Provoked: How Washington Started the New Cold War with Russia and the Catastrophe in Ukraine – The Scott Horton Show

TEMPORAILY UNAVAILABLE ON SCOTTHORTON.ORG. PLEASE, ORDER ON AMAZON.COM Already Preordered? You will get your order soon. Over and over, U.S. government officials and their mainstream media allies called Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine an “unprovoked attack.” The slogan became so overused that people began to ask the obvious question: Why…

I've never been so embarrassed by my government until I saw the manner in which #Trump & #Vance #disrespected, #belittled, #bullied, and #provoked #Zelensky. It was disgraceful. I applaud and respect how brave Zelensky was in standing up to the lies and intimidation and not groveling before them.

Trump and Vance disrespected #America by the way they acted. It looked like they purposely provoked and orchestrated this. #Putin must be happy at how his #asset performed. I'm sure the #maga crowd enjoyed the spectacle. #Trumplicans should be ashamed for siding with Trump & Putin and not standing by an ally and a democracy. Trump is making America and the world less #safe. #MakeAmericaGrimAgain

American Idols

23 years ago, over 3000 #people were #killed in a single day. In the #USA we are not accustomed to losing that many people at once. Yet, our two national idols, #guns and #cars take 3000 people a month, each. And we seem to be ok with it. Killing us fast #provoked us to #war #Killing us slowly, meh.

This model works equally to #Taiwan 🇳🇫 / the #DPP (the supposed "#provocateurs") and #China 🇨🇳 / the #KMT (the "#provoked").

@liztai I started watching #MysteriousLotusCasebook and liked the look and the humour. I somehow got side-tracked, though, because I'm waiting for new episodes of #ButterfliedLover and so sort slipped into watching #Provoked. Look forward to returning to The Mysterious Lotus Casebook...

In late 2020, in the middle of an ongoing #pandemic & a #housingCrisis, #Ontario ’s #Landlord and #Tenant Board (#LTB ) transitioned to a “digital-first” #policy for all future #eviction proceedings. Almost all matters before the LTB are now heard via #Zoom – a change that has #provoked widespread #criticism from tenants and their #advocacy groups, large swaths of the #legal community, and even many landlords across the province.

Assembling a digital dystopia

The Ontario Landlord and Tenant Board’s “digital-first” hearing model is silencing tenants and helping landlords evict them.

@taiwanplus Always remember: For #Beijing, "being #provoked" is a policy choice, not a visceral reaction
