Generally speaking, the US is a war-mongering nation...I recently read that, out of 248 years of America's being, only 20 years the nation was at peace.

And that does not include its hundreds of interventions and assassinations.

Excruciating to again watch Biden chair his committee. It brings back my anger listening to Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice

on the Sunday news shows smugly assuring Americans there were WMDs in Iraq…Hillary Clinton voting for war, Powell

(possibly lied to) urging the truth of the existence of Iraq’s dangerous weapons. How could I, with no political

or foreign affairs experience, sense that there was enough doubt of the existence of WMDs not to go

to war? Why didn’t someone in Congress invite Hans Blitz the weapons inspector in Iraq to speak to the country?

What a horrible, massive crime was committed!

Hilarious, because Democracy Now serves the same empire, that it occasionally mewls against. The Left Intelligensia and media is complicit in its devotion to capitalism and the capitalist world order.

Maybe that's why today's western governments or so censorious and fanatical in their support for Israel.

When this all ends, if there are Nuremberg trials, a lot of them will be in big, big trouble.

Thanks for posting, Robert.

Cynical as it may sound I think Nuremberg was just a show trial to further demonize the Third Reich as absolute evil and a scapegoat for the evils of the West to follow. Thousands more war criminals were left untried, any that had useful skills to the West were given reprieves to work for the West, former Nazi generals worked for NATO. Fascism was never defeated in 1945 it just metastasized into Western culture. Orwell knew what we were in for.

You're probably right, Robert. I'm still shocked at how our leaders support this genocide, and poo poo it and lie about it. Fascism runs all through our societies.

Never forgot that guy, or his evil twin, who lifted a speech from a Brit MP during the evil twin’s presidential campaign in the 80s.

Really a fucked up family!
