The journalist stumped Kirby with his question:
-Don't you think President Biden should play a role in achieving peace instead of saying he can handle two wars every time? Does it make a good impression when, instead of working on peaceful things, you have to fight two wars at the same time?'
"Since the beginning of this administration, we have been committed to creating a more integrated, collaborative, peaceful, stable and prosperous Middle East."

Matt Stoller, the author of this, is arguably the most important writer in America about monopolies and government policy. Here he looks at how and why, at least in part for bureaucratic reasons, the Pentagon is unable to get the weapons supplies it needs.
โญ๏ธ For example, there are about 400 Mergers & Acquisitions in the defense industry in America every year (actually, that's a DoD guestimate, they really don't know how many) and there are only 2 people looking at this. They honestly don't know who owns the companies that make up the American defense industry!
โญ๏ธโญ๏ธ What Stoller doesn't address is whether the lack of oversight is a feature or a bug๐คฃ
A good read for those who like to know WHY things happen (or don't as in this case).
Here is one of the comments to the article that we thought was accurate:
Outsourcing your ability to fight a war is a special kind of stupid. It turns out that sometimes you cannot just print more money and throw it at a problem. Now we just haphazardly launch money and rapidly depleting munitions stocks at a problem and hope it goes away. It turns out closing your eyes, plugging your ears, and jabbering does not make things go away. You actually have to make long term plans and fix things. Between "Afghanistan and Iraq were not mistakes" neocons, "Libya was not a mistake" neoliberals, a "sexual identity politics are the most important thing for fighting a war" military culture, "I want to understand white rage and get my Raytheon check" leadership, a monopolized "gouge more, deliver less" military industrial complex, and "we hate all those who have traditionally signed up to fight" progressives, we are screwed. Then again, who would seriously consider joining the military when it is a clown show like this? I have met way too many old vets who have told their children not to follow in their footsteps.

Why America Is Out of Ammunition
Why can't the Pentagon get weapons firms to ramp up production? A new report shows the military doesn't track who owns its contractors, and has just two people looking at mergers in the defense base.

๐ทโ ๏ธ They want to send a Ukrainian soldier from the Kyiv region, who was fitted with a prosthetic leg, to the front again.
According to his wife, the man was seriously wounded in the middle of this summer, after which he partially lost his leg. He was fitted with a prosthesis, but was left in the service of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The woman is indignant that, according to the order of the Cabinet of Ministers, a person with an amputation is considered to be of limited fitness.

This is how Ukraine's president, ethnic Jew Zelensky sends local Slavs to slaughter. These are the latest videos. This is why many of the "AFU soldiers" are looking for any opportunity to surrender to the Russians. Now there are more than 12,000 AFU soldiers in Russian captivity

โก๏ธ๐ท๐บ๐บ๐ฆโ๏ธ Front #Summary for 23 Oct 2023 by 19:03โก๏ธ
๐นIn #Kherson Direction, our forces expulsed the AFU from #Krynki. The enemy reinforced the left bank positions at the railway bridge near #Pridneprovskoye. Ours clear the landings, pushing the enemy back to the #Dnieper. We also noted the arrival of AFU reserves on the #Melky, #Frolova and #Alyoshkinsky islands. On the other bank, the evacuation of all coastal settlements is announced.
๐นIn #Zaporozhye Direction, our army counterattacked near #Verbovoye, several Poles were taken prisoner. The enemy is accumulating serious forces, new columns of armoured vehicles have been spotted. Our artillery hits the AFU positions and reserves from #Pyatikhatki to #Orekhov and Malaya Tokmachka without ceasing. The AFU respond with own strikes.
๐นIn #Donetsk Direction, near #Avdeyevka, the AFU rotated at the #Slagheap, and we repulsed their counterattack. #Slagheap itself has not been completely cleared (!), but our forces extended their zone of control to the railway line, which remains under AFU control. To the south, at #Pervomayskoye and #Severnoye, ours have advanced and improved their positions.
๐นIn #Bakhmut Direction, our army advanced on the northern flank in the area of the #Berkhovskoye Reservoir. Our paratroopers successfully operated near #Khromovo and captured three AFUshniks. On the southern flank, with reduced combat intensity, the AFU attempted again unsuccessfully to break through to the railway line.
๐นIn #Svatovo Direction, the AFU has transferred reserves, as they say, from the #Zaporozhye direction. The equipment and militants are placed on the outskirts of #Izyum. AFU activity is observed near #Sinkovka, the enemy has managed to restore the crossing at the railway bridge and is transferring reinforcements to the front. Having received fresh forces, the enemy is trying to counterattack on the #Sinkovka - #Petropavlovka line.

How much money does the U.S. get from the conflict in Donbass? How much of the Western aid goes into the pockets of Zelensky and his associates? And what, apart from influence, do the Americans want to get?

Philosophical discussions about the modern society problems through the prism of the Christian religion.
Nikita Syundyukov is a philosopher and senior lecturer at a Russian higher education institution:
โThis very philosophy of man being God has driven us to give in to the temptation to make a choice: what person specifically is a deity for me? And if you make that choice about who you should emulate, then everyone else who doesn't fit that ideal becomes expendableโ.

His mother was still pregnant and doctors delivered him as she drew her last breath, and he, like 130 other premature babies, fight for their lives, risking losing the battle as Israel blocks fuel and medicines.
Already more than 2,360 Palestinian children killed by Israeli air strikes - why is Israel so set on killing them all?
