Yeah I can agree with that. I hate Netanyahu. I don’t plan on defending him but Hamas raping and killing people would have exactly one type of reaction, and it’s the reaction they wanted. It wasn’t about protecting Gaza. They knew that their attack would destroy it. It was about Iran wanting to maximize chaos around the world. Not all Israeli people like Netanyahu. His approval ratings have never been lower. Of course, those that do approve of him would love to commit genocide upon the Palestinians, but those approval ratings are in single digits now.

The invasion of Gaza will be temporary, and it’s anything more, Israel will be doing it alone with no external support.

That’s not true. It was Arafat who refused peace terms in the late 90s. You’re looking at this like it’s black and white.

That’s not going to happen until is Hamas is destroyed. They fucked around knowing damn well how Israel would respond. Both have blood on their hands. All that Biden can do is urge them to not indiscriminately bomb areas with civilians. Hamas has been terrorizing Israel for decades. They’re not stopping until it’s over.

What would you have him do?

Well they’re Republicans. The closer they get to actually having to put their words into actions, they freak the fuck out because they know it’ll be nothing but a disaster. They’re probably slashing their own tires and blaming Antifa

China would rather have Trump because I doubt he would defend Taiwan. He just wants to end trade with China, while simultaneously praising Xi as brilliant. Biden also wouldn’t pose for a dumbass photo-op with Kim Jong-un. China very clearly has a favorite because they know Trump would maximize domestic turmoil

This is very much a millennial perspective. Looking at a demographic table, it’s overwhelmingly obvious that most Americans are boomers. And older people vote more often than younger people.

We may see Trump and Biden as weak candidates, but this is literally what they want. It is democracy in action. We just don’t outnumber the older Americans lol. It’s obviously changing. Otherwise Sanders wouldn’t have made it as far as he did in 2016 and 2020.

This is what Republicans would be allowing if they defunded the shit out of the FBI

It’s why Huawei is what it is. The company is built upon stolen tech

They already said that they thought it was a drone returning to base for a re-supply. They detected it but thought it wasn’t malicious. It’s a big fuck up

Dude I don’t think they expected that strike to land. I think they assumed it would have been intercepted

Is there no process to kick Hungary out?

When things start to turn he’ll blame the CIA

Pretty wild how we just gloss over the acts on October 7th and focus solely on Netanyahu’s scorched earth tactics for revenge.

The Internet Research Agency is so much more prevalent than we think. I’m pretty sure they’re operating communities on this site lmao

I would be cheering for the cartels in this scenario

China: “how can I blame this on the Americans?”

There’s a good reason for that. It’s a de facto sovereign nation and the lack of acknowledgement cools the temperature in Beijing. There would be wide bipartisan support for protecting Taiwan, as opposed to Ukraine because a significant portion of Republicans and tankies like Russia for two very, very different reasons

People have said that in the 1910s, late 1920s, late 1930s, late 1940s all the way up until the early 1990s, and then we started saying it for other reasons like climate change and AI. It’s always possible, but honestly not likely. The end of globalization will have some severe effects across the world like massive famine in countries that keep reproducing with no food security, but I don’t think we should constantly declare the sky is falling when we’ve proven just how resilient the world is in the wake of an all-out pandemic and supply chain crisis

At that point there would have to be a coup. I mean, it’s that or suicide
