Romeo Dallaire's Peace of Shit

Retired General Romeo Dallaire, famous for his UN command in Rwanda and his book about the Rwandan Genocide, "Shake Hands With the Devil", has finally emerged into public view again now that a genocide is being inflicted upon Palestinians - with open Canadian complicity in arming Israel's death squads.

As it turns out, Dallaire does not say a damn thing about today's genocide. There isn’t a single mention of Palestine or Israel, although the Holocaust and "never again" is cited in the first paragraph after Dallaire reminds us he was in Rwanda in 1994.

NATO leads Ukraine to 3 big defeats

With the disorderly retreat from Avdiivka, Ukraine has now suffered three major defeats in a row since its rapid advances in fall 2022 against thin Russian forces in the open plains of the northeast. The Battle of Bakhmut may have caused the Wagner Mutiny, but Zelesnky threw many of his best forces into the battle against a force of mercenaries and ex-convicts promised freedom through service. Feeding the Bakhmut meatgrinder was not a unanimous strategy but General Syrsky had Zelensky's ear and promised a victory. It never materialized.
