And two of the four groups (Israel and Hezbollah) aren't included, shockingly not a recipe for things to work smoothly.

Guess we know who he works for now

One of my all-time favorite opening scenes, among other things. Love everything Leone made.

one of the aspects of Leone's films that I love is that they bring us into intimate contact with the main characters – their glamour, their absurdity, their subjectivity, their essential, human inscrutability – while also gesturing toward larger political and existential contexts.

I'm not one for unduly slow movies, but in this case, I feel the pace serves a kind of Waiting for Godot-like purpose.

..because Israel wants this war to EXPAND, not end. Bibi doesn't give a DAMN about the US except for the MONEY we keep giving him to commit genocide.

And since Trump has STUPIDLY hooked the US's wagon onto Israel in this debacle, we're fucked.

That's almost half the total population of Lebanon to be killed with the delusional notion that a few Hezbollah fighters might be among those killed, just as Israel killed over 70,000 Palestinians in Gaza when there were fewer than 30,000 Hamas fighters, many of whom are still alive. And then after murdering millions, he wants to kidnap the women and children of Lebanon.

How many war crimes does Israel get to commit with impunity before world leaders do something to stop them?

between Israel and the other side. As long as they can afford a public health system that we can’t.

The U.S and Israel want order with policed peace. Justice is not in the calculus. It never has been.

However neither Trump, nor any other president -- Democratic or Republican would ever do that. Don't ask me why.
