Who, the chief diplomat of the US? You expect him to negotiate? That’s crazy.

Well that’s terrifying. I’m starting to think you can’t have a real democracy without strong recall abilities on politicians. The fact that these people are untouchable in office no matter what we find on them is insane.
As long as the US backs them up they feel invincible. I’m sure the nukes help, too. They’re like Russia.
Never read it because I assumed it was just a funny story about guys on drugs with his characteristic cool writing style, but if it had actual things to say about America, maybe I’ll read it sometime. Or watch the movie lol.
Lol I could say the same thing. Stop blaming foreign actors that you’ve made up and start pushing Biden to be better. Maybe he’ll change by the election, I bet he would with enough pressure, and you could have him beat Trump without having to contort yourself into supporting a genocide while still somehow thinking you’re morally superior.
Ya that’s the only reason people wouldn’t like Biden’s full throated support for a conservative apartheid ethnostate murder of tens of thousands of civilians, women and children, included, and even American aide workers.
It’s like the Democrat version of the conspiracy theory that Biden stole the election. It requires a very active refusal to see the other side nor even believe they exist.
What a convenient excuse to support a genocide.
I’m not a fan of her, but this was a smart move to keep her son out of this political media circus if she cares about him. I doubt Donald Trump gives a shit about him, he just wants more of his family in power because he runs politics like the mob.
It seems like his stroke really changed him, like personality wise. It’s just a shot in the dark, but I wonder if it really did. I really liked him before.
Does China not have a group for women like Cuba does? It might be a good idea for every patriarchal communist society to have some sort of women focused mass organization, too. And probably an LGBTQ one, too.
I could see them doing something crazy either near the Philippines coastal waters or to invade Taiwan and then the US defending one of those two countries.
Actually, the Japanese were already trying to find a way to surrender at the time. The Soviet Union invading would’ve been the last straw, the US was trying to get in a bomb first because they didn’t want the Soviet Union to have a victory. And to them, that was worth hundreds of thousands of lives.
The US was the only country to vote against the draft text while the United Kingdom abstained. The UN Security Council’s 13 other member countries voted in favour of the text demanding a halt to the war that has killed more than 29,000 people in Gaza, according to Palestinian authorities, and displaced more than 80 percent of the population
It’s stuff like this that makes me realize we’re the evil empire from Star Wars. The Security Council needs a reworking away from vetos.
Maybe Trumo shouldn’t have broken off on that nuclear deal if they didn’t want Iran to have nukes.
Israel has never seriously offered 2 state solution. They’ve dangled terrible deals that no one would take, even them in the Palestinian position, or they’ve withdrawn at the first sign or excuse, whether it was related to ongoing deals or not. The only time they got close, their leader was assassinated by a a radical Zionist. They still haven’t followed the conditions of deals they have agreed to, like retreating to pre-1967 borders in the first UN accords, they continue to expand settlements and don’t grant autonomy like they said they would in the 1978 Camp David Accords or the Oslo Accords. Every time Israel tries to push off actually dealing with a Palestinian state, water rights, Palestinians being able to return to homes they were kicked out of, or expanding settlements for another 5 years. Even a US negotiator and Jimmy Carter during the Camp David negotiations said they wouldn’t have taken the deal Israel offered to the Palestinians.
Basically, Israel and the US always finds the line for Palestinians and tries to make a deal beyond that line, or pushes off the biggest issues of a sovereign state into the future. When Palestinians try to go back to an earlier deal, Israel and the US creates new terms that are beyond the line again. It shows a lack of good faith in actually wanting to make a deal. They dangle peace but don’t actually want it. What they want is all the land, no native Palestinians to deal with, and they want the international community to get off their back.
And no, I’d be very unhappy if a homeless man killed my family. But even I would realize that it’s way more likely to be a homeless man or gang member or someone like that who killed my whole family than a well rested, sheltered, mentally stable citizen. That wouldn’t mean I’d want to kill all homeless people, though. From an emotional standpoint, maybe I’d want to initially, but it’s the job of others to know that it wouldn’t help, that it would be better to solve the underlying conditions of homelessness. I’m not defending it, I’m explaining why it happens so we can stop it from keep happening.
After all, there would just be more homeless people made after I killed them all, because it’s a systemic issue. Same thing with Hamas. Killing them all isn’t a solution, it’s solving the underlying system of oppression that produces them. It’s the job of people with calmer minds or who went through this shit before or who study history, like us Americans who made similar mistakes after 9/11 or studied what happened to the Native Americans, to put a stop to it and implement actual solutions even if they’re not as satisfying as violence, to save others from the same fate in the future.
Terrorist attacks are the only weapon they have. No one gives a shit about them so the angriest ones lash out. It’s not great, but it happens in bad places, especially occupied, colonized, or very poor ones. Otherwise you get the West Bank where they just slowly let themselves get killed off and lose their land and still no one does anything about it.
Well they’re hoping to scare the rest away, essentially what the US did to the Native Americans. If they do a Trail of Tears, it’s still ethnic cleansing, but it’s easier to spin. Even though, I want to emphasize, it’s still ethnic cleansing to cleanse Palestine of all the Palestinians.
Israel was never in a million years going to let Palestine have a state. They’ve made that clear for a long time.
I thought they’d wait longer before doing this. Don’t they want to tease the West a bit longer? See if they can get more weapons and stuff? Or are they calling their bluff, knowing they’ll give them stuff no matter what they say at this point?
I’m guessing we won’t be as concerned about that as Russia and Chinese meddling got some reason…
