Is this still in-force preemptive strikes if we suspect a country will attack us?

JW: So your argument is that they were investigating themselves?

DRG: That’s right. Philip Zelikow was the executive director of the 9/11 Commission. He was essentially a member of the Bush Administration and had worked with Condoleezza Rice back in the administration of the first President Bush. Later, Zelikow and Rice wrote a book together. Then Rice brought him on board when she was appointed National Security Adviser for the second President Bush. And then Zelikow was appointed to Bush’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board. Rice, as a member of the Bush Administration, produced the National Security Strategy for the United States of America in 2002. It was first produced by Philip Haas of the State Department, but Rice didn’t think it was strong enough. So she ordered it completely rewritten and brought in Zelikow to write it. This is the document in which theUnited States announces its new doctrine of pre-emptive, preventive warfare. This is the concept that the United Statesno longer has to abide by the old system in which we have to wait until we know another nation is ready to attack us before we can attack them. If our government believes a nation is becoming dangerous, we can attack them years before they get ready to attack us because we just can’t wait any more. 9/11 has proven the concept that we can act preemptively. And it was Philip Zelikow who used 9/11 to marshal that argument. Then he was brought in to conduct the investigation on what really happened on 9/11. So it was an extreme example of the fox investigating the foxes.

This is what happens when you let or make your business partner in crime go to jail, and do absolutely nothing to pardon him. Like your father could even pardon him, but you don’t ask because you are fake painting art and money laundering

Zelensky responds to Trump’s ‘peace in 24 hours’ claim

Ukraine’s leader doesn’t believe the ex-US president can quickly stop the conflict with Moscow should he be reelected

Ukrainian President VladimirZelensky has dismissed former US President Donald Trump’s pledgeto immediately end the conflict with Russia if he returns to the White House, insisting he could not make good on his promise.

Speaking to NBC News for an interview published on Thursday, Zelensky took a brief detour to respond to recent comments from Trump, who has argued he could quickly negotiate a peace deal between Kiev and Moscow.

“Why didn’t he do that earlier?He was president when the war was going on here,”Zelensky said, referring to the fighting that erupted in Donbass in 2014 shortly after Ukraine’s president at the time, Viktor Yanukovich, was ousted from power in Kiev. “I think he couldn’t do that. I think there are no people today in the world who could just have a word with [Russian President Vladimir] Putin and end the war.” (Zelensky is lying, there was no war, and Trump knew they were killing ethnic Russians. Further Obama was president from 2014 to Jan 2017, he sent blankets. There was no war going on under Trump!)

During a CNN town hall event last month, Trump declared that he could “have that war settled in one day, 24 hours,” if he is elected for a second term in 2024. He added that he would schedule talks with Zelensky and Putin soon after taking office. Elsewhere, Trump has described himself as the “only candidate”capable of keeping the United States out of a direct conflict with Russia, which he warned would spark another world war.

Washington’s support for Kiev has already become a contentious campaign issue, with Trump and his main Republican rival Florida Governor Ron DeSantis both questioning the billions in military aid authorized over the last year. President Joe Biden and most Democrats, meanwhile, have vowed to continue backing Ukraine “for as long as it takes.”

Peace negotiations between Kiev and Moscow broke down in April 2022 after Ukraine accused the Russian military of committing atrocities in several Kiev suburbs. Russia has repeatedly denied the allegations.

Last October, after Moscow absorbed four Ukrainian regions following referendums,Zelensky signed a decree that outlined the “impossibility” of holding negotiations with Putin.

The Kremlin has maintained that it is open to peace negotiations in principle so long as Kiev relinquishes its claims to Russia’s newly incorporated territories and agrees to its terms, including a pledge to remain outside of the NATO alliance as a neutral state.

(I think Zelensky just made the worst mistake of his life, Putin is not dumb enough to challenge Trump, or “Crazy Trump” as some world leaders call him. I just made that up “crazy Trump” but it seems plausible. I can’t wait to see what happens with Trump and Zelensky!)

Ukrainian leader boycotted in Swiss parliament

The largest party in the country’s legislature has walked out on an address by Vladimir Zelensky

Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky addressed the Swiss parliament via video link on Thursday, urging lawmakers torevise the country’s policies on arms exportsand rallying more support in the fight with Russia. The speech sparked controversy even before it happened, with the parliament’s largest faction, thePeople’s Party, boycotting it as perceived interference in Swiss affairs.

In his address, Zelensky urged MPs to allow exports – and re-exports – of Swiss-made war materiel to Ukraine, and to take further action against Russian “oligarchs.”

“I know there is a discussion in Switzerland about the exportation of war materiel to protect and defend Ukraine. That would be vital. We need weapons so we can restore peace in Ukraine,” Zelensky asserted.

The speech was ignoredby the right-wing People’s Party, whichholds 53 seats in the 200-seat lower house, the National Council, as well as 6 mandates in the 46-seat upper house, the Council of States. The party vowed to boycott the address immediately after it was announced last month, arguing it wouldconstitute gross interference in Switzerland’s domestic affairs.

“We understand that the Ukrainian president wants to do everything to defend Ukraine. Butwe must not allow ourselves to be put under pressure on the issue of sanctions or arms deliveries,” People’s Party MP Alfred Heer said.

Inviting guest speakers is a rare occurrence for the Swiss legislature, with only two dozen such events since the 1970s. Moreover,Zelensky’s speechwas thefirst-ever addressto the parliament madeby a foreign leaderover video link.

Switzerland’s long-standing image as a neutral country has already been somewhat tarnished by Bern’s decision to join the West’s Ukraine-related sanctions against Russia. Still, the country has consistently rejected requests to allow re-exports of Swiss-made weaponry to Kiev, despite mounting pressure from other Western nations, including the US.

Earlier this month, the National Council shot down a bill that would have allowed such shipments, rejecting a proposed amendment to the national War Materiel Act. The legislation, known as the ‘Lex Ukraine,’ called for a temporary waiver until the end of 2025 that would have allowed the handover of Swiss-made war materiel specifically to Kiev.

Bud Light Loses #1 Beer Sale Ranking, as Backlash Against Anheuser Busch Brands Continue

June 15, 2023 | Sundance | 396 Comments

It was bound to happen anytime a significant brand leader loses 25% of its total market share. According to data provided to Fox News, Budweiser Light beer lost its #1 ranking in the U.S. in the month of May as the critical days of summer sales begin.

This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise given the negative brand image now created for the product. Factually, the only thing that can reverse the trend for the product is time and diminished memory. As consumers associate the brand with a lifestyle, the use of the product will continue to drop. Holding a Bud Light beverage right now is akin to identifying yourself as a transfemme, or wearing pink pants.

(Fox News) – Bud Light lost its top spot in the U.S. beer market last month, as the brand’s sales sagged following a conservative uproar over its partnership with transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

Constellation Brands’ Modelo led the market as it nabbed 8.4% of beer sales from retail stores in the four weeks that ended June 3, according to NielsenIQ data from consulting firm Bump Williams. Bud Light trailed with a 7.3% share.

Bud Light sales fell 24.6% in the period year over year, while Modelo sales jumped 10.2%, the data shows.

Still, the Anheuser-Busch InBev brand Bud Light leads U.S. beer sales so far this year, according to Bump Williams.

The hit to AB InBev’s business marks one of the few times in recent years that online backlash has led to a notable and sustained slump for a major brand. The company’s shares have dropped nearly 15% since the start of April, when Mulvaney posted a video of a personalized Bud Light can, which sparked anti-LGBTQ+ outrage.

In response to the uproar, the company appeared to neither defend the promotion with Mulvaney — a hesitance that angered some supporters of trans rights — nor appease the conservatives who opposed the marketing.

“We never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people. We are in the business of bringing people together over a beer,” Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth said in a statement in April. (read more)

That last statement is particularly laughable from Anheuser-Busch, as if they were victims of something external that was forced upon them.

Anheuser-Busch made a marketing decision with multiple layers of corporate approval. Apparently, no one was in the room to say it might not be a good idea to position their #1 product with a gender fluid promotional effort. Alas, they went full-throated into the foray and are now paying the price.

I’ve never like beer, but this still makes me happy.
