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

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:03:18 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 Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:03:18 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 Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:03:18 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...

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.
