Wow I can't believe Trump is doing this before he's even president

[-] BashfulBob@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago

If you'd just voted for Kamala Harris, Biden wouldn't be doing this.

[-] urmums401k@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

Yeah we really fucked up not backing Harris.

[-] Parsani@hexbear.net 84 points 1 month ago

I hate them all so much. The Biden admin is irredeemable. Cruelty is the point, and white supremacy is alive and well.

[-] urmums401k@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago

You dont understand; by not backing Harris, we voted for this, this is our fault!

[-] Parsani@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

Biden is just doing what ~~the unions~~ Trump wanted

How did we get an emoji of this moment so fast?

[-] kleeon@hexbear.net 55 points 1 month ago
[-] Parsani@hexbear.net 29 points 1 month ago

All three of these are the same photo

[-] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

Thanks for explaining where this emoji came from

biden-point Bidenomics in action. You're all welcome Jack jokermala

[-] darkcalling@hexbear.net 53 points 1 month ago

Seymour Hersh is now reporting that the zionist occupation plans to annex the west bank in the next couple of weeks so that it's a fact on the ground by the time Trump gets into office.

Words cannot begin to express the anger and rage I feel.

[-] bbnh69420@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

God I hope he’s so fucking wrong

[-] urmums401k@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

He's not. They've been preparing to do this for a while.

[-] bbnh69420@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

They’ve been prepping since 67 to make it offish, 2 weeks or before trumps term just feels so fast

can you copy paste the article? Its behind a paywall

[-] SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net 51 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

For the US, the only ceasefire is one in which every Palestinian is slaughtered and they are definitely working tirelessly for that

[-] Seasonal_Peace@hexbear.net 46 points 1 month ago
[-] urmums401k@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

Hey. No. The numbers don't work out on that, and the ecological damage would get ridiculous.

[-] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 43 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I made the mistake of looking for articles on this on reddit-logo

Do NOT do that

How can these dipshits be like 'hOw dId OuR bEtTeR hUmAn LoSe' while they're out here saying shit in support of this that'd make Hitler blush

[-] Ixoid@lemm.ee 42 points 1 month ago

America is a shithole country.

[-] urmums401k@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

Oh youre so gonna get sued for libel by the shit hole lobby.

[-] lemmyseizethemeans@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 month ago

Listen fat if you don't vote blue no matter who you ain't black

[-] propter_hog@hexbear.net 35 points 1 month ago

So why does the US have a veto vote anyway? Seems like no one should

[-] principalkohoutek@hexbear.net 34 points 1 month ago

Cuz they were on the winning side of WW2. Security council veto power is held by China, US, UK, France, and Russia

[-] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago
[-] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

If the veto power is going to exist we should be honest about what it means and it should be “every country with nukes”

The DPRK should be a permanent member of the security council

[-] bbnh69420@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago
[-] Justice@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 1 month ago

Should be noted, for clarity, that this was intended to be 4/5 pro-US vs the 5th (USSR- then an ally, soon to not be obviously)

Then Mao beat Chiang Kai-shek and drove his loser ass from the country (to Taiwan)

Kai-shek was being groomed and setup to be America's puppet leader of China. Unfortunately for him and the US, the people's liberation army had other plans...

So the vote that was reserved for China now belonged to a fresh communist nation. How did America/the west want to "fix" this? "Create a new definition of China" effectively. This is why Taiwan was officially recognized as China for so long (1979! like 3 decades after communist victory). Like Taiwan was the "real China" and mainland China was illegally occupied by... other Chinese people.

The UN formally recognized the People's Republic of China as "real China" in 1971...

[-] MayoPete@hexbear.net 26 points 1 month ago

Right? There should be a veto override mechanism so you can't block things literally EVERY OTHER COUNTRY wants with your one vote.

Abolish the UN

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 25 points 1 month ago

Originally the veto was for USSR blocking imperialist movement from the US and their stooges of UK, France and RoC. Without it UN would be just yet another arm of US apparatus.

[-] propter_hog@hexbear.net 26 points 1 month ago

The UN is yet another arm of US apparatus, though

[-] BashfulBob@hexbear.net 20 points 1 month ago

So why does the US have a veto vote anyway?

Perks of being a Founding Member (with Nukes). The veto is intended to illustrate the Superpower status of the nation and the implicit necessity of their consent before your UN Peacekeepers collide with US War Profiteers.

[-] CrawlMarks@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago

If we didn't have the veto we would simply hire nazis to make a new nato for ourselves and give us veto power. Which... I think is exactly what happened in the first place if I think about the league of nations.

Breaking: Holy Roman Empire appoints Anti-Pope

[-] Ericthescruffy@hexbear.net 34 points 1 month ago

This is the image I will remember whenever the words "rules based international order" are uttered.

[-] Rom@hexbear.net 33 points 1 month ago

Death to America, death to Israel

[-] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 31 points 1 month ago

And I'm supposed to believe Trump is some kind of uniquely evil threat to democracy? I really hope it doesn't happen but he's going to have to commit some seriously heinous atrocities just to catch up with 3½ years of Biden. This and firing long range missiles into Russia are death throes. Somebody please take decision making powers away from the Dems.

[-] CupcakeOfSpice@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago

Trump is certainly gearing up to do some atrocities of his own, for sure. More like take decision-making powers away from Americans.

[-] lemmyseizethemeans@lemmygrad.ml 31 points 1 month ago

Rogue state. Criminals and murderers. History will not look kindly on the last stage of the American empire

[-] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 29 points 1 month ago

the us doesnt want the hostages released

[-] lemmyseizethemeans@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 1 month ago

Neither does Israel. Hannibal doctrine says as much

[-] Piment@hexbear.net 23 points 1 month ago

Tbf the UK would have used veto power too if they didn't only need one veto to stop it and are esentially pretending like they support a ceasefire to avoid bad PR, probably the same thing for a least a few of the other countries on the council like France and Japan, although I'm 100% confident the UK is faking it and less so for the other countries

amerikkka ukkk

[-] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

Yep, definitely. That said, I do actually think Britain and France (and their citizens) have more compassion than the US.

[-] CommCat@hexbear.net 21 points 1 month ago

absolutely the Evil Empire

[-] BashfulBob@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago

America needs to UNxit already.

[-] dkr567@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Shithole country honestly needs to be quarantined from rest of the world considering how much of a threat they are to the entire world.
