‘I Don’t Give a F*ck About AIPAC,’ Says Mark Pocan

Pocan was drawn into the fracas between progressive lawmakers and AIPAC last month after the group falsely accused him and other representatives of “trying to keep Hamas in power.” The attack came after 10 members of Congress—nine Democrats and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.)—voted against an October 25 resolution pledging unconditional support for Israel’s war on Gaza.

Massie joined progressive Democrats in pushing back against AIPAC, posting on social media that “this baseless smear is meant to intimidate me into voting to send $14+ billion of your money to a foreign country.”

Pocan—who did not vote against the resolution—wrote: “AIPAC is not good at telling the truth. We don’t support Hamas. We just don’t support killing kids, which it seems you do.”

colonel cassad: about complacency

Regarding the articles that have become more frequent in the West about how bad things are with the US in Ukraine. The publication of articles is related to the necessary reflection and anti-crisis, in connection with the collapse of the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The consumer needs to explain why everything failed. The US is to blame for not giving something on time. Stupid Ukrainian generals who don’t know how to fight are to blame. Stupid Ukrainian soldiers who can’t use Western equipment are to blame. The bushes are to blame. The Christmas trees are to blame. The weather is to blame. The Russians are to blame. Putin is to blame. And so on, it’s necessary to emphasize. Ukraine will certainly continue to receive money and weapons to continue the war, already under the stories about the “successful offensive in 2024.” The US is not going to curtail the war in Ukraine. Neither now nor in the near future. Work on this is going on regularly. The fact that it has become more difficult to do does not mean that it will be given up and the war will end by itself. The best way to end the war on our terms is the military defeat of the opposing enemy. It will not be possible to achieve it quickly, so we must be ready for a long struggle with the US and NATO in Ukraine.
