I keep telling people that if Kamala wasn't smart enough to speak out against the Israeli genocide in order to get elected, then she clearly wouldn't have been smart enough to tell Israel not to start a war with Iran.

Mossad would have less blackmail tho

[-] marxisthayaca@hexbear.net 33 points 4 days ago

counterpoint, Kamala would have done it for the love of the game.

[-] fox@hexbear.net 30 points 4 days ago

Sure but she's a dyed in the wool Bloodfeast strain politician and would drool over the chance to kill brown people. She'd just do it by egging on regional rivals rather than starting shit directly.

[-] brunox@feddit.cl 4 points 3 days ago

She probably wouldn't have antagonized Europe to the point of Europe seeing US as an unreliable ally. Maybe they would've tagged along too.

Biden blew up Nordstream

[-] BoxedFenders@hexbear.net 73 points 4 days ago

But you see, the messaging would have been palatable to libs, unlike the vulgar outbursts of Orange Man.

right, brunch would be far more palatable with less geopolitics being discussed!

"We regret this horrible tragedy, and feel for the children suffering as a result, but we had no choice and the blame falls squarely on Iran for continuing to pose a danger to US citizens"

contextphobic You atrocitophobes thought the "strongest, most lethal fighting force" would fall back upward into the coconut tree?

[-] deforestgump@hexbear.net 38 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Yeah but this would have never happened under Kamala!

( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

With Kamala we would be at brunch now (the troops would be getting nice brunch instead of rationed out rotten food)

[-] AnarchoAnarchist@hexbear.net 26 points 4 days ago

According to this liberal, we all have blood on our hands because we refused to climb over a pile of dead and dying Palestinians to vote for his unrequited political crush.

If YouTube comments weren't pure, distilled cancer, I would reply to the beardo and ask him why I should expect Kamala to be any different if Biden was gonna do the same exact shit.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

[-] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 29 points 4 days ago

Yeah no shit

[-] purpleworm@hexbear.net 32 points 4 days ago

I think he's saying that the admin would have done the 12 day war but not the current invasion (not that we need to believe him, of course).

[-] whiskers165@hexbear.net 17 points 4 days ago

Same shit when during the Bush years libs would say they support the Afghanistan invasion but that Iraq was illegal and based on lies

[-] whiskers165@hexbear.net 17 points 4 days ago

Al Gore would have invaded Iraq.

[-] TheModerateTankie@hexbear.net 15 points 4 days ago

He would have done it in a smart way! the-democrat

[-] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 7 points 4 days ago

Yeah but it'd be easier for middle class white women to get abortions so please be silent about Mammon's tithe.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: 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 the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
