Alot happened in just the past 2 days and now we're bombing Iraq again because...who the hell knows? Seems like that's a default target no matter the situation.

Video clip from "Black Hawk Down" showing U.S. Army Delta snipers, Gary Gordon and Randy Shughart, facing incredible odds as they attempt to rescue Mike Durant and secure the crash site around Super-Six-Four until reinforcements arrive.

Both men were posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for their actions during the battle of Mogadishu on October 3, 1993.

The Jan 6 committee shared evidence that President Trump signed an order to immediately withdraw troops from Afghanistan and Somalia just as Biden was set to take office — a move that top military officials testified would have been 'catastrophic' and 'potentially dangerous.'

That said the Mogadishu battle became famous for all the wrong reasons:

One of the reasons the battle became symbolic of the war of which it was a small part was that it was both a battle marked by the dramatic image of Somalis dragging the corpses of US soldiers through streets, and because it encapsulated two years of war in a single clash. Technically US firepower achieved a narrow goal. Equally it failed to achieve the broader one, Somalia becoming far more divided and wartorn after the battle than before and the removal of one of its warlords, Mr. Adid, did nothing to address the much deeper structural problems facing Somali society.

Ethiopia-Somaliland Agreement: A Slap In A Face For Somalia

Now, #Ethiopia's deal with #Somaliland will be criticized, but there'll be no way for ET to look back. #Africa'ld learn that when there're economic interests of the so-called giant nations, it’s only their interest that matters & not the deal of the poor Africans.

"I don't want to talk about now, colonel! I'm busy!"

“U.S. President Joe Biden issued a memorandum on Thursday requiring allies who receive military aid from the U.S. to provide ‘credible and reliable written assurances’ of their adherence to international law including international human rights law,” the Times of Israel reported. Israel will need to supply written assurances within 45 days or risk loss of aid. The report added, “The memo did not mention specific countries who would be held up to the new standard, but came amid increasing calls in the U.S. to condition aid to Israel due to concerns over its military operations in Gaza which were triggered by the Oct. 7 attacks, in which Hamas terrorists murdered some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapped 253.” No one should underestimate the impact of the decision. The Associated Press explained, “Democratic senators on Friday called Biden’s directive — meant to bring breadth, oversight, deadlines and teeth to efforts to ensure foreign governments don’t use U.S. military aid against civilians — historic.”

[.......]

Biden also pressed on with intense one-on-one diplomacy. After his comment on Thursday evening that Israel had been “over the top” in Gaza, Biden engaged with Netanyahu on Sunday in a 45-minute conversation — unusually long by most diplomatic standards (and even more so given that no time had to be spent on translation with English-fluent Netanyahu). According to the White House readout, Biden insisted Israel make “credible” arrangements to protect civilians before launching a widely criticized military plan for Rafah, where civilian casualties could mount. He also pressed Netanyahu again to increase humanitarian aid to the Palestinians. Biden’s patient approach with Netanyahu over months has gradually transformed into a private and public pressure campaign. A Biden official told The Post that the leaders had “a pretty detailed back and forth on that.”

-- Biden delivers tough love, takes historic step: Conditioning aid to Israel

Meanwhile Trump?

Trump has said he would implement travel bans on people from certain countries or with certain ideologies, expanding on a policy upheld by the Supreme Court in 2018. Trump previewed some parts of the world that could be subjected to a renewed travel ban in a mid-October speech, pledging to restrict people from the Gaza Strip, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Yemen and "anywhere else that threatens our security." During the speech, Trump focused on the conflict in Gaza, saying he would bar the entry of immigrants who support the Islamist militant group Hamas and send deportation officers to pro-Hamas protests.

Also: Trump vows to expand Muslim ban and bar Gaza refugees if he wins presidency

Really, really not sure how much clearer I can make it here for y'all, but sure. Something something Trump's actually a better choice on this issue/overall (sarcasm).

Call Script: My name is {Your Name}. I am a constituent of {Representative's Name}. I am calling to ask that the Representative add their name to the Ceasefire Now resolution led by Representatives Cori Bush and Rashida Tlaib, regarding the unfolding crisis in Gaza. It is absolutely urgent that the Representative demand a ceasefire, and that they call on Israel to allow humanitarian assistance into Gaza. The only way forward is addressing the root causes of violence: Israeli military occupation and apartheid, and ending U.S. complicity in this oppression.

In this video an American general explains how politicians at the Pentagon made decisions to invade seven countries-Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, Somalia, Sudan and Iran(oil rich countries) within a five-year span without any reasons. When the military questioned their motives, their response was,-"We have a strong military, so we can overthrow governments."

This one minute video is enough to expose how America, Europe and Israel the so called 'bastion of freedom and human rights' destroy nations to fulfil their evil imperialistic goals.

The audience is laughing while he proudly talks about the genocides that america and its allies have committed.Millions of people died and millions more are facing poverty, starvation, and homelessness even to this day but at least they got a good laugh out of it.
