflict further damage while blaming all the resulting chaos and destruction on the last 14 years of Tory government.

By all metrics, the Conservative Party has left the NHS in a state of rack and ruin. One of the largest employers on the planet, the NHS is suffering from crippling staff shortages, dangerously long ambulance waiting times, unprecedented waiting lists for surgery or specialist clinical care — partly due to the coronavirus pandemic but also exacerbated by years of chronic underfunding — and a buckling primary care system.

Whatever the diagnosis, the treatment is already abundantly clear: yet more privatisation. Streeting himself has repeatedly pledged to outdo Tony Blair, his mentor and idol, in deploying the private sector in the provision of NHS care. Now, to help “cure” the NHS of its ills, his Health Ministry is apparently planning to bring back Sir Tony Blair’s health secretary Alan Milburn.

Anglo islanders are fucked lmao

Didn't the legendary russian pranksters recently get david cameron to admit that it's never happening?

Literally every single accusation

Channeling

Biden is/was evil but now his current state is one if extreme senility with barely any actual sentience/perception/awareness. Of course, all the flunkies around him are merciless ghouls like blinken
