Yeah, that wasn't a mistake. He knew he was just being a good soldier and was at best right on the edge of lying.
There are some interesting (to me anyway) parts of that narrative that go back to George Sr who intentionally and quite cleverly (ok the clever bit may have come from advisors) blurred the lines between nuclear weapons and biological weapons. Before the first gulf war they were worried about Iraq maybe using bio weapons so he basically said, "We will treat use of weapons of mass destruction the same so if you use bio weapons, we will nuke you." And it worked. But the follow-on was that George Jr. could use the opaqueness to justify the next war. He only paid attention to the dubious evidence that Iraq might still have a biological program or the ability to start it up again. Then with some smoke and mirrors made it seem like Iraq had a nuke program. Powell never cited anything out of Department of Energy who are the primary agency for nuclear intelligence. And the DOE people knew it was bullshit; there was no nuclear program at the time.
People make mistakes. Sometimes it is firing in the wrong direction and sometimes it is reporting the wrong source for the missile. That's why we have to sort through so many waffle words in the news
The Chancellor urged households to âplay your partâ in reducing the UK's vulnerability to Russia and other despotic regimes. His plea will be part of a reported £25m public information campaign to help the public slash their bills.
Putin's crony Yevgeny Prigozhin about U.S. elections: "We have interfered, we're interfering and we will continue to interfere. Carefully, precisely, surgically and in our own way; we know how to do it."
The Moscow Regional Court ruled Tuesday to uphold the sentence. In the ruling the court stated, however, that the time Griner will have to serve in prison will be recalculated with her time in pre-trial detention taken into account. One day in pre-trial detention will be counted as 1.5 days in prison, so the basketball player will have to serve around eight years in prison.
Griner took part in the hearing via video call from a penal colony outside Moscow where she is imprisoned.
watched the first two (of seven) videos
lot of material (short clips that are somewhat disjointed)
some show interesting shots of the time period, movements, protests and people in the country side struggling
impossible to not feel for the victims of communism and its variants but overall too much runway (seven hours) for something that could have been done in ninety minutes
i mean if you've got the time sure
Yeah, Adam Curtis' works all are quite epic, drawing from the BBC's camera vaults recorded over decades and putting them together into a collage of his own making. They remain a human legacy of documenting societal and political changes during our life-times.
I was asking you a question to sustain my empathic thoughts. No more, no less hon...

Bud honey? So are we talking bees with a taste for cannabisquits? Asking for a head...
No idea where you're coming from with bisquits and head. Heads are needed, and they tend to die in numbers, lately. Was just trying to be friendly with the pal from Fla, not trying to chase anyone away. Well, that might have gone wrong. *blush*
Ah. Oh that was just me riffing. No worries. The context was lost on me. My bad. Bud and hon sounded somewhat condescending and I know miamizsun to be thoughtful and non-confrontational so I thought something might be lost in translation and it was except I was the one lost to the point. lol. I didn't mean to interrupt your conversation. carry on...
