You don't often see well-researched, deep-dive journalism anymore, so I thought I would bring this one to your attention. It's called "The Night Raids" by Lynzy Billing.
She spent years researching what was essentially murder squads created by CIA as they committed one war crime after another.

Over $100 Billion has been allocated to Ukraine this year, but that still isn't enough. So NATO looked around and found billions more in a de facto slush fund.

As we look to the future of this region, let’s take this precedent as inspiration for a long-term vision for Afghanistan and its neighbors. Let’s set our sights on a new Silk Road – a web of economic and transit connections that will bind together a region too long torn apart by conflict and division.

Before I begin I want to say that I know Afghanistan and Yemen aren't technically in the Middle East, but I used the term anyway for the benefit of Americans.

All over America, people are concerned and outraged at Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
And they should be, because the invasion was unnecessary. In fact, the levels of concern and outrage are so universal that it might be the number one bipartisan, uniting feature in America today.

Considering all the crocodile tears being shed over Ukraine, it's easy to forget that the U.S. doesn't actually care about the people living there. That's why the wisdom of Hillary Clinton is so valuable for keeping everyone grounded.
