1. ho conosciuto uno degli oppositori di punta del regime di Saddam,Hussain al-Sharistani: 22 giorni di tortura con la tecnica #PalestinianHanging,10 anni in isolamento a Abu Ghraib.
Nel 2005 mi disse: temevo che le vostre proteste pacifiste fermassero attacco USA(invasione 2003)
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.

#Trump propone #SpesaMilitare USA a 1.500 miliardi $ nel 2027, scrive oggi #MarcoPalombi su #FattoQuotidiano
possono portarla anche a 5000 miliardi,ma tanto dal #Vietnam a oggi NON hanno vinto una guerra e buscano botte da orbi da civiltà medioevali
possono spendere anche il 100% del budget federale per #armi e #guerre, ma gli #StatiUniti continueranno a perdere guerre con *civiltà* medioevali come i Talebani,con insurgency come quelle in #Iraq: la loro incapacità o mancanza di volontà di capire le altre culture è drammatica
it was absolute hell when i was writing academic papers, 30 years ago, quoting sources in 2-3 different languages.
in proper academic writing, if you translate the text, you include the original in a footnote or vice-versa.
Microsoft Office, with their insistence that autocorrect can only happen one language at a time, has kneecapped plurilingual literacy.
we could be using language anchors to deal with dictionary switching, but nooo because illiterate techbros rule the world.

Regarding the recent actions of the Orange Gangster and his supporters, he openly kidnapped the president of a country with a stronger military than Brazil. He seemingly struck a deal with the new leadership and publicly declared his intention to steal another country’s oil, which ultimately ended up flowing to China.
Contrast this with the narrative around Iraq, the talk of weapons of mass destruction, the coalition of allies, and the supposed delivery of justice, and it was always clear just how much political theater was involved.
The difference now is not in the substance but in the style. The orange man was unusually explicit about intentions that are normally carried out quietly and wrapped in propaganda and moral justifications and legitimized by dependent allies.
Don't expect leaders of the #EuropeanUnion to protest much when the #USA invades a sovereign country like #Venezuela .
I mean, remember how many European nations actively assisted in the invasion of #Iraq ?
8. nel film #CoverUp,l'editor di #SeymourHersh racconta la telefonata che Hersh le fece prima che l'amministrazione Bush invadesse l'Iraq:
"Hersh era in incazzato con il mondo",racconta l'editor trasmettendo l'urgenza bruciante che sentiva Hersh nel fermare quel bagno di sangue
9. Hersh-racconta il suo editor al New Yorker - sentiva che impedire quel bagno di sangue dell'invasione dell' #Iraq era la battaglia di un'intera generazione.
E' quello che penso del #genocidio di #Israele contro #Gaza

The U.N. Security Council backed a Donald Trump–brokered Gaza peace plan, despite vague terms and sidelining Palestine and Hamas, raising doubts about its effectiveness. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/11/20/world/un-oks-trumps-gaza-peace-plan/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #us #donaldtrump #gaza #middleeast #unsecuritycouncil #china #russia #isf #hamas #palestinianauthority #tonyblair #afghanistan #iraq #unitednations
