"As a fellow Jewish man who also grew up in America of the late 20th century—which turns out to be the best time and place in modern history to have ever been a Jew—I know Tapper’s concerns. Survivors of the Shoah were in and out of my synagogue for the whole of my Jewish education," (continued in /9)

"No, we don't need (Ukraine's) help in drone defense," Trump said in the interview. "We know more about drones than anybody. We have the best drones in the world, actually."
Anent Iran:
"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle."

In case people are not clear what Christian nationalism is about. Muslims could practice privately, but not have a minarets public spaces are Christian spaces, but I guess apparently Catholics aren’t Christians either.
This isn’t about religion. This is about demonstrating who is subordinate.
Like…the US is engaged in this parallel conflict in Iraq, related to but separate from its war on Iran, that has the potential to escalate into an Iraqi civil war or a US-Iraq war, and there is virtually no attention on it. The PMF number at least in the tens of thousands and possibly into the hundreds of thousands. They have drones and missiles. They can cause genuine damage.
I find this both frustrating and kind of mind boggling.
"Undercover police officers spied on the justice campaign run by the family of Jean Charles de Menezes, the innocent man shot dead by police on the tube in 2005, the #SpyCops public inquiry has heard.
"The surveillance took place while the grieving family was seeking to hold the Metropolitan police to account and uncover the truth of why officers had mistaken him for a suicide bomber when they shot him seven times in the head."
