Weapons used in earlier Israeli strikes into Lebanon that have killed civilians have been found to be U.S.-made.

        Putin is a cunt and Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine must be stopped.

        If I was on Russia’s payroll that should be enough to get me arrested or at least fired.

        So either I’m risking my safety OOOOORRRR not everyone opposed to Biden’s support for Israel is a Russian bot. Golly gosh I wonder which one it is

          You don’t need to be on Russia’s payroll to spew pro-Putin talking points. Plenty of American oligarchs will foot the bill.

          Its so crazy to be listening to a podcast interview with Daniel Santiago while reading this.

            You know, if criticizing killing is a “pro-Putin talking point,” then pro Putin talking points clearly aren’t always bad? Should I be in favour of murder to really show how much I hate Putin? Literally what the fuck are you talking about

            I agree with Putin that the sky is blue too. I’m expecting my rubles in the mail any day now.

              If they are Pro-Putin, they must be bad. Or possibly an evil trick, trying to fool me into thinking Russians aren’t a D&D monster race that is ontological evil.

              Should I be in favour of murder to really show how much I hate Putin?

              I mean, the real irony of all this is in how politically tight Putin and Netanyahu have been over the last twenty years. What’s more, the over 80k Russian Jews migrating to Israel since the start of Russia-Ukraine hostilities have been at the forefront of the Israeli settler movement over the same period of time.

              So… you could kinda sorta see a line between these two countries and their respective wars on their neighbors.

              But that kind of analysis sends pro-Israel / anti-Russia journalists into a confused and angry spiral. So we go out of our way to avoid conflating these conflicts at every opportunity.

              I agree with Putin that the sky is blue too. I’m expecting my rubles in the mail any day now.

    Cut your nose to spite your face then. You’ll keep paying for genocide even if you won’t “vote for it.”

    The things you can do are support groups and politicians that will push the country in the direction you want it to move. Really think about what action (or inaction) does for the things that matter to you. You have an opportunity to do something to help reduce overall suffering and make the country and world a slightly better place.

      Keep fat loser hitler out of office, squelch the attempted insurrection from his loser brigade, and bust the absolute balls out of the saner party to get ranked choice voting implemented so we can have more substantial changes.

      So voting the greens is good because they’re moving the country in the direction of non-genocide? I’m European myself, but I don’t see how anyone could vote for the party whose candidate, during an ongoing genocide, says that “defends the right of Israel to defend itself” and claims that the US should have “the most lethal” fighting force in the world. Not most efficient, not most effective, not best funded: most LETHAL.

        I think it’s simple election maths within their system. Since they have only the two big ones and they don’t make coalitions, you’ll just screw yourself over since by voting for the best option instead of lesser evil of the two, you’ll get the more evil as result.

      Late October, Netanyahu will do whatever he can to help Trump win.

      Let’s not forget that they bailed on ceasefire talks a few weeks ago because former president, and private citizen, Donald Trump violated the Logan Act by calling Netanyahu and telling him not to accept the ceasefire.

      We didn’t call WW1 a world war until america joined 3 years into the European war. The second world war wasn’t called that until after the war had formally ended. Who knows.
