I don't understand what you're trying to imply here. He was a senior military leader prior to Hitler's assassination attempt, of course he participated in planning military operations.

But hey, nice example of disinformation.

Practically everyone except Nicholas II succeeded in that.

Why do they bother with this show? Do Russians think they live in a democracy? Who is this for?

Yeah, Heusinger was Hitler's chief of staff temporarily when the actual chief of staff got sick. This became a significant event, because Hitler's assassination attempt happened during that time. Heusinger was suspected of being part of the plot, but no evidence was found. After that, he didn't have a senior post in the Nazi German Army.

Also he was appointed chair of NATO in 1960s, so significantly later than WW2.

Also he was apparently never a member of the nazi party nor did he take part in nazi atrocities.

But hey, nice example of disinformation.

Kamala Harris promised to reschedule it right the following day after Biden has won the presidential elections. She added, "and if you don't like the idea of marijuana being rescheduled", and loudly winked three times.

Yet if you look at the neighboring countries, it's better in almost every way.

I say "almost" because there could be some minor ways that some neighbor surpasses them.

it is meant to make Biden look like he’s doing something other than merely prolonging the slaughter by sending arms to Israel.

How does sending arms to Israel prolong the war? It should rather speed up its resolution, I would think?

That was USA's ally. They weren't being supplied out of goodwill.

In the grander scale of global politics, a fact is that Russia is waging an actual war against Ukraine and a covert war against Europe and the West. Another fact is that Palestine has chosen to side with Russia, so in the current situation I see no reason to side with Palestine. I think all resources to help Palestine should be diverted to help Ukraine. When Russia has been contained, we can start thinking about things like Gaza. But until that happens, every diversion just critically weakens us.

It's like a hierarchy of needs, you know? If my neighbor is threatening to punch me in the face, I don't have the luxury of being worried about a potentially worse thing happening on the other side of the city.

This doesn't excuse genocide, if such a thing would be happening, but it sure does give a reason to support Israel over Palestine.
