Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
I would be super curious to know the senior US politicians like if they could speak without pressure on them and zero chance of reprisal... what the fuck are they doing here? This is the most obviously unsustainable suicide pact perhaps ever in history. At this point it would almost be more sane for the US to just unilaterally invade and take over Israel and rule it officially, and allow the Palestinians a state as well. Obviously that's insane but the days of Israel doing whatever it wants are ending or Israel will end... this seems so painfully obvious to everyone except those in power who are deluded or scared or whatever into thinking that every decision like this, acting as if it's 1992 forever, further pushes the rest of the world into solidarity against the US. Seems "kinda bad" from a "keeping the US in a strong position into the future" standpoint. They're so incompetent they can't even do imperialism correctly
No seriously at this point supporting Israel is dumb even on a realpolitik level. We’ve handcuffed ourselves to this lunatic that can’t stop picking fights with anyone and everyone and has nukes. I thought Biden was a Catholic but the only way what he’s doing makes sense is if he’s an Evangelical Christian Zionist and is genuinely trying to bring about the end times.
I mean this doesn't sound half bad. Hard to be worse than what is currently happening.
Edit: We are to the point of encouraging U.S. imperialism to get rid of Israel, it's that bad lmao
I mean that's my point. Invading a nuclear state is batshit insane... and yet just letting them attack and threaten Iran, etc. is worse. At least invading would be a bandaid rip for the most part and the US if anyone could probably do it in a way that completely neutralizes the nukes before they're launched or whatever. Then the situation would be controllable directly and things could be settled, but currently we have a country of insane people doing whatever the fuck they want, including nuclear threats and such, and absolutely fuck all is being done to even slightly make them slow down or just plain stop. Just actual death cult shit happening when it absolutely doesn't need to be happening.
Hey, the Soviets collapsed without any nukes going off. Maybe we can get lucky twice
Soviets weren’t fascists with a deathwish like the Zionists
I think it's just purely profit-motive without any form of long term strategy. Israel and Ukraine both justify printing money to give to arms manufacturers. Ukraine sold off its public infrastructure to American private investors, and Israel is already making plans to redevelop the Gaza Strip, presumably financed by American real estate companies. If Biden is still in office when Israel runs out of speculative assets to sell off, I assume his admin will find some other ally to prop up while gutting.
