    God I don’t even know what side I’m on anymore. Why did we shoot them down? Maybe we would have done better to keep out of it…

    Israel assasinated an Iranian and Israel is not working with our government to try and stop the Gaza shit.

      Ukrainians: “Fucking seriously?”

      Bizarre that the US is immediately involved militarily to defend an occupying state currently and historically prone to atrocities against civilians. They seem so reticent to help an occupied state exercising great restraint in conforming to the rules of war, despite being victims of aggression and atrocity.

      Perhaps Ukraine needs to make a totally reasonable argument like, “all Russian children grow into Russian soldiers.” They could start bombing schools and hospitals, the Americans seem to admire that. Could lead to them helping to intercept Russian missiles and drones.

      Obviously I’m not going to advocate for any needless killing of civilians on any side. Imagine being a historian trying to figure out what the moral compass of our governments were though, it’s pretty much spinning at this point.

    This is a consequence of Biden not being firmer with Israel at a much earlier time, and a direct consequence of the apologetics being used to support Biden here and elsewhere. If Biden didn’t have the flexibility to be this weak with his position on Israel, we wouldn’t be in this situation.

    If we end up in world war, the apologetic supporters of a mealy mouthed Democrats are to blame. You can be against fascists like Trump and still bring your criticism to Democrats in such a way as to force them to be better.
