Israeli Jews are probably the most consistently evil population on the planet (I’m willing to accept counterexamples).

Carney is now making damn sure that Canada’s next PM is going to be Trump lite, so it is going to be a lot worse.

Generally an appropriate reaction, but this particular brand of clownhood isn’t at all new.

Then why don’t they attack already? Given their posturing and the overall situation I highly doubt they’re expecting cooler heads to prevail.

US allies (including Europe, but relevantly to this comm Canada) for pretending they care about international law yet going along with every instance of blatantly illegal and amoral US imperialism. Most recently, Carney is backing US strikes against Iran “with regret.”

They basically already are. They’re not attacking because they can’t, not out of measured caution.

I understand he’s desperate but I’d lose a lot of respect for Zelensky if he went ahead with this. He of all people should know what it’s like when murderous imperialists try to force regime change on you.

Saying he supports the war but he’s kinda sad about it definitely counts.

Yes and I wonder whose fucking fault that is. Hint: It’s not only America.

Really, their incompetence is the silver lining in all this.

People follow the religion of their kings.

Unfortunately this is closer to the norm than to being an exception.

Gee, I wonder if there’s some way they could’ve survived without needing to shoot down full drone barrages then. I wonder what that could be.

That strategy failed miserably against the Houthis.

Yeah that’s true; I’m intentionally taking the bait because I make it a point to call out bullshit.

To be honest I didn’t know that (WTF Trump), but the conversation is clearly about events after the full-scale invasion. The person I replied to implied Trump completely cut off aid to Ukraine after his reelection.

And how many of those are unfulfilled and/or watered down Biden promises? Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. She did nothing to make people believe she was actually going to do these things; promising to put Republicans in her cabinet certainly didn’t. Campaigning on fracking certainly didn’t. Dickriding Israel certainly didn’t.

But there’s a huge difference between the progress of the 70’s, and the insane armament and undermining of workers unions, the poor and even democracy that Reagan began in the 80’s.

Sure, except none of this is relevant to the topic. It’s hard to argue that things weren’t somewhat (and only somewhat) better in the 70s, but… so what? The pendulum was always going to swing in the other direction, and it did before the US did anything even close to redeeming itself. What’s your point here?

Harris was also very progressive on policy

Fucking delusional.

I mean, no need to lie; Iran is absolutely going to shoot at any US navy ships in their backyard.

You know BDS (if not look it up)? Do the opposite of that with Spanish companies.
