Wars around the world currently are being run by thugs

 Civil society is being egregiously damaged, essentially torn apart.  Putin (in his defense) was backed into a corner by expansion of NATO to the East; then he reacted like a thug.  With October 7, the Leadership of Hamas became criminal thugs.  [Yes, Gaza and the West Bank have been strangled by Israel's politicians for decades; but that's no justifiable excuse to brutally murder civilians, including children.]  Netanyahu and crew certainly were entitled to a response; but for weeks their over-reaction has become criminal thuggery.  No time to summarize the various thugs in parts of Africa and even in South America.

While Biden is not a thug, he 's supporting the thuggery of Israeli Leadership by supplying weapons, ammo, and military intelligence against Gaza.  So, in essence, he gives aid to:
a)  the bombing of medical facilities, ambulances, civilian residences, schools, UN shelters, refugee camps, and whole areas where Palestinians were sent because they supposedly were "safe" areas; and,
b)  the killing of CHILDREN; and,
c)  the ethnic cleansing and genocide of Palestinians; and,
d)  the intentional starving of them as well.
While all that may not make him a thug, arguably it does place him on the border of being not only unlawful and heartless, but insane as well.  [No, I'm not trained in clinical psychology.  But a wise man once told me:  "You don't have to be a master carpenter to recognize a shack.":]

This is all so Orwellian that it's truly mind-boggling.  Why people keep electing Establishment thugs (for example, Netanyahu and the micro-thug, Trump), to office is beyond my comprehension.  If not thugs, we elect dogmatic, stuck-in-the-Past, corporatist-supporting people with no vision and zero capability of thinking comprehensively (e. g., Biden, Bush, and again, Trump).

In this country, Elizabeth Warren should be elected President, or someone along the lines (back when) of the Republican Senator, Mark Hatfield, a truly honorable politician; or, someone like George McGovern, another honorable Senator.  Instead, we get either wannabe Fascists or slumbering, corporatist drones.  C'est la vie

Not only my opinion.  Be Well
p.s.  War is mostly for the benefit of Big Biz, and a distraction from the shrinking of the Middle Class.
