    What a GREAT interview with Karen Kwiatkowski, ret. USAF Lieut. Colonel:.
    Please have her come back.
    I first started hearing her being interviewed on Judge Napolitano channel.
    She has so much insights, experience in working at the control hub ( Pentagon) military career, history, and common sense analogies, and choralations.
    She dosent hold back! Americans need to hear more of her voice and MESSAGE!

For those of us out on the street for 2 months for a Cease Fire (and in front of our U.S. UN Mission a lot) and making calls to our Reps, and signing petitions to Stop Killing, this is extremely sobering and tough .... and as said, extremely sad... "Stay Alive" Blessings. Yes, stay alive for the witness.

      Even though our politicians don't care, it doesn't mean we should stop caring. Let's keep putting pressure on them, and keep the cause alive. So that the Palestinians know that we support them, care about them, and hear them.

    Thank you for this very interesting and moving interview, Ms. Kwiatkowsky is a courageous woman indeed! It's the end of the West as we know it, and it's fine, but peole will have to adapt: Keep a sane mind, stay informed but skeptical, never stop thinking with your own mind, always defend your right to your own opinion and the political sovereignty of your country, diversify your economic relations to become less dependent, always stay firm and uphold fundamental humanistic rights and values, look for and organize with likeminded persons, reinforce common interests and understanding, and act in solidarity with the vulnerable - thus creating a worldwide wave of humans of good will that are willing to stand up against injustices, wherever they are, in their personal surroundings at least. And from the US government's love of sanctions and boycotts we can deduce that those are what they probably fear most, so let's go ahead (maybe leaving out some communication networks to continue sharing knowledge and spreading our voices). And in Europe, political circles are so full of opportunistic, career-driven individuals, that is why they have no backbones. Relentlessly criticise them and demand that they should, and step into the political jungle as fierce warriors for true peace. Try and be the adults in the room, always, no matter what "position" others hold. Lose your fear, because there is not much to be lost anymore anyway, but a much better humanity to be won!

    • @aliciaczechowski3281
      @aliciaczechowski3281 5 місяців тому

      The aim of the Corporate State is to make all The People feel powerless. It wants you to believe you can do nothing so you will crawl deeper into your comfort zone where you feel insulated from the bad stuff outside. The People no longer ORGANIZE and pressure their "representatives" to serve their constituency. Hired corporate lobbyists seduce and coerce "representatives" to promote the vested interests of a particular corporate entity. Thar's why "democracy" is dead, or dying, in America. However, Ralph Nader is one individual who is still hard at work trying to educate ordinary Americans on how to take the power that is rightfully theirs, back from the US corporate oligarchy.

    She was in the Air Force. It does not surprise me she thinks they can be wiped out. I don’t think they’ll even succeed in occupying northern Gaza. They can drop things from planes. They are very “good” at that. Not so good at anything on the ground or below it though. The Hamas led coalition have had over a decade to prepare for this and nothing Israel has done has been in the slightest surprising. They probably aren’t even sure what other preparations other members of the coalition have made. I think it’ll be a big surprise for the Israeli ground forces.

    I don’t think people in USA have any idea we have lots of Gas Fields in Europe and there is a degree of American exceptionalism infecting their belief that an amazing American bomb laid by amazing American special forces could incapacitate the whole European gas network. I think the biggest gas field is off NL, but there are also rigs off U.K. and Norway. I don’t think whoever planned the bombing would not have spent the 30 seconds it takes to find and look at a map. It is just the other Americans who can’t look at maps and think everyone else is a moron.

    Create a new State comprising Palestine, Israel, and the western one-third of Jordan as the 51st State of the U.S.A. Allow the right of return for Jews, and also for the former residents of Palestine who are now refugees living in Jordan, Lebanon et cetera. Give US citizenship to the residents, who pledge allegiance to our values of liberty and justice for all.

  • @eberger02
    @eberger02 5 місяців тому +4

    I suspect you are being unnecessarily skeptical about Europe breaking from the USA. I speak about here (U.K.) because I have lived here a long time. King Charles III and his government are not popular. The entire of the upper house of parliament is unelected. The Army is tiny. They say British people are bad at rioting but there are plenty of regional ones (eg. ‘Tottenham Riots’: Tottenham is a suburb of London). The problem is that riots do not spread, not that the amount of days spent rioting per person is unusually low. What we need is something to unify different parts of the country (eg. conscription). Almost all the supporters of NATO/Ukraine are either old or too “important” to fight. I literally know not one single person who would be happy to fight for King Charles III and his government. From a U.K. perspective I hope that NATO tries to go to Ukraine because I am so confident conscription will fail here. Similarly I am confident Macron would not be able to conscript in France and Scholz in Germany. Maybe your monarch and their government are more popular than ours but if the big countries of Europe overthrow their leaders they will be less friendly to USA, who is not popular amongst the commoners. The USA is fetishised by the rich elites here , who would be dead or have left the country. I don’t think the USA citizens have any idea how not liked by commoners here they are because King Charles and his politicians love them so much.

      Your analysis of the current situation is spot on... but don't underestimate the evil powers and how they operate to change the current situation into total different reality.. few false flag operations in Europe can mobilize the masses into conscription for larger war.
