NYT: Biden "ordered U.S. forces to prepare for possible coordinated nuclear confrontations with Russia, China and North Korea".

If anything is a sign of the utter failure of US foreign policy, this is it. This is akin to saying "the president orders US forces to prepare for armageddon". Because armageddon is exactly what a coordinated nuclear confrontation would be...

Whilst it's obviously extremely unlikely that this actually materializes, this document still attests to how close to the edge we are.

The real interesting question though, and one that seemingly never gets asked, is how we can start to walk back away from it... Maybe a good start would be if the US reconsidered insisting on global hegemony gained through "might makes right", and actually accepted to coexist with others? Sound logical to me that the moment you refuse coexistence and instead make it your goal to destroy, impoverish or otherwise "contain" others, that will ratchet tensions up somewhat... I don't know, just a thought...

American and British warplanes are bombing Yemen’s Hudaydah in the middle of the night. Again.

This is a strategic port city where food and humanitarian aid enter.

This is an egregious war crime.

You know what's funny about some of you claiming you will push Kamala Harris left? You don't really want to do it. You're lying. You're so happy to have a democrat you don't care what they do.
Stop lying.

UN Human rights experts have filed an amicus brief with the ICC to refute western efforts to block or stall the ICC issuance of arrest warrants for Netanyahu & Gallant. They reject Oslo as a bar, affirm the ICC has jurisdiction & raise the urgency of the need for warrants.
