Drone..

 

Russia accused the United States of being behind a drone attack on Moscow's Kremlin citadel intended to kill President Vladimir Putin. 

Ukraine has denied involvement in the incident. A video footage showed two flying objects approaching the Senate Palace inside the Kremlin walls and one exploding with a bright flash.  

Attempts to disown this, both in Kyiv and in Washington, are, of course, absolutely ridiculous. We know very well that decisions about such terrorist attacks, are made not in Kyiv but in Washington," said Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov. 

Comment: Is the US involved in this war?  Is that a way to say the Ukraine war is a loss and going against the interests of USA, and Western allies' calculations of how it started, how the sanctions failed, how it is run, when we let war and violence takes over peaceful actions.   

Just "to Summarize" a thought.

My Kid..

 

Appearing in court for the first time since the case was brought against him by a former lover with whom he fathered a child, Biden’s lawyer Abbe Lowell said that his client is currently paying $20,000 per month in child support for his daughter, Navy Joan Roberts. 

Biden’s reluctance to reveal the full extent of his business dealings may not only be motivated by his lawyers’ efforts to reduce his child support payments to former lover Lunden Roberts, but also the fact that House Republicans are rapidly finding more shady business deals made during his father’s time as vice president.  

Hunter Biden is white trash. That’s what Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene called him the other day, and as archaic a phrase as it is, it’s perfect.

Just like you can sometimes describe somebody in politics as a hack’s hack, Hunter Biden is white trash’s white trash.

Town..

 

The various segment of the politicians trying so hard to disqualify the guy with a red tie from running for the president of the USA in 2024. They tried impeachment once that failed and the second one in the last week of his term which also failed. The saga continue.

Just a thought.

Flirting..

 

Calculations from Brown University’s Watson Institute indicated that 4,898 U.S. soldiers had perished in Iraq as of September 1, 2021.  The number of deaths among contractors was close behind at 3,650.

Washington acknowledged that 2,448 U.S. military service personnel were killed during the two-decade long intervention, compared to 3,846 contractors.  

In late 2021, an analyst at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) noted that more contractors (nearly 8,000) had died in the various post-9-11 conflicts than had U.S. armed forces personnel. 

U.S. leaders are flirting with even more dangerous risks than they did by meddling in the affairs of Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria, since the presence of U.S. mercenaries in Ukraine could lead to a direct clash with Russia. Both Congress and the American people must demand much greater transparency about the role of Washington’s Hessians in all combat zones. 

Laundromat..

A new report by the Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) has found that European countries that banned Russian oil imports are instead importing huge amounts of oil commodities from India, China, United Arab Emirates, Singapore and Turkey, therefore qualifying them as laundromats. 

How the price cap coalition whitewashes Russian oil in third countries, reveals that western countries bought $42 billion worth of laundered Russian crude in the form of various oil products from nations that are friendly towards Russia, with India leading the five other countries. 

India has particularly been offering a back-door for imports of Russian oil into Britain, blunting the country's efforts to restrict funding for the Kremlin. Some British buyers have effectively replaced imports directly from Russia with imports from Russian-fed refineries, thereby indirectly supporting the Russian oil industry.

Dick..

Did the Iraq War benefit the U.S. economy? 

The CBO estimated that of the $2.4 trillion long-term price tag for the Iraq war, about $1.9 trillion of that would be spent on Iraq, or $6,300 per US citizen.  

Under these assumptions, oil price increases from 2003-2008 due to the Iraq war reduced total U.S. income GDP by a total of approximately $274 billion, a direct transfer of about $124 billion and a further GDP effect of $150 billion.   

Halliburton gained $39.5 billion in "federal contracts related to the Iraq war". Many individuals have asserted that there were profit motives for the Bush-Cheney administration to invade Iraq in 2003. Dick Cheney served as Halliburton's CEO from 1995 until 2000

Poor..

 

The Democratic party decided that no one is available who has credibility with the American people for the 2024 presidential run except President Biden.  Mr. Biden looks tired and too old for a second term, but it's all about the party and about the winning.

Mr. Biden didn't do much good during his time in the office. Started with his Anti Fossil talks, anti Russia, various sanctions on Russia that brought price inflation worldwide, including USA and Western Europe, to the poor countries in Africa.

Just a thought.
