Opinion | What Is Happening at the Columbia School of Social Work? - The New York Times ... Other leading schools, like the Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy and Practice at the University of Chicago and the School of Social Work at the University of Michigan, have embraced social justice goals but without as sharp an ideological expression as Columbia ... What was once its central mission to enhance the world of social worknow follows an emphatic political statement ... If you think of slavery as the original sin of the United States, it makes sense to center that reality as part of the schools mission ... Foundations of Social Work Practice: Decolonizing Social Work ... This decolonization framework, in which people are either oppressor or oppressed, often viewed through the prism of American ideas around race, is by no means exclusive to the Columbia School of Social Work. But its application in the program illustrates the effects of the current radicalism on campus and the ways in which those ideals can shift an entire field of practice ...

A man whose council and praise was sought, treasured, and boasted about ...So when you wonder how things are as they are, how so many fucked up things are tolerated and cheered, how it's the people who object who are painted as deviant or even as The Real Racists, it's because this is a deeply fucked up culture filled with deeply fucked up people who fucking loved Henry Kissinger.

Russias Putin to stay in power past 2024, sources say

Russia is putting its entire economy at risk to fuel its war above all else, UK intel says
(1/6) Inflation rose to 6 per cent in Russia in September 2023, up from 5.3 per cent in August 2023. This was driven by rises in consumer prices such as food and fuel. Higher inflation is almost certain to increase the costs of funding Russias war in Ukraine.
(2/6) The Central Bank of Russia (CBR) responded by increasing the base interest rate by 2 percentage points, to a new base rate of 15 per cent. These are the highest rates since May 2022.
(4/6) Due to increasing demand, partially due to large increases in defence spending, along with continued pressures of a tightening labour market, the Russian economy is likely at risk of overheating.
(6/6) This further illustrates the reorientation of Russias economy to fuel the war above all else.

Normalizing fascism - Lawyers, Guns & Money ... Obviously polls a year before the election are of limited usefulness, but what this poll illustrates is the extent to which Donald Trumps current campaign to install himself at the head of a fascist dictatorship is not something that the American public as a whole either understands and/or disapproves of ... America is on the edge of installing an authoritarian dictatorship with a number of strikingly fascist-like features, so we don't have to get into a stupid argument about whether Donald Trump actually meets the fascist minimum, whatever that might be defined to require. And one reason this is about to happen is that our media elites simply refuse to acknowledge this extremely obvious fact.

Free dumb of the speech : PoliticalHumor

The Weirdo TechBro Elite - Lawyers, Guns & Money Ezra Klein has a long piece of the bizarro ideas of Silicon Valley, particularly the fetish of the ancient world where MEN WERE MEN AND THERE WAS NO POLITICAL CORRECTNESS. God, these people are just the biggest fucking dorks of all time. And yet, people legitimately see them as heroes, as they did with Musk before he immolated himself buying and destroying Twitter ... In July, Marc Andreessen the godfather of the web browser, one of the founders of the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz and arguably the chief ideologist of the Silicon Valley elite ... We are used to thinking of our ideological divide as cleaving conservatives from liberals. I think the Republican Partys collapse into incoherence reflects the fact that much of the modern right is reactionary, not conservative. This is what connects figures as disparate as Jordan Peterson and J.D. Vance and Peter Thiel and Donald Trump. These are the ideas that unite both the mainstream and the weirder figures of the so-called postliberal right, from Patrick Deneen to the writer Bronze Age Pervert.

I think people here are not quite aware of the scale of catastrophe Israel is facing beyond the massacre. I don't want to compare it to Gaza. Israel is a rich country and has not been under siege and massive airstrikes for decades. Still, the situation is dire:
It has been savaged by Netanyahu and his clerical fascist allies. The government that abandoned Israelis on the 7/10 continues mismanaging this civil emergency. The lack of rational democracy is remarkable and mirrors the strategic folly of the treatment of Gaza.
But it also includes a reckoning that the entire extreme-right-wing project led by Netanyahu has failed. This process has been brewing for the entire year but is now reaching a sad climax in reaction to the governments utter failure on 7/10 and after.

Opinion | Why Israel Is Acting This Way - The New York Times In the past nine months, a group of Israeli far-right and ultra-Orthodox politicians led by Netanyahu tried to kidnap Israeli democracy in plain sight.

That attempt opened multiple fractures across Israeli society. Israel was recklessly being taken by its leadership to the brink of a civil war for an ideological flight of fancy. These fractures were seen by Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah and may have stirred their boldness.

Netanyahu Bears Responsibility for This Israel-Gaza War - Haaretz Editorial - Haaretz.com - The disaster that befell Israel on the holiday of Simchat Torah is the clear responsibility of one person: Benjamin Netanyahu. The prime minister, who has prided himself on his vast political experience and irreplaceable wisdom in security matters, completely failed to identify the dangers he was consciously leading Israel into when establishing a government of annexation and dispossession, when appointing Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir to key positions, while embracing a foreign policy that openly ignored the existence and rights of Palestinians.

The killing has intensified along the road to peace - Lawyers, Guns & Money It is not surprising that Iran was heavily involved in planning the Hamas invasion, although it further underscores the scope of the failure of Israeli intelligence:

In fact, girls from lower-income rural households exhibit a disadvantage in their personal income attainment, partly due to the persistence of traditional gender norms.

Rupert Murdoch would do anything to stop Trump except anything - Lawyers, Guns & Money ... Ruperts small glimmers of conscience and wish he could duck responsibility if anything makes him more evil. ... According to current American evangelical thinking, Hitler could be relaxing right alongside Jesus if, an instant before he killed himself, he saiI accept Jesus Christ as my personal Savior." That's it.That's all it takes to get into the Kingdom of Heaven. Alternatively, someone who spends their entire life feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, housing the homeless, healing the sick, and generally loving their neighbor as themself is going straight to the Lake of Fire because without having uttered the Magic Phrase, their soul is condemned. So the moral of the story as told by moral Christians (and their Moral Majority) is that there is absolutely no need to live a moral life in any way because no matter what sins you commit, no matter how shitty and evil a person you are, just saying I accept Jesus Christ as my Personal Savior absolves you of everything!

The American Nations and Life Expectancy - Lawyers, Guns & Money ... The underlying theory here is that there are now about nine to eleven or so distinct American nations, regionally speaking, that dont track either state borders or census definitions of larger regions, and that the long-term cultural and political patterns in these different micro-nations explain much of the striking differences in public health to be found among them, even when one controls for such powerful variables as wealth and race/ethnicity ... And people in the Left Coasts poorest quartile of counties live 2.4 years longer than those in the richest quartile counties in the Deep South ... The larger point here is that the current fracturing of America follows very complicated geographical lines, that dont lend themselves very readily to any sort of amicable divorce, as increasingly tempting as such a response is becoming to contemporary political and cultural polarization.

Eastern Grouping: Russia ramps up offensive towards Lyman, Kupiansk with over 100,000 troops. Russia has concentrated over 100,000 troops in the Kupiansk-Lyman direction of the front, Eastern Force Grouping press officer Illia Yevlash said on Aug. 27.
Aug 27, 2023: Update 2 on the Robotyne AO, Tokmak Axis, Zaporizhia Oblast, UkraineRussian mil-bloggers are reporting that the AFU has broken through to Verbove. If true, this is the 46th Airmobile Brigade and it is huge in many ways especially combined with the AFU report that the 82nd Air Assault Brigade has also moved on Novoprokopivka. This means the main lines of the Russian defenses in the sector have been breached.

2) Wagner fought relatively well at Bakhmut, and with some real aggression. If the Ukrainians had abandoned Bakhmut, it would have preserved large number of Wagner forces, allowed them to recruit more, all of whom would be fighting Ukrainians now. Russia would have real reserves.
Should also add, that in crippling Wagner and helping precipitate the mutiny, fighting for Bakhmut also ended up with Putin strengthening the positions of Shoigu and Gerasimov (who have performed poorly) and getting rid of Surovikin, who seems considerably more competent
So, in fighting for Bakhmut, the Ukrainians broke Wagner, helped precipitate the violent breakdown between Prigozhin and Putin, has deprived Russia of a large reserve force now, and deprived Russia of more resources to have dug in. It was a hard choice, but worth it.

No, you dont have a reptilian brain inside your brainThe myth of the reptilian brain is tenacious but wrong.
Reptilian Brain Myth Is Still Alive and Kicking | Evolution News
Rethinking the reptilian brain.
No, You Do Not Have a Lizard Brain Inside Your Human Brain | Mind Matters ... If bad behavior stems from our inner beasts, then were less responsible for some of our actions ...

What Carl Sagan got very wrong about the human brain - Big Think in his Pulitzer Prize-winning book, The Dragons of Eden, Sagan endorsed a disputed theory of human brain evolution, suggesting that humans have a reptilian brain deep within our minds ... The idea has since been roundly disproved, but the myth that humans have a reptile brain persists almost certainly thanks to Sagans problematic popularizing ... In his triune brain theory, MacLean argued that the human brain evolved layer by layer. The deepest portion, responsible for functions like movement and breathing as well as instincts like hunger, survival, and mating, originated from our ancient reptilian ancestors. The second layer, the limbic system, controls emotional responses and arose in more recent mammalian ancestors. The third and final layer, the cerebral cortex, allows for language and reasoning and only arose in humans ... textbooks published between 2009 and 2017 and found that 86% contained at least one inaccuracy suggesting that our brains are layered as MacLean theorized.

Russian Central Bank Calls Emergency Rate Meeting Amid Tumbling Rouble : UkraineWarVideoReport
Russias Emergency Rate Hike Fails to Lift Ruble After Crash
In an act of pure desperation to bolster the crumbling Russian Ruble the Russian Central Bank dramatically raised the key interest rate to 12% (up from 8.5%). This extraordinary increase lays bare how dangerous the plunge of the Russian currency (and inflation) for Russia has become. Whether this will help to support the Ruble manipulation remains to be seen. I have my doubts. The value of Ruble is anyway far below what it pretends to be and everyone holding just a bill of that currency, knows that it is toilet paper. The Russian black markets will have another feast ... Treating its subjects as slaves, while handing everything over the super-upper class in charge. Like I said yesterday, the joke is on you, Russians. You are losing your future, this war and everything what you own to a few, who have their money and properties hidden in the evil West. But I also say: Every people has the government it deserves, you more than any other country.

For whatever reason, they absolutely monstered Howard Dean out of the primary in 2004, and before that, they regularly treated Dean supporters as absurd, ridiculous, childish, wrongheaded, etc. I don't care about Howard Dean in 2023, but reasonably the man facing several felony indictments - and his supporters - probably deserves at least as much monstering.

Elon Musk has officially killed Twitter. The zombie platform lives on as X, a disfigured shell of its former self - Twitter, the text-based social media platform that played an outsized role on society by serving as a digital town square, was killed by its unhinged owner Elon Musk on Sunday. It was 17 years old. A zombie Twitter, known only as X, reluctantly endures. A warped and disfigured platform, X marches on like a White Walker, an ugly shell of its former self under the command of a loathsome leader ... X is a platform where journalists are banned and smeared while the most repellant and dishonest voices are elevated.

Elon Musks X Rollout Is Already a Dumpster Fire - Conference rooms are to be renamed seXy and eXposure, despite Musks alleged sexual harassment. Trademark issues abound. Police had to get involved. Yikes.

6/ The points about Western militaries not having the equivalents of cheap, commercial-type drones for tactical ISR is a major topic of deliberation in the US military today.
They have different drone types, but this is purely brigade level. This shows that in addition to the war with the aborigines in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, the Americans have not participated in a serious war for a long time. Their army does not have an analogue of the Chinese Mavic 3, it was a shock for us
But after Kropyva I dont want to go back to paper docs at all. The same for quadcopters - the concept of DJI Mavics and the use of civilian copters is simply not even in their plans. Of course, they study our war, but they are still surprised that we use it (quadcopters) like that.

Eschaton: Best Not To Admit Any Black People At All Elie is right that universities are just going to face endless legal challenges. As a result, the real upshot of the affirmative action ruling is this: Colleges and universities must now punish Black applicants by decreasing the enrollment of Black students, by any means necessary. That's because the only way universities can show compliance with Robertss new rules is to show that theyve decreased the number of Black kids they let into school. Anything less than that will likely trigger litigation from the white supremacists who have already promised to hunt down schools that admit too many Black people, as determined by their own white-makes-right accounting system.

Harvard -- where, according to a study published in 2017, only four and a half per cent of the student body came from the bottom twenty per cent of the nations income earners and fifteen per cent of students came from families who make more than six hundred and thirty thousand dollars a year ... of course, did none of this and chose instead to chase an absurd and empty vision of diversity that allowed it to stay as exclusive as possible.

Getting Worse ... Lets see how things are going over at Quincy, the "bipartisan" "restraint" themed think tank that takes a lot of money from right wing billionaires and vomits forth a lot of garbage about forcing Ukraine to surrender: way past time to abandon this particular sinking ship. As for the Sacks its a predictably dumb stew of general idiocy with generous chunks of right-wing, pro-Russian talking points:

Partying with Kissinger - If you haven't read Chotiners devastating interview with Ted Koppel about how the Washington elite loves the mass murderer Kissinger, you must. There are a couple of good pieces about Kissinger's 100th birthday party. Who the fuck shows up for this in 2023? Too many people. ... That Samantha Power, USAID director and supposed human rights champion, and Tony Blinken, US secretary of state and supposed human rights champion, are unmitigated phonies and sanctimonious hypocrites is not a new revelation ...

Will the United State of the future be a true democracy, celebrating pluralism, with an aggressively proactive federal government? Or will it be an increasingly white Christian nationalist state with a dictatorial leader, where policy is auctioned off to powerful right-wing corporations?

Russia decided accidents at hazardous facilities would not be investigated shortly before blowing up Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant : worldnews
This does tend to suggest a coordinated strategy of dam destruction and defensive flooding, rather as the Nazis did in north-eastern France, Belgium and the Netherlands in 1944-45.
Through 07 June 2023, flood levels continued to rise in the lower Dnipro, following the collapse of the Kakhovka Dam, but will likely start to recede during 08 June 2023. Shelling has complicated some attempts to evacuate displaced civilians from inundated areas.
The dam was constructed during Soviet times in a way to prevent collapse by missiles or shelling or simple landmines. However, during Cold War Soviets designed such constructions with special mining sectors, where one could put explosives to blow it.
This is what the Kakhovka HPP and the flooded villages next to it look like now

Inside the Complicated Reality of Being America's Oldest President - President Biden is asking voters to keep him in the White House until age 86, renewing attention to an issue that polls show troubles most Americans.
On the one hand, the carpet in the living room should probably be replaced ... Thats a metaphor for this long, fundamentally perverse and bizarre NYT thumbsucker by Peter Baker et. al., about whether Joe Biden is too old to be re-elected president ... The insidious effect of this kind of journalism is that, once again, it normalizes Trump, and Trumps attempt to regain the presidency, by simply ignoring everything that is actually relevant to that development, in order to focus on what is, under these circumstances, the incredibly trivial question of Bidens age.

There's already a Fox and also Newsmax. The belief that CNN (Communist News Network) was alienating Real America by being too left wing was always ridiculous, but that hasn't stopped it being a constant belief not just of right wing operatives (like Alberta, who even as he is "scathing" of the current leadership also basically agrees with its given task), but of all those political journalists who never watch either but who believe, because their friends tell them, that "Fox is a bit right wing just like CNN is a bit left wing, The Same."

A thread with until now best videos of a drone attack on Moscow this morning. It is not clear who stands behind this attack. Ukraine has never attacked civilian targets before. As in this attack, a multistory house was hit, can be a Putins false flag. Two days ago, popular Russian bloggers with murky reputation simultaneously started to push a narrative, residential buildings attacks in 1999 were no way an FSB false flag attacks, but an attack by the Chechens (today it is the most solid version, in 1999 Putin organized the attacks to start his invasion of Chechnya). Is Putin disinformed/delusional? After the drone attack Putin claims Russia does not use the same means. : UkrainianConflict

Seven women say that a star columnist groped them or made unwanted sexual advances. But Britain news media has a complicated relationship with outing its own ... A prominent left-wing columnist, Nick Cohen, had resigned from Guardian News & Media, and Ms. Marriage had evidence that his departure followed years of unwanted sexual advances and groping of female journalists ... The British news media is smaller and cozier than its American counterpart, with journalists often coming from the same elite schools. Stringent libel laws present another hurdle. And in a traditional newsroom culture of drinking and gender imbalances, many stories of misconduct go untold, or face a fight ... One said Mr. Cohen had pressed his erection against her thigh and kissed her uninvited when they met to discuss her career ... There is so much sexism in a lot of British newspapers, and it seems, unfortunately, that many women believed sexual harassment was something you just had to put up with

Estimated Russian losses. : ukraine
Russian losses per 26/05/23 reported by the Ukrainian general staff.
Over the past two weeks, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been destroying Russian artillery at an average rate of 22 systems per day. When Ukraine's counter-offensive begins, the Russian invaders will be less able to respond with heavy fire.


(1/5) Over at least the last 20 years, Russia has experienced a proliferation of paramilitary groups out of its regular armed forces.
(2/5) However, this paramilitarisation has dramatically accelerated since Russias invasion of Ukraine and is particularly important in the Crimean Peninsula.
(3/5) The leader of Russian-occupied Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, has been instrumental in setting up several local units, which often claim affiliation with the Cossack tradition. Most have been given some semi-official status as reserve units of the regular army.

Phrase of the month: shaping operations.In the past two weeks our analysis of satellite data has detected 907 fires likely to be war-related in Russian-held territory in Ukraine. Thats more than four times as many as in the two weeks before

The History of Nepo Babies Is the History of Humanity | The New Yorker From ancient dynasties to modern fortunes, family has long defined our past, present, and future ... a new synthesis that, as the title suggests, approaches the sweep of world history through the familyor, to be more precise, through families in power ... Otto von Bismarck snidely called Saxe-Coburg, the home of Queen Victorias husband, Albert, the stud farm of Europe ... By the nineteenth century, European dynasts formed an incestuous thicket of cousins, virtually all of them descended from Charlemagne, and many, more proximately, from Queen Victoria. The First World War was the family feud to end them all. Triggered by the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, the heir of the Habsburg emperor Franz Josef, the war brought three first cousins into conflict: Kaiser Wilhelm II, Tsar Nicholas II, and King George V ... the Habsburgs, the Ottomans, the Romanovs, and the Hohenzollerns had all been ousted by 1922 ... dynasties play as persistent and paradoxical a role in many democracies as families do for many citizens of those democracies

Its Not Enough for Ukraine to Win. Russia Has to Lose ... But Putin cannot be seen in isolation from the Russian people, because he is in fact the collective unconscious of the Russian people ... the USSR and its sycophants in the East German communist party deliberately downplayed the role of ordinary East Germans in enabling the Nazis. It was politically convenient for them to foist all of the ills of Nazism onto the capitalist western successor state propped up by those fascist Americans, Britons and French. Muscovias problem is not an abstract country-problem, but a real people-problem ... Russia is not a nation. It is the empire with a metropoly ... Russians need to be reminded that their faltering economy is only a tenth the size of the EU's ...
To be brutal about it, we need to see masses of Russians fleeing, deserting, shooting their officers, taken captive, or dead. The Russian defeat must be an unmistakably big, bloody shambles. In other words, not an elegant ceasefire.

Eschaton: Nine Crooks No other way to interpret this. -- All nine justices, in a rare step, on Tuesday released a joint statement reaffirming their voluntary adherence to a general code of conduct but rebutting proposals for independent oversight, mandatory compliance with ethics rules and greater transparency in cases of recusal.
Eschaton: Supreme Crooks You don't actually have to think that "rich guys were bribing Supreme Court Justices," that all the money directly affected their rulings, to be horrified by all of this. Part of it is how they've been covered over the years, as a monastic order untouched by earthly desires.The myths around elite law are mostly ridiculous and it's time we stop pretending these people are part of a select group of supergenius Law Thinkers, that only a very tiny select caste are capable of the demands. Plenty of lawyers trained in the jargon, and the clerks do all the real work anyway.

Eschaton: Did You Guys Notice A reasonable question to ask is why, after Scalia died and the circumstances were known, journalists didn't follow that obvious trail. Are all these people just living large on the dime of rich people? Should people know about this? I suspect that when Tony croaked at the rich weirdo's hunting lodge, there was much panic, and I would be very surprised if some highly placed editors were not talked down from digging a bit more. I do think it is sinking in now, generally, that these people were not covered as they should have been covered, with never any hint at the possibility of corruption.

How Democrats across the country feel about Biden 2024 - The Washington Post They are lukewarm about picking Biden as their nominee, but many believe he may be the best hope of preventing a second Trump term and fighting extremism

Susan Rice to step down as Bidens domestic policy chief
Eschaton: Won't Be Missed - Every time there's some not merely bad but monstrous policy you can trace it back to Rice ... Rice regularly excoriates her colleagues, creating an abusive and dehumanizing environment according to one source, who spoke to The American Prospect on the condition of anonymity. The vitriol of the Rice-controlled workplace is something of an open secret, with previous reports filed about Department of Health and Human Services staff being yelled at in meeting after meeting.
Eschaton: Impact Journalism Amazing stuff ... The anti-trans obsession at The Times, which has largely been a serious of articles about the possible "dangers" of minors transitioning, has obviously been there to have an impact. One piece is a story, several is a crusade. Someone thinks this is bad and is going to keep publishing evidence-free JAQing off pieces until they have an impact! Well, they've had their impact.

No autopsy was performed because a medical examiner who never saw the body said he died of natural causes He was transported from the 5 star resort where he was staying for free to a funeral home 3 1/2 hours away for embalming, despite the fact that there were two funeral homes closer. Amazingly enough, that was the closest funeral home which disposes of all bodily fluids into the municipal sewage system, the others which were closer don't flush them so they could have been examined in an inquiry which is standard in cases of a death without a doctor present. Scalia was a sitting Justice of the Supreme Court and when his dead body was found, evidence was destroyed and there was no investigation. Sure.

Volodymyr Zelenskyi posted a video in honor of the anniversary of the liberation of Bucha:Bucha. 33 days of occupation. More than 1,400 deaths, including 37 children. More than 175 people were found in mass graves and torture chambers. 9,000 russian war crimes.
On this day on year ago, the Russian war effort in Ukraines North completely collapsed. The surviving Russian units were forced to abandon Kyiv, Chernihiv, Sumy and Zhytomyr regions. 33,000 square kilometers of Ukrainian soil were liberated within 48h. The victories were quickly followed by deep sorrow in the formerly occupied cities where many executed men, women and children were found in the streets, especially in Bucha.

(2/4) Efforts by both sides to neutralise their opponents counter-battery radars have been a constant element of the conflict. These systems are relatively few in number but are a significant force multiplier. They allow commanders to rapidly locate and strike enemy artillery.
(4/4) Regenerating counter-battery radar fleets is likely a key priority for both sides, but Russia will likely struggle because the systems rely on supplies of high-tech electronics which have been disrupted by sanctions.

Russians are using a civilian bridge used for regular car traffic near Donetsk to hide military equipment.

Granted the sheer amount of snow will also have similar impacts on the Ukrainian lines in these regions and neither side will really be able to exploit this and combat operations will be pretty minimal over the next several days. This storm has way more of an impact on Russian troops whose supply lines are way longer and as a result will have to clear a lot more roads and tracks before they can resume getting supplies to the front versus Ukraine, which has a lot less roads and rail to clear.

George W. Bush misrepresented our work at CIA to sell the Iraq invasion. Its time to call him what he is: A liar. (now try war criminal)
How many U.S. soldiers were wounded in Iraq? No one knows or seems to care - Press Watch ... But the wounded figure wildly understates the number of American servicemembers who suffered injuries, losses, and lifetime afflictions during the war that George W. Bush and Dick Cheney started based on lies.
The elite liberal(ish) case for invading Iraq ... an unpleasant trip down memory lane: worth noting that at this point by most of these dudes were not really even pretending that Iraq posed any material threat to the US. Instead, the arguments were mostly premised on dreams about how democracy could be created by force ex nihilo by, er, George W. Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, and some Heritage Foundation interns

Almost no reckoning with what they caused ... I'd be more forgiving if it wasn't the case that 20 years later, "support for the Iraq war" wasn't still an almost (not quite!) perfect indicator of whether someone is a complete asshole today.
How Start? - by John Ganz - Unpopular Front Reflecting on the War in Iraq ... Many of the nations journalists and writers gladly volunteered for that work. They set out to make sure an insane thing became common sense among the elite ... We went to war and killed hundreds of thousands for something that was just not real. If the jingoism, militarism, and bureaucratic machinery of the Bush era somehow fuses with the rowdy, populist hate-mongering of Trumpism, then the question of fascism will be settled: we will unambiguously have it
The real weapons of mass destruction are the enemies we made among the way : It is, I suppose, not surprising to see Bret Usually Wrong And Never in Doubt Stephens proclaim that he was correct to have supported the invasion of Iraq.

"Neoliberalism" is now part of the lefts lexicon, but I looked in vain to find it in the plain print of federal budgets, at least as far as aid to the poor was concerned ... Neoliberalismis now part of the lefts lexicon, but I looked in vain to find it in the plain print of federal budgets, at least as far as aid to the poor was concerned ... As a result, states have come up with rather creative ways to spend TANF dollars. Arizona has used welfare money to pay for abstinence-only sex education ... anti-abortion crisis-pregnancy centers ... Christian summer camp ... The primary reason for our stalled progress on poverty reduction has to do with the fact that we have not confronted the unrelenting exploitation of the poor in the labor, housing and financial markets ... Unwinding ourselves from our neighbors deprivation and refusing to live as enemies of the poor will require us to pay a price. Its the price of our restored humanity and renewed country.

Keeanu is rich and and famous, seems to have a nice life, isn't widely hated, and most importantly, doesn't have to worry about which person in his entourage is about to stab or poison him. The prize of becoming the mafia boss seems to be spending the rest of your life worrying about who is going to take a hit out on you. That kind of thing.

"Kill all Ukrainians including their babies" - Open Video Polling in Russia : UkrainianConflict

Over 200,000 Russian soldiers and more than 1,800 officers have been either killed or wounded since Russia's full-scale invasion of #Ukraine, Der Spiegel reported, citing the Supreme Allied Commander Europe, Christopher Cavoli.

Russia's population nightmare is going to get even worse - War in Ukraine has aggravated a crisis that long predates the conflict ... Over the past three years the country has lost around 2m more people than it would ordinarily have done, as a result of war, disease and exodus. The life expectancy of Russian males aged 15 fell by almost five years, to the same level as in Haiti. The number of Russians born in April 2022 was no higher than it had been in the months of Hitlers occupation. And because so many men of fighting age are dead or in exile, women outnumber men by at least 10m ... Russia may have had the largest covid death toll in the world after India and the highest mortality rate of all, with 850-1,100 deaths per 100,000 people ... if you look just at peacetime years, the number of births registered in April 2022 was the lowest since the 18th century ... making Russia a smaller, worse-educated and poorer country, from which young people flee and where men die in their 60s. The invasion has been a human catastrophe and not only for Ukrainians

I think the tenacious defense of Bakhmut achieved a great deal, expending RU manpower and ammunition. But strategies can reach points of diminishing returns, and given UA is trying to husband resources for an offensive, it could impede the success of a more important operation.
6/ Ukrainian forces are unlikely to withdraw from #Bakhmut all at once and may pursue a gradual fighting withdrawal to exhaust #Russian forces through continued urban warfare.

Russias offensive to capture Bakhmut will likely culminate whether its forces capture the city or not. The Russian military will likely struggle to maintain any subsequent offensive operations for some months, giving Ukraine a chance to seize the initiative.

Eschaton: Salute Thinking about the Iraq era, it's quite amazing the degree to which our glorious media outlets were aligned in catapulting the propaganda in various ways. I don't just mean the sales pitch on the Iraq war itself, I mean the whole post-9/11 rally-around-your-flag-and-president stuff. Hard to remember now, but pre-9/11 they were all settling on the narrative of, basically, George Bush is a big dunce and if anything bad happens we're pretty fucked, and then something really bad did happen and suddenly he was the glorious leader we all needed. Lots of ways "news" is corrupted by propaganda, constantly, but normally it isn't completely encompassing like it was then.

(1/5) Since 2014 Russia's strategic goal in Ukraine has highly likely been consistent: to control its neighbour. Over 2014-2021, it pursued this objective through subversion, by fomenting an undeclared war in the Donbas, and by annexing Crimea.
(2/5) On 24 February 2022, Russia pivoted to a new approach and launched a full-scale invasion which attempted to seize the whole country and depose its government
(4/5) In recent weeks, Russia has likely changed its approach again. Its campaign now likely primarily seeks to degrade the Ukrainian military, rather than being focused on seizing substantial new territory.

/r/WorldNews Live Thread: Russian Invasion of Ukraine Day 358, Part 1 (Thread #499) : worldnews

Ukraines General Staff puts estimations of Russia's tank losses at 3,296 as of 16 February. The @oryxspioenkop team, which is tracking the visually confirmed Russian losses of equipment, says 1,733 Russian tanks were destroyed, damaged, or captured.

Russias costly military campaign in #Ukraine has likely significantly depleted #Russian equipment and manpower reserves necessary to sustain a successful large-scale offensive in eastern Ukraine.

3/ Wallace estimated that Russia could have committed up to 97% of its army to the fight in Ukraine and that its combat effectiveness has decreased by 40 percent due to an almost First World War level of attrition that measures Russian advances in meters in human wave attacks.
5/ However, Wallaces observation that #Russia lacks sufficient mechanized combat power for a breakthrough aligns with previous ISW assessments that the Russian military must undergo significant reconstitution before regaining the ability to effectively conduct maneuver warfare.
6/ #Russias inability to regenerate expended mechanized vehicles in the short term further restricts Russian maneuver warfare capabilities.

Quite A Story From A Single Anonymous SourceSeymour Hersh published today, on his Substack, a long story about an involved plot by the United States to blow the Nordstream2 pipelines. No, Im not going to link. Its garbage. Over the past few years Hersh has argued that Osama bin Laden was not responsible for 9/11, and that Bashar al-Assad is not responsible for gassing his people. His venues have gone from the New Yorker to the London Review of Books to Substack.
Lets see. This supposedly involved CIA, US Navy and Norwegian military and was briefed in advance to Danish and Swedish officials. Thats a covert operation? All based on a single source who remains unnamed. Of course.
Musk and Sacks are diving headfirst into the Seymour Herch bullshit, blaming the U.S. for the NS incident with zero evidence. Musk is obviously on the Kremlins payroll

(4/4) Russian leaders will likely continue to demand sweeping advances. It remains unlikely that Russia can build up the forces needed to substantially affect the outcome of the war within the coming weeks.

Spain during World War II - Wikipedia
The Battle For Gibraltar | MI5 - The Security Service Spain was nominally neutral during World War II, though under General Franco's far-right Nationalist regime it was politically aligned with Nazi Germany. Spain did not actually join the Axis side but it collaborated with the Nazis in many areas. The Spanish intelligence service had a close working relationship with its German opposite number, the Abwehr ... After the war, Spain was not allowed to join the newly created United Nations because of the wartime support for the Axis, and Spain was isolated by many other countries until the mid-1950s.

The Battle For Gibraltar | MI5 - The Security Service In his account, Scherr also describes his first encounter with another of his Gibraltar agents: "Just as the interview I was having with another member of the public was drawing inconclusively to an end, I was called into the next room to cope with a most extraordinary visitor. This was a woman in her 30s whose dress, mannerisms, speech and general appearance made her a rather seedy but not unattractive imitation of the seductive female spy of the thrillerette type. She sat down in front of the office desk, crossed her legs, adjusting the hem of her dress to reveal them to the best advantage, slowly lit a cigarette, inhaling and breathing out the smoke in the approved furtive, reticent fashion, looking down her long and aquiline nose at the same time, and then smiled across at her interrogator-to-be and said, in cosmopolitan English, "I am the Queen of Hearts. Who are you?" ... Both men were hanged on 11 January 1944 by the veteran British hangman Albert Pierrepoint, who travelled undercover to Gibraltar to carry out the executions.

Cohen, then 77, a retired professor of Russian studies ... He also derided Democrats and American media organizations for demonization of Russian President Putin ... Cohen would go on to make the same argument in at least 160 Nation articles; more than a hundred talk radio show appearances; and on Russias state-owned international channel, Russia Today (RT) ,,, Cohen won praise from outlets such as Fox News and Breitbart ,,, making periodic appearances on Tucker Carlson Tonight ...

Losses of the russian army as of 28.01.2023 : ukraine

1/5) Russia highly likely suffered more than 300 casualties in a strike on troop accommodation at Makiivka near Donetsk City on 01 January 2023. We assess that the majority were likely killed or missing, rather than wounded.
(3/5) Russian officials likely assessed that it was not viable to avoid comment in the face of widespread criticism of Russian commanders over the incident.
(5/5) This typically comes about through a combination of deliberate lying authorised by senior leaders, and the communication of inaccurate reports by more junior officials, keen to downplay their failings in Russias blame and sack culture.

Very High Level Russian Officials Are Defecting; Agents, Generals And Wagner Commander Included
The dissolution of the Russian Federation is a far less dangerous than leaving it ruled by criminals. The invasion of Ukraine is a direct continuation of Russias imperial and colonial policies; policies that never disappeared ... We should be aware that Putin and his gang of war criminals are not the cause, but the consequence of the problem, the root of which is the authoritarian and imperial essence of Moscow and the phobias of the Okhrana, KGB or FSB, which captured the Russian state long ago. Russian imperialism has very deep roots.

NYT Opinion: Wagner founder Prigozhin amassed enough power in Russia to pose a potential challenge to Putin, prompting Putin's elevation of Gerasimov to supreme commander in Ukraine. But that places responsibility for Gerasimovs failures on the manwho appointed him.

How Barr's Quest to Find Flaws in the Russia Inquiry Unraveled - The review by John Durham at one point veered into a criminal investigation related to Donald Trump himself, even as it failed to find wrongdoing in the origins of the Russia inquiry.

This is really interesting
There are many explosive details in the reporting but this stands out as the worst to me. Durham receives a tip from the Italians about possible financial crimes by Trump. The tip gets leaked but in a way that makes it appear its directed at US intel officials. Unbelievable!
Worse, Barr tried to spin it as though the investigation was directed at Clinton or the FBI.
[The report] was more complexthe report detailed numerous links between the Russian government & the Trump campaign, & it established both how Moscow had worked to help Mr. Trump win and how his campaign had expected to benefit from the foreign interference.

For the quantitative metrics of we see an across-the-board growth in 2022: more trade, more military exercises, more deals in RMB etc. Ive summed it up in this thread. There is nothing to suggest that China changes course on Russia
China knows that its problems with the West are not rooted in Xis bromance with Putin, but in issues like rivalry, Taiwan, tech etc. Even if Xi drops Putin under the bus, ties with the U.S. will not structurally improve absent Chinas fundamental change
This gives a slight opening to drive a wedge betweenand capitalizing on other disputes between them, and delay cementation of anti-China tech coalition led by the U.S. thus buying Beijing the precious time of having access to European tech&money&markets
Bottom line: its clear why Beijing wants to portray itself distancing from Moscow, and why officials are ready to talk about it. Facts and figures, however, dont suggest there is any real U-turn of Chinese policy towards Russia.
