I’m so happy this is finally being brought up again. It took over 6 months but your federal government is going to develop an action plan so we avoid more civilian casualties. I wonder what would have happened if General Jim Mattis did not pursue disciplinary action for the soldiers involved in civilian casualties. Don’t get me wrong, in a hostile environment any individual posing a possible threat to American lives should be dealt with. However a political party that never lets a “crisis go to waste” they would have jumped at it and used to bash Mattis and Trump.

I would encourage everyone to read this article in whole.

Direct Quotes:

Months after the August airstrike in Kabul, Afghanistan that killed 10 civilians, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin issued a memo ordering Pentagon officials to develop an "action plan" on how the U.S. military can avoid civilian casualties and more properly respond to them when they do happen.

Austin previously endorsed the decision announced last month to not discipline any of the soldiers involved in the attack that left seven children and three adults dead.

The memo came on the same day as a report released by the federally funded RAND Corporation which found several flaws in the methods in how the military evaluates civilian casualties.

The RAND report said that the "DoD is not organized to monitor and analyze civilian casualty trends and patterns over time," and that the personnel responsible for evaluating incidents where civilians are harmed are often inadequately trained.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) told the AP that the plan is a positive step, but may not be enough to address past military mistakes.

"While a serious Defense Department focus on civilian harm is long overdue and welcome, it's unclear that this directive will be enough," Hina Shamsi, director of the ACLU's national security project, told the AP. "What's needed is a truly systemic overhaul of our country's civilian harm policies to address the massive structural flaws, likely violations of international law, and probable war crimes that have occurred in the last 20 years."

Democrats stuck their heads in the sand a pretended this didn’t happen, now a full on pardon for Hunter? Maybe some shady stuff did happen overseas that the Biden’s made millions off of. Direct Quotes: Devon Archer told the House Oversight Committee on Monday that his former business partner, Hunter Biden, was selling the “illusion” of access to his father, according to a source familiar with the closed-door interview After the interview concluded, a second source told CNN that Archer did affirm to the committee that Hunter Biden was selling the “illusion” of access to his father, but later clarified that the president’s son was actually selling the illusion of access to Washington, DC, and knowledge of how it worked. Rep. Dan Goldman, a Democrat on the panel who sat through the portion of Archer’s interview where he was question...

  https://www.newsweek.com/exclusive-putin-treated-cancer-april-us-intelligence-report-says-1710357 This article kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. There are a lot of “seems”, “sensing”, “rumor” and suggesting so it’s tough to put a lot of faith in the idea that Putin is nearing the end of his leadership. The statement quoted in this article by a Ukraine Intelligence official is the most reliable source. Even though this idea is interesting and may bring some comfort to Ukraine. The world and the Biden administration cannot plan on a soon “expiration date” of Putin. We should have learned that lesson already. Also who is to say that the next Russian “President” won’t have similar ambitions?  Compared to the weak, frail and cognitively failing Biden, everything I’ve seen makes Putin look like a rock star. I disagree with the authors about the long tables in Russia. This article states that the long table “became a baseline against which to measure the Russian presi...
