Bravo!

Spot on.

... and where are the offsprings of the career politicians in congress and senate and any admin members "defending freedom" at the frontline?

This is a necessary piece at the dawn of what could be the greatest test for humanity: are we ready to let a group of coward, corrupt and incompetent bruts lead the human race into oblivion or are we going to rise up immediately?Get off our phones and stop this nonsense now! This is the moment America, and citizens of the World. Rise up against warmongering now!

A sober set of facts. Thank you. This deserves to be read by all Americans.

You missed the one that made me crazy during the Vietnam Nam war: “America; Love It or Leave It!” The weaponization of patriotism during questionable wars has a long and rich history. My favorite brand of patriotism is to love your country enough to want to make it better. “In order to form a more perfect union. . .”

“Freedom isn’t free” is rhetorical Febreze. You spray it on top of a complex geopolitical mess, and suddenly it smells like bald eagles.

LOL!!

Fascinating piece @Carlynbeccia. I see some parallels with Bosnia's struggle for independence in the 1990s, which we cover in our latest Substack post, I thought it might be of interest!

None of it is free. Yet, Americans aren’t free from the changing paradigms that the United States no longer has any control over. Trump didn’t just order a hit on Iran. The U. S. is on life support for control and influence in the region of the Middle East. “Israel Is Goliath,” and if you read the articles embedded in this essay you will learn that other players in the Eastern, African, Asian world are hard at work extricating themselves from the virulence of the West that is too damned dumb to recognize it.
