2008 Presidential Debate - US/Russia relations

On September 27, 2008, Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama and Republican hopeful John McCain debated the question of the US relationship with Russia. Although she was not invited to participate in the debate, Green party presidential hopeful Cynthia McKinney, PhD also got a crack at answering the question, thanks to the marvels of (then-) modern technology. COMPARE AND CONTRAST, and consider the history of the intervening 16 years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzEwL6srvV8

The ACTUAL Coup on January 6, 2021

Was the January 6 Capitol Breach used as cover for an actual coup? Trump's criticism of Pence's “failure” has deeper context FEBRUARY 5, 2022 - This past week, former US President Donald Trump again criticized former Vice President Mike Pence for Pence's handling of the disputed 2020 presidential election. Trump said that Pence failed in his duty as the President of the Senate at the January 6, 2021 Joint Session of Congress to ensure the integrity of the election when there were “obvious signs of voter fraud or irregularities.” Recently, Pence criticized Trump's earlier complaints about his handling of the January 6, 2021 Joint Session of Congress, which, as a part of the regular legal process of validating Presidential elections, was convened to certify the legitimacy of the Electoral College votes of the various states. Trump accused Pence of having acted as “an automatic conveyor belt for the 'Old Crow' Mitch McConnell to get Biden elected President as...

WHO Chief: Israel took out 2/3 of Gaza's hospitals

Image
Since the 7th of October, WHO has verified more than 250 attacks on health care in Gaza and the West Bank, in addition to 25 attacks on health care in Israel – hospitals, clinics, patients, ambulances. Last week, WHO documented 5 attacks on 5 hospitals in one day. In the past 48 hours alone, four hospitals have been put out of action, representing some 430 beds. More than 100 of our UN colleagues have been killed - and counting. And as we speak, there are reports of firing outside the Al-Shifa and Rantisi hospitals. Half of the Gaza Strip’s 36 hospitals and two-thirds of its primary health care centres are not functioning at all. Those that are functioning are operating way beyond their capacities. The health system is on its knees, and yet somehow is continuing to deliver some lifesaving care.

What can be done for the people of Gaza?

Image
Over 1 million people have been driven out of their homes by the bombings of the Israelis. No one can claim that a million people belong to Hamas. No one is bothering to make the claim. Impunity doesn't require anyone to make that claim. What kind of response came from people anywhere to what the Nazis did in places like Warsaw Ghetto? Did anyone make any of their embassies feel the kind of siege that was placed against the people who were victims of the Nazis elsewhere? Is there any historical precedent for this?
