There is a brownnose joke in there somewhere . . .

"The masters of war pretend not to know that it takes only a moment to destroy, yet a lifetime is often not enough to rebuild. They turn a blind eye to the fact that billions of dollars are spent on killing and devastation, yet the resources needed for healing, education and restoration are nowhere to be found." -Pope Leo XIV

Any act of war aimed indiscriminately at the destruction of entire cities of extensive areas along with their population is a crime against God and the human. It merits unequivocal and unhesitating condemnation.

A head of state doesn’t like the Pope. Wow, unheard of in history! I think the Vicar of Christ will be okay. . . .

Statement from Ben Rhodes, former Deputy National Security Advisor, on the ceasefire deal.

I am, and it is, and no, they don't

What it all boils down to is whether we can get to Nuremberg this time without passing through Hiroshima and Auschwitz. It's really that simple.

@drlaplace.bsky.social to your point

Those who beat the drums of war should march at the front.

Now imagine law enforcement standing by watching it . .

That's America.

Slow violence . . .necropolitics

Getting dizzy listening to these yahoos complain that Iran is a hotbed of religious fanaticism and then turning right around and acting like religious fanatics themselves.

That was a sad day . . .

Behold the lamb . .
