    Former US ambassador to the UN and potential running mate for Trump.

    This is what represents us on the world stage.

        It’s sadly more boring than that. Not lizard people, just sociopaths.

        I was trying to find a word for a government ruled by sociopaths but I guess “fascism” fits fine.

    “What America needs to understand is if Israel’s fighting our enemies, how can we not help them,” said Haley, whose missile message also carried the words “America loves Israel”.

    I’M SORRY?

      if Israel’s fighting our enemies

      As far as I know, Hamas has never attacked the U.S. They are not America’s enemies. They are terrorists, they are not to be praised or lauded, but they are not America’s enemies.

      It’s certainly not a defense for killing innocent Palestinians.

    I just want to say that the most disturbing part of this is not that she did this. It’s that this is the message and image that she has carefully decided will help her achieve her career and personal goals.

    Perhaps what could be worse is if she’s right.

    I don’t think she is. I see a lot of signs of the left failing in ways that make me nervous. but recognition of the senselessness of imperialism is not one of these. I think there is a very strong, clear, growing consensus that our foreign policy is terrible. Many people don’t care that it’s terrible for people in other countries, only that it’s terrible for them, but that’s still a win.

    I don’t love the concept of “isolationism” per se, but between that in empire, I’ll choose isolationism every time. I know there is a liberal establishment that finds isolationism more shocking that defunding the police, and I’m glad that they’re upset. This whole global domination thing that Haley and Biden and Lindsay Graham and Mitch McConnell and Nancy Pelosi and Hilary Clinton are obsessed with is just fucking terrible.

    God, I will freely admit: it can get so much worse than Biden.

      I just want to say that the most disturbing part of this is supporting Genocide. The reasons why any individual would support a Genocide don’t really matter, it’s not a justifiable position anyways. But the act of supporting it, totally does matter and that’s the problem.

    Where is everyone calling you a Russian shill now, @return2ozma@lemmy.world? LOL

    edit: My point is that people only give @return2ozma@lemmy.world shit when he post’s anything mildly critical of Biden, but not when he posts anything else. Wasn’t calling him a Russian shill.

    This is going to be unpopular, and I will accept the down votes. Also, I will never support Trump or any of his lackies. However, those on this forum believe that she is writing that as “finish them” towards the Palestinians, when in actuality I bet she’s writing that as “finish them” towards hamas. That doesn’t excuse anything. Just stating that they believe they are killing terrorists. They are just ignoring the innocent. Good intentions don’t justify this though let me make that very clear.

      Unbelievable that you can see all this carnage, deliberate use of non surgical engagement, calling Palestinians animals, calling leveling entire population centers “mowing the lawn”, and think they are fighting Hamas.

      They know exactly what they’re doing, they’ll tell you themselves even.

        They were just happy to have an opportunity to make it look as though they were.

        It would be of no surprise to me if Netanyahu orchestrated Hamas’ attack.

          At a minimum they certainly knew it was coming and reduced the number of IDF near the border and sent in their own helicopters to shoot civilians so they could pump the civilian numbers up and blame Hamas.

      I have no interest in downvoting you, but I would like to say that on priors, I would be surprised to learn that she saw “Hamas” and “Palestinians” as anything other than a distinction without a difference. She’s electively of a set with Lindsey “Nuke Gaza” Graham, and she’s voting for Trump apparently now, who has been very vocal about his support for the “kill them all” perspective.

      Do you have specific evidence that leads you to believe otherwise, or is it more of a charity in humanity thing?
