Totally agree.

But, to be fair, #European #history is full of violence and resource theft, too.

And while I'm not much deep into #Chinese and #Russian internal history, I guess they are not much better (even excluding the last century, I mean).

To dismantle the #US-led world order is urgent.

But we should be careful to not just replace them with another oppressive empire.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@DrALJONES/116029489613320355

100% agreed with the sentiment of a boycott of the US.

But, let's acknowledge that the violence of the US started 250 years ago (really 534 years w/ Columbus) with genocide of the indigenous people of these continents. Then continued in slavery and violent foreign interventions as far back as the 1800s.

Violence and resource theft is a foundational element of US domestic and foreign policy. Trump is just being more open about it. Let's be totally honest about this history!

Any boycott, to be honest, needs to go far beyond Trump and acknowledge what came before and what would come after. Trump and his regime is a big red, pussy zit that's rupturing all over itself and everyone else.

Now is the time for a full reckoning with 70+ years of US hegemony. The global community, Northern and Southern nations, have an opportunity to begin a re-balancing of the global order.

A better, more fair and sane world will be one where the US is demoted. No better, no more powerful than any other.

#TheCryptocalypseChronicles: A Rather Alarming Epstein / Russia / Israel Crypto Timeline

The recently released #EpsteinFiles make it crystal clear that #Epstein's involvement in #crypto was much deeper and long lasting than had been previously understood.

Not only do we now know that Epstein funded bitcoin's development team at #MIT starting from 2015, we also now know that #Epstein introduced #Tether co-founder, #SteveBannon business partner, #EOS scammer, and man with an extremely sordid history of sex crimes against children #BrockPierce to former #Harvard president #LarrySummers. Summers would go on to join the board of #DigitalCurrencyGroup ( #DCG), the most important crypto VC fund in the U.S.

Beyond that there's

1. Epstein's proposal to a #Russian #FSB operative that they should create a #BRICS stablecoin

2. A bunch of sinister sounding emails between Epstein and"influential men" in #Qatar about "the e-currency"

3. Bannon + Epstein's plot to undermine Europe with crypto money

4. The integration of #BrockPierce and the #Netanyahu family

5. Accusations from the former head of #Mossad's financial unit about Netanyahu's involvement in crypto

6. The relationship between Chinese criminal #MilesGuo AKA #MilesKwok, Steve Bannon, and Epstein

...and so much more. Retoots appreciated.

If Ukraine gives up land to get a peace deal, eventually reclaiming that land may require Russia's internal collapse. History shows voluntary returns of occupied territory are extremely rare. https://theconversation.com/ukraine-is-under-pressure-to-trade-land-for-peace-if-it-does-history-shows-it-might-not-ever-get-it-back-271609

The Conversation

Ukraine is under pressure to trade land for peace − if it does, history shows it might not ever get it back

Ukraine may need a major, system-level change or crisis in Russia to regain any lost territories.

@TheConversationUS #Ukrainians should not cede *any* land to #VladTheInvader. But if cowardly fools in #Europe and the #Russian puppet in the #WhiteHouse force them to, it will soon be returned, with interest. The Gods of #Comedy have foretold it!

The #SinoFinnishBorder that has been long-anticipated by dark humorists in #Russia will certainly not cross over the currently recognized territories of #Ukraine , which obviously include #Crimea.

"strategic escalation taking place, and not just tactical opportunism...

More detailed, recent assessments of #Russian sabotage actions in Europe ...are increasingly being considered in the light of a NATO 2023 Joint Threat Assessment — a classified report shared among the alliances’ defence chiefs — that Russia was gearing its military & economy for a possible hot war with Europe by 2029."

Старый дом давно ушёл под снос,
Съехали те люди, что в нём жили...
Лишь не сходят с места кот и пёс,
Всё не веря, что их тут забыли...

The old house was long ago demolished,
The people who lived there have moved out...
Only the cat and dog remain standing,
Still unable to believe they've been forgotten here...
