Today, 58 years ago, on March 16 1968 US Army soldiers committed the My Lai Massacre. The US soldiers raped, tortured and killed between 347 and 504 unarmed Vietnamese civilians, primarily women, children, babies and the elderly, in the village of My Lai. This incident became a significant symbol of the war's brutality and led to widespread outrage and calls for accountability within the US military. Nothing has changed that much since then, except there is no widespread outrage today for the atrocities the US military and its vassals commit on regular basis.

Interesting pov 👀 "Israel is a functionally radicalized proxy that has also served as an ideological and military-operational laboratory and role model for a specific faction of the US ruling strata (neoconservatism and securitocrats), producing a feedback loop in which US imperial strategy and Israeli state logic have become mutually constitutive."

"The war on Iran and the obliteration of Gaza is the beginning. Welcome to the new world order. The age of technologically-advanced barbarism. There are no rules for the strong, only for the weak.

"Burkina Faso launched its 64-billion-dollar National Development Plan (NDP) for 2026–2030, earlier this week on 9 March. The plan is one of the largest economic programs ever proposed in the Sahel. About two-thirds of this money will be raised domestically from the revenues generated by state-owned enterprises and through citizen shareholding programs."

"The big drain on military resources has begun. A war apparently already won (and not), against an adversary supposedly without means to fight back, its air force and navy destroyed, its missile capabilities blunted, is now drawing the clumsy colossus of American power into the Middle East with embarrassing effect. The Middle East, where US President Donald Trump promised the “forever wars” would end, promises an end to his beginning."

Imagine Reuters would put that much effort in investigating important stuff... "The British street artist’s identity has been debated, and closely guarded, for decades. A quest to solve the riddle took Reuters from a bombed-out Ukrainian village to London and downtown Manhattan — and uncovered much more than a name." https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/global-art-banksy/

"The Trump administration authorized Venezuela to sell fertilizers and other petrochemicals to US companies, further loosening sanctions just as the Iran war tightens global supplies of critical crop nutrients. The new measure, disclosed Friday in Treasury Department documents, expands a US effort to gradually reintegrate Venezuela into the global energy market. The White House aims to stimulate the South American nation’s economy after US forces captured President Nicolás Maduro in January." https://archive.ph/3JrvZ
