"Two possible futures" 💀☀️ for the entire world 🌍 are being decided right now ⏳⏰ Please watch, especially in the 🇺🇸, at least the first 2 minutes - this man isn’t just eloquent, he’s hitting hard. And he's correct.
With Russia's air defenses now allocated to protecting Putin's palaces, Ukraine is just laying waste to any high value target they choose.

Senator Kelly is correct.

Plus a Public Service Announcement:

KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.

The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.

If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.

It’s that simple.

Bash: "Do you believe if there was a second strike to eliminate any survivors that it constitutes a war crime?"

Mark Kelly: "It seems to."

Bash: "If you received that order, would you have carried it out?"

Mark Kelly: "No…Going after survivors in the water is unlawful."

"The modern structural violence never ends and is potentially worse than medieval warfare. Not because any individual act is more brutal but because there's no peacetime, no visible enemy, no clear path to ending it, and no shared recognition that it's even happening."

🇺🇦 war exposes a quiet calculation in the West: how many Ukrainian children’s lives are worth sacrificing before giving up even 1% of Western lifestyle & comfort. Aid is being sent, eventually - just enough to ease the conscience. The fact that such moral cost–benefit calculation even exists = horror
October 10, 2025 at 4:11 PM
This 🇺🇦 war in a nutshell, as it might appear in a history book later on: A lot of Ukrainian children were sacrificed to an evil torturer, so that Western civilization could more or less continue its lifestyle, preferably at minimal cost. Everyone in the West felt basically OK about it.

Do not look away. This is what devastation sounds like. I worked with some of USAID’s brightest, including many with disabilities, who built hope from nothing. That hope is shattered. The inhumanity of this regime is unforgivable.

Politics is not like selling biscuits, where the task is to find out what people like & flog it to them.

It's a moral activity. It's about arguing for the things you believe in. It's about *shaping* the "median voter".

Farage has moved the centre-ground of politics. His opponents can move it back.

Jane Goodall was one of a few people to earn a PhD without an undergraduate degree.

It was thought that her lack of formal academic training would allow her to remain unbiased by traditional thought and study the chimps with an open mind.

It worked. ❤️

Well yes. England in particular remains in thrall to the wholly artificial "class system" and its an absolute menace.
I do think that a lot, particularly as I relisten to my two audiobooks on Anglo Saxon history... So many of the people who lord it over of us are basically in place because their distant ancestors were better bullies than those around them. It doesn't seem much of a qualification.
