Netanyahu is openly bragging that the Mossad can access anyone’s cellphone, plant evidence, and then portray that person as a monster. Worth keeping in mind when the Israeli military’s X account posts images of rocket launchers and copies of Mein Kampf in baby cradles and hospitals.

@David_Moscrop Nothing says potential Nobel laureate like shrugging off America threatening to annihilate Iran as nothing more than 'speaking the language of war'

@GoodAtBingo @avilewis Yes, hundreds of investors representing trillions answered prime minister Goldman Sachs' call to come to Toronto, but they only came for the free baseball tickets. You are an idiot

@GoodAtBingo @avilewis Selling off national assets to a hostile foreign power that lays off Canadian workers isn't being competitive, bootlicker

You cannot arm one side of a war, fund its military, publicly declare yourself its ally, and then call yourself a neutral mediator.

Lavrov just said this directly to Rubio's face. And Rubio had no answer.

That's why the "peace talks" keep going nowhere. Washington is not trying to mediate but trying to win while pretending to negotiate.

Lavrov raised this exact contradiction with Marco Rubio. When he asked whether the U.S. was prepared to stop being a partisan supporter of Ukraine and become an honest broker, Rubio had nothing to say.

And if diplomacy becomes another way to buy time while the fighting continues, then Russia would prefer to achieve its objectives at the negotiating table, but if that fails, it will pursue them on the battlefield.

ON CLASS AND WAR

People like Meaghan Mobbs, a representative of the American establishment, cannot understand why I defend Ukrainian working-class men against forced conscription.

Let me explain.

I was born into a working-class family.
I grew up in a village.

My father worked as a driver, a builder, and a construction worker. Now he has cancer. And a pension of 80$ per month.

My mother, in the brutal post-Soviet 1990s, traveled to Russia to sell products made by our local glass factory just to keep our family fed. Hauling those heavy loads destroyed her back. She suffered from spinal hernias for the rest of her life. She died of cancer at 60.

We lived in a village, in a house without indoor plumbing. While other kids went to art classes and extracurricular activities, I worked in the fields because my family had to do it to survive.

All my life, I dreamed of escaping poverty and getting an education. Fight for change.

And now that I am a mother to a son, I am not prepared to sacrifice him to a war while the Mindiches, Zuckermans, Zelenskys, and others count their money — while my son is expected to fight in a war they refuse to bring to an end.

And there are many Mothers, Sisters, and Daughters like me. Hundreds of thousands of us. Millions.

Among them are my own relatives who have lost their husbands. They were ordinary working men without university degrees. They did not have the money or connections to buy their way out when the draft officers came for them.

Now they lie in the cold, damp earth.

We are tired of graves.

We are tired of being told to surrender the most precious — and ultimately the only — thing Ukraine’s corrupt political class has left us: Our Lives.

This war has a class dimension that establishment voices would rather not discuss.
Those with money, connections, influence, foreign passports, and powerful friends have options. Working-class men have far fewer.

And then the privileged have the audacity to lecture working-class families about sacrifice.

No.

That is why I will continue to defend ordinary people's right to resist forced conscription. I will defend the people who refuse to become expendable bodies for a political class that demands sacrifices it so often does not make itself.

Glory to the Deserters!
Glory to Peace!
Glory to Life!

The photo was taken in my son’s room in Lviv before the war. A room he will probably never return to.

@McFaul You are fucking delusional. Academic freedom means nothing if, instead of speaking truth to power, you carry water for it

@dannydanon You are lucky you still have all of your teeth, you baby-killing piece of shit

@caitoz I'm sure he neglected to mention that the apartheid state is all but certainly responsible for the lion's share of those deaths

@mgeist He went to hear a speech at an arts centre being given by a war criminal, not to attend a synagogue service, you vile genocide apologist
