White House Spokesman Says Biden "Not Looking for War with Iran' as Republicans Demand Harsh... If you liked the Iraq War, you're going to love going to war with Iran. Biden should NOT escalate.nationalreview.com/news/white-hou…
For the GOP who argue it sends the wrong signal to Iran, I would remind them that their hero, Ronald Reagan, responded to the destruction of the US Marine Corps barracks in Beirut (which killed 241 servicemen) by withdrawing of U.S. forces from Lebanon & choosing not to retaliate

tinkzorg.wordpress.com/2021/08/16/far… This is a brilliant piece. Worthy of Christopher Lasch's best works. Money quote:
Not sure we can suggest that the fall of Afghanistan is the moment in which the collapse of the current political & geopolitical order becomes manifest to all. What's particularly distressing is the obsession with the nature of the withdrawal, not the totality of the fiasco
At least for a time after Vietnam, the US embraced a less foreign policy adventurism. Even Reagan was wary of excessive militarism. This foreign policy modesty was described as a "Vietnam syndrome", as if it were a seriously bad pathology, even as it kept the US out of crazy wars

@GeorgeSzamuely Trump should not be injecting himself into these scientific discussions (I know, that's asking the impossible). His intervention completely discredited any research done on hydroxychloroquine. There's a Yale paper on HCQ, very persuasive. In regular use in Cuba, Spain, India..1/2
@GeorgeSzamuely Used in combination with zinc greatly increases efficacy and that zinc is actually the main player with HCQ acting as carrier. HCQ is zinc ionophore, proven, and zinc itself has well documented antiviral effects as well as immune boosting effects.
@GeorgeSzamuely HCQ: long off patent, CHEAP, so cheap that peasants in India can afford it. Same w/zinc: literally DIRT cheap. Can't have THAT as our front line defense, can we? if Trump weren't for it, a lot of people wouldn't be against.

Some eye-opening clues in these two articles:

off-guardian.org/2019/11/29/mem…

atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainea…

In brief:

1/7
2/7
 a) gas-oil conglomerate Burisma paid Hunter Biden and his partners far more than anyone has even hinted at--a cool $16.5 million, presumably not for their less-than-evident managerial skills;
3/7
 b) Burisma was actually owned by Ihor Kolomoisky (2nd richest Ukrainian gangster-oligarch; a funder of the ultra-Nazi Azov battalion; chief sponsor of the present Ukrainian president Zelensky; citizen of Ukraine, Cyprus & Israel; and deposed governor of Dnipropetrovsk region)

Overstated threat. US can be supplied with magnetic materials from plants in Thailand for which raw materials are sourced from either Estonia, Australia, Malaysia. Some assemblies are manufactured in the US from components imported from China, Japan and Europe...1/2
but very few advanced rare earths are used right in the US. In addition, the amount of rare earths used in defence is grossly exaggerated. The only rare earths that the US imports in relatively large quantities are low-value lanthanum & cerium for refinery catalyst applications.
As for China's Japanese embargo in 2010, it lasted only 7 weeks because even though Japan needed them from China to make chips, magnets, motors and other components, Beijing also was buying back a lot of those components for its assembly plants.
