 Thanks to Saint Jimmy (Russian American) for bringing this article to our attention... The Iraq War Was A Sham We mark the 20 year anniversary of the fraudulent Operation Iraqi Freedom by reframing it with a new, revealing historiography. Simplicius The Thinker Since the start of the Russian SMO, many people have continued to speciously compare the US’s 2003 invasion of Iraq, called  Operation Iraqi Freedom , with Russia’s efforts in Ukraine. Typically this revolves around demonstrating how much ‘demonstrably better’ ‘superior’ the American forces were in promptly and efficiently defeating a major force, compared to Russia’s—by comparison—thus far ‘stagnant efforts’. The typical shopworn tropes center on how US managed to establish ‘full air supremacy’ while Russia is unable to in Ukraine; how US seized Baghdad in a month, while Russia failed to seize Kiev; how US suffered comparatively few losses, while Russia’s suffering unprecedented casualties, etc. The US invasion of Ira...

  Well this is a little awkward... President Biden pledged during the election campaign:  "I guarantee you we’re going to end fossil fuels." The same President Biden today has - much to the angst of conservationists -  authorized a giant ConocoPhillips oil project in northwest Alaska . The $8 billion Willow oil field development project was initially proposed in 2018. It is set within the 23 million-acre National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska (NPRA), the largest expanse of federal public lands in the country, located on Alaska’s North Slope. ConocoPhillips had initially proposed five pads as part of the project. In the oil industry, a pad refers to a temporary drilling site. Under the Trump administration, the Department of the Interior (DOI) had approved the proposal in October 2020.
