Aside from the ongoing Nazi wars in Ukraine and Israel, the recent hole
the US is digging in Venezuela is concerning. Still trying to enforce the
defunct the Monroe Doctrine? Protecting US interests is not a good strategy
using sanctions and military means in an emerging multipolar world.
Not sure what is going on in Nepal, but it seems to be spiraling out of control.
Sounds like an internal struggle against authoritarian, overreach.
How about some music to calm things down?

Hey, good morning
.
Sounds like Macron is busy digging a domestic hole for France,
appointing an unpopular PM while the people are threatening a
general strike. "Block Everything"

Don't forget our ongoing color revolutions in..
Serbia, Georgia, Indonesia, Thailand...
We are the bully of the world...
Thanks for the OT!

color revolutions
.
is too nice of a term
for clandestine regime change
operations, but you are right
"bully the world" to prop-up
the failing hegemony.
Foggy and 50 here this AM in Maine.
Thanks for your comment.
Zionism is a social disease
Good grief.
So, let me get this straight. The US invites some of the leaders of Hamas to a neutral country, Qatar, to "negotiate" for peace. We then tell the leaders of the Zionist entity the time and location of the hypothetical negotiations. The Zionist entity predictably blows the hell out of the site, presumably killing the negotiators, and oh by the way attacking formerly-neutral Qatar in the process. Do I have that right? And if so, in what possible world is that not a war crime? Sigh...

All of the performative hand-wringing on the Cheeto's part will accomplish nothing: the actions speak very clearly. Why would any nation believe a word we say, at this point? I don't believe that there's enough credulity in the world to sell that sack of shit...
The masks are coming off very rapidly now.

Apparently war crimes do not count for

certain "exceptional" states?
Treaties be damned. The rules
are lopsided and there is no
entity with any teeth to enforce
existing treaties.
No different in Qatar.
Cheers

True, dat.
The USA and the Zionist entity are now, and forever will remain, one and the same. The brush that deservedly tars them deservedly tars us as well. Too bad that we don't have a democracy in which that could be changed, no?
Our undoing will be positively Biblical, if you'll pardon the expression.

Good morning Cap'n Q. Rain yesterday, some early
this morning. More projected, but we'll see.
Macaroon, as I recall has lost several votes of no confidence, but insists on appointing the same old assholes that keep getting rejected as opposed to sommebody the people want. Once his term is over he will no doubt be gone, but will his replacement be any better? Can gis replacement be any better with the EU really running the show over there? Somewhat like here, can real change come to pass?
Ah well, across the whole globe we have oligrchnet, banksternet, and competing religiofascistnets. How can there not be innumerable hotspots, between the greedheads, powerfreaks, and godmaniacs. The only constant is that nobody gets out of here alive.
At least the French are, as always, uppity and prone to manning the barricdes - I wish them all the luck in the world, and here's to Dany le Rouge, wherever he may be:

good morning el
.
perhaps in, the bigger scheme of things,
this is what RUS & CHI (perhps India and Iran)
are trying to combat with their multipolar plans.
thanks for checking in

Dany le Rouge later became a prominent Green political leader
in Germany.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Cohn-Bendit
Both the German Greens and the elderly Mr. Cohn-Bendit himself seem way behind the curve on Israel-Palestine. They think the left anti-colonialist view is antisemitic. Not that different from Netanyahu, Trump, Merz, and Starmer & Co. these days.

Thanks for the info, lot. Now that I think on it, I do
seem to recall that he went into German politics at some point.

Good afternoon, Cap'n!
This is pretty up to date info regarding Doha, and it is short. Looks like the Middle East still isn't interested in solidarity with Palestinians, but they are unifying against Israel.
Thanks for the OT, and enjoy being a Mainer, friend!

Qatar and Iran
seem to have kissed and made up, thanks to the Doha attack.

It will be interesting to see what

weasel words the trumpet uses to cover
for his buddy nutty yahoo. I would think the
Gulf regional partners will close their air space,
water ways and oil pipelines, as well as ceasing
all trade with Israel. In other words isolate them.
Thanks for the Al Jazeera link!

The elephant in the room
US Security Cooperation with Qatar
I don't think the target in Doha was very far from Al Udeid airbase where Central Command has a forward base. Qatar is one of the biggest US military hardware buyers. Was everyone asleep at their post?
Again I'm reminded of the old days in the pub, when I'd hear people say, "no one will ever know."

Doesn't make a lot of sense

for USAF tankers to refuel
Israel jets so they can bomb
the host country of central
command?
Zionism is a social disease
The proper word
in Yiddish to describe this is "chutzpah", I think. Another Yiddish word applies to it as well: "drek".
Of course, there's also an English phase that applies here as well, when it comes to bombing one's own airbase: "absolute mindbending, gobsmacking, abject stupidity".
Milo Minderbinder would be so proud...

UFS, I'm just guessing
When I looked at a map, I think it was maybe 15 miles or so away. Even at that, the situation still appears absurd on its face.
己所不欲，勿施于人。
I've read reports
that say US and British refueling air tankers flew out of US bases in Qatar to service the attacking Israeli warcraft.
Chutzpah writ large.
Neither Russia nor China is our enemy.
Neither Iran nor Venezuela are threatening America.
Cuba is a dead horse, stop beating it.
