"Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law, is leading U.S. diplomatic efforts with Iran while engaged in a lucrative, ongoing, multi-billion-dollar business relationship with the Saudi government.

"Of the six articles that covered the conflict, five appeared in the New York Times. The other article originally appeared in Foreign Policy and was republished by the Washington Post.

The Wall Street Journal, The Associated Press, CNN Wire, The New York Post, The Chicago Tribune, The Boston Globe, and The Los Angeles Times collectively published dozens of articles about Kushner’s diplomatic role in the war with Iran but never mentioned the conflict."

This might be an issue if conflict of interest or the rule of law mattered in the American autocracy

Speaking as an American, living in the United States, we are fed up with these senseless immoral wars that just make the wealthy wealthier. We used to fight for moral reasons and now, we send people to die so someone can have another yacht and a fourth home. We always have money for these meaningless wars, but not a dime to help, we the people.

Who in the US is documenting all the crimes including corruption for the future trials to come?

(It's a rhetorical question, ofc.)

[pettet8@mastodon.social]

@wdlindsy and everyone is watching it in the USA and does nothing.. he gets away with it including his consorts...

[pettet8@mastodon.social]

@wdlindsy does not surprise me and no one does anything ..

[pettet8@mastodon.social]

@Pettet8 At least, those with power to stop it do nothing. Many of us who don't have that level of power are pushing in every way we know to push.
