Biden says he won’t support a lot of shit that Netanyahu does. Then Biden goes on to support the same shit he said he wouldn’t support, without condition or hesitation.
Biden’s refusal to do anything, out of this constant fear of “escalation,” is both damaging our standing with our allies, and is emboldening our enemies by sending the message that the US is asleep at the wheel.
our allies … our enemies
Whose allies? Whose enemies?
No thanks on the “nationalist we”. I don’t care who the state labels as buddy or bad guy. Nationalism is toxic AF.
no it’s not.
anyone with eyes can see this is the price paid to have a militarily significant position against the real enemy, Russia.
sure, there is much gnashing of teeth and shouting of change but it’s all political theater.
I don’t feel that’s obvious, can you elaborate on your views?

The only way we got Ukrainian aid was by passing Israeli aid.
I don’t like it either, but it’s a price I’m willing to pay to stop Russia and China from expanding their despotism.
I know you disagree and would rather sell Ukraine down the river for Gaza, and good for you, but if Ukraine fell in 2012 domestic pressure on Xi to take Taiwan would be unstoppable, and this is exactly how WW2 started, momentum, we need to make invasion too expensive to contemplate.

Yes, that’s the problem. Why not fund the defense of ukraine and palestine?

You’re willing to collaborate with genocidal fascists? Gross.

Fascism won’t stop fascism. This isn’t a baseball game. Grow up.
You’re willing to collaborate with genocidal fascists? Gross.
There’s something wrong with you, I don’t know if it’s ignorance or what.
We sided with Stalin against Hitler.
Fascism did stop fascism, very well in fact, it’s one of the few things that does because only fascists are willing to spend lives like they are.
I don’t think it matters what he supports at this point
Biden hasn’t done shit to reign in Israel or show any indication of stopping support for a genocide, why would it matter what he says here when it’s not under his control.
Uh, bombing one of Iran’s nuclear sites seems like a great way to find out if they’ve actually figured out nukes or not.
Please don’t. Please. Fucking. Don’t.
…which of course means they will.
nuclear warheads have an arming process that makes them active.
after all, you wouldn’t want armed nuclear warheads sitting inside your country would you?
You’re assuming Iran doesn’t sling one at Israel intentionally in retaliation for targeting their nuclear program.
Iran would never do that because they are literally in the fallout zone. if they did it would be their last resort, and even then it would be an act of MAD.
