MAKE PEACE, STOP WAR

I also believed that the American government had allowed Martin’s death to happen. His shift in focus—from demanding #desegregation to demanding #economicparity and an end to the unjust slaughter overseas, had led to his assassination- Clarence B. Jones .

#petroganda: anti-EV ad from an oil company. Under its Mobil1 brand, ExxonMobil quietly tested the waters with this ad, which according to ad data service Media Radar has so far run only on the History channel. It portrays #electrification as onerous, tethering us all to an endless number of cords.

this bold statement is committing the US to funding war in Ukraine for the rest of the Biden presidency, at least. Setting terms like this ensures Russia wont back down and come to the table, they will focus on holding gains they've made and extracting whatever loot they can from the oil region

"The infantry was tucked off in a corner. 'War is the province of friction', Chuck von Clausewitz said; I had a feeling we were going to put him to the test."

#Transparency: The $2.9 trillion spent on the #ForeverWar in #Iraq in 2003 under the #FalsePretext of preventing Saddam Hussein from developing #WeaponsOfMassDestruction caused more than half a million deaths and jailed #Assange for reporting #CivilianMurders.

Australians have a choice, we can continue business as usual which would see us devote countless resources on #nuclear-powered #submarines we don't don't need, can't afford, and that put us in danger.

Or we can peacefully #optOut.

this seems like a great idea, unmanned #ForeverWar

This seems like it must be a largely symbolic gesture given the logistical challenges of operating #Abrams #tanks. Which means it will do nothing to help #Ukraine win the #war with #Russia, while making it ever more apparent that this is actually a #ProxyWar between the two countries with the most #NuclearWeapons.

#WWIII may be a #ForeverWar that's already started.

Going back to sci-fi for my next read.
I picked up Forever Free by Joe Haldeman at the excellent Old Pier Bookshop in Morecambe a couple of months ago.

I remember reading Forever War when it came out as a Masterworks, and loving it.

During lockdown I rediscovered my love of reading - stumbling across #JohnScalzi #OldMansWar, which I loved and reminded a bit me of the #JoeHaldeman #ForeverWar series. Which led me to the #Bobiverse books by #DennisETaylor which I LOVED.

I also very much like....

Genuinely looking for more suggestions!

#VoodooEconomics according to #BushSr, who signed on as #VP anyway that led to #BushJr starting an unjustifiable #ForeverWar with a country that had no hand in a #Terrorist attack on our country on 9/11 but was a reasonable excuse to fund the #MilitaryIndustrialComplex.

Every bit of which was justified by #Reagan's #CowboyForiegnPolicy and #AmericaFirst precursor.

#Bipartisan fruits of generation long #ForeverWar, advertised to spread democracy and women’s rights via #RegimeChange, results in 1- neither, 2-an Afghan hunger crisis expected to effect millions and 3- no Republican culpability.

Perché l'obiettivo non è soggiogare completamente l'Afghanistan. L'obiettivo è usare l'Afghanistan per ripulire il denaro dalle basi imponibili degli Stati Uniti e dalle basi imponibili dei paesi europei attraverso (la guerra in) Afghanistan per poi riportarlo nelle mani di una (idea di) sicurezza transnazionale. L'obiettivo è quindi non avere una guerra da cui uscirne vincitori ma avere una guerra che non finisca mai.

Enjoyed #TheThreeBodyProblem, but The Dark Forest has left me in the weeds a bit (will return for another go at some point). Genuinely looking for suggestions!
