Iraq in 1991 negotiated a ceasefire.
Saddam Hussein pulled back from Kuwait.
The stated objective of the coalition was achieved.
The UN mandate was fulfilled.
The war was over.
Twelve years of the most comprehensive sanctions regime ever imposed on a country followed.
Five hundred thousand Iraqi children died.
Not from bombs.
From the sanctions.
From the inability to import medicine.
From the destruction of water treatment infrastructure.
From the systematic economic strangulation of a country that had agreed to the terms it was given.
Madeleine Albright was asked in 1996 whether the deaths of 500,000 Iraqi children were worth it.
She said: "We think the price is worth it."
On camera.
With her name attached.
Then in 2003, after twelve years of compliance with weapons inspection regimes, after twelve years of sanctions, after twelve years of no-fly zones enforced by American and British aircraft over sovereign Iraqi territory:
They invaded anyway.
There were no weapons of mass destruction.
They knew there were no weapons of mass destruction.
The sanctions had worked.
The inspections had worked.
The compliance had worked.
They invaded anyway.
Because the compliance was never the point.
The compliance was the process by which Iraq was weakened enough to be finished.
Negotiations. Compliance. Sanctions. Inspection regimes. Another decade of negotiations. Invasion.
This is the sequence.
This is what "negotiations" produced for Iraq.
Half a million dead children as the price of the ceasefire.
Two million dead as the price of the invasion.
A country that has not recovered twenty years later.
This is the table they invite you to.

Trump's former envoy to Ukraine, Kellogg, is going nuts. He claims American soldiers are willing to risk their lives to capture Kharg Island.
'We don't necessarily have to send troops into Iran, but we need to capture Kharg Island. We need to do it the way the Romans did. We need to put legions on the ground to secure the territory. I understand it's risky. There's always risk. But these guys, these young men and women, they understand the risk they're taking to capture Kharg and open the Strait of Hormuz. Marine combat teams can open the lower part of the strait. And then I'd call on the 82nd Airborne Division or the Rangers to take Kharg Island. That way, I could essentially control the flow of oil out of Iran.'
For Epstein!

These small children are illegally held prisoners- hostages- kidnapped by Israel held without charge. Thousands of them. God knows what is happening to them…
HatsOff@HatsOffff
Close to 4,700 Palestinians are being held in detention with no charges and no one to represent them, enduring horrific conditions and abuse.

All Israel has to do is lay down its weapons, surrender, and these attacks will stop. Pretty simple.

Parents of the 168 schoolchildren killed in Minab are struggling to process the scale of the loss, returning each night to keep vigil at their children’s graves.
Drop Site correspondent Mahmoud Aslan reported that families arrive carrying rugs and cushions, food, water, and candles, placing them beside the small, freshly dug graves. They clean the tombstones, tend the surrounding earth, and settle in for the night—keeping a quiet vigil until dawn.
