Americans Are ‘Getting Whacked’ by Too Many Laws and Regulations, Justice Gorsuch Says in a New Book
WASHINGTON (AP) — Ordinary Americans are “getting whacked” by too many laws and regulations, Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch says in a new book that underscores his skepticism of federal agencies and the power they wield.
“Too little law and we’re not safe, and our liberties aren’t protected,” Gorsuch told The Associated Press in an interview in his Supreme Court office. “But too much law and you actually impair those same things.”
“Over Ruled: The Human Toll of Too Much Law” is being published Tuesday by Harper, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers. Gorsuch has received a $500,000 advance for the book, according to his annual financial disclosure reports.

Armed Texas Woman Charged With Making Threats Against Former President Trump
An armed woman from Texas has been arrested after threatening former President Donald Trump in Washington, DC, authorities said.

Atlantic City has launched a large campaign to tackle its homeless issue once and for all, which includes writing up a law to ban people from sleeping in public spaces, officials said.
After the Supreme Court ruled that municipalities can ban homeless encampments, Mayor Marty Small said he would present legislation in the coming weeks to do just that as part of a sweeping effort to clean up the famous Atlantic City Boardwalk.
“We won’t ignore the issue of homelessness in our city, an issue that has been long overlooked,” the Democrat told The Post.

Hillary Clinton has tried a lot of things over the years. Becoming president. Trying to join both NASA and the Marines. Landing at an airport while under fire. But mostly lying a lot.
And that naturally led her to writing a lot of books.
Hillary Clinton is the James Patterson of the political publishing industry. Except unlike Patterson (who did cowrite a thriller with Bill Clinton) no one wants to buy what she’s selling. After losing her final election, Hillary wrote ‘What Happened’, a children’s book ‘It Takes a Village’ and ‘Grandma’s Gardens’ and then ‘State of Terror’ a thriller about the heroics of a fictional Hillary.
You can find most of them in a 99 cent store assuming you can even still find a 99 cent store.
So Hillary, who never misses a grift, decided to belatedly jump on the podcast bandwagon with “You and Me.” If Harry and Meghan could do it, why not her? But unlike Bill, Hillary had never been able to fake interest in other people. And she’s not interesting except as a study in sociopathy. That’s a problem when you expect people to listen to you for 30 minutes or more.
Chartable shows Hillary Clinton’s podcast ranking at 2,793 in America. She reached number 34 in the government category which is like being the speediest elephant seal, coming in just ahead of the podcasts for the Commonwealth Club of California and the National Review. On Audible, Hillary enjoys a whole 18 ratings. That’s the Yelp history of a luncheonette open for less than a year before burning to the ground. Except Hillary’s podcast doesn’t qualify for insurance payouts.
Despite an extra special season finale in December in which Hillary interviewed her husband, no one cared. They didn’t tune in to listen to Gov. Pritzker’s thoughts on abortion, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy’s musings on loneliness, or to Hillary talking to Judy Blume about sex ed.
And so Hillary hit the book trail again.

Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman has expressed concerns about Kamala Harris selecting Governor Josh Shapiro as her running mate for the upcoming election.
According to a report by Politico, Fetterman’s advisors have privately communicated to Harris’ team that they do not believe Shapiro would be a suitable pick. They suggested that Shapiro is more focused on his own personal ambitions and would not be an effective candidate for higher office.
Shapiro is currently at the top of Harris’ shortlist for VP. Harris is reportedly holding in-person interviews over the weekend with the finalists for her selection. She is also scheduled to hold a rally on Tuesday in Philadelphia with her running mate, and Shapiro has confirmed he will be in attendance at the event.

Justice Neil Gorsuch Warns Biden About Supreme Court Reform: ‘Be Careful’
Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch admonished President Biden over his recent push to make changes to the high court.
“I just say: Be careful,” Gorsuch warned in an interview that aired on “Fox News Sunday.”
Last Monday, Biden, 81, unveiled a long-shot reform package for the Supreme Court that Vice President Kamala Harris quickly endorsed.
The package would entail 18-year term limits for justices on the high bench, a binding code of ethics for justices, and a constitutional amendment to effectively reverse its ruling that a president enjoys absolute immunity for official acts.

Moderna Admits COVID mRNA Shots Cause Cancer
Documents have emerged that show Moderna has always known that the pharmaceutical giant’s Covid mRNA shots cause cancer.
The evidence has surfaced as cases of rapidly developing “turbo cancer” are continuing to surge around the world.
As Slay News has reported, cancer diagnoses have been soaring among those who have received Covid mRNA shots.
The cases spike in 2021, after the shots were rolled out to the public, and are continuing to surge today.
A veteran doctor, who has served as a hospital emergency room (ER) physician for over 25 years, recently raised the alarm over a dramatic surge in diagnoses of “obvious” cases of “turbo cancer.”

Elon Musk has responded after fired CNN journalist Don Lemon sued Musk and his social media platform X for breach of contract, after Musk scrapped Lemon’s show on X prior to its debut.
According to a new court filing late last week, Lemon is accusing Musk and X of “fraud, negligent misrepresentation, misappropriation of name and likeness,” along with “unjust enrichment.”
Musk hit back, saying in a Friday post on X that Lemon “made a series of impressively insane demands. We declined. Therefore, there was no deal.”

In 2022, Lieffring received two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine because he believed it was the right thing to do.
About eight to nine months later, Trent suffered a massive sudden cardiac arrest and subsequent brain damage.
The cardiac arrest was apparently due to blood clots.
He tragically died on August 24, 2023.

Pelosi Says US Should Add Biden to Mount Rushmore: ‘Such a Consequential President’
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says the country should honor President Biden by adding him to Mount Rushmore.
The 81-year-old commander in chief is “such a consequential president of the United States, a Mount Rushmore kind of president,” Rep. Pelosi (D-Calif.), 84, claimed in a clip aired on “CBS Sunday Morning Show.”
“You have Teddy Roosevelt up there. And he’s wonderful. I don’t say take him down. But you can add Biden,” she insisted when pressed about whether the incumbent president is really worthy of the honor of getting his massive mug engraved in rock at the iconic South Dakota national monument alongside former Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Roosevelt.

Squad Members Sued for ‘Inciting’ Columbia Anti-Israel Encampment
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and other members of the far-left “Squad” are facing a class action lawsuit alleging that they incited and encouraged anti-Israel protests and encampments at Columbia University earlier this year.
Five students filed the lawsuit anonymously, naming Ocasio-Cortez and Democratic Reps. Jamal Bowman of New York and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota. The lawsuit also names roughly a dozen anti-Israel organizing groups.
“The Gaza Encampment was extreme and outrageous conduct. It was illegal. It violated university rules. Its occupants harassed, followed, physically blocked, intimidated, and bullied Jewish students,” the lawsuit reads.
Two of the five students behind the lawsuit are Jewish. One of them, identified only as “Tim Doe,” spoke about his experience with the New York Post.

Antisemitic Crime Wave Passing Through Canada
In recent weeks, a Jewish school had its windows smashed, shot at, and a synagogue was subject to arson.
After months of setting up Hamas encampments to boycott Jews, woke university protesters learned their efforts were futile.
On yesterday’s episode of The Ezra Levant Show, Levant spoke with Toronto Jewish activist Meir Weinstein about the antisemitic crime wave in Canada.
The other day, a school bus, designated for a local Jewish school, was torched.
Of course, local police departments and Toronto’s socialist mayor, Olivia Chow, are all too happy to turn a blind eye to Islamic extremism. She knows people with those beliefs comprise her voting base.

Canadian Doctor Suspended, Hit With $45K Fine for Prescribing Ivermectin to Treat COVID
A Canadian doctor has been severely punished by the medical establishment for prescribing ivermectin to some of his patients to treat COVID-19.
Dr. Tshipita Kabongo has been suspended and hit with a large fine for prescribing ivermectin to some of his patients.
The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan (CPSS) claimed that the Regina doctor was engaged in unprofessional conduct.
CPSS ruled that Kabongo was engaged in unprofessional conduct for violating a policy that restricted doctors from prescribing ivermectin or “alternative” therapies to patients.
As a result, Kabongo was hit with a one-month suspension starting August 1.

Coutts Defendants Found NOT GUILTY of Conspiracy to Murder, Guilty of Other Charges
Late Friday evening, Chris Carbert and Anthony Olienick were both found not guilty of conspiracy to murder by a jury in Lethbridge, AB. Both men were found guilty of unlawful possession of a firearm for a dangerous purpose and mischief over $5,000. Olienick was found guilty of unlawful possession of an explosive device.
The charges against the two men stemmed from their participation in the 2022 Coutts protest and blockade.
Both men were convicted of the firearm charge for bringing guns with them from their homes — Carbert lives in Lethbridge and Olienick lives in Claresholm — to Coutts. The mischief charge related to their involvement in blocking the Canada-U.S. border crossing with vehicles where the border village of Coutts meets its American counterpart, Sweet Grass, in Montana.
After the jurors read their verdicts, Katherin Beyak, defence counsel for Carbert, told Justice David Labrenz, the judge presiding over the trial, that her client’s detention in police custody since February 14, 2022, meets or exceeds whatever sentences he would receive for the two charges over which he was convicted.

Exclusive: Premier Smith on Tax Cuts, Immigration, Pensions, Policing and Oilers Games
Politics almost always takes longer than people would like, but there are critical moments in politics, such as the lead-up to an election or pending leadership review — like the one Premier Danielle Smith is set to face at the upcoming November United Conservative Party annual general meeting — when politicians, regardless of stripes, seem more inclined to listen to voters.
It isn’t a coincidence that Smith is touring the province doing a series of townhalls right now, just a few months before trust in her leadership will be put to a vote by party membership.
And that isn’t a bad thing.
A politician being accountable and available to answering questions from normal Albertans like you or I just prior to asking for a vote of confidence is a good thing.
We recently asked dozens of UCP MLAs if they support Smith’s leadership, and while their show of unity behind their leader was unsurprisingly uniform, there is no doubt that some in the conservative movement, even some who supported Smith’s leadership bid, would like to see more commitments honoured sooner rather than later.
Rebel News was on location at a recent townhall that was hosted by the Calgary-Lougheed constituency association, where Premier Smith fielded dozens of questions in front of a crowd of nearly 500 on a wide range of topics that were submitted by folks in attendance at the event.
We were fortunate to be joined by Premier Smith for an exclusive interview where we asked when Albertan’s will see tax cuts, or at least a concrete plan for tax cuts. Smith also weighed-in on unbridled immigration, with a disproportionate number of newcomers to Canada making Alberta their home.

RCMP Seized Weapons After Viral Video of Sikh Men Dancing With Firearms at a Wedding in Surrey
Surrey RCMP have seized firearms after a video circulated on social media showing Sikh men and women dancing with guns at a wedding, now confirmed to have been in South Surrey, B.C.
After becoming aware of the video Thursday, Surrey RCMP South Community Response Unit launched an investigation and later in the day confirmed the address where the video had been filmed, police told True North in a statement.
After the address was confirmed, “a Criminal Code investigation was initiated, and contact was made with the property owner,” police said. At around 5:30 pm, SCRU seized “several firearms” from the property owner.
An investigation to identify the individuals in the video is still underway, and “no charges have been forwarded yet,” according to police.
[Comment: I have no problem with what was shown in the video.]

The Wasaga Beach Whistleblower Received a Police Visit, Then Her TikTok Account Was Deleted. Why?
Do we now reside in a world where no good deed goes unpunished?
Case in point: consider the curious case of Natty. She’s a resident of Wasaga Beach, Ont. And recently, Natty took to TikTok to call out some truly odious behaviour occurring down at the beach. Namely, certain people are defecating there — some folks are even burying dirty diapers there, too. It’s beyond grotesque and disgusting.
But what might be even more gross is what happened to Natty in the aftermath of her viral social media postings. Such as, the single mother received a visit from the Ontario Provincial Police. Yes, the OPP recently launched an investigation into this matter. Not about the people defecating on the beach, mind you. Rather, the OPP are investigating Natty, the whistleblower.
As far as we can tell, Natty committed no crime. So why were the police intimidating her in such a fashion?

Baerbock Calls US Missiles in Germany a ‘Credible Deterrent’
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock defended an agreement with Washington on the stationing of long-range US missiles in Germany, citing the threat Russia poses to European security.
“Making foreign policy today means recognizing that the principle of hope will not protect us from [Russian President Vladimir] Putin’s Russia,” Baerbock wrote in an opinion piece for the German weekly Bild am Sonntag newspaper.
“What protects us now is that we invest in our own security and strength — in the EU, in NATO and in Germany. And this includes the decision to deploy long-range American weapons systems,” she added.

Berlin: Thousands March in COVID-19 Pandemic Skeptic Protest
Several thousand people on Saturday joined a street demonstration and rally in Berlin organized by Germany’s “Lateral Thinking” protest movement.
The protest faction, best known for staging demonstrations against COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, was calling for a reassessment of government measures and “consequences for those responsible.”
However, a large contingent also protested against the German government’s push to rebuild the country’s military.
How the protests unfolded
The demonstration moved along the German capital’s famous Kurfürstendamm shopping street toward Berlin-Tiergarten.
There, a stage had been set up for a “freedom, peace, joy” rally organized by the movement’s initiator Michael Ballweg.
Many participants in the march protested against the policies of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s center-left-led coalition government.
Some carried placards for the fringe political party The Basis, which is seen as aligned with the Lateral Thinking movement.
Among the statements on display was “Peace-ready, not war-ready,” a reference to the statement by German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius that Germany must be prepared for conflict with Russia by 2029.

Claims That ‘Carbon Emissions’ Cause ‘Global Warming’ Are False, Study Finds
A new peer-reviewed study from a group of top researchers in Greece has found that the globalist anti-carbon narrative is a hoax.
According to the study, popular claims that carbon dioxide (CO2) changes drive temperature changes currently or throughout the distant past are false.
The researchers assert that these claims, often used to advance the globalist green agenda, “are based on imagination and climate models full of assumptions.”
The comprehensive new study details a stochastic assessment determination of the sequencing of CO2 variations versus temperature variations since the 1950s, over the last 2,000 years (the Common Era), and throughout the last 541 million years.
The unimpeachable conclusion is that the causality direction — with the understanding that causes lead and effects lag — clearly shows the temperature changes lead and CO2 changes lag on yearly, decadal, and centennial/millennial scales.

U.K. Man Jailed for 4 Months for Carrying Legend of Zelda Replica Sword
Many video game enthusiasts appreciate the novelty of owning replica weapons brandished by their favourite characters, but one U.K. man is facing jail time for carrying a copy of a Legend of Zelda sword in public.
Police in the county of Warwickshire said they arrested 48-year-old Anthony Bray in the town of Nuneaton on June 8 when he was seen on CCTV carrying a replica “master sword” from the popular video game series.
Bray carried the six-inch blade inside a blue and gold sheath that could release the weapon with the press of a button. On Tuesday, the Warwickshire Police Department announced Bray has been sentenced to four months in prison for carrying the sword through public streets and the town centre.
The authority claimed Bray “approached officers with the item in his hand visible,” leading to his arrest.
Bray told police the sword, which he purchased online, was a “fidget,” a catch-all term for devices, often similar to toys, designed to keep a user’s hands busy.
“Officers tried to explain to Bray that, despite its intended purpose, it was in fact a sharply pointed item which could be used as a weapon and might put others in fear of it being used against them,” the Warwickshire Police wrote in a news release.
[…]
He was sentenced on June 28 and was required to pay a victims’ surcharge of £154 (about C$270).
“We take a zero tolerance to bladed articles in public, and Bray has fallen afoul of this,” Sgt. Fern Spellman said. “It is possible to find fidget toys that aren’t six-inch blades. It is possible not to walk down the street holding them out in front of you.”
Spellman said Bray could have avoided the entire instance “with a bit more self-awareness.”

UK: Clashes Break Out Between Rival Groups After Protest
Clashes have broken out between rival groups after protests in Bolton town centre.
Police officers in riot gear and mounted on horses have been trying to separate two groups — one waving England flags and the other mainly including Asian men.
Fireworks, bottles, tiles and eggs were thrown as the disorder spread around the town centre.
Greater Manchester Police said it had implemented a Section 34 order in the area, giving officers extra powers to deal with anti-social behaviour, and Section 60 and Section 60AA orders, which grant greater stop and search powers and the authority to insist face coverings are removed.
An anti-immigration protest began peacefully outside Bolton Town Hall earlier, but within half an hour, about 300 people, who mostly had their faces covered with black face masks or balaclavas, charged towards the building.
They began shouting “Allahu Akbar” — a phrase meaning God is greatest — as they arrived at one side of the town hall, where a separate group had gathered waving England flags.
Police officers in full riot gear, with batons raised, were swiftly joined by a line of horses.
At one point, amid a further cry of “Allahu Akbar”, eggs were thrown at the officers, before the group began charging around streets in the town centre.
Both groups then met up in another street, where they were kept apart by police lines, but were close enough to throw bottles, broken tiles and launch fireworks at each other.

UK: No 10 to Hold Cobra Meeting After Weekend of Escalating Violence
There will be an emergency response meeting in Downing Street on Monday after more than 150 people were arrested following violent disorder in UK towns and cities over the weekend.
It comes after Sir Keir Starmer condemned an attack on a hotel housing asylum seekers in Rotherham and promised those involved in unrest would face “the full force of the law”.

Watch: Is Tommy Robinson Responsible for Unrest in the U.K.? Ezra Levant on England’s Recent Riots
Rebel News publisher Ezra Levant made an appearance on Indian news outlet CNN-News18, discussing the recent riots in England after a 17-year-old boy went on a stabbing spree, killing three young girls.
Some, including Prime Minister Keir Starmer, have taken aim at the so-called “far right” for the riots, which lead the Indian outlet to ask: is Tommy Robinson somehow responsible for the unrest?
“The police are afraid of being called racist if they enforce the law, that’s a perception by many people,” Levant explained, referring to Robinson’s rallies against two-tier policing in the country.
Levant also discussed Robinson’s recent arrest under an anti-terrorism law following a patriotic rally on July 27.
“It was actually a perfect example of the abuse of the legal system, two-tier policing,” he said. “No one has ever accused Tommy Robinson of being a terrorist, so to arrest him under the terrorism act shows that police are being more than a little bit abusive.”

Lebanon Marks 4 Years Since Beirut Blast: Families Seek Justice Amid Impunity
Lebanon marked four years since a horrific explosion at the capital’s port shook the country killing more than 230 people, causing 7,000 injuries and destroying swathes of Beirut.
Not a single person has been held to account for the fourth largest non-nuclear explosion in the world, and details into what led to the blast remain elusive.
Carrying photos of their loved ones they lost to the explosion, along with roses, Lebanese flags and signs that read “No to erasing crimes!” and “If justice isn’t served, our voices will remain screaming,” the families led two simultaneous marches, one from the Martyrs’ Square in downtown Beirut, and another from the fire station in Karantina to meet in front of the Beirut port to commemorate the blast and demand justice, just as they have done for the past four years.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine has sunk a Russian submarine and hit a Russian airfield in the past 24 hours, in line with a surge of long-range attacks against Russian targets, officials said. Russia said Ukrainian drones also hit an apartment building, killing one person.
The uptick in attacks since July come as Ukraine mounts pressure on allies to allow it to use long-range missiles to strike targets in Russia. Western allies, in particular the U.S., have so far resisted, fearing escalation from Moscow.

Bangladesh: Nearly 100 Dead, More Injured in Protests
The death toll have surpassed 90 deaths after clashes between protesters and supporters of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s government in one of the deadliest days in Bangladesh since anti-government demonstrations started.
The Interior Ministry declared an indefinite nationwide curfew from 6 p.m. local time, in the first such move since the protests started.
The student protest began last month as a call to eliminate a controversial quota system for public sector recruitment, which the country’s Supreme Court has now all but scrapped.
It has since transformed into a broader anti-government movement.
Protesters returned to the streets this week in huge numbers, in an all-out non-cooperation movement aimed at paralyzing the government and demanding the prime minister’s resignation.

Top Japanese Scientists: ‘Persistent Adverse Events’ Continue Long After COVID Vaccination
A team of prominent Japanese medical researchers has revealed that the side effects associated with Covid mRNA shots continue for a long time after the injection.
The new study, led by Dr. Haruka Hikichi, MD of the Department of Internal Medicine and Clinical Laboratory Medicine at Akita University, found that injuries from Covid shots can act like a ticking time bomb, with adverse events emerging long after the injection was received.
The peer-reviewed study was published in the prestigious Cureus medical journal.
The research team, which includes Professor Shigeharu Ueki, MD PhD, a renowned allergist and immunologist specialist, sought to better understand the nature of reported adverse events following Covid mRNA injection.

An Arizona judge has rejected language in an abortion initiative that used the phrase “unborn human being,” determining it to be too partisan. The initiative, brought forward by a coalition of pro-abortion groups, aims to expand abortion access in the state from 15 weeks to 24 weeks, which is more than half way through a human pregnancy. Republican lawmakers had attempted to include the phrase “unborn human being.”
A coalition of pro-abortion groups known as Arizonans for Access, which includes the ACLU of Arizona and Planned Parenthood of Arizona, announced earlier this year that they had enough signatures to put a measure on the ballot in November. If passed, the measure would create a “fundamental right” in the Arizona constitution to have an abortion at any point before “viability.” Additionally, abortion would be allowed up to 40 weeks in cases where it is sought for “the life or physical or mental health of the pregnant individual,” according to Live Action.

JD Vance Laughs Off ‘Weird’ Label, Points to Democrat-Backed Child Sex Changes
Vice presidential candidate JD Vance has responded to the Democratic strategy of portraying him as “weird” by pointing to the radical policies of the left regarding sex changes for minors and allowing biological men to compete in women’s sports, both of which rest on the lie that a person can actually change their sex.
In an appearance on Fox News on Sunday morning, Vance was asked about Democrat efforts to label him as “weird” to the American public. Vance laughed off the characterization, calling it “projection” from “people who want to give transgender hormones to 9-year-old kids and want biological males to play in women’s sports.”

Sunday Chronicle:
The rationality of Putin and other world leaders
Published on August 4, 2024 by Karl-Olov Arnstberg
At a conference in Romania at the end of July this year, Viktor Orban said that Vladimir Putin is acting hyper-rationally and that Europe’s leading politicians should come to their senses before it is too late. “Capture their reason”, it is the same as saying that they do not act rationally – but that they should. A couple of weeks earlier, Viktor Orban traveled on his own initiative to Ukraine and met Zelensky, to Russia and met Putin, and to China and met Xi Jinping. The purpose of trying to bring about peace negotiations. For the warmongering leadership of the EU, this was something that had to be punished. I grab my forehead and can’t help but agree with Orbán. It is high time for the EU to start acting rationally.
One of the United States’ most outspoken critics of NATO’s proxy war in Ukraine, political scientist John Mearsheimer, has written the book “How States Think: The Rationality of Foreign Policy” together with another political scientist, Sebastian Rosato. It came out a year ago. In the introduction, the two political scientists argue for what Viktor Orbán said, namely that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine was a rational act.
For me, who has read a good handful of Putin’s speeches posted on YouTube, the finding that Putin thinks and acts rationally was no surprise, but both in the Swedish and American public such a finding is like spitting into the wind.
When the invasion was imminent in February 2022, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that the United States and its allies might not have done “enough to deter an irrational actor and that Putin was thinking illogically because he did not see the catastrophe that lay ahead.” US Senator Mitt Romney drew the same conclusion, saying that “by invading Ukraine, Putin has already proven that he is capable of making illogical and self-destructive decisions.”
The assumption underlying both of these statements is that rational leaders only start wars if they are likely to win. Since Putin was certain to lose, he was not rational. Other critics argued that Putin was not rational because he violated a basic international norm. The only morally acceptable reason for going to war was self-defense, and the invasion of Ukraine was a war of conquest. Russia expert Nina Khrushcheva argued that “with his unprovoked attack, Putin joined a long line of irrational tyrants”, and she went on to argue that he had delusions of grandeur and seemed obsessed with restoring Russia’s status as a great power, with a clearly defined sphere of interest of his own. The exclusive American magazine Vanity Fair called Putin “a power-hungry megalomaniac who harbors imperial ambitions, to the point that he decided to attack a neighboring country”. The former British ambassador to Moscow, Tony Brenton, argued that Putin showed through this invasion that he was an “unbalanced autocrat”, not the “rational actor” he once was.
However, rationality is not about results. Contrary to popular belief, we cannot equate rationality with success, any more than we can equate non-rationality with failure. Rational actors often fail to achieve their goals, not because they are unlucky in their thinking but because of factors they can neither predict nor control. There is also a strong tendency to equate rationality with morality, as both qualities are considered to characterize enlightened thinking. But even this is a mistake. Rational politics can violate generally accepted norms of behavior and be brutally unjust.
Mearsheimer and Rosato write that rational decision makers are theory driven; they are homo theoreticus. Rational decisions in international politics rest on credible theories about how the world works.
Russia’s decision to invade Ukraine was rational. Most commentators disputed this claim, arguing that Putin was bent on conquering Ukraine and other countries in Eastern Europe to create a larger Russian empire, something that would satisfy a nostalgic longing among Russians but only extinguished life and created unrest in the world. Joe Biden claimed that Putin aspired to be the leader of Russia who united all Russian speakers, saying it was irrational. Former national security adviser H.R. McMaster said: “I don’t think he’s a rational actor because he’s afraid, right? What he wants to do more than anything else is to restore Russia to national greatness. He is driven by it.”
– end of part 1
– Part 2
But the fact is that Putin and his advisers thought in terms of a simple balance of power theory and viewed the West’s efforts to turn Ukraine into a bulwark on Russia’s border as an existential threat, which was unacceptable. Putin outlined this logic in a speech explaining his decision to go to war: “With NATO’s eastward expansion, the situation for Russia has become worse and more dangerous with each passing year. . .. We cannot remain inactive and passively observe this development. That would be completely irresponsible of us.” He continued: “For our country, this is a matter of life and death, a matter of our historic future as a nation. This is not an exaggeration, it is a fact. It is not only a very real threat to our interests, but to the very existence of our state and its sovereignty. It is the red line that we have talked about on many occasions. They have passed it.”
In short, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was, from the Russian point of view, a war of self-defense. It aimed to prevent a negative change in the balance of power. It is worth noting that Moscow preferred to deal with the growing threat to the country’s borders through diplomacy, but the United States and its allies were completely uninterested in accommodating Russia’s security policy interests. Against this background, Putin chose war.
The Russian decision to invade was also the result of a deliberative process. Many observers argued that Putin acted alone, that he ignored his civilian and military advisers, because they would have dissuaded him from this quest for an empire. As Senator Mark Warner, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, put it: “He hasn’t had that many people who have had direct contact with him. So we are concerned that he has become delusional. He believes that he himself is the only historical person who can rebuild the old Russia or recreate the notion of the Soviet sphere.” Former Moscow ambassador Michael McFaul claimed that Putin was “deeply isolated, surrounded only by yes-sayers who have cut him off from correct knowledge”.
The available evidence speaks a different language. Putin’s subordinates shared his view of the threat Russia faced and he consulted with them before making decisions about war. That the Russian leaders agreed on the dangers of Ukraine’s relationship with the West is reflected in a 2008 memorandum by then Russian ambassador William Burns, in which he warned that “Ukraine’s entry into NATO is the clearest of all red lines for the Russian elite (not only Putin ). In more than two and a half years of conversations with well-informed Russians, from cavemen in the darkest recesses of the Kremlin to Putin’s sharpest liberal critics, I have yet to find anyone who sees Ukraine in NATO as anything other than a direct challenge to Russian interests.” Putin does not appear to have made the decision for war on his own. When asked whether the Russian president consulted his most important advisers, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov replied: “Every country has a decision-making inner group. In this case, the inner group that exists in the Russian Federation was fully exploited.” Thus, the Russian decision to invade Ukraine was not only rational, but rested on a realistic assessment of what threatened Russia.
Many great powers are said to have acted non-rationally when in fact they acted rationally. The list includes Germany in the years before the First World War and during the July crisis, as well as Japan in the 1930s and during the run-up to Pearl Harbor. This is not to say that states are always rational: the British decision to bow down to Nazi Germany in 1938 was not rational, nor was the American decision to invade Iraq in 2003. But, according to Mearsheimer and Rosato, these cases are among the exceptions. If non-rationality is the norm, the behavior of states can neither be understood nor predicted, and the study of international politics becomes a futile endeavour. Only if other states are seen as rational actors can one anticipate how friends and enemies are likely to behave in a given situation and thus formulate policies that advance one’s interests.

From Swedish by LN.
Putin’s task is the genocide of the Russian and Ukrainian peoples within the framework of the task set before him by his globalist masters. The Ukrainians will be forced out to Europe in order to slightly dilute the Afghans and Somalis with Slavic blacks. And the Russians will simply be destroyed by carpet bombing.
In this way, the very territories with the most fertile soils and mineral resources will be liberated.
The British decision to bow down to Nazi Germany in 1938 was entirely rational. We were rearming as fast as possible, but in no position yet to go to war. Chamberlain’s castigation is unjust (though I might feel differently if I were Czech!)
The extra year gave us time to catch up; by 1940, indeed, our rearmament was still expanding, while the Germans were cutting back- Hitler intended attacking the Soviet Union later than 1941, but brought it forward when he had to abandon the invasion of Britain.
A senior Nazi general (von Runstedt?) was interrogated by the Soviets, who asked what he thought was the decisive battle of the war. He replied “The Battle of Britain”, because an unoccupied Britain became a launch pad for the huge British and American bomber fleets and the Normandy invasion.

The ancient traditions of bacha bazi are now on Italian soil. Google does a terrible job of translating from Italian to Russian. But as far as I understood, a gang of Afghans was harassing young Pakistanis, demanding sexual favors from them. And they dared to refuse. For this, they were slightly cut with knives.
