Gaza ground war could be ‘Mogadishu on steroids,’ says former US General Petraeus

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:55:32 GMT

BERLIN — A military ground offensive by the Israel Defense Forces in the Gaza Strip would last years and involve horrific fighting, David Petraeus, who served as a top U.S. general in both Iraq and Afghanistan, told POLITICO’s Power Play podcast.Speaking after the brutal attacks by Hamas militants on Israel which left 1,400 dead and thousands injured, the former director of the Central Intelligence Agency warned that pursuing the IDF’s bombing campaign with a land invasion “could be Mogadishu on steroids very quickly.”Citing the 1993 incident in which three American Black Hawk helicopters were shot down in the Somali capital, prompting bloody urban fighting as American forces struggled to rescue crash survivors, Petraeus said the IDF faced a similar reality inside hostile territory if it engaged on the ground. “If they’re [Hamas] as creative in the defense as they were in that horrific, barbaric, unspeakable attack, then you’ll see suicide b...

To ban or not to ban: Fixing the EU’s global plastic waste mess

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:55:32 GMT

The EU has vowed to clean up its act and cut back on dumping its waste elsewhere. For communities in low-income countries bearing the brunt of Europe’s trash, that can’t come fast enough.A joint investigation by POLITICO, Lighthouse Reports and other global media partners highlights what an uphill climb that effort will be, as legal loopholes and a lack of transparency facilitate the flow of illegal exports to countries like Myanmar, where local communities are confronted with the pollution caused by ever-growing mounds of trash.The investigation — backed by on-the-ground reporting and interviews with policymakers and waste experts — comes as EU lawmakers and countries consider an all-out ban on plastic waste exports as part of a broader revamp of the bloc’s waste rules. As part of the revision, the European Commission has suggested tightening the conditions under which recyclable plastic waste can be exported to non-OECD countries, suggesting they must express...

McCaughey: $12B for U.N. a waste of taxpayer money

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:55:32 GMT

The United Nations is useless.The United States is pouring more than $12 billion a year of our tax money down the U.N. rathole and squandering a better opportunity.The dream behind the U.N.’s founding, to provide an international forum for peaceful cooperation and the prevention of war, doesn’t have to be discarded.America should lead the democratic nations to establish a new forum and junk the U.N.The U.N. lends legitimacy to ruthless, despotic regimes and even a terrorist organization, Hamas.The current crisis in Gaza shows the U.N.’s true colors. For years, the U.N. refused to label Hamas what it is — a terrorist organization like ISIS or Al Qaeda. In 2018, then-U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley sounded the alarm about Hamas’ plans to attack Israeli communities, even alleging evidence of maps and raid plans. Haley urged the terrorist designation, but the U.N. refused to act.Last week, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned Hamas’ terror at...

Love bytes on new season of ‘Upload’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:55:32 GMT

Greg Daniels’ job on Prime Video’s “Upload,” the sexy sci-fi series he created whose third season streams Friday, is one that’s never listed in the credits.“I’m the showrunner, which means that’s the equivalent of the director of a movie. In the sense that I approve all the scripts, all the cuts, all the visual effects. You know, I hire everybody. So I’m very involved in the show.”A hit from the start – “It’s the number one, most viewed half-hour on Prime Video,” Daniels, 60, noted in a Zoom interview – “Upload” slots as a one of a kind original. Clever, satirical, romantic, mysterious, it’s set in 2033 where when humans die they can “upload” themselves into a virtual digital afterlife.Computer programmer Nathan (Robbie Amell), just 27 and too young to die, finds himself uploaded to the ritzy Lakeview afterlife. His handler Nora (Andy Allo) finds herself falling in love with him.“It’s a very fruitful concept — and it’s really fun because of the two worlds,” D...

Lucas: Biden in Middle East all talk, no action

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:55:32 GMT

If history is any judge, President Joe Biden’s warning to Iran on Israel will go the way of Barack Obama’s 2012 “red line” warning to Syria’s Bashar al-Asaad to stop using poison gas to kill his opponents.Nowhere.And his personal grandstand visit will make little difference.And that is too bad for the Americans held hostage by Hamas in Gaza, and too late for the Americans already killed by the terrorists who invaded Israel and launched a grisly killing spree.Like Obama before him, Joe Biden will fold. He will not punish the Iranian terrorist schemers behind it all.It is not in his nature. He is an appeaser, like Obama, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton and their ilk in the Democratic Party.Back then, Obama vowed that Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, fighting forces seeking his ouster, would face military consequences if Assad used chemical weapons against them.Within a year Assad launched a deadly sarin gas attack on a suburb of Damascus he allegedly thought harbored rebels. Instead, he u...

‘Simply the Best’ concert pays tribute to Tina

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:55:32 GMT

In the ’80s, Tina Turner told her manager, “My dream is to be the first Black rock ‘n’ roll singer to pack places like the Stones.”Tina would go on to pack stadiums — she thrilled 180,000 fans at Rio’s Maracanã Stadium in Brazil in 1988 while setting the record for the largest ticketed concert by a solo artist. But look at the whole quote, she made it clear, she was a rock ‘n’ roll singer.“She’s one of the few women of color who declared that and was able to carry that through their career,,” Kameelah Benjamin-Fuller told the Herald. “It was a pioneering move for her to really claim that. The songs that she covered, the artists that she worked with, her approach to songs, even if they weren’t written as rock songs, they definitely had a rock infusion.”Paying honor to the icon, Benjamin-Fuller is co-producing “Simply the Best: A Tribute to Tina Turner” on Saturday at the Burren in Davis Square. The night will be co-produced by Christina Alexander, a fellow singer and Benjamin-Fuller’...
