This is a real video from the official White House account on a war that is currently killing people. I don’t know how the US is going to come back from this.

Historian here history first time as tragedy the second time as farce.

Die Kurden lassen sich von den USA bewaffnen, um spΓ€ter von ihnen fallen gelassen zu werden. Ist so etwas wie ein ehernes Gesetz der internationalen Politik

Interesting that AI targeting systems have soothing or domestic, feminine names like lavender and maven.

US: Europe risks civilizational erasure from too much migration.

The US is now wasting $4 million Patriot missiles on $20,000 Iranian drones.
"Stupid is as stupid does."
If the US had a professional president, he would ask Ukraine for technical assistance with cheap drone interceptors, but the US has Trump who instead insults Zelensky.

"the [two] World Wars were just staged dress rehearsals for the World War we are seeing today. There's too many parallels [and] repeated mistakes. I believe that these wars are pre-planned and deliberately orchestrated by someone pulling the strings behind the scenes."

Raytheon Executive: I know you’re skeptical about buying American again. But hear me out. The MIM-104 Patriot is the only surface to air missile system with a proven track record of success against the US Air Force.

Danish Defense Minister: Continue.
