I was drafted in 1970 so I paid especially close attention to the Viet Nam war. It was lost in the evening news when the public was shown horrible scenes every evening at dinner time. The public did not have the stomach for it.Well, the US lost the war in Vietnam too. Mainly because guerilla's fighting for their own land will always be stronger than an invading force from another nation that has no right to invade.
IMO that is a mischaracterization of what is going on. Putin's goals seem pretty transparent and allowing him to succeed in Ukraine will not stop him, but encourage him to encroach on other nearby neighbors.I don't understand how you can be so insensitive and use two standards. When Putin invades Ukraine, it's clear. But when Israel denies the rights of the Palestinian people and starts eliminating an entire people, Israel is right.
IMO Iran is the developing nuclear threat in the region. I am not as good at mind reading as you are, but Iran has declared that they would like to make Tel Aviv glow in the dark.US senator Lindsey Graham is near to giving Israel nuclear bombs to end it all. It doesn't even dawn on him that if Israel uses those, it will also pollute it's own land. It's not WWII all over again.
This is another old tired anti-Jewish screed, some of the most enduring anti-Jewish stereotypes have to do with moneyOf course, if you follow the money, it is clear he's been bought: the Republican Jewish Coalition is his greatest financeer by far. But Nelson, Mullins et al are also distributing Israeli dollars.

International relations have always been at least a two way tug of war between good and evil, with each side thinking they are the good guys.
IMO that is a mischaracterization of what is going on. Putin's goals seem pretty transparent and allowing him to succeed in Ukraine will not stop him, but encourage him to encroach on other nearby neighbors.
The Palestinian's rights are being denied by Hamas.
If you want to free Palestine get rid of Hamas. Over the years Hamas has redirected millions in international aid to construct underground tunnels and bunkers beneath hospital, schools, and even UN offices.
They use innocent Palestinians as human shields. Ask yourself why Gaza's neighbors deny shelter to Palestinian refugees?
This is not some pro-Israel conspiracy to kill Palestinians, this is other countries in the region acting in their own self interest. They don't want to allow Hamas's bad ideology to destabilize their own governments.
IMO Iran is the developing nuclear threat in the region. I am not as good at mind reading as you are, but Iran has declared that they would like to make Tel Aviv glow in the dark.

It "could" have been easily won if the military was unfettered.So it would have been won if the public would have been kept in the dark?
I am not going to pursue your straw man down the rabbit hole.Maybe you're right. But it's not democratic at all, is it? In fact, it is the essence of fascism.
more mind reading?The USA have killed millions in the region. And all of that to please Israel and Saudi Arabia.
We have more than enough oil if President Biden takes his boot off the neck of the oil industry.But you're losing the Saudis.
TrueEven when there were clear signs they bankrolled 9/11
True but Kashoggi was no saint, he was a political activist spewing his criticism of the Saudi Government from an editorial position at a western newspaper.and proof they killed Kashoggi.
we'll have to take your word for it... lots of shady business around the world.Those who were instrumental in delivering Kashoggi to the Saudi embassy in Turkey now have companies in Israel, Cyprus and Russia.
Turkey plays both (more?) sides of the street and as an oil consumer is probably incapable of prolonged sanctions against Saudi oil. In fact they side with OPEC+ against America.But that doesn't even worry the NSA in the slightest. Turkey was more upset and investigated a lot better than all the US agencies combined. Go figure.
Putin would just be replaced with another similar dictator.Probably, maybe. He stated he wanted to support the Russian speaking Ukrainians in the Crimea and Ukraine. But even the Russian speaking population has had to flee (except the fascists who joined the Russian military). Just like Netanyahu, Putin needs the fascists to stay in power. If he can't win the war, he'll be dead in a jiffy.
Indonesia has roughly 300 million souls and is 87% muslim. Just like the rest of the world only a tiny fraction support radical islam.LOL.
Years ago, Palestine was run by the PLO. The PLO was secular. Hamas isn't. Jihad is harder to overcome, since it will unite fanatic Muslims. And not only Arab muslims. There's an awful lot of muslims in Asia, for instance. And they are closely following what's happening. Some are already on their way to Palestine to become martyrs...
Why would Israel support Hamas..? Sorry that does not hold water.And Hamas was democratically elected. Why? Because there wasn't any other fraction that could offer hope. All the other fractions were being sabotaged by Israel. I wonder why Hamas wasn't...
Or the tens of $B worth of US weapons left behind in Afghanistan by President Biden.That's simply not true. There's plenty of money from the Saudis, Qatar and other rich Arab oil nations flowing to Mekka. And from Mekka it can go anywhere in the world, including the USA. Easy buying politicians if you have a nearly unlimited budget.
I know, because I audited several EU aid programs. Sure, some money got lost, but it didn't go to Hamas, or any other splinter group. It went to businesses in the UK, Gibraltar and Malta. I was a bit disappointed whit the results of the audit when it showed only 45% of the money reached the Bekaa farmers. I was later told that was a succes. Usually, it was far less...
Still it was way better than the US effort to stop poppy farmers in Afghanistan. They spent 5 billion, the result was the best harvest ever. Now, explain that to me. Of course, in the same year, Haliburton stole 20 million $ worth of fuel and sold it to unknown buyers in Pakistan. That was quickly covered up. It seemed nobody at the Pentagon wanted to lose face. And, hey, it was only 20 million. Compared to the poppy debacle, that was just a fly fart...
For those having trouble following you are probably talking about Mecca (Makkah al-Mukarramah) the high holy site for Islam.Because that would please Israel immensely. They have a habit of bombarding refugee camps in Lebanon and elsewhere. Can you imagine Egypt being very wary about Palestinian refugees when the current govt of Egypt is secular and trying hard to stay away from Jihadi's. The Egyptian govt would effectively be between two fires. Israel on one side, the jihadis on the other side. The same goes for Syria and Iran. Syria is secular, Iran isn't. And who can we thank for Iran's conversion? Yeah, it's the USA. And Gaza would be empty, to be occupied by (zionist) settlers.
Is there anything left to destabilise in Iraq, or Lebanon?
I'm not mind reading at all. I just observe and listen to many sources. Syria and Iran don't want Jihad either, but they are constantly being harassed by Israel and Jihadi groups. If they don't react, the Jihadi's will grow in power. If they do react, they're being harassed by Israel.
And where is the central leadership of the Jihadis? Right, it's in Mekka. Have you noticed Mekka is only in the news during Hadj. This gets royally ignored by the USA (and the UK).
I suspect this sounds logical to you?So it's OK to take Israel's bribes? It wouldn't be OK if it was Russian or Chinese money, would it?
It happens, you know. Ultra right here was bought by Russians (the party leader was a close friend of the Russian ambassador) and later by the Chinese...
Money clearly has no colour. Money isn't communist, even when it comes from the CCP...
Take a look at this Mike ,

you sure like to argue.It really is allright to you if you keep the reality from the public. In other words, the ends justify the means.
I've heard that way too much.
If it wasn't to please the USA's dodgy allies, was it to please the industrial military complex?
It surely wasn't in the name of democracy, since the dictator removed by it, was put in place by the USA to start with. And that goes for more countries in the region than simply Iraq.
Oh, yeah. Let them pollute everything and get rich while doing it...
Fascism at it's best.
A journalist should criticise. That's what the press should do. It's even the essence of reporting. But, of course, the crimes of the Saudi royals are forgiven. Two standards at work as usual.
If you are too lazy to read the material I've provided several times, I can't help it. Please, go on dreaming. But don't bother replying to facts that have been known for a while. These facts have been scientifically researched, but you keep on denying them. If it was funny, I could somehow understand. But it isn't funny at all. It shows a deep lack of compassion and understanding.
Any nation who doesn't play to the US fascist playbook is an enemy, right? And that gives the USA the right to kill, torture and displace millions of people. Nice country you have.
Probably. But we don't know that, do we?
There are numerous examples in history where it went another way.
So?
I didn't say Israel should support it. It's just a reminder that Hamas didn't come out of nowhere. Nor did it come from Iran, or one of the other scapegoats.
That hasn't got anything to do with the discussion at hand. Besides, it was Trump who decide to leave Afghanistan, IIRC.
Now, you'll probably retaliate with the dream that Trump would do a far better job. Unfortunately, his track record doesn't show any job decently carried out. You still don't seem to understand that the only thing he accomplished, is turning US' democracy into the laughing stock of the world.
You seem the only one who has a hard time following reality. It isn't because US English spells Mekka with a c that people wouldn't understand the message. In fact, you're the only one who doesn't want to understand it cause it doesn't rhyme with your programming. I'm glad others seem to understand it.
Well, it's quite clear you don't. You have lamented endlessly about the democrats accepting Russian money, but keep awfully silent when it's about the other side. So, let's put that in simple words:
It should be illegal in any democratic country to finance political efforts with any money from any side that is meant to compromise the democratic election process. That includes other countries.
It's clearly not like that in the USA. In fact, there isn't a country on earth that meddles more in other countries than the USA. And the result is seldom good.
Other countries, who are more democratic, have laws in place to avoid that. The USA has literally invented and institutionalised lobbying and there are rules. But those rules are so simple to circumvent, it is laughable. A fact you clearly don't accept, if it's about your own tribe, but lament on endlessly, again, if it's the other tribe...
Maybe that's why nobody minds US education being so underwhelming?
US leads global oil production for sixth straight yearWe have more than enough oil if President Biden takes his boot off the neck of the oil industry.
I will likely regret this waste of time, I already do...
It "could" have been easily won if the military was unfettered.
Some classic advice from Sun Tzu's "The art of War" is to not allow politicians to be involved in prosecuting wars. With politicians responsive to public opinion they get whipsawed by each news cycle. Sadly this is better than the alternative.
My opposition to the Viet Nam war was simple self interest, and in fact I did get drafted, so my concern was real.
I am not going to pursue your straw man down the rabbit hole.

Yes, John. I'm mad. In both senses of the word.
I'm very angry about what Israeli fascists are doing to the people of Gaza. That includes being angry about US support of the genocide.
The only attempt to erase an ethnic, racial, or religious group in the region is Hamas' attack on innocent Israelis. The Israelis have a history of actual genocide, being attacked because of their religion.Wiki said:Genocide is the intentional destruction of a people[a] in whole or in part.
In 1948, the United Nations Genocide Convention defined genocide as any of five "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group". These five acts were: killing members of the group, causing them serious bodily or mental harm, imposing living conditions intended to destroy the group, preventing births, and forcibly transferring children out of the group. Victims are targeted because of their real or perceived membership of a group, not randomly.[1][2]
The Political Instability Task Force estimated that 43 genocides occurred between 1956 and 2016, resulting in about 50 million deaths.[3] The UNHCR estimated that a further 50 million had been displaced by such episodes of violence up to 2008.[3] Genocide, especially large-scale genocide, is widely considered to signify the epitome of human evil.[4] Genocide has been referred to as the "crime of crimes".[5][6][7]
wiki said:The Holocaust was the genocide of European Jews during World War II.Between 1941 and 1945, Nazi Germany and its collaborators systematically murdered some six million Jews across German-occupied Europe, around two-thirds of Europe's Jewish population.
Some of your "education" seems more like ideological propaganda. Perhaps try to calm down and not react emotionally.And I'm insane cause I still think I can educate some...
I avoid that kind of "evidence" but it is apparently pretty persuasive with some. As generative AI technology gets more advanced I expect even more fake smoking gun evidence.Even people who refuse to look at the evidence. Like YouTube, who is eating MSM's lunch.
Because I dislike misinformation. I have difficulty leaving it unchallenged.But if you don't like arguing, why bother replying?
