And just why were/are there any US personnel or military activities in Syria, given that they were not there at the invitation of the, then, Syrian government, while presumably the Iranians were. There's a way to describe military forces inside a country that hasn't requested them, something besides "standard US operating procedure," it's called military invasion, at least that's what we'd call it if it happened on US soil. But, in the world of geopolitics, the sauce for the goose is never sauce for the gander.
I can't bear to listen to Matthew Miller or John Kirby or KJP. The same for Biden, though I doubt he composed a word of this "report". Good riddance to the Zionist President, who chose ethnic cleansing over liberty and justice for all without a moment of hesitation. A traitor at the very top and a war criminal with Netanyahu. All kinds of pardons issued, but not a word to say about the 50,000 dead Palestinians whose deaths he expedited.
The TLDR version: The US has clandestine military operations around the world so that they can keep extracting resources without having any accountability whatsoever to the indigenous people of the lands they are raping. That is the history of this country and continues to be the history of this country. Don’t get fooled by anything other than this. The military exists for one purpose and this is it. Politics is simply the PR/entertainment wing of the military complex.
Biden also “served” on the Senate foreign relations committee for decades, and chaired it for years, putting his fingerprints all over the era of Washington’s neo-liberal neo-imperialism.
Repeating myself, but my rule of thumb, especially during the Biden administration, is: If the U.S. backs it, it’s bad. Look no farther than what has happened in Syria. I assume the billions of dollars the Pentagon “can’t find” are being spent on these secret wars.
The worst administration in my memory, and I go back to Truman.
Except for the George W administration that blew up the pentagon so it conveniently lost budget reports in 2001. And was also able to swiftly pass the unnecessary “patriot act”. Wake up. Rise up. ✊🏽 time for blacks, real Jews, and working class whites to join hands and walk these grifters off the planet.
Count on our Government, especially the military; to come up with jargon and new words never heard before. Such as "postured". Notice it is such a word with so many meanings and nuances. If memory serves, Biden has given the ok for American "contractors" to operate in Ukraine. It should be noted that a simple change of clothes could proceed the adjective "contractor" for that particular American. Which is why our military seems to love that word as well. Perhaps we need to write all those lovely military terms and made up words into a ledger of some sort for reference, so the average American can know what they are trying to say. But alas. Our military seems to constantly strive to obscure and camouflage what it is they are actually doing. They also have that grand fall back position of getting to classify information to keep it out of the public domain.
We never get legacy news about what the US is doing around the world. A budget shows what you value. The US budget is more than 50% DOD, not to mention all the supplementals.
The military mite here at home is threatening…
We are so in need of leaders who can unravel all that is knotted.
Politicians would be better off (as would we) if they simply had the courage to tell us the truth. FDR was much more honest in his Fireside Chats, for example.

Good article, Ken. Any predictions on how Trump will handle the wars?
A significant or even total withdrawal from Ukraine seems likely but aside from that, hard to say.

No one should be surprised giving Biden’s abysmal foreign policy record. Few people have done as much over the many decades he has “served” in Washington to undermine human rights and promote preventable violence. https://open.substack.com/pub/shahidbuttar/p/genocide-joe-is-no-defender-of-democracy?r=97w99&utm_medium=ios
He sponsored the 1994 Crime Bill. Obliterated black families. Fuck Joe Biden.

Who are those "terrorists, allies, partners and good buddies" I keep hearing about? And how do you become a good buddy of the United States??
Every leader in the Middle East.
The push for secrecy and censorship is because they know that people would object, and that we are too stupid to know what's good for us.
Politicians would be better off (as would we) if they simply had the courage to tell us the truth. FDR was much more honest in his Fireside Chats, for example.
You need to rest now
And, you expected...what? Rose colored glasses are not to be had.
