Chris, why are so many "experts," whether for Biden or Trump, spoiling for a war with Iran? Is it posturing? Will posturing turn into action, whether from calculation or miscalculation? Thanks.
Who will stop Israel? Who will end the Jewish supremacist occupation of the United States government that has empowered Israel? Exactly who? A state actor ? A coalition of states? or the formation of a Global mercenary army? Somehow, The mass murders the ethnic cleansing, the genocide,... the bloodshed will have to be ended. That along with Israel's illegal expansionism and land/real estate theft.
I think the Leahy Law must apply to Israel and anyone in Congress or the Administration who violates this law should be removed from office. What is needed is enforcement. The Department of Justice isn’t doing its job.
Related to your interview with Matt Kennard, how do you see corporate power at work in the fall of al-Assad and what do you think the next move will be to reorganize power in the region to serve corporations?
To what extent do the US fund Kurdish forces in the region and is there shoots of anarchism on these factions? Should greater efforts be made to support these tendencies. Kind regards and keep up the great work, Mick
Looking forward to your livestream! One question I would pose to you is whether the various networks that comprise the Democratic Party are in any way capable of institutional reflection. I wrote a piece recently reflecting on how the party’s institutional corruption from Washington to San Francisco finds support in the co-optation of civil society. My article focused on professional journalists, campaign professionals & consultants, and the ranks of nonprofit organizations dedicated to seemingly visionary goals that routinely trade fidelity to their principles for influence in Washington. https://open.substack.com/pub/shahidbuttar/p/why-democrats-cant-learn-lessons?r=97w99&utm_medium=ios
To what extent has the Party successfully co-opted other potential levers that could otherwise support accountability?
In 1976, here in Missoula Montana, I heard Phil Berrigan add this to an audience question regarding what they did for child care when they went to jail:…”and, besides, my child is no more important than any on the face of the earth.”
It seems to me that the Catholic Church, it’s vicars, viceroys, and laypersons in government, justice, and the pews has been going downhill since. Your thoughts? I mean, like Leonard Leo and Ben-Gvir not only look alike, they are, and Bannon could be any death squad commindant.
Why do people, Republicans in particular, want to get out of Ukraine but seem totally okay with the genocide of Palestinians even as Trump wants to stop the “killing” in Ukraine.
Is there any evidence that you can see of a growing awareness in the Israeli population of the Ponzi scheme nature of the militaristic course of the Netenyahu government? And any sense of growing tensions between the different social and political divisions within Israel as a result of the toll on the society as a result of the war? (e.g. Ashkenazi/Mizrahi). Or as almost always happens, will they remain united against the common enemy? Thank you.
Chris, you have frequently said that the only effective means we have to stand up to corporate power is to strike. Will the rise of AI and robotics neutralize the power of organized labor? What will a strike look like in five or ten years? What will resistance look like besides murdering the CEO’s?
I am Canadian. Could Trump have serious designs on Canada? I am a little nervous and maybe I understand Putin a little better. Russians, who are proud of their culture, may have been alarmed seeing the encroachment of the "Great Empire" ,NATO, prepared to swallow up a huge amount of Ukraine resources.
Chris- Ilan Pappe has said that Zionism will ultimately fail in achieving its goals in Gaza, and beyond. Yet with Gaza now destroyed and Syria being carved up by the U.S., Turkey, and various warring parties as well as Israel, do you think Pappe's belief still holds true? Please comment.

Having used Sunni militants to oust Assad, will the U.S. and Israel now turn on them?

What’s the best way for an average American living a comfortable life to help a person who is living a horrific life in the Middle East?
We need major support for Reps like this guy.

No to any wars anywhere or to attacking Iran.

Why is SA so emboldened to Trump. they gave Jared tht huge fund to manage in spite of his lack of experience. What are they buying? What do they want?
Will Israel try to take a substantial chunk of Syria, not just Israel-adjacent strips of land? And would that be tolerated by the regional powers?
