A few years ago, there was this book about the #US, #DemocracyInChains.
In the #US, the next installment is in the streets, #DemocracyInAStranglehold, the same holds true for #Israel, and, increasingly, #India.

#Trump to abruptly leave a #G7 in Canada a day ahead of schedule to *deal with* [right, cuz he’s so effective at diplomacy] the escalating conflict between #Iran & #Israel, amid Israeli pressure for the #US to intervene militarily to crush Iran’s #nuclear capabilities.

The White House propagandist, Karoline Leavitt, said that Trump left the 2-day summit “because of what is going on in the Middle East,” but did not elaborate.

“Have the Iranians killed an American yet? No. Until they do we’re not even talking about going after the political leadership," said one of the sources, a snr Trump admin ofcl.

Report: US quietly sent 300 Hellfire missiles to Israel before its attack on Iran.

"Hellfire missiles would have been used for precision strikes".

"The transfer of such a large quantity of Hellfires suggests that the Trump administration was well-informed of Israel’s plans to attack Iran".

"The CIA was briefed in April & May on Israeli plans to unilaterally attack Iran’s nuclear sites."

“Are we the baddies?” is not a question anyone in the West has to ask themselves. There’s no question about it. You were. You are. Will you continue to be? That’s the only question that matters and the answer is entirely up to you.

Silence is complicity.

Inaction is complicity.

Apologism is complicity.

Do something!

The European Commission #EC proposed this week to drop the cap to $45, with High Representative Kaja Kallas suggesting that because #RussianOil mostly transits the Baltic & Black Seas, US support for the measure is not essential.

An accord involving all #G7 nations would be more effective because of the strength of US enforcement, but the #US opposes dropping the price cap, Bloomberg reported, citing unnamed sources.

#geopolitics #Trump #Russia #Ukraine #StandWithUkraine


The #G7 introduced the $60-a-barrel cap that restricts the price #Russia can earn from its seaborne #oil. But it has not been effective in curbing the Kremlin's revenues since coming into effect in February 2023, partly because of Moscow's #sanctions-busting "shadow fleet" of older vessels & a slump in oil prices.

#geopolitics #US #Trump #Ukraine #StandWithUkraine


Bloomberg's report that Washington will not back the move deals a blow to Western hopes of limiting Moscow's means to fund its aggression in #Ukraine, especially after #oil prices rose following hostilities between #Israel & #Iran.

#geopolitics #US #Trump #Russia #StandWithUkraine


Revenues from #FossilFuels form the core of #Russia's fiscal planning. As well as targeting Russia's #NaturalGas, the European Commission's 18th #sanctions package proposed lowering the cap on seaborne Russian #oil from $60 to $45.

The #EU measures, which also target Russian businesses & banking, requires the backing of all 27 members. The proposal on Russian oil would need the support of the #G7, which meets later this month.

#Trump tells Reuters 'we knew everything'

Trump is not concerned about regional #war breaking out in the #MiddleEast, he told Reuters in a phone interview.

The #US 'knew everything" about #Israel's strike on #Iran, he said, adding "I tried to save Iran humiliation & death."

"I tried to save them very hard because I would have loved to have seen a deal worked out. They can still work out a deal however, it’s not too late," he said.

In response to Trump's birthday plans, a coalition of opposition groups... will be holding nationwide rallies on June 14—the “ No Kings Nationwide Day of Defiance.”"
