Surprised to not see Slotkin on here. Were the weapons labeled with the words ‘for offense only’ written in sharpie or something, so she could convince herself to do the right thing?

They interact with the people they represent, often on a golf course. It’s just that those people aren’t you and me.

What can we realistically expect from this group?

It would be great if they could at least sanction Israel and the US in addition to what some of these states are already doing unilaterally, but short of blocking any further shipping of arms (many of these countries are positioned on or near key straits in the region, I guess) what else can they do other than direct conflict or more performative decrees from the same neoliberal-dominated institutions that are currently failing us?

“We will do everything in our power” = watch out, we each have a ‘vote’ and aren’t afraid to use it!

Lmao, all these electoralist jokers are cooked. What a weak ass letter. Their votes never meant shit (and it sure as hell didn’t make any Dems or Repubs less genocidal), not when this whole imperial project is run by corporations and the MIC, yet they still can’t seem to think outside the ballot box.

Nice image! I was caught off-guard last night and just got a blurry pic from my phone.

Capitalism took cancer research, funded by taxpayers and performed by graduate students and post docs for no profit, slapped a hefty price tag on it for the public, then called it “innovation” to justify the insane amount of money they were able to extract from the masses (the same masses that originally funded that research).

You made a huge mistake. :)

Just watched a speech from Ibrahim Traore for the first time earlier today. It was very powerful. The four Sahel states are showing great fortitude and bravery as they stand up to NATO imperialism and the collaborators (i.e., traitors) in ECOWAS. Seeing the Burkinabe PM speak at the recent Sandinista celebration was fantastic too!

Thanks for helping me learn more about the other Sahel states and their united efforts.

You’re totally right, the US government and business elite were content to make money from both sides of the conflict right up until Dec 7, 1941 and the subsequent DoWs from Germany and Italy (once the US declared on Japan). They may have favored Britain and France in trade/indirect support somewhat before that, but that was more a result of historical diplomatic and economic ties, rather than any issue with the German political system.

The US government is not (and has never been) against fascism for ideological reasons. Fascism and American-style democracy go hand in hand quite well. Our government fought a war against fascists because they disrupted the global trade status quo and threatened US economic prosperity and that of our primary trade partners.
