The US has only one objective in Syria—regime change. The fact that it has been unable to achieve this after ten years of trying does not appear to deter the Biden administration from embracing failure. rt.com/op-ed/518166-s…

"The complaint also discusses the bribery scandals: 'People received free hotel stays from various companies, extra vacation days, received benefits from the government and more rights were assigned to vaccinated people (read: rights are taken away from non-vaccinated people)'"

A close second would be, if ever confronted with it, hearing media outlets trying to justify their failure to cover the story -- e.g. the "fearless and adversarial" @theintercept, which has yet to even acknowledge the dissenting experts' existence.

Ottenberg:”“Militarily war against Taliban has long been lost,” according to Moon of Alabama on Feb23. “Even w/100,000 western troops Obama adm had sent, there was no way to win it.” But of course, if the U.S. finally departs, the current Afghan government may very well fall”

Ottenberg:”35 govts currently have soldiers in Afghanistan. According2World Beyond War, these troop numbers range “from Slovenia’s6 to U.S.’s 2500. Most countries fewer than 100.” Ireland, Canada, Jordan, Croatia, New Zealand and France have removed their soldiers altogether.”

Ottenberg:”Biden must know that by staying longer or adding troops, he ensures U.S. casualties. The military knows it. But that’s a price our generals appear willing to pay. After all, the Taliban and the U.S.military have been killing each other for 20 years. What’s another 20?”

Ottenberg:”The Trump team therefore negotiated with the Taliban, who did not cease harassing U.S.-backed and financed Afghan government forces throughout this process. Biden quickly applied the brakes to the Trump disengagement vehicle.”

Ottenberg:”in Afghanistan. Like those soldiers, these mercenaries’ lives are at risk. They are also a geopolitical liability. If one gets killed, as happened not too long ago in Iraq, the U.S. retaliates. That could ignite war at any time.”

Ottenberg:”The Afghan adventure has so far lasted 20 years and cost two trillion dollars. Afghanistan provides a convenient, imperial base from which to threaten China. The U.S. military, realistically, will never want to give that up.”

Ottenberg:”Will the U.S. military ever leave Afghanistan? The answer appears to be no. When the U.S. military comes it stays. It’s been in Germany since the 1940s, and now has expanded, with its attack dog, NATO, from there throughout Eastern Europe to menace Russia.”

Ottenberg:”Filkins mentions that some of these Taliban seem dazed+unfocussed after so many years in prison. From lower depths to opulence. “We tortured you for years, but now we need you,”=peculiar message from U.S. negotiators, whom these Taliban must regard with jaundiced eye”

30 years of US control over Albania. 30 years from the day we lost our independence and had an overseas un-elected governor general dictating our fate. Please yankies! Go home! Leave us alone! Europe and the rest of planet is enough for us.

This is how Benjamin Netanyahu was begging Albin Kurti to go to Jerusalem for opening the Embassy of Kosova. After Kurti resisted, Bibi opened the embassy by himself! What a parody! gazetaexpress.com/netanyahu-lett…

This is the letter that @netanyahu sent to Albin Kurti, inviting him to open the embassy in #Jerusalem. When Kurti said: Let me think: Bibi opened the embassy of #Kosova by himself with an Israeli - Kosovar lady. What a parody! Typical fake story!

"pushing for actions like a ban on citywide facial recognition technology..some studies have shown are inherently biased against people of color..also resisting law enforcement tech such as drones, which have been used by law enforcement in certain cities to track protesters"
