#MikeHuckabee spoke in an interview with conservative commentator #TuckerCarlson that aired Friday. Carlson said that according to the Bible, the descendants of Abraham would receive land that today would include much of the #MiddleEast, including parts of modern-day #Jordan, #Syria, #Iraq & #Lebanon. He quoted from Genesis Chapter 15 & asked Huckabee if #Israel had a right to that land.

Huckabee responded: “It would be fine if they took it all.”

Today in Labor History February 15, 2003: 25 million people demonstrated against President George W. Bush’s plan to go to war in Iraq, making it the largest coordinated protest in history. Demonstrations took place in over 100 countries. 3 million people took to the streets of Rome, making it the largest demonstration ever in a single city. Yet the protests achieved nothing. The war proceeded, with massive casualties, particularly for Iraqi civilians. Estimates suggest that over 4.5 million people died due to Bush’s “War on Terror,” making him one of the top ten most murderous world leaders in history.

To the folks in Europe, the problem with the US goes much, MUCH deeper than Trump or the nearly half of the electorate that voted him into office twice. That's too simplistic.

Also, be careful, you're telling on yourself. How so?

The problem, the real substance of the problem, is not just the overt #fascism and criminality of the Trump regime and MAGA. The deeper problem is the white supremacy the US middle class. Along with that, the 2 party system, both parties complicit in decades of criminal violence internally and abroad. Then, #neoliberalism / #global capitalism, the core of which is based in the US.

Your trust of the US has long been a mistake and, worse, you've been a partner in #US criminal misconduct that everyone casually calls "Foreign Policy". #Trump, Biden, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan, Carter... keep going. US foreign policy is rife with grift, violence and war profiteering.

And #Europe has been a partner all along.

The U.S. special envoy for Iraq, named by U.S. President Donald Trump in October, is no longer in that role, sources say. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/01/world/politics/us-iraq-al-maliki/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #iraq #middleeast #nourialmaliki #us #donaldtrump

I also have been thinking about this connection, it is so damn obvious, but no one in the media is talking about it.

The rise of authoritarianism, and the deep connection to the oil industry.

It has been obvious to anyone willing to stop for a moment and think... but #TheAmericanFascist, in his infinite wisdom and/or senility, has thrown down the veil.

#Venezuela is about access to #Oil in South America.

#Greenland is about access to Oil and Minerals in the #Arctic.

#Alberta Separatism is about access to Oil and Gas in #Canada.

Deposing the Iranian Regime is access to Oil and Gas in the Middle East. (Get #Iran, and you might get #Iraq too)

And lets not forget #Russia... fighting the #RussiaUkraineWar funded by their oil reserves and all about returning to an old empire in oil-rich Central Asia and Eastern Europe.

So is the fight to end fossil fuel use in order to preserve a liveable, recognizable planet, also a fight against authoritarianism and fascism?

You're damn right it is.

U.S. President Donald Trump has warned Iraq’s largest political bloc against tapping former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to return to office, saying the U.S. would “no longer help” the nation if he returns to power. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/01/28/world/politics/trump-us-iraq-al-maliki/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #nourialmaliki #iraq #middleeast #us #donaldtrump

Why is #Germany deporting the #Yazidis, who fled #IslamicState #genocide in #Iraq, back to that country? Yet another example of #European #racism, & #Refugees no longer being welcome, it seems.

Tony Blair should have be arrested and convicted a long time ago for his action in the war in Iraq

2. quando,pochi anni dopo, l' #Iraq sprofondò nella violenza settaria più cieca, a causa dell'invasione americana, avrei voluto chiedere di nuovo ad al-Shahristani se avrebbe giudicato ancora con quelle parole l'intervento USA del 2003 contro il regime #Saddam

If #Trump attacks #Iran,will
#Meloni allow him using US military bases in #Italy?
This is what happened w/ #Iraq: Italy's #pacifist #Constitution (Art. 11)was totally bypassed:"the largest air drop since WWII",US diplomats wrote,"we got what we asked for"
https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/03ROME2045_a.html

Se #Trump attaccherà #Iran, chiederà uso delle basi in Italia?

Questo è ciò che accadde con invasione #Iraq: un drammatico aggiramento dell'articolo 11 della #Costituzione. E diplomazia USA che si vantava con una sfacciataggine senza eguali:

In ousting and arresting Nicolas Maduro, U.S., President Donald Trump wants the political gains of fighting a war without actually having to fight one. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/01/11/world/venezuela-coup-precedents/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #venezuela #oil #nicolasmaduro #us #donaldtrump #mariacorinamachado #latinamerica #colonialism #iraq

btw: when Bush & Cheney were getting ready to invade #Iraq, i started translating news from EU & Latin America that were not being reprinted or followed up by USA media.

BBC, El Pais, they would block americans from their sites. L’Express never did; neither news sites from Canada, México, Brasil. so i was a one-woman RSS feed, circumventing geoblocks, quote posting (yes, they existed before twitter) what caught my eye or blogging full translations.

USA media has never been trustworthy.
