Not that this is any surprise to anyone paying attention, but it's nice to see it admitted by the US that it's serving Israel

The really big question is: WHY did America launch a war at Israel’s request.

[-] MBech@feddit.dk 33 points 1 month ago

Maybe they said "Thank you"?

[-] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 24 points 1 month ago

Or maybe they said "We've got video of you (Trump) murdering children".

You know, BLACKMAIL. That can be very persuasive when you are in a position of power.

[-] parson0@startrek.website 10 points 1 month ago

It doesn't seem to matter what he does to children

[-] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 month ago

Yea, that's the weird part. It's like the voting machines don't care.

The paper ballots care and the mail in ballots care but the electronic tally machines are just "different".

Unfortunately I think it's just much stupider. USA is run by Christian nationalists, regardless of what the founding fathers wanted. Christians need Isreal to exist for their beloved prophesy of the end times to come about.

A big part of it but only an idiots would think the usa would not want to control the most important region of the word to control trade routes and ressources agqinst any opponent of imperialism

[-] OwOarchist@pawb.social 21 points 1 month ago

So, how many weeks until they officially admit that Israel's dossiers of Epstein blackmail are the reason they do Israel's bidding?

The USA/Israel never will, but it'd be pretty amazing if Iran got ahold of the materials and did.

Edit: Then again, we'd probably just have Iran blackmailing them as well then.

Interesting interpretation of America First

[-] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 1 points 1 month ago

America first*

Nobody forced the usa to back up israel for decades. Stop whitewashing the usa. Fuck both the usa and israel

“At this point, what are you gonna do about it?”

[-] MattEagle@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

This is just political theatre. The offensive against Iran progressed a variety of decades-long US objectives.

[-] greyscale@lemmy.grey.ooo 9 points 1 month ago

Decades long objectives like destroying their own economy?

Man, I don't know how cooked you are but holy shit, can you not see that the US doesn't have that much long left before it will implode? Currently all of the three letter agencies are understaffed with competence and overstaffed with little nazi groyper freaks.

You need to completely gut your institutions and replace -everyone- and that isn't gonna happen.

Shits a failed state running on inertia.

I keep thinking that this wouldn't have happened if Trump wasn't president, but more and more, I'm not so sure anymore. Anyone have thoughts on that they want to share?

[-] dessalines@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 month ago

Biden was already not just continuing the US policy of bombing the middle east, but escalating it drastically:

The US is a one party state of capital, and imperialism is its unchanging foreign policy.

[-] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 month ago

It definitely would've happened. I am tired of repeating the same but ask yourself, who was the target of the message by Kamala "I'll make sure the US military is the most lethal force on earth."

[-] stink@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 month ago

She meant they'd be slaying 💅💅. Don't twist her words!!

[-] mrdown@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The usa and israel did the biggest join military exercice to practice for a war against Iran during Biden

https://www.jstribune.com/lerman-the-largest-ever-us-israel-military-exercise/

Even if the USA was not going to attack if it was not Trump. Israel would attack by themselves and get afditional billions of dollars to do it

[-] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 month ago

I find this so irrelevant, what does it matter? It's still a terrorist war in par with other american wars.
