Russians killing your kids. IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?

No point in feeding #breakfast to children, says retired Admiral #LordWest of Spithead. The Russkies will just march in and kill the kids.

Better to give the cash to Alan and his chums to buy #wartoys. Says Alan.

The dogs of war are loosed upon the world. For lunch they eat the brains of their masters. #genocide #militarism #vampires

The contradictions between what is claimed and what is actual are reaching record levels. That a populace is able to sustain these levels is an index on its cultural integrity, the integrity of the system that binds the individual to the society. Only "unthinking" people can sustain such contradictions reliably. An unthinking populace is the demagogue's ideal soil. This populace will become the stuff from which empires build their substance. The populace, in such cases, is agreeing to not participate in decision making. It is the innocence of the child in need of a parent. Those who escape this mentality must deal with those who do not escape it. #genocide #militarism

"On April 21, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi officially announced that Japan had lifted a decades-old ban on exporting lethal weapons. The new offer concerns at least seventeen countries as potential buyers for Japanese fighter jets, missiles, and warships.

The move came in a period of strongly rising militarism. Japan and Australia had only days before signed a $7 billion deal for Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to build eleven warships for the Royal Australian Navy. That same week, Japan’s Self-Defense Forces (SDF) began participating as combatants in the US-Philippines Balikatan 2026 exercises for the first time, during which it has since tested its Type-88 surface-to-ship missile, marking the first time Japan has launched an offensive weapon abroad since the end of World War II.

Takaichi’s April 21 announcement also coincided with reports that she had sent a ritual offering to the Yasukuni Shrine, which honors Japan’s war dead, including over a thousand convicted war criminals from World War II. This number includes former Prime Minister Tojo Hideki and general Matsui Iwane, who explicitly ordered his soldiers to carry out mass executions of civilians across Nanjing as the Imperial Japanese Army laid siege to the Chinese city from December 1937."

L’économie de guerre permanente d’Israël

L’étude (Dana 2024) montre qu’Israël ne se réduit pas à un complexe militaro-industriel : la guerre y structure l’économie, la technologie, l’université, la diplomatie et même l’identité nationale. #Israel #WarEconomy #Militarism #Technology #Palestine L’étude analyse ce qu’elle appelle une économie de guerre permanente israélienne. Son idée centrale est que le militarisme n’y est pas un simple secteur parmi d’autres, mais une…
