The Clintons look worse with each passing year . Bill sabotaged Russia's transition from the USSR :

Economist Jeffrey Sachs has critiqued aspects of U.S. policy during the Clinton administration, particularly regarding the economic reforms in Russia. He argues that the rapid implementation of shock therapy—abrupt market reforms—led to severe economic hardship, social dislocation, and political instability.

Sachs highlights that the approach taken favored rapid privatization and deregulation without adequate support for the necessary institutional framework. He contends that this contributed to the rise of oligarchs and increased inequality, ultimately undermining public trust in democracy and capitalism.

Additionally, Sachs points to the expansion of NATO and U.S. geopolitical strategies as further complicating relations with Russia, arguing that these actions may have alienated Russia and hindered its transition to a stable, democratic state. { https://www.racket.news/p/a-true-shock-economist-jeffrey-sachs }

This perspective suggests that while the intentions behind U.S. policies may have been aimed at supporting reform, the execution and consequences were detrimental to Russia's development in that critical period.

I need to write what should be obvious with respect to the Pager Attack.

Israel has made itself a risk to every one. Security teams around the world are today looking at all electronic devices, and any device that can be in any way connected to Israel is being destroyed. All supply chains are being looked at, and any supply chain that cannot be secured, will not be used.

This is not good news for Israel or the West, and very good news for manufacturers in China & Russia.

A very significant point about the lack of targeting of civilian infrastructure targets in Ukraine as part of strategy (or, again, a lack of IT as part of overall strategy) by Russia. This brings to mind the memory of NATO being brought in (under some pretext) and used to not only to bomb Serbia in 1999, but specifically was NATO air forces used to bomb any and all civilian infrastructure targets in Belgrade- bridges, roads, water plants, the electricity grid , etcetera. With perhaps the nato strategy being to get Serbian population to turn against Milosovich, which I presume is what happened. I understand nato was also brought into Afghanistan, again as an offensive force, to bomb targets there. NATO is a rogue state. It was never used as a defensive force for nato states against any invasion or incursions by the Soviet Union during all that time, because the Soviet Union abided by the terms of Warsaw Pact. But ever since the fall of the Soviet Union, when nato became obsolete, it shows up offensively in all western forms of aggression war. NATO needs to be defunded. And these two wars in Gaza and Ukraine need to be defunded and no longer supplied with weapons by the United States. Or else the wars will never end and be forever expanding.
