the murder of 48 people in Odessa, Ukraine on May 2, 2014 was one of the biggest terrorist incidents of 2014 - more than the number of deaths as in the notorious Khobar Towers and USS Cole incidents combined. So how was it covered in the annual State Department survey of global terrorism 2009-2017.state.gov/documents/orga…? It wasn't even mentioned. Here is what the State Department had to say about terrorism in Ukraine in 2014: "VOA’s [Voice of America's] Russian and Ukrainian Services regularly address terrorism-related issues and threats in the United States and other key areas of interest to the target audience. Journalist Fatima Tlisova provided VOA Russian with enterprise reporting related to the first anniversary of the Boston bombings and the beginning of the trial of suspected Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. VOA Russian’s reports related to the Boston 324 terrorist attacks generated a significant social media response and numerous shares on social media. RFE/RL’s Russian Service provides accurate, independent, and wide-ranging news and analysis of a wide range of issues affecting its Russian audience." Not a single mention of the Odessa massacre in which 48 people were murdered by US-backed Ukrainian neo-Nazis. So when anyone quotes US State Department claims or statistics about "state sponsored" terror, keep in mind that the State Department didn't even mention the Odessa massacre in its 2014 survey of global terrorism. (And, when it comes to, for example, US-backed jihadis in Syria, the intentional blindness was even worse.)

On 2 May 2014, western-backed neo-Nazis in Ukraine forced protesters into the House of Trade Unions in Odessa and set it on fire. 48 people burned to death, and 200 were injured. Those who tried to escape were violently assaulted. This was among the opening salvos of the NATO proxy war that is now tearing the country apart.

Iran has never killed one American civilian on American soil. Virtually 99% of the so-called 1,000 deaths were of lethally armed US soldiers deployed to the middle of middle eastern wars and centuries old religious battles which are none of Washington's business and have no bearing whatsoever on the America's Homeland Security.

@DA_Stockman Only a moron would bargain with a regime that has 60% Uranium, has funded terror attacks around the world, killed over 1,000 Americans and chants death to America.

It should now be official. Trump has made himself the greatest jackass to walk the world stage since......EVER! “We landed on top of it. We took over the ship, the cargo, the oil. It’s a very profitable business… We’re like pirates.” President Trump’s remarks were, once again, strikingly blunt and unfiltered, to the point of sounding almost satirical. Yet the irony is real. The US president was openly acknowledging that American naval power in the Arabian Sea is now being used in ways that mirror the practices it was once built to suppress.

@JoeLowson Strait of Hormuz was open when US and Israel bombed Iran. It is FALSE to say that "two months ago the US bombed Iran to open it". It was US bombing that led to strait being closed.

The US just asked China to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Two months ago the US bombed Iran to open it. Now it's asking the country it's trying to decouple from to fix the mess. 10 days before Trump flies to Beijing. The leverage has shifted and everyone in that room knows it

are other nations entitled to apply same reasoning? U.S. is demanding that U.S. corporations control Venezuelan oil. Doesn't that make them a "threat" to Venezuela?

Keep in mind that Israel had invaded Lebanon in 1982 and was occupying much of Lebanon in 1983. Unsurprisingly, there was Lebanese resistance against Israeli occupation. However, as to the 1983 embassy bombing, I've done some research into events of this period and haven't seen any reporting to justify your claim as stated.

ironically, there's some evidence that, after the removal of the Shah, the US supported the installation of Khomeini to prevent "secular" (communist) parties from gaining power (and interfering with oil profits). This obviously turned out to be a bad call. Recall that in the 1980s, the US backed islamists (including Taliban and bin Laden) in Afghanistan also in the cause of opposing communism.

I respect your opinion - especially on matters of climate policy - but when it comes to geopolitics, Iran - not Iraq - was always the spider at the center of the web in the Middle East. We probably would have been wiser to keep Iran and Iraq at loggerheads with one another instead of topping Iraq's brutal but secular regime. As for Iran, without a doubt it has always had nuclear ambitions. Probably even pre-IRGC. You don't have to be a DS/IC hack to know that. There's enough OSINT to enable any reasonably intelligent person with a working knowledge of Middle Eastern history and Islamic culture - and a broader understanding of world history and human culture writ large - to infer that Iran is cancerous. Ironically enough, the people claiming we were snookered by the DS/IC into invading Iraq are the same people who are now leaning on that same establishment's reported assessment (viz, Joe Kent's claim) that Iran is harmless. You don't have to be a climate scientist to know that the claimed consensus among climate scientists is bunk; you don't have to be an IC insider to know that its current claimed consensus is also bunk. We can't have a nuclear Iran. And, even it means playing whack-a-mole forever, we have to make every effort to neutralize Iran's ability to project power outside of its borders. Preferably, we'd restore Iran to secular rule.

@Pablo_1791 @DA_Stockman BS. There hasn't been a single terror attack in USA attributed to Shia (Iran), whereas there have been over 100 attributed to Sunni.

in 2007-8, Dick Cheney and George Bush (MIGA) neocons tried to expand the US war against Iraq into a war against Iran using the same arguments. At the time, people were well aware that US had entered Iraq war based on false intelligence and were rightfully suspicious about expanding the war to Iran. Almost 20 years later, Trump got suckered by the same arguments.

Trump: "Under the Trump economic plan, we will cut your energy prices in half within, mark it down, and you can get very angry at me if we don't do it, within 12 months, within 12 months your energy prices will be cut in half. "My plan will cut energy prices in half or more than that within 12 months of taking office. Number one, your energy bill within 12 months will be cut in half and that's my pledge all over the country. "Beyond farmers, that's my pledge all over the country. If you vote for me, I will cut your energy and electricity prices in half within 12 months. And under my plan, we will cut energy and electricity prices in half within 12 months and that means for your homes too. I will cut your energy."

Tucker is my friend for 30 years. We disagree often. I don't care. After my cancer treatments, deaf and sick and gutted, I was sure I was dying in 2021. We had moved to Florida and Tucker made time to join me for dinner. That was the first time I heard him say it, in that noisy island bar. “People around Trump keep getting hurt, Caputo. Really hurt.” He wasn’t talking about the President; he was talking about me. Yeah, I got the cancer. This NYT interview is really intense stuff for me to watch now. Man.

Here's the long-form interview with David Reich, the prominent ancient DNA scientist. For what it's worth, I think that his work and the work of his associates is truly remarkable. I'm not in a position to comment on the validity or invalidity of any particular assertion, but the techniques and methodology are clearly revolutionary.

David Reich is one of the most important scientists thus far in 21st century. Studies of ancient DNA by Reich and his school have totally revolutionized study and understanding of ancient civilization and even some of the most controversial modern issues, including the discovery that Palestinians are the closest genetic descendants of Biblical period Israelites and Judahites.
Dwarkesh Patel@dwarkesh_sp

David Reich on how much ancient DNA evidence has overturned so much consensus thinking how ancient cultures spread. "It wasn't peaceful, it wasn't friendly, it wasn't nice. Some of our archaeologist co-authors were just really distressed."

huh? US backed Saddam Hussein and Iraq in an 8-year war against Iran. In which chemical weapons (including sarin) were used by US proxies and in which 200-250,000 Iranians were killed. So tell me again: what has Iran "done to Humanity and the World" for which they deserve to pay a larger price than that? And if Iran deserves to pay a larger price, what price should be exacted from the nation which backed Iraq in its war against Iran?

@Trainman34110 @ClimateAudit As an American, I ask: why were we there? Why were we shelling Bekaa from the sea? Why didn't we shed a tear when the Israelis and Phalangists murdered 3000+ women and children in Sabra and Shatila refugee camp? We haven't shed a tear 160+ schoolgirls we triple-tapped in Minab?

This is what Donald Trump celebrated: Nine U.S. bunker buster bombs, double tap strike, both within the space of two hours, heavily impacted B1 bridge in Karaj, Alborz. Beyond breaking international law by hitting civilian infrastructure, these strikes killed 13 Iranian civillians, of which included pregnant women and children as young as 6 months old. 250 people injured. On a day where families were picnicking below the bridge to celebrate nature day. Where is the international community? Grave war crimes and the silence is deafening.
