There is def throwing out meat for the rabid base. Feel like North Carolina is looking to hook up with TX and FL. University of North Carolina to divert $2.3m DEI budget to safety and policing "Some members of the board of trustees, which voted for the divestment, cited students’ recent anti-war demonstrations as a reason for the redesignation of funds to the campus police."
One of the greatest occurrences of blowback in self-interested American foreign policy that reverberates to this day. Iran could've been a beacon of democracy in the middle east but foreign meddling by US/UK ended that possibility. We overthrew a democratically elected leader and in his place installed a brutal, friendly-to-us dictator, the Shah. That led to the Islamic revolution which overthrew the Shah and here we are today. Few Americans know about this shameful part of US history. Obama I believe was the first President to publicly acknowledge the deed.
Exactly, US weapons are being used by these fanatics to indiscriminately kill women and children. The Israeli leadership basically thought the world and public opinion would just fall in line as the US and West has tended to, given them cover. The dehumanization of an entire people is something they've been getting away for decades. https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/campaigns/2017/06/israel-occupation-50-years-of-dispossession/
Yes, but they will not be the only ones affected. Mutations and transmissions are not so tidy.
India is def going to take a hit to their economy.
This will never age well. Begin precipitous political decline.
I get the feeling you cheerlead for big business and corporations over working people and unions.
Troll alert.
Pot calls out kettle.
Chicken versus the egg. How can they have any viable leadership when there is no right of self-determination? When there is an occupation? When land grabs via illegal settlement building has continued for decades and decades. Israel gets admonished at best but none that hasn't stopped the settlement building (filled by crazy right wing religious folks). When there's a boot on your neck at all times, how do you expect a people to flourish, to have a "viable leadership"? When right wing religious zealots who believe all of Israel is theirs run amok.
This argument seems to want to shift blame on the occupied, not the occupiers. Basically another form of dehumanization that has been trodded out when it becomes harder to look past the indiscriminate, disproportionate (common theme) killing of civilians.
Facebook and Instagram, two of the worst digital creations of all time in terms of sheer damage to human beings.

Did you think Trump could actually win back in 2016? I get what you're saying, but it's not me you have to worry about. It's the voters who put him in office back in 2016, and the ones who still might again. Democracy being on the line may not be the best way to win voters or energize a base. The youth already feel betrayed. And dems suck at messaging.
