Listening to Yellen is great for insomnia but not much else. I swear her superpower is to calmly talk in circles until the oxygen gets sucked out of the room.

BBC, May 2021: Israel-Gaza: How much money does Israel get from the US?

  • How much aid does the US give?
    • In 2020, the US gave $3.8bn (£2.7bn) in aid to Israel - part of a long-term, yearly commitment made under the Obama administration. Almost all of this aid was for military assistance.
  • How does this compare with other countries?
    • Since World War Two, Israel has been the largest overall recipient of US foreign aid.

  2. lemmy.world defederated from lemmygrad.ml, lemmy.ml didn’t and isn’t going to.

If they think their intel failure is bad for business, wait ’till they get their fresh servings of Boycotts, Divestments, and Sanctions for the crimes against humanity that they’re committing right now.

This is a clear example of how the the US is complicit in what is happening right now. We helped set the stage for this.

There is just no way Israel is doing these crimes against humanity without the Biden’s consent. When Biden boosted the baby beheading story, I think he was fully aware that it was fabricated.

The people calling Lemmygrad National Socialist/Nazi/etc sound pretty ridiculous considering how those people are explicitly banned, and I’ve seen how quickly they get kicked off the site:

Yes that is what OP is doing, because he & you don’t know your asses from your elbows about communism or Lemmygrad, as evidenced by your equating them with Nazism, which they are explicitly, full-throatedly against.

If anyone’s hoping that this lemmy.ML community will defederate from lemmygrad.ML anytime soon, then you obviously don’t understand where the fuck you even are.

Lemmy.world deleting posts with archive links and posts questioning the decision.

Lemmy.world has somehow decided to become to extreme defenders of “copyright” and decided they will now delete posts that contain archive links in an absurd move that not even corporate websites like Reddit do. Archive links provide a service to provide access to an article long after it is deleted or changed....

And Gaddaffi gave his troops Viagra and ordered them to rape women.

These kinds of propagandistic fabrications are used to manufacture consent for atrocities. Atrocities like bombing an open air prison of over two million people, half of whom are children, like the Gaza Strip.

If the US hadn’t continually expanded NATO eastward against its stated promises, and hadn’t affected a coup in Ukraine in 2014, and hadn’t flooded Ukraine with weapons under the Trump & Biden administrations, then the Russian invasion probably wouldn’t have happened in the first place.

It was framed that way for decades by people on the left and also by centrists like Jeffery Sachs and by right-wing, realpolitik ghouls like Henry Kissinger and John Mearsheimer.

And Ukraine really does have a Nazi problem, which American media used to cover before Russia’s invasion, and then after the invasion it suddenly was considered Russian disinformation.

You didn’t tell me what action will end the war faster, other going to the negotiating table. Ukraine is running out of bodies to throw into the meat grinder. This is a war of attrition, and the numbers are not in their favor.

Europe should have left NATO 30 years ago, when the first cold war ended, and forged its own path, instead of continuing to get its marching orders from the USA. Now Europe is getting lead into a second cold war by them.

I hope they have no competition to the F-35 because everyone’s been saying it’s a piece of shit for the last fifteen years.

'They're just meat': Russia deploys punishment battalions in echo of Stalin (www.reuters.com)

Drunk recruits, insubordinate soldiers and convicts are among hundreds of military and civilian offenders pressed into Russian penal units known as "Storm-Z" squads and sent to the frontlines in Ukraine this year. Few live to tell their tale.

Historically the Soviets deported a lot of non-Russian minorities to penal colonies.

They did do that to a number of Axis powers fascists, because they were fascists.

The double-edged sword of privatisation is poised to cut deep into the heart of a failing South African state (www.dailymaverick.co.za)

An interesting assesment of how a failing state almost makes privatisation inevitable. But at the cost of not servicing the majority of the country’s population, and only catering to those who can pay for all services. Pay to win in reality.

Nazi apologia. It doesn’t matter how many books he wrote or how good they were.

Here’s how I read it: His Nazi past wasn’t discovered until after receiving literary awards, which was embarrassing to the literati, so they tried to whitewash him.

Just as there are such things as political prisoners, there are such things as political pardons. Judicial my ass; it was political.

And just as before, whatever the politicians & pundits are raving is neither here nor there. The guy voluntarily joined the Waffen-SS Galicia Division.

He didn’t volunteer to join the regular army and be a regular soldier, he volunteered to be a Waffen-SS paramilitary Nazi soldier, which is quite another thing.
