P, COCK ..burn... whose main aim it seems has been to write off the Russians strengths & Putin in particular (& I AM NO FAN OF PUTIN!)
writes (April 4, 2022 on C-P ) a more balanced " Putin is Being Written Off as an Ineffectual Monster, but a Russian Defeat is Far From Guaranteed "
.." there are a growing number of politicians and pundits willing to fight to the last Ukrainian to defeat the Russian bear.
" .and his last para bears repeating " greater condemnation of similar crimes in Aleppo, Gaza, Raqqa, Sanaa, Mosul and a myriad of places in Afghanistan. But somebody will always stick up their hand and say that this is “how about-ism” – a silly argument which has become a hypocrites’ charter. It is also against common sense: would anybody argue that publicising a murder in Lancashire somehow devalues the vileness of a murder in Kent. Yet at the height of the bombing of Ukraine, a raft of US Senators want to do just that by closing down an investigation into Israel’s bombing of Gaza. "

on April 4, 2022; Afghan Evacuees Still Lack a Clear Path for Resettlement in the U.S., 7 Months After ... USAcorp withdrawal//
Since the withdrawal, approximately 84,600 Afghans were evacuated but estimated that thousands of Afghans vulnerable to the Taliban have been left behind.
Afghanistan produced the second-largest number of refugees in the world, topping 2.6 million. The largest refugee crisis comes from 11 years of war in Syria.
Following the Soviet Union invasion in 1979, the majority of Afghan refugees have fled to Iran and Pakistan.
Since then, ongoing civil war and violence as well as the U.S. invasion in 2001 prompted more people to seek refuge in these countries.
As humanitarian needs in Afghanistan now grow, Afghans continue to cross into these countries.....evacuation of Afghan refugees in 2021
was the largest evacuation effort in U.S. history since the 1975 Operation New Life, when 110,000 Vietnamese refugees were evacuated to Guam after the fall of Saigon.//
UNsub> & USAcorp got its arse kicked by the Vietcong///...
nine U.S. refugee resettlement agencies designated to welcome and support refugee arrivals have struggled to assist the large number of Afghans
because of limited staff and continued funding shortages... during the Trump administration, there were severe cuts to the number of refugees allowed
& for refugee spending. Afghan evacuees continue to face legal and logistical challenges in their long-term resettlement process.
FOR Afghans who fear to return to their home countries as either refugees or, less often, asylum recipients...allowed legally work and to eventually gain citizenship.
..legal pathways to stay permanently are complicated. Some are recipients of special Visas for those who worked closely with the U.S. military (benefits like work permits and a clear pathway to becoming citizens...)
UNsub>Typical USAcorp
The majority received humanitarian parole – valid for up to two years.
On March 16, 2022, Biden administration also announced that Afghans already living in the U.S.A///.. would receive Temporary Protected Status.
This gives Afghans legal work permits, but only lasts for 18 months.
in Afghanistan, About 95% of Afghans are not getting enough to eat, according to the United Nations.
There are at least 78,000 special immigrant visa applicants who remain stranded in Afghanistan, waiting for their visas to be processed.
Since July 2021, there have also been 43,000 Afghans outside of the U.S. who have submitted humanitarian parole applications –
which cost $575 each – to enter the U.S.A//...To date, the U.S. has approved parole for only 170 applicants.

UNsub> & YOU need to go green-extreme!!! , wherever you are, arguably a bigger Risk to Humanity than beng NUKED!!!
In the mid-2000s, TV documentary featuring former Vice President Al Gore, “An Inconvenient Truth,” alerted that human activity was drastically altering the environment,
organizers like Mateo Nube heard the warning & In 2006, Nube and his colleagues co-founded the Movement Generation Justice and Ecology Project
.. a hub for strategic organizing efforts through workshops, retreats and campaign development.//,,,& spin off orgs /// ..
which all have their frameworks based in the philosophy and practices of a just transition. ... the process of shifting from an extractive economy to a regenerative economy.
Nube> "...One key strategy is to relocalize, workshops. ...../// found that they were reaching thousands instead of hundreds of people. ......
and all other environmental crises humanity currently endures were created by outdated economic systems and attitudes founded in racism and exploitation,
//..enforced with violence..... in the mainstream environmental movement is to think of conservation as something that is outside the influence of human systems.
.. You can’t disconnect one from the other,”
Nube is still baffled by critics who think that he and his peers are unrealistic in their worldview. “It’s very clear that if we don’t make a pivot, life systems [will] collapse. This concept of endless growth and speculation as a form of wealth creation that somehow sustains itself over the arc of time is an illusory reality, and is on a fast track to collapse.”
..wary of the fascist movements emerging around the world, and the way that fear is used on a large scale to manipulate populations, but he still remains hopeful that more people will learn what a just transition means and will decide to do the necessary work to change society and protect the environment.
“only we can cap all the oil wells, and tear up all the concrete, and repurpose and regrow healthy soil. //......we should have started yesterday, but nevertheless, we can get it done,” says Nube. “It will be hard, but hard and bad are not the same thing.
The future will be hard. It’s on us to ensure that it’s not bad.” ( article was produced by Local Peace Economy, a project of the Independent Media Institute.)
UNsub> a too familar comment ...NUBE ... WE SHOULD HAVE STARTED much before "yesterday" .."KYOTO" was about THIRTY years ago...as your GOVT INCREASES destruction, and the world is filled by plastic & concrete POLLUTION of our LAND, AIR, water , SEAs, FOOD and MINDS of children....whilst

I stand up, put my hand on my heart, pledge allegiance to the flag. // our president’s latest budget proposal, which includes $813 billion for “national defense” — pushing the Pentagon budget’s already record-setting enormity further into outer space — and I feel myself collapse (yet again) into nothingness.
Why, why, why, as our ecosystem collapses, as millions of refugees flee the horrors of war and poverty,//( etc)
, as the planet trembles, does ever-expanding, global militarism remain our primary national purpose?"
UNsub> because///,, the old song " when WILL THEY EVER learn ? " lyrics still ring true//..you keep giving power to the few and wonder why why they SCREW YOU?????
" Every year I hear the voice of George W. Bush, telling the American public — telling me — not to worry: “Just go shopping.”

UNsub> YES!!

quotes
BY MELVIN GOODMAN ( APRIL 5, 2022; Albright and Clinton: Two Peas in the Pod of “Liberal Interventionism” )
“If we have to use force, it is because we are America. We are the indispensable nation. We stand tall. We see further into the future.”
– Madeleine Albright, 1998.
“Madeleine understood that American power is the only thing standing between the rules-based global order and the rule of the sword.”
– Hillary Clinton’s obituary for Albright, 2022.
“For the defense industry, happy days are here again.”
– Loren Thompson, a consultant for Boeing, General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, and Raytheon Technologies, 2022.
“Power always thinks it has a great soul and vast views beyond the comprehension of the weak; and that it is doing God’s service when it is violating all his laws.”
– John Adams to Thomas Jefferson, 1801.
" Albright and Clinton also represent the tragedy of NAmericanT foreign policy, which is the militarization of our national security orientation in the wake of the dissolution of the Soviet Union....If the 1999 bombing of Belgrade was “Madeleine’s War,” then the 2011 bombing of Libya was Hillary’s. Substitute Clinton for Albright; Tripoli for Belgrade; Muammar Qadhafi for Slobodan Milosevic; and the Libya rebels for the Kosovar Albanians, then you have history repeating itself. The one constant is the anger of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who believed that NATO’s bombing of Belgrade was an international crime, and that Secretary of State Clinton lied to him about Washington’s objectives in Libya, which culminated in regime change...."
(Albright)..“What’s the point of having this superb military that you’re always talking about if we can’t use it.” Hartung, predicted in 1999 that the bombing of Belgrade would “spark a sort of postmodern cold war, in which Russia seeks ways to act against U.S. interests to assert its independence on the world stage and to assuage nationalist resentments at home.” AND.. suggested that a pretext for using force against Iraq’s Saddam Hussein might be flying a U-2 reconnaissance low to the ground and eliciting a surface-to-air missile attack from Iraq. ,,
Melvin A. Goodman> "Sadly, there are few prominent political figures willing to challenge the conventional wisdom on (USAcorp) national security and the resort to the use of force. ... the defense, intelligence, and homeland security components of the (USAcorp) budget have become increasingly dominant. It has been said that Prussia was a state owned by its army. If you take into account America’s “civilian army” of contractors, consultants, and policymakers, could the same be said for the United States? ( Goodman is the national security columnist for counterpunch.org. )
WILLIAM ASTORE> (is a retired lieutenant colonel (USAF) and professor of history) ; " When it comes to weapons, budgets, and war, the military-industrial complex’s philosophy is captured by an arch comment of the legendary actress Mae West: “Too much of a good thing can be wonderful.” ..//...(Indeed, during the ongoing wall-to-wall coverage of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, North Korea did test a ballistic missile, an event a distracted media greeted with a collective shrug.) " in the early days of the Cold War bomber and missile “gaps” were falsely said to be endangering our security..."
"Consider the ongoing “modernization” of our nuclear arsenal, at a projected cost approaching $2 trillion over the coming decades. As a jobs program, as well as an advertisement of naked power, it may yet rival the Egyptian pyramids. (Of course, the pyramids became wonders of the world rather than threatening to end it.).While a young captain in the Air Force, I lived through the fall of the Berlin Wall, the collapse of the Soviet Union, and a romping, stomping performance by our military in the first Gulf War against Iraq in 1991. It felt great! I was teaching history at the Air Force Academy when President George H.W. Bush talked of a “new world order.” In the aftermath of the Civil War, as well as World Wars I and II, rapid demobilization and a dramatic downsizing of the military establishment had occurred.!!!!!!!!"
"(USAcorp)" didn’t just “contain” the Soviet empire during the Cold War; that empire also contained us. With its main enemy in tatters and facing virtually no restraint to its global ambitions, the military-industrial complex promptly began to search for new realms to dominate and new enemies to contain and defeat. Expansion, not shrinkage, soon became the byword, whether in Asia, Africa, or Europe, where, despite promises made to the last of the Soviet Union’s leaders, NATO’s growth took the lead."..“If the Soviet Union was an anemic tiger, Russia is more like a circus tiger that may growl but won’t bite,” .. Tell that to the people of Ukraine in 2022."
"For the military-industrial complex, expansion was simply too lucrative to pass up.. more money, profits, and jobs, as Eastern European militaries retooled with weaponry from the West, .. What mattered was more: more countries in NATO, meaning more weapons sold, more money made, more influence peddled. ...hardheaded hawks like Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Paul Wolfowitz were already hatching their plans for a policy of complete unipolar dominance empowered by a kick-ass military. Their time came with George W. Bush & accelerated by 9/11 the following year..NAmericaNT’s New Normal Is War"
" Your normal is only reflected in the Biden administration’s staggering $813 billion Pentagon budget proposal for the next fiscal year... .. this nation owed me (and today’s troops as well) one very big thing: not to waste my life; ... leaders should wage war only as a last, not a first, resort and only in defense of our most cherished ideals...
So, what would it take for the Pentagon budget to shrink? .. Witnessing murderous and disastrous wars hasn’t been enough... only a full-scale collapse of the U.S. economy might truly shrink that budget and that would be a Pyrrhic victory for (ALL!) people..., we have become George Orwell’s Oceania, where war is peace, surveillance is privacy, and censorship is free speech... Such is the fate of a people who make war and empire their way of life.""

UNsub> the other yankers LOVE writing Whilst DOING nothing to remove madmen from USAcorp MEd1A/govt???
MICHAEL T. KLARE claims to know ; Why Russia Fumbled in Ukraine, China Lost Its Way, and America Should Exercise Restraint
"............"
UNsub> was going to add some of KLARE;s expert comment,...but cant see any, so far...(apart from another history "lesson")
(Lenin said, “it must be concluded that such a policy would perhaps respond to the needs of mankind to strive for the beautiful, the spectacular, and the striking, but that it would be totally disregarding the objective correlation of class forces and material factors at the present stage of the socialist revolution already begun.” ) also excluding the USAcorp/C1A involvement in those quoted times..oh...here it is;
"the Reagan Doctrine. Huge quantities of munitions were given to the mujahideen and rebels like the Contras in Nicaragua, usually via secret channels set up by the C1A.. "Washington never considered the implications of arming Arab volunteers under the command of Osama bin Laden or allowing him to create an international jihadist enterprise, “the base” (al-Qaeda),
UNsub> the C1A invented the name ; (al-Qaeda)
"Putin’s Ukraine Miscalculations...a newly energized U.S.-NATO alliance determined to assist Ukrainian forces with vital (if limited) arms supplies, while isolating Russia in the world arena. More troops are now being deployed to Poland and other “front-line” states facing Russia, putting its long-term security at even greater risk. And perhaps most damaging to Moscow’s geopolitical calculations, Germany has discarded its pacifist stance, fully embracing NATO and approving an enormous increase in military spending."..bla blah.. (repeating the USAcorp PR_opaganda, true or fake..no one knows unless they are truly INvolved! ; "We also know " (?) that Putin’s top intelligence officials fed him inaccurate information about the political and military situation in Ukraine..."
UNsub> this is obviously a "KLARE ASSumption" ! :p
"China’s Faulty Assessments" ..." despite claims to Taiwan, they have so far avoided any direct move to seize it by force and risk a full-scale encounter with potentially superior(?) (UScorp) forces...blah blah..." China didn’t even evacuate thousands of its own nationals from Ukraine... . “The Taliban’s stunningly swift takeover of Afghanistan has shown the world that (UScorp) competence in dominating major power games is crumbling.” Biden reportedly warned President Xi Jinping of “the implications and consequences” for China if it “provides material support to Russia.” Presumably, this could involve the imposition of “secondary sanctions” on Chinese firms accused of acting as agents for Russian companies or agencies.
UNsub> BIDEN IS a MORE RON... sanctions push USAcorp enemies together!
" ... fears of China’s rise. ... distinctly diminished Russia. .. largely cut off from the Western world and condemned to perpetual backwardness...... Washington pundits and politicians, still dreaming of the U.S. as the unparalleled power on planet Earth, — — is a genuine danger..."
UNsub> SO what ELSE is new? ; USAcorp with Nukes is comparable to giving a 5 year old child a loaded machine pistol!
the "american dream" is OUR global NIGHTmare.. and this article said nothign new...

SONALI KOLHATKAR asks Is housing a human right?

with its accompanied WAR-biz, big pharma peddling "legal drugs" & OIL/industrial/traffic polltion of your pl anet
YOU (global sheeple) gave away your rights ..to have HUMANITY;s basics; home, food & "A LIFE"..
Kotlikoff (“are wasting too much money on housing,” ) has a point BUT not for his reasons... there should be a CAP on property profit after construction... because unless YOU are going to agree with my PROPOSAL of global INSURRECTION..
you are stuck in the ensalved prison of their "game of THORNS" ..because its the sheeple that PERPETUATE inflation in property which inflates the cost of everythign else.. (more than even dirty stinking OOIL dependency does!)
"at some point, rents will increase so much that people will stop being able to rent altogether, which will then lead to lower rents. Some day. Maybe...." federal government has enabled what she called “speculative behavior” in the housing market." "Instead of helping people remain in their homes, the government sold many of these foreclosed properties to Wall Street investment firms at deep discounts."
UNsub> who puts GOVT in power? ..SHEEPLE!!!!!!
" government officials and lawmakers are being pushed to embrace the idea long championed by housing rights activists, that “Housing is a human right.”...? ..."a major shift in thinking that has yet to inform government policy or percolate into the corporate media’s world view." ...“public housing has been underfunded for decades,” a new report “provide $1 trillion over ten years to fund the construction of 12 million new social and public housing units.”
UNsub> who really is PUSHING??? "major shift" ??? whilst there are commendable efforts in this article ; the "democratic gots" are controlled by (amongst others) constructors, rather than removate the millions of peroperties WORLDWIDE or OCCUPY the EMPTY properties seen everywhere..the sheeple WAIT...& wait , and wait for "someone to save them " via a "new report" etc etc blah blah blah,...
"the current housing crisis disproportionately impacts people of coloUr and women, (dont women have COLOUR?) Finland has pioneered a “social housing” program, (its a success, apparently) Ilhan Omar has reintroduced a bill that invests $1 trillion into the (USAcorp) housing system. ... (VIA) ..Her “Homes for All” act,,
UNsub> watch the corporate sharks either block the act or find a way to exploit it...because the sheeple dont fight them!
> the soft left-pink at C-P are wetting themselves that Bidens govt may attempt to apply a new (wealth) tax ..
(article BY SAM PIZZIGATI 5th april..) based on advocating for a democratic “commonwealth” that shared the wealth, (" society that freed all people from domination both political and economic.” ) .... new Biden tax proposal would apply to those with over $100 million. (USAcorp) ’s richest 0.01 percent — would pay an annual tax of at least 20 percent on their taxable income. But included in that taxable income would be any increase in the value of liquid assets — stocks and bonds, for instance — that top 0.01 percenters might own. — currently go totally untaxed until decide to sell these assets off. That gives “ultra-high-net-worth households,” the ability to have their gains “go untaxed for decades or generations. A FIREFIGHTER pays a higher percentage tax than most (USAcorp) billionaires!! ”
