Wow! This was incredible and concise with a great on-point rundown of the need-to-know news with citations. This is exactly what I’m looking for. Thank you.

Do you remember INFACT, Infant Formula Action Coalition. A boycott of Nestle and other formula makers started in 1977. The companies were giving mothers of newborns in other countries infant formula until their breasts dried up. Then the companies would cut the new mothers off. This forced the mothers without resources to water down the expensive formula. Infants suffered.

Like everything else big business is feeding off Americans now that they have abused other countries for every cent they had.

Your inferences are spot on! Thank you, as always. The edges do, indeed, matter the most. The money is built on the labor and cost to those on the margins.

any chance you could start pointing out when tRump's language is describing things that are war crimes. I see the main stream press use this phrase(it seems rather casually) but I don't think it really lands in the minds of the American public b/c we are not used to seeing the "crimes" up close or possibly b/c we think at some level the world will not hold him and his sidekicks accountable. Either way, I think it is another example of how the horrific becomes normalized.

Most Americans have not seen/been in war and don't understand why "war crimes" were identified and classified as crimes. Pete Hegseth's comments/approach/'tude about not doing a politically correct war forgets that the rules apply to both sides...to not only protect POWs that we might capture, but to protect our troops should that happen to them. To not only minimize the terror of war on civilians in countries where we are fighting but also if we are attack. What a fool.

And to think we, as taxpayers, may have to pay for the legal defense if this admin is finally called into account.

Thanks as always for your research and insights
