@anyaparampil Thousands of Venezuelans died in the earthquakes, Americans of conscience must prioritize unfreezing the assets that our government stole from the people of Venezuela
As Americans, it's our most basic responsibility to do that, and its very urgent

Once you try to destroy countries around you and even across entire continents — don’t be surprised when your targets start forming alliances.
Washington spends decades choking a country’s trade, banking and access to basic goods — then turns around and asks why its economy is struggling.
That is what the US did to Cuba, and it tried the same playbook with Iran.
But this time, the West has encountered countries large and powerful enough to resist together.
The republic is in danger. @netanyahu is on way to Washington, apparently to demand that more Americans die doing his will by warring against #iran. @potus/@realDonaldTrump needs to remember that his job is to represent Americans, not a foreign government. https://t.co/n7SbhrR4xZ
Bizarrely, the Rubio State Department has made its war on the ICC a priority. The benefactor is Israel.
The first countries that will surrender to this pressure are the vassal states....
‘For most of my life, I felt that we did not need a third party because we had an option. You could vote Republican. You could vote Democrat’
‘What I have realized with age ... on the big questions, the ones that really matter — economics and foreign policy, who gets rich, who do we bomb — the parties are in TOTAL alignment’

Geopolitics expert Alexander Mercouris on Ukraine losing its export lifeline:
“Ukraine’s position as an exporter has gone... As a result, Europe has lost access to cheap grain from Ukraine. And it’s going to result in higher food prices in Europe.”
BREAKING: An upcoming "super" El Niño is expected to wipe out $3.1 trillion from the global economy.
The last time an El Niño this strong hit, in 1876-78, it triggered a global famine that killed more than 50 million people, including 9.5 million in China and 6.1 million in India.
Experts say the same death toll isn't likely to repeat today.
But the underlying weather pattern is the same one: drought across large parts of Asia, heavy destructive rains across South America, hitting harvests on two continents at once.
PIIE estimates the last comparable modern event, the 1997-98 Super El Niño, would cause $686 billion in immediate global losses if it repeated today.
Africa alone is projected to lose $10-20 billion this time, according to the African Development Bank, with maize prices expected to double as crops fail across the continent.
India, the world's largest rice exporter, is bracing for its weakest monsoon in over a decade, a monsoon that normally supplies 70% of the country's total rainfall.
When the world's biggest rice exporter grows less rice, rice gets more expensive everywhere, landing on a world where food and energy prices are already elevated from the ongoing war.
@TheCradleMedia He makes no concessions toward peace ever and still wants Americans to die fighting the wars israel starts? With greatest allies like that who needs enemies?
Israel signed a US-brokered agreement to withdraw from southern Lebanon. It is now shelling the same villages it agreed to hand over, bulldozing farmland, and razing olive trees.
ISRAEL SUFFERS FROM A SEVERE TRUST DEFICIT.

In the merging of the US and Israeli military forces, it is quite clear that the President of the United States SHALL be the SOLE executive authority. This in turn, mandates that Israel must relinquish 100% of its nuclear weapon capabilities, or it may NOT be, in any way, “integrated” into the United States command structure.
The US Constitution bitch slaps anyone who says otherwise.
@OunkaOnX My money says he’ll never show up in New York. They’ll invent an excuse last minute that he would if he could—just like he dodges court back home.
Netanyahu: "I will come to New York for the UN General Assembly. I am not concerned about anything."
He knows the only court that matters is the one in Washington.
And he's already bought the judges.
With the viral footage of Lindsay Graham bragging about how he convinced Trump to attack Iran, and how Trump “loves to blow things up”, there are a couple takeaways that I find notable.
First… if you want people to not trash you when you’re dead, don’t be trash while you’re alive.
Second… we have a President incredibly susceptible to influence. Both foreign and domestic. This should be significant cause for concern given the precarious and volatile situation in the Iran War.
At a time when the world is at risk of a significant economic crisis, a significant humanitarian crisis, and on the verge of an escalation that could see thousands and thousands killed, having a President so easily manipulated should make everyone question the durability of any peace deal… if one can even be reached at all.
As we saw during the first MOU, the U.S. and Iran were able to make a deal, only for Trump to promptly rip it up and return to war, heavily influenced by those around him that yearn for the Iran War to continue.
The ease of manipulation will be cause for concern for Iran, who continues to see Trump as someone unable to be trusted to see a deal through to its end.
This could very well see Iran incentivized to take the global economy off the cliff FIRST so that Trump is left without the ability to resume the war even if goaded into it because it would immediately create a crisis. Not a potential one, not a future one, but an immediate collapse.
This is the danger of a President so easily manipulated.
Tomorrow is Lindsey Graham's funeral.
Here is some previously unseen footage of his monstrous reaction to Trump starting the illegal war with Iran.

- We have done it!

- I almost cried! [of happiness]
- How long have we pushed this?
