You think the US military was out there distributing flowers before Trump came along? They’re all scum.
had diplomatically tried to prevent.
Saudi Arabia: Yeah right…
Yes but that’s not really what I’m saying. My point is that Starmer has been very clear (in his slimy lizard way) that the UK would be helping America.
Yeha that’s why “defensive” is in quotes, but the idea is that America is only allowed to use UK bases to bomb Iran’s offensive capabilities.
It’s gotten worse over time, but none of this is new in principle. Jingoistic propaganda, institutional racism, religious exceptionalism, brazen lies and open hatred have been core parts of Israeli ideology and strategy since before Israel existed.
And past US administrations. Something something black sites.
Didn’t he literally say he’d allow their use for “defensive” strikes? He’s never really been hiding it.
Democrats need to HAMMER this home: Trump’s war costs EXACTLY this much at the pump, every day. There needs to be a ticker on every news broadcast showing live gas prices around the nation.
Except then they’d have to actually oppose the war, and they won’t do that because their donors support imperialism.
Costa stressed the need for the EU to protect the international rules-based order, which he said was now being challenged by the United States, and for all parties in the Middle East to return to the negotiating table.
“We must avoid further escalation. Such a path threatens the Middle East, Europe, and beyond.”
I mean his heart is within a 10-mile radius of the right place, but the fuck is this guy going to protect when he can’t even condemn the illegal war of regime change that started this whole mess? Like at least pretend to have spine if you’re going to act like the protector of international law.
Trust me, if scientists were running the world we’d have stopped the use of oil.
Well nuclear weapons or being a Western lapdog, but yeah pretty much.
Kinda but the US (and therefore Europe by distant, unreliable proxy) controls the Arab side of the Gulf, so while it was playing with fire there was little reason to worry about it unless someone did something extremely stupid (like, I dunno, start a war with Iran). But then again Europe never had any real say over US foreign policy/warmongering, so I guess they’re the worst of both worlds in that sense.
Gulf oil has basically been the sword of Damocles hanging over their neck for decades; of course they’ve got plans for when it’s cut off.
There’s no malice you should put past any US administration. Weddings aren’t any more okay to bomb than schools.
No, this is what happens when (neo)colonial empires bomb people. Past administrations just happened to prefer weddings instead.
Israeli Jews are probably the most consistently evil population on the planet (I’m willing to accept counterexamples).
Then why don’t they attack already? Given their posturing and the overall situation I highly doubt they’re expecting cooler heads to prevail.
The fuck you want me to debate? There’s no room for debating the morality of US foreign policy (which is 99% evil), which should be clear to anyone not willfully ignorant. Therefore, there’s only one non-scum course of action to take, and that is to get the hell out. Their ongoing cooperation with the US war machine makes them scum.
I never dehumanized US soldiers; I simply called them scum, for the same reason most people would agree WWII Wehrmacht soldiers were scum.
Do I need to have met Hitler to hate him? What about Netanyahu? Maybe Putin is actually a good person under all the death and destruction?
