The UN is useless. I'm sure that you remember the Minsk accords unanimously approved by the UN Security Council almost ten years ago that would have ended the Ukrainian civil war long, long ago. Instead I could see the reports of shelling Donetsk and Lugansk, and see long trains of tanks coming to Eastern Ukraine a year before the DPR and LPR finally asked Russia for help with Biden finally turning this back into a hot, deadly, destructive war.

Does the UN ever do anything meaningful and productive?

Remember, Nuland cackled that Putin should expect "surprises". Looks like Nuland, Zelensky, and the US will be doing what they love best - killing civilians. I predicted Zelensky would get desperate and ugly - well, even more desperate and ugly - and yep.

Got a (basically fundraising) email yesterday about standing with Bernie on Gaza. The days are long gone when I would stand with Bernie on anything at all, because it is all just pandering rhetoric now, trying to milk some more votes and dollars for the Dems. I donated a nice unsubscribe to them.

I read that the company that chartered that ship the hit the bridge wanted to, or succeeded in, making a law that whistleblowers were required to report problems to the corporation first, so they could investigate them at their leisure. Basically making whistleblowing against the law. Something like that.

With regard to the Francis Scott Key Bridge debacle, the smart thing of course would have been to have a tug boat escort large tankers to prevent the collision. But that would have cost corporations money. This way more corporations can make money.

One day I expect the US/GB to let Julian Assange go free directly into a mental hospital.

I wouldn't buy a used car from Governor Gavin Newsom

Don't under estimate the ability of Israel to get Trump to do their bidding. They most likely have copies of embarassing video tapes.

Most likely there are “reasonable grounds” to conclude that Israel has committed 7 out of 5 acts classified under the UN Genocide Convention as genocide.

'Genocide Joe' Biden and Benjamin 'Unhinged' Netanyahu are both joined at the hip. There are in too deep. There is no turning back. Both know they are facing the docket at another Nuremberg trial for crimes against humanity like Goering, Himmler, Eichmann et.al. The immediate danger comes from Netanyahu who is a threat to anyone or any nation that tries to stop him in his genocidal mission.
