      These muslim nations should learn from indians, how indians with unemployment, worst medical system, communal hatred support hindutva terrorist organization led by modi RSS/BJP to power.
      BJP/RSS/Modi hindutva terrorist organizations wants no iterference in indian internal matters, especially when targeting islam and innocent muslims. That is when demoslishing minorities religious places, atrocities on minorities, taking away rights from minorities, if western world agrees to these conditions. India will support western world in fighting against china.
      This is very strange in so called democratic worlds, if you are weak and fight for your rights against illegal occupant stronger group, you will be called palestine radical or arab terrorist. But, present country Ukraine is also fighting against invasion, and this section of people are called innocent and warriors. This shows the hypocracy of so called democratic countries.
      Anyone hurting human being is wrong. Ukraine after sending thousands of troop to iraq, showed that killing of innocent arab children and arab nation is justified to call themselves strong and developed country. How come ukraine is expecting support and mercy from the world. We need equality and justice for all nations including iraq/syria/palestine/Rohigya.
      Justice should be given equally in Palestine/Iraq/Yemen/arab nations and western world for war crimes. When you hurt innocent children in Palestine/Iraq/Yemen/arab nations you will get the same response and you cry for support from other nations.
      And its Shameful that visa banned Modi never condemned by western world, who is responsible for genocide of minorities. Why USA/UN/UNSC dont condemn and put sanctions on the RSS/BJP terrorist organizations run by modi, were hindutva terrorist are calling genocide of minorities of india.
      Terrorist's who are damaging the property and houses of innocent minorities should be arrested and punished, but under Modi Nazism hate spreaders are protected. Firstly, all the social media platforms should verify the true news and spread the news of hatred and news of call for genocide of minorities by RSS/BJP terrorist's organizations around the world tagging US/UN officials and arab nations.
      Nobody should take the law in they own hands. We are proud of our western world and arab nations who are accommodating minorities hindus to earn bread and butter to they families in our country. RSS/BJP/hindutva Indians need to understand Hindus are minorities all over the world except india. If every country western world or arab nation starts kicking indian hindus out of they land, Modi/BJP/RSS will not provide bread and butter to your family. So every indian should think wisely and dont pretend that you are the frog in the well and there is no world outsid

Without googling, & if I remember it correctly, Hasan attended Oxford or one of the top 2-3 British universities...
      He's very well read and very articulate and persistent in character... I found it a bit interesting he let go of his British citizenship and became an American citizen last year or so... he noted of the change of citizenship when he first appeared on MSNBC, guest hosting, filling in for other hosts at the station.
      His youth, well read-ness, persistence, and articulate nature soon landed him a more long term, more permanent spot at MSNBC... especially with Rachel Maddow starting to wind down her full time daily show... to focus more on some weekly forum only...
      Hasan and Lawrence O'Donnel are the only two guys I watch short clips from, a few times a week...

      For months now, tens of thousands of US and NATO troops have been positioned along Ukraine’s western borders, with the most sophisticated war machinery in the world. Their leaders have issued thundering threats to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
      3 new bio labs were constructed in Odesa, Ukraine and funded by the US embassy in Ukraine in 2010.
      l well let´s start with Kosovo which got its independence through US bombing it "free" from Serbia. It´s one example. When Ukraine was a coup by the USA in 2014 the constitution of Ukraine fell. Crimea and later the Donbas republics declared themselves independent because Ukraine constitution was nonexistent. Crimea and the Donbas republics didn´t want to suffer the same genocide that Ukraine nazis did in the city of Odesa in May 2 of 2014 where the nazis killed about 90 civilians. So the summary is to escape a genocide from the ukraine nazis (that helped the USA with the coup in 2014) the republics declared themselves independent and chose to defend the republics and their citizens. The Ukraine nazis have killed more than 13.000 civilians in Donbas over the past 8 years!
      US and NATO have broken the Minsk Agreement on Russia’s doorstep with Ukraine’s help. They forced Russia’s reaction. Ukraine brought this on themselves.

    Well done. Thank you. Ukraine feels like a very "existential" war in so many ways. The level of hatred unleashed by Putin this past week is stunning. Kind of like the "final solution" when it got underway emptying the ghettos in Europe and rounding up Jews in France--ultimately in Italy. Weird how a single MAN with a twisted philosophy can command the attention and suffering of an entire world.

      @don s Well your second point was Bashar Al Assad. People take prisoners in wartime ya. Are they being put in work concentration camps like the Jews no. False flags have been used as a primary means of invasion for thousands of years. His speeches aren't really relatable to Hitler. They do make me think of Fidel Castro when a bunch of his people were fleeing to the U.S. upon an agreement, and he basically said the same thing. Them leaving will make us who remain stronger.
      Well you got one point right. There are many horrible people in the world throughout the centuries, but to relate them all to Hitler makes you look unintelligent, and childish.
      You could honestly do similar things to the U.S.
      False flag for Iraq only Tony Blair and Bush found WMDs, but the rest of NATO/UN did not.
      Gun ban, one group keeps trying to do this. It was the first thing Hitler did when he annexed an area including Austria-Hungary.
      Joseph Goebbels himself couldn't do better than the propaganda cycles of media censorship, misleading, and big tech censorship.
      They always have to target another group to make their ideals seem better. Well the DNC has campaigned on race, race, hate trump, race, hate republicans, race, and white people bad. Thousands of Americans even signed petitions to have people refusing the Covid vaccine jailed.
      Critical race theory as it was being taught in U.S. schools is similar to how the Hitler youth program was run to make sure you program them while young.
      Even last year this network reported a story "fascist far right wing group protests outside Italian parliament building". That doesn't make sense.

      For months now, tens of thousands of US and NATO troops have been positioned along Ukraine’s western borders, with the most sophisticated war machinery in the world. Their leaders have issued thundering threats to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
      3 new bio labs were constructed in Odesa, Ukraine and funded by the US embassy in Ukraine in 2010.
      l well let´s start with Kosovo which got its independence through US bombing it "free" from Serbia. It´s one example. When Ukraine was a coup by the USA in 2014 the constitution of Ukraine fell. Crimea and later the Donbas republics declared themselves independent because Ukraine constitution was nonexistent. Crimea and the Donbas republics didn´t want to suffer the same genocide that Ukraine nazis did in the city of Odesa in May 2 of 2014 where the nazis killed about 90 civilians. So the summary is to escape a genocide from the ukraine nazis (that helped the USA with the coup in 2014) the republics declared themselves independent and chose to defend the republics and their citizens. The Ukraine nazis have killed more than 13.000 civilians in Donbas over the past 8 years!
      US and NATO have broken the Minsk Agreement on Russia’s doorstep with Ukraine’s help. They forced Russia’s reaction. Ukraine brought this on themselves.

    Colonel House, who was Woodrow Wilson's primary political adviser, was also a great fan of Mussolini. The Colonel used to like to tell every one that 'he had taught Mussolini everything he knew." That ended not long after FDR came into office and things started getting unsavory in Europe. The two fasces on the wall behind the speaker's rostrum in the House may have come from the terms of Woodrow, but in any case they were entirely appropriate in that era as the axe fastened into the fasces represents the power of the state over the lives of its citizens, and in particular the power of the state to end the life of a citizen. The members who allowed this symbol on the wall knew their Roman history, and anyone that ever read Gibbon would have learned this quite explicitly. As such, those fasces are entirely appropriate for a nation that tolerated the murder of slaves and indiscriminate lynching of people of color without any criminal prosecution, and before the Civil War, a society that compensated slave owners with the value of any of the slaves they killed.
