Week in Review: 2023, week 35

Published: 2023-09-04Quote of the WeekScott Horton: (paraphrasing) The ledger writ by War Party US politicians is that Russian soldiers are valuable to kill. US soldiers are only valuable because if they're killed it results in political pressure. There's no value in the tax dollars being spent, or Ukrainian lives.Napolitano: Sorry to say I agree with you. I mean, I'm not sorry to say I agree with you. I'm sorry that's the state of affairs.SourcesYesXorNoGabon: Et tu Brute?, YesXorNo, YesXorNo, 2023-09-02AnitwarAfrica/Niger+GabonNiger Places Military on 'Maximum Alert' Over Fears of ECOWAS Invasion, Dave DeCamp, Antiwar, 2023-08-27ECOWAS Sanctions Preventing Food and Aid Deliveries to Niger, Dave DeCamp, Antiwar, 2023-08-29Niger Orders Police to Expel French Ambassador, Dave DeCamp, Antiwar, 2023-08-31Pacific/ChinaPhilippines, Australia Practice Retaking Island in South China Sea, Dave DeCamp, Antiwar, 2023-08-27US Navy Commander Says China Must Be 'Challenged' in the South China Sea, Dave DeCamp, Antiwar, 2023-08-27Philippines, Australia Plan to Conduct Joint Patrols in South China Sea, Dave DeCamp, Antiwar, 2023-08-29US OKs First-Ever Foreign Military Financing Arms Package for Taiwan, Dave DeCamp, Antiwar, 2023-08-30British Parliament Calls Taiwan an 'Independent Country' as FM Visits China, Dave DeCamp, Antiwar, 2023-08-30US Military in Talks to Build Port in Northern Philippines Facing Taiwan, Dave DeCamp, Antiwar, 2023-08-31China Outlines 'Obstacles' to Resuming High-Level Military Talks With US, Dave DeCamp, Antiwar, 2023-08-31Middle EastIran Summons Swiss Diplomat Over Iranian Oil Stolen by US, Dave DeCamp, Antiwar, 2023-08-28Israeli Airstrikes Put Syria's Aleppo Airport Out of Service, Dave DeCamp, Antiwar, 2023-08-28US Knew Saudis Were Slaughtering African Migrants at Border But Kept Quiet, Dave DeCamp, Antiwar, 2023-08-28Report: US, Israel to Conduct Joint Drills Simulating Attacks on Iran, Dave DeCamp, Antiwar, 2023-08-31US/NATO & AssangeSee OtherUkraine (Boring)Senior US Officials Expect to Back Ukraine Against Russia Into Next Year and Beyond, Dave DeCamp, Antiwar, 2023-08-27Zelensky Says Ukraine Elections Could Happen If They're Funded by the West, Dave DeCamp, Antiwar, 2023-08-27Poland and Baltic States Demand Belarus Expel Wagner Fighters, Dave DeCamp, Antiwar, 2023-08-28Drones Target Western Russian City Near Estonia Border, Dave DeCamp, Antiwar, 2023-08-29US Announces $250 Million Arms Package for Ukraine, Dave DeCamp, Antiwar, 2023-08-29Biden Looks to Prevent Future President From Ending Ukraine War, Dave DeCamp, Antiwar, 2023-08-29Sen.
