U.S. defends controversial plan to deliver cluster munitions to Ukraine with promise of careful usage

U.S. defends controversial plan to deliver cluster munitions to Ukraine with promise of careful usage

Posted by | Jul 23, 2023

President Joe Biden recently defended what he said was a “difficult decision” to provide cluster munitions to Ukraine, a move the administration said was key to the fight and buttressed by Ukraine’s promise to use the controversial bombs carefully. The decision comes on the eve of the NATO summit in Lithuania, where Biden is likely to face questions from allies on why the U.S. would send a weapon into Ukraine that more than two-thirds of alliance members have banned because it has a track record for causing many civilian casualties. “It took me a while to be convinced to...

Make America Russia: The ongoing efforts by MAGA Republicans to uphold a Christo-fascist movement

Posted by | Jul 20, 2023

The GOP is increasingly clear about their goal: Make America Russia, or at least Russia’s mini-me, Hungary. They are openly embracing a modern, westernized, Christian white supremacy-based version of classic fascism. And the Trump-MAGA Republicans have a three-step process to bring it about that they are already putting into place. They are willing to put enormous time and resources into the project, because they know that once fascism fully seizes a nation it is extremely difficult to dislodge it. In 19th century America, it took a Civil War to defeat the Southern fascist movement we call the Confederacy, as I...
