Adolescent G W Bush: “You’re either with us or against us!” Adolescent geniuses w/Biden throw BRICbats at “unexceptional” nations; insist on “rules-based int’l order” where US makes the rules. How’s that working out for you, Tony, Jacob, Victoria? Uh-oh!

‘United States of Tears’ veteran South African journalist Johan Allers titled Aug 16. interview. Allers was close to Nelson Mandela. I tried to temper the tears by citing the miracle of peaceful turnover of power & reconciliation in S Africa. Why not here!
Neutrality, not NATO, for Ukraine; talks, not escalation, says Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy. Take a look at the map – “Russia is not going anywhere.” Can moderate voices from “Old Europe” prevail? Possible use of “mini-nukes” also discussed on today’s “Critical Hour”.
Why Joe Biden & son, Blinken, & Sullivan may resort to “mini-nukes”, rather than concede Ukraine defeat & NATO “power failure”. Short answer: only 14 months before election AND they have personal stake. If they lose, there is enough evidence for jail time.

Intrusive surveillance enabled by today’s technology but violating the 4th amendment was one focus of a Round Table w/ Larry Johnson, me, & Judge Napolitano who explains ( https://original.antiwar.com/andrew-p-napolitano/2023/08/10/the-fbi-unwittingly-investigates-itself/ ) why the FBI should be disbanded.

What ‘Oppenheimer’ shies away from comes through poignantly/aesthetically in film “8:15 HIROSHIMA: FATHER TO DAUGHTER”, a first-person account of power of forgiveness. Producer Dr. Akiko Mikamo’s parents were survivors. She & Director Heffelfinger discuss:
