WOW!

Today Smith tried to perpetuate her spin on what duty to consult means and how it applies...

And Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew was having NONE of it!

[Nora Loreto @NoLore]

Everything coming from Kinew these days is showing that his time in Canadian politics is still yet to come. He's quickly becoming one of the most credible politicians in Canada.

🎥 ⭕️ Why does the U.S. keep repeating the same foreign policy mistakes?

@RyanGrim:
After Iraq, how did the United States once again miscalculate so badly with Iran? Why does the system fail to learn lessons?

@ChrisLynnHedges:
“It’s ideologically driven. So all of the Heritage Foundation, all of these think tanks are funded by the war industry. And that’s how you resurrect the same people.

I was overseas for 20 years as a reporter, I dealt with Elliott Abrams during the war in El Salvador. And Robert Kagan, who was his deputy.

And they never go away, even though they’re wrong about everything. Because they’re shills for the people who make money from war. They don’t know anything.“

Rubio now full Orwellian: the total blockade that we have put on your country after decades of an embargo has nothing to do with the scarcity in your lives or the fact that we are intentionally starving your children.

Hungary’s PM-elect Peter Magyar says he would enact an ICC arrest warrant for Israeli PM Netanyahu and detain him on arrival.

The PM-elect said Hungary would stay a member of the International Criminal Court which his predecessor Viktor Orban began withdrawing from last year.

Brazilian president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has described the five permanent members of the UN Security Council as “Lords of War.”

He called on them to stop acting like “emperors” and waging war on poorer countries.

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

Wait I thought it was about nuclear capability, the Iranian people rising up, and opening the Strait of Hormuz? The more this admin clarifies objectives, the less clear this insane war becomes.

The Nuestra América Convoy is underway.

Today, the first delegation departs for Cuba 🇨🇺, bringing critical humanitarian aid for the island's people.

The most dangerous phase of war is rarely the beginning

It is the middle phase, when leaders believe backing down would signal weakness and escalation becomes easier than stopping

The opening moves of the Iran war are already behind us

The real question is whether the conflict is already sliding into the Escalation Trap.

[Robert A. Pape @ProfessorPape]

Iran is not losing. It is gaining power. Since Feb 28, Iran has exported over 10 million barrels of oil, earning a $1 billion or more—as price of oil has soared, and shock waves hit the region and western economies.

Honoring Berta Cáceres, 10 yrs later
In these times of extreme US-led, Western violence & aggression

On March 2, 2016, Berta was assassinated because of all she opposed & fought against, and all that she worked & struggled for

We remember & honor her:

“To me, what stood out was Mark Carney — who we praised a lot. He stood up at Davos and said the international order was broken because it only worked for powerful countries... And I think what’s really disappointing about his statement is I guess he was only talking about trade. I guess we don’t care if the United States just goes around bombing countries with impunity.”

— Ben Rhodes (@brhodes), former Obama deputy national security adviser, on allied governments’ response to U.S. strikes on Iran

Rhodes also criticized the E3 (UK, France, Germany) and Australia for issuing statements that either endorsed Washington’s actions or hid behind diplomatic word salad — avoiding any direct challenge to Trump’s expanding use of force.

🚨 Marco Rubio Is Deliberately Blocking Trump From Cuba Talks

The Secretary of State has told the president that talks are happening with high-level Cuban officials. No such talks exist. Purported negotiations in Mexico? Actual fake news.

With a 30-day state of emergency, Guatemalan President Bernardo Arévalo is not channeling Bukele, an expert writes. But the country's compromised justice system makes this a dangerous moment that threatens lasting consequences.
