Joni Ernst is a full-bodied uniparty spokesperson, having been on McConnell's Rep. leadership team for many years, and also a former air force member who keeps close connections with Defense military equipment needs. No surprise that she speaks for Anglo-Zionism.
Wow, what an impressive offering Mr. Wauck! Thank you. I have enough knowledge of history and enough unique personal historical background, having grown up exposed by birth to the Lithuanian-American and Swedish-American diaspora, to know their incredibly hostile attitudes towards Russia, that I can pretty readily accept all of what you write. I could write a book on Russophobia, yet I wasn't inculcated with it, as my mother had personal, positive experiences as a young child with the Russian soldiers during WW2 (especially in contrast to the Nazis, who also came through). So, in contrast to virtually all Lithuanian-Americans, my mind wasn't poisoned by my parent(s) at a young age. Of course, history is so ironic in that AIPAC's hatred of Russia and therefore support of Ukraine stems from its response to the pogroms in historical Russia which was actually centered in what is now Ukraine.
Pogroms…………from your knowledge or experience was the question ever asked, why? Why did these pogroms happen and the circumstances behind them? I find it interesting that you say these occurred in the Ukraine. AIPAC seems to focus on only that they happened but never why they happened. That sort of absolves them and leaves the question why always unanswered. I guess it’s easier to create victimhood by suppressing the whole story.
That is a very good question, and I'm afraid I haven't researched enough to come to any educated guess as to why they occurred. I'm sure they occurred in historic Russia as well as Ukraine, and of course in many other E. European nations. I just know enough they seem to have been particularly vile and more frequent in historic Ukraine than most other places.
The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit is E. Michael Jones' three volume explanation of Cosmo's question: "Why did these pogroms happen and the circumstances behind them?" Very thorough scholarship on historical circumstances in every European-Central Asian nation state wherein the Jewish People were granted residency, though never citizenry, until Napoleon's rule in France.
There was recently a clip of a Florida Jewish politician lamenting the fact that Jews have been chased out and chased away from everywhere, throughout history. We had a guy on our university soccer team who was always involved whenever there was a fight on the soccer field. Hmmm.
All of this is yet another indication of the imminence of the upcoming financial crisis. The political and economic capture of Ukraine was necessary because its bounty of natural resources was to be pledged as collateral for the issuance of new, and rollover of, existing European sovereign debt. Without that collateral, sovereign default is inevitable. The US is also in bad shape, but is being kept afloat by capital moving from Europe into US treasuries as a preferred safe haven, at least for the time being. The proposed "bone crushing sanctions" are yet another bluff that will be called, and it will only accelerate the default of the West. Rough road ahead. Unfortunately, it's the only path to redemption.
I sure hope not. If he wants to sanction Russia, why was she excluded from the global sanctions? He's got nothing to gain and everything to lose if he goes along with them. If he doesn't veto, he owns the war; If he does, he gets to blame congress and can still work with Putin, who won't bat an eye about the sanctions.
Same thing is happening here in Romania: this country is being robbed by Western interests, primarily french and german while portaying the russians as the root cause of all evil - as if the forests that covered our mountains and were cut down and the wood sold for nickels to the austrians, the oil and gas sold for nickels to the austrians and more recently to the hungarians, the public utilities like water and electricity sold for nothing to the italians and french... as if all this thievery was done by the russians, not by the West, as if our ellections were stolen by the russians not by the french. If this is how the end stage of Western civilization looks like, then its end can't come soon enough. We are fed-up over here, I see smart people around me prefering the poverty of Ceausescu's communism than the present humiliation. This won't end well.
There seems to be a couple of groups of American Jewish political forces.
- Anti Russian focused. Neocons, examples include Victoria Nuland, etc.
- Israel first / Zionist / Jewish Nationalists
- Leftist that are anti Israel
AIPAC my guess is dominated more by the Israel first / Zionists / Jewish Nationalists.
This could make for some interesting Venn Diagrams. Note the intersection of Ivy League education among this group. Ivy leagues have received a lot of gulf money, which may influence their positions.
I was surprised at the degree of Jewish representation in the Biden Administration. I had no idea Mayorkas was Jewish, and he’s from California.
I wonder if Marks posts are being shadowbanned in substack. I’m not seeing them in my feed.
My gut feeling is a lot of Ukrainian dirty money is fueling the anti Russian stupidity in congress. AIPAC may be the reason as Mark wrote, but my guess is their anti Russian support is more lukewarm. I wonder, is there may be money flowing into AIPAC from Ukrainian Jewish oligarchs that hate Russia that have influenced Aipacs decision?
The U.S. Congress has a history of being anti Russian. The Magnitsky Act of 2012 is an example, which replaced the Jackson–Vanik amendment of 1974.
Trust your gut, Ray, you are over the target. Yes, the number of Neocons and Zionists in Biden’s admin was huge. The number of dual citizens and former IDF soldiers acting on behalf of Israel’s interests while pretending these were “our interests” was also extensive and they continue to be in Trump’s admin. Ukraine and Israel are massive money laundering operations. Just look at what the majority of the senate wants to re-ignite the money train and war effort. These people are being paid to lie to the American people.
Shouldn’t we first insist that the U.S. declare war on Russia?
Didn’t we spend the last 3 years thinking up new and imaginative ways to sanction the Russians? Did Cuba cry uncle? Iran?
Let’s get imaginative. What could really hurt the Russians? Let’s ban all books and music from Russians. Ransack all the libraries across the world looking for contraband. And let’s also ban borscht, though I think the Ukrainians eat it too. No more Russian rockets to the space station either. And forbid Russians from buying any of the mountains of US debt.
The Senate wants to show how tough it can be on our archenemy Russia. Don’t ask the Senators to try to reduce the debt. Or stop sending money overseas for all kinds of malarkey.
Let’s continue the war with Russia, and start one with China and Iran as we seem to be itching to do. And send Israel more bombs so it can ensure that one stone in Gaza will not be left on another.
The only thing both political parties can agree on is more war, more death, and more destruction.
I saw earlier today on The Duran some chuckling coverage of the 500% tariffs and how (que Rand Paul article) this would technically have the USA sanctioning the USA for trading with Russia.

Agreed. I'm not at all convinced that Trump would attempt a veto if the vote were closer. My view is that he's on board with this.
I sure hope not. If he wants to sanction Russia, why was she excluded from the global sanctions? He's got nothing to gain and everything to lose if he goes along with them.

The U.S. Senate.The world's greatest deliberative body of thieves and traitors.
Yes, they are.
Ancient Rome Collapsed, Fighting Foreign Wars on Credit !
And their Senatorial class were just the same and just as corrupt as they are today. Money and bribes. Same old-same old.
Same people reincarnated.

Manul, your final sentence brought a piece of artwork to mind:
"The Council Held by the Rats" by Gustave Doré, drawing-engraving, 1868

It's the US Senate!
or...
It's the US House of Representatives!
How apropos this picture it captures perfectly the oligarch and political class.

More WINNING!
Absolutely. ‘Don’t feed the animals’ makes them more self-reliant and tougher. Ditto sanctions. Duh.
