@poptime MORE POWER TO HER! So sick of the DEI apologizing for doing nothing at all wrong. People are allowed to have authentic reactions to things. STFU POPTime and proponents of "she was so insensitive".
@saamagni@ggreenwald@fluxus2 Just remember that the word is pronounced exactly as it is written: anti-sem-MITTICK, not anti-sem-METTICK . Otherwise you are 100% right and thank you.
Operation Rolling Thunder.
From 1965 to 1968, the United States conducted a sustained bombing campaign against North Vietnam.
The goal was to break the will of the North Vietnamese government and people.
To make the cost of continuing the war too high to bear.
They dropped 864,000 tons of bombs.
The will was not broken.
So they escalated.
Operation Linebacker.
Operation Linebacker II, the Christmas Bombings of 1972: twelve days of around-the-clock bombing of Hanoi and Haiphong, described by some U.S. generals as trying to "bomb them back to the Stone Age."
Hospitals were hit.
Residential areas were hit.
Bạch Mai Hospital, the largest hospital in North Vietnam, was hit repeatedly.
After the Christmas Bombings, the North Vietnamese negotiating position at the Paris Peace talks did not weaken.
It strengthened.
They bombed us into refusing to surrender.
Every bomb that fell on a hospital, every family killed in their home, every village erased from the map created ten more people who would die before they accepted foreign domination.
This is what American strategists, with all their degrees and all their think tanks and all their war games, failed to understand about the people they were trying to break.
You cannot bomb dignity out of people who have decided they would rather die than give it up.
The fucking audacity these people have.
They spend years vaporizing innocent people that they regard as sub-human, incinerating and starving entire families, starting wars, and then think the world will see them as pity-inducing victims the minute anyone fights back.
@ggreenwald@Badopinions4 Your last video contemplating the Iraq quagmire and the emergence of Friedman Units then was vivid reminder how corporatist media covered war & how American pols like Joe Lieberman kept insisting "The Surge" will end it. Thank you for your timeline analysis.
@ggreenwald@morbaram@YiftachDayan Thank you for no quarter against irrational push back on your conclusions we (US) are losing this war. Your last video so epic on how traumatized US is even contemplating we aren't winning every war we enter, how we spoonfeed on propaganda.
@ggreenwald Signif, disquieting video Glenn— Reflecting how Iraq War caused you to leave law, go into journo— how naive you felt thinking after Iraq it would be imposs for US to again be duped into another elective war on false pretenses—yet here we are w/ Bibi & Trump in Iran. WATCH IT!
@ggreenwald Signif video Glenn— Reflecting how Iraq War caused him to leave law, go into journo— how naive he feels thinking after Iraq it would be imposs for US to again be duped into another elective war on false pretenses—yet here we are w/ Bibi & Trump https://t.co/9nYmJTXS94
@a_newsman Very significant video from Glenn— reflecting on how the Iraq War caused him to leave law, go into journo— how naive he feels now thinking that after Iraq it would be imposs for US to again be duped into another elective war on false pretenses— yet here we are w/ Bibi & Trump **
@AC360 HOW PATHETIC - Multi-million $ studio and desperate CNN trying to play "podcaster" thinking visible desktop mics and paper maps will "bring in the kids". Shame.
