Time for a reality check:
From Feb 2022 to Jun 2024 (28 months), 610 children have been killed in the war in Ukraine.
OHCHR Feb 2024 Two-year update, Mar-May 2024 report
From Oct 2023 to Jun 2024 (8 months), more than 15000 children have been killed in Gaza.
Al Jazeera Jun 2024
Note that the situation in Gaza is likely a gross undercount given the recent Lancet piece.
I want you to think for a minute how this is even possible.
This is why it’s more appropriate to call it the Biden faction (the Bidenists lol), comprising elements of the national security state apparatuses, intelligence agencies, political and business elites, international institutions that cater to the hegemonic interests of the US empire.
And this entire venture only works because Biden is/has been ruthless enough to give their plans a go ahead.
Do you think the Bidens will just give away decades-worth of business and political connections with Delaware-based financial companies to someone like, say, Kamala Harris?
It’s literally their family assets. It’s what made them powerful and influential.
Libs are experiencing karmic consequences right now.
Remember when they made fun of Trump having elementary school level vocabulary (and probably something about low IQ) as one of the reasons he shouldn’t be president? Soon Biden will have trouble stringing a few words together, and the libs have no choice but to praise him as a more capable leader than Trump.
Remember when they made fun of Putin being misled by sycophant advisors because Russia is a totalitarian society and why America is a superior country because democracy? Soon Biden will have the entire party locked down and the libs will be forced to say that Biden is the only choice we have to defeat Trump.
Ending Europe is always the end goal.
Look at the NATO summit today. More escalation against Russia. The US cannot possibly start taking on China while leaving Europe unchecked.
When Europeans start getting drafted into a war with Russia, many will want to emigrate. They’ll end up in the US as immigrant workers, causing brain drain to Europe, and the end of the entire European project.
This is just shock therapy in action.
It’s over. We’re talking about one of the most ruthless US presidents out there. Dude just destroyed Europe, started wars that killed hundreds of thousands with Russia and in the Middle East. These people don’t know who they’re up against.
Primaries are when the elites choose their candidates.
US elections are run on campaign donations. It’s when the bargaining of political favors take place. It’s when the candidates offer to the bourgeois donor class what they can bring to the table.
There is no such thing as democracy in the Democratic primaries (pun very much intended), just look at what happened to Bernie, if you still believe that the primaries are about the voters choosing their candidates.
They cannot replace Biden now because too much money and interests have been tied to Ukraine already. They’re stuck with Biden no matter what. Kind of a checkmate situation unless Biden can pull off something extraordinary, something huge that could change the national discourse overnight.
I am seriously inclined to believe that the US is behind this Saudi Arabian threat. Euro is so fucked.
It’s very clear that Hunter’s role is to reassure the bourgeois donor class that even if Biden has become a vegetable, he will be there to make sure that the promises of the Bidens will be fulfilled.
The donor class isn’t afraid of Biden losing, they’re worried about whether Biden’s deteriorating mental capacity will jeopardize Project Ukraine, a multi-billion dollar investment scheme of the Democratic Party, and Hunter is the central figure in this scheme.
Now you understand why Trump was indicted in 2019 when he threatened to withhold a $400 million foreign aid to the newly elected Zelensky unless he exposes Hunter’s role in Ukraine, and why the Republicans are so obsessed with crucifying Hunter Biden.
News Mega x Movie Mindset:
Speaking of South Korea, has anyone watched the recent Korean horror film Exhuma (2024)?
It is a political horror movie in disguise, full of nationalist/anti-colonial references that will be missed by 99% of the audience who does not understand Korean history.
I was going to write something up but saw this Twitter thread that pretty much covered everything (DO NOT CLICK unless you want spoilers): https://xcancel.com/buzzfourm/status/1764580925097308551
Highly recommended.
additional spoilers/historical references
During the Japanese colonial rule of the Korea (1910-1945), Japan sent feng-shui masters to survey the Korean peninsular and implanted iron stakes at critical points to curse the land. It is still a popular myth in Korea that its land has been cursed with a civil war that never ends and most of its leaders would die of horrific deaths.
All four main characters are named after actual Korean independence figures.
Lee Hwa-rim, for example, was a famous female independence activist who moved to Shanghai in 1930, joined the Korean Volunteer Army and fought the Japanese together with the Eighth Route Army from 1937-1945, joined the Communist Party of China in 1946 and then fought on the side of North Korea during the Korean War, returned to China and lived the rest of her life as an academic until her demise in 1999.
Her “partner-in-crime”, Yun Bong-gil was known for the famous Hongkou Park incident, a bombing attack that killed a number of high ranking officials of the Empire of Japan. Arrested and executed in 1932.
Yeah she endorsed Biden a few weeks before the Gaza genocide happened. Everyone was surprised why she would do that so early, before the primary even started. It’s clear that she has a very acute political sense and knows what’s about to go down around Washington.
And she’s going to be rewarded handsomely for her loyalty.
Honestly these people are academics and former diplomats who have no say in the policy making of their respective governments.
Just look at the NATO summit yesterday, they’re going all in on Ukraine. And even if the Europeans start to waver, America will make sure they don’t have a choice in this matter.
