I think The Russia Federation underestimated much much life and money NATO was willing to waste dragging out the war in Ukraine. US figures did openly state the war is about weakening Russia, and the USA barely cares about its own people, let alone anyone in Eurasia. Maybe Russia also underestimated how weak, corrupt and sycophantic Europe leaders had become?
Sammmy
US and vassal state fascists think they're untouchable (despite crippling themselves with sanctions and getting their game in Ukraine upended). They live in a supremacist and chauvinist bubble where they think they can do no wrong, think they are exceptional, while they commit genocide, immiserate popualtions and provoke war after war via proxies. But Russia won't have its hands full with Ukraine forever, and China wont take bloody noses forever. This ends much like every other bloated belligerent violent empire.
In NATOSTAN maybe. Where people celebrate being made poorer by sanctions designed to shift market shares from Russia to the US and vassals. It's a great long term ploy, splitting Russia and Europe, keeps Germany in line, Europe on its knees for US power.
Wonder if they feel the same way about the Jewish State and Israeli Synagogues?
I have heard this concern before, and I think there may be an element of truth to it. You can push to hard and hurt your gums, possibly accelerating natural gum recession that comes with age. I have not heard that Oral B are worse than others. Best listen to your body, be gentle, floss. And I know what you mean regarding mistakes with teeth. Our teeth are so important, can't really be ignored, mistakes or bad dental work can be forever.
LOL every accusation, a confession. Jillian is standing by the gate they just breached, helping hold it open. The live streamed savagery of today's Israel has turned the world's stomach, and it's hard to imagine the lack of self awareness, or conscious bigotry, required to think Israeli Apartheid or the Gaza Genocide are morally acceptable.
Jillian Segal’s politics are abhorrent, as is the conflation of anti-Zionism with racism or any kind of bigotry. This appeasement by Labor of a foreign backed, racist and supremacist movement and its championed Apartheid Regime needs to stop. I think Australians want it to stop. Jews have never been oppressed or especially targeted in Australia, by Australians, certainly not compared to aboriginal Australians, or even Muslims or Asians. Remember Bondi was by Pakistani ISIS (who, if you know little about Islam and history, probably couldn't care less about Palestinians). This positive-segregation Zionists are pushing for is not just unjustified and unfair, but will promote antisemitism, which is of course what Israel and Zionists want. Australian Jews, mostly fine people like so many Australians I'm sure, do not need their own special protection laws or special privileged treatment at the behest of Zionists and Israel. They deserve the same protections as the rest of us, proportional to realistic threat. Australian Jews are not like Aboriginal Australians, for who we do have special laws, we have those because we colonised their country and wrecked their ancient culture, deliberately. Indeed, Israel could learn from Australia how to do better by their indigenous people, , the Palestinians, even after the fact of settler colonisation.
What antisemitism there is in Australia, outside of Israeli-model admiring Neo-Nazi groups, is caused by the crimes of Israel and the deliberate and dishonest conflation of Judaism and Israel and Zionism, by Zionists themselves.
That's how faux left bourgeois parties are. Same in Australia and the UK. The "left wing" major party is well to the right of their poor supporters, wedged by the system they either dare not break or have eternal faith in for some reason.
When you join a political party you typically must sincerely agree with and endorse that party's political platform, worldview and professed values. What are Democrat members agreeing to when they join, if they can go on to support ICE, little more than Trump's Brown Shirts? Either ICE is acceptable to the Dems, or they should eject these party members. Then can always join GoP. But they won't, because this is symptomatic of Bourgeois Dictatorship, capture of both major parties by capital. Fake-left parties and two party systems have been instrumental in removing, and manufacturing consent for the removal of, working class gains post WWII, made by largely unionized, even socialist, working classes.
Trump's planning a big Pool Room off the back of the White House, named after himself, to house all the gifts and awards he expects from sycophants.
The Nobel Peace Prize is a bad joke anyway. He'll probably end up getting it.
It's only fascism when we do it to white people. The Nazis did imperialism to white people, and honorary whites, and in Europe. Nazi Race Theory is a manifestation of European White Supremacism, which is still with us, only sanitized and secularized for sales purposes. Today's mainstream racism is hidden thusly, it's not our "white race" that makes Europeans superior, but our values and ideologies, and of course God's favor; how else could Europeans have conquered the Jungle beyond the Garden of Europe and brought civilisation (imitation whiteness and internalized white supremacy) to the jungle savages? The supremacism at the heart of Western imperialism, capitalism and liberalism is pretty obvious when you look for it.
