Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Tipping Their Hand

 Russia and China's veto of a ceasefire plan for Gaza pretty much gives the game away. It has been more than a little suspicious how young people in America have become frankly radicalized over Gaza. There's no doubt that it's a humanitarian nightmare and both Hamas and Israel are culpable for multiple war crimes. But horrible things happen in the world all the time. Myanmar, Congo, Sudan, Somalia, Haiti...take you pick.

Hamas' primary source of support is Iran, who is allied with Russia and China. That Russia and China have scuttled this plan suggests that their primary goal is continue to hinder Biden's ability to reclaim his base and help elect Trump. You want "election interference" Donny? Here it is.
