Even after Israel treated Biden like shit for four years in response to unquestionable support...
Israel backed trump instead and Biden still is fighting his own party on this instead of spending his last few weeks with any power trying to mitigate Trump's incoming damage.
At this point I honestly don't understand how anyone can claim Biden was anything but a waste of four years that was so unproductive it let trump back into the White House.
I don't give two shits if these ultra conservative Dems are slightly better than a republican. I know I can hold my nose, been doing it for a long time.
But not enough other people will.
And yelling at them isn't effective.
So why don't we stop trying to shove neoliberalism down Dem voters throats, and just run a candidate Dem voters already want to vote for over trump without needing a billion dollar campaign funded by everyone causing problems for the American people
Iran, Russia, China and North Korea have formed an alliance. The US supports Israel as a means to an end: preventing Iran from growing in power in that region.
well if thats true, we've alienated our allies in that region so that plan was remarkably stupid. Or, it could just be that our representitives have been bribed and Israel doesnt care what US support for mass murder costs the US long term.
Or that the problem is Netanyahu and there is no easy way to end his genocide without letting Iran and thus Russia, China and North Korea get stronger.
Iran, Russia, China, and North Korea...
Where have I heard this before?
Yeah I'm pretty sure that's not a new one.
Not sure what you mean
They've been in an alliance since 1979. That's not going to change any time soon and Israel has nothing to do with it.
Israel and Iran have been firing missles at each other recently.
As North Korea, Iran and China support Russia’s war, is a ‘new axis’ emerging?
I can't help it if the news is playing dumb.
Russia is at war with Ukraine and North Korea and China are helping while Iran and Israel are exchanging missles. Iranian drones are being used by Russia in Ukraine.
Who’s playing dumb?
I'm not saying they aren't in an alliance. I'm saying it's not new and it has shit all to do with Israel. We have 18 other allies in the region to contain Iran, including countries that actually border it. We don't need Middle East Mussolini.
We don’t need Iran helping Russia invade Ukraine or China invade Taiwan either.
Okay? And what does that have to do with Israel?
Israel and Iran have been firing missles at each other recently.
It is harder for Iran to help Russia and China if Israel can keep them from growing in power in the region. At least that seems to be the opinion of US military intel.
Oh and Israel is the only possible country to do that are they? The 18 countries in the middle east that are closer allies can't possibly do it? We absolutely have to support genocide?
Who is better equipped for it that is already defending themselves from Iran?
You're right, we should be pouring money and material into Iraq. Instead of the country that's sustained a mild barrage because of the genocide it's currently conducting.
Russia also supports the fascist apartheid regime and, if anything, the genocide emboldens everyone who's already opposed to zionist colonialism.
There's no upside to the people of the US or the rest of the west, only the politicians being bribed and blackmailed by AIPAC and similar de facto foreign government agencies.
TONS of downside, though, not least of which that what they're doing is more morally repulsive and indefensible than even the atrocities that we rightfully despise the Putin regime for doing.
More blood for the blood god. We only need to kill a few million middle easterners every decade or so to keep our influence in the region, why do they hate us so much??
