It's incredible how badly the US has been dog-walked by both its 'ally' as well as Iran.

"America First" brought to you by "The Peace President"[1].

im really not convinced israel is an ally, vs a nuclear threat that has had the US by the balls for decades.

who else has attacked the US navy with the US staying hush hush about it?

  • If you frame it as an entity that launders the military industrial complex's desires to test weapons, keep congress beholden, and keep conflicts going forever – then work backwards from there, the allowance of their subversion makes perfect sense, as well as the over the top allegiance of those congresscritters it buys.

    Dunno if that is how it works but I have never been able to square the capitulation in our government without that tie. This is also considering the influence of christian z's.

There is only so much you can do when you've been purchased by mossad.

  • Mossad does far more than just bribes.

      it is if you think the reason is something that's not benign, or if you are keeping track of it and spreading it hoping to foment anger.

      A hugely disproportionate number of Nobel Prizes have been won by Jews (22% vs 0.2% of total population) and that's with 6 million killed in the holocaust. By Occam's razor, that's a lot of really smart people, and I prefer having smart leaders.

      Do you think the President of Mexico and Ukraine are Jewish because Mossad?

      Let me guess, you think all the above is because they cheated?

You’d think he could have done better, what with all that foreign policy experience from his years on The Apprentice.

Look what Rütte did. Everybody knows how to play Trump. The whole world now plays "do whatever you want, just take care to make Trump thinking he looks good while doing it, or at least afterwards".

The US isn't an actor anymore on the global stage. It's the playball.

  • Their PR machine is amazing in how it's conflated criticism of the Israeli government with anti-Semitism, in a country where religion and state are supposed to be separate (not that we're very good at that, mind you). And they've convinced the world that the Holocaust somehow allows them to perpetrate the same crimes against humanity with impunity.

    It's incredibly frustration because the only "reasonable" opinion allowed is full-throated support of Israel or else. There's no allowance for nuance.

    • Extreme hatred of Israel can be called antizionism or Israel Derangement Syndrome and aligns well with anti-Western and anti-American views. See how many comments insult both America and Israel here. Antizionism is the intense hatred and focus of one tiny middle Eastern country. It is not normal but it has been normalised. Antizionism is a hate movement.

      It's incredibly frustrating because the only "reasonable" opinion we're allowed is full-throated denial of Israel's right to exist and the end of anything Jewish associated with it. There's no allowance for nuance.
