Plenty of Trump’s former cabinet and generals he worked with spoke out against him.

People are just ignorant and vote against their own self interests.

Didn’t say it justified shit. You asked what is Nazi stuff, I answered.

If that isn’t some Nazi shit, what is?

What Israel is doing in Gaza.

PDF warning but anyone wanting to peep the law - it’s here.

There’s actually very explicit language that Congress wrote into the law basically ensuring the president, or the executive at large, has to support Israel militarily.

So there isn’t really an easy way for a president to unilaterally untangle us from our military alliance with Israel even if they want to. It will take a literal act of Congress to change the course of the State Dept when it comes to Israel as a lot of what is wrong is prescribed by law as necessary.

Bro, come on. You know which ones, the ones the other poster replied to you with showing Jon Oliver saying the opposite of what you said.

Yes we’re watching/reading the same things. Except I don’t think you actually are or, like I said, if you are you’ve been really let down by your teachers.

I really appreciate that outlook and point of view. Of course, eventually you’ll run across folks like this guy who even given the door won’t walk through it but it’s commendable to be open minded and kind.

I try to do the same but sometimes it’s an obvious troll and you’re writing a comment for whoever is reading the comments vs the person you’re replying to.

Keep up that positivity and empathy, we all could use some more of that!

Lol … okay buddy. Either your reading and viewing comprehension is horrendous, which if that’s the case sorry you were failed by whatever education you had OR (much more likely) you’re simply advancing this “argument” in bad faith.

It’s readily apparent how far off the mark you are.

You are actually way off here and somehow reading something way more out of this in a way I don’t understand as an outside observer.

That’s because you’re arguing from a standpoint of reality and engaging with a person acting in bad faith. They know they’re wrong, shit they started off with wholesale lies the opposite of what we can see with our own eyes.

Wow, you really coming in here saying the literal opposite of reality and expect us to buy your bullshit?

Obviously the other comments have given sources showing how wrong you are, just fuck right off with the lies.

Cool so I assume you’re voting for Harris then? She obviously is the candidate who would cause less harm to the people of Gaza and Palestinians in general.

So it’d be pretty dumb to say something like that and then not try to do what you can as an individual to help (by voting for Harris).

I think it’s more along the lines of you’re being disingenuous with the lens you’re applying. Sure, the current admin, and future Harris if elected, can certainly be criticized on foreign policy around Israel and Gaza. The flip side is the context that Trump would be so much worse and doing the same shit except even worse. Harris openly discusses a two state solution.

The point is, the two presidential candidates do differ and you’re implying they don’t. Regardless of your political bent, I’m pretty far on the left side, you have to admit in reality we have a two party system and one is better for the future of the people of Gaza.

Hence, we should all vote accordingly. I think mostly it’s that you’re implying we shouldn’t vote Harris when the alternative is worse.

No … I think they mean obviously the bourgeoisie 1% making all the real money while the rest of us fight over the scraps.

You’re being weird calling this Nazi shit. It just isn’t.

they should have [thing that already exists]

Nobody reads the article though…

I’m educated enough to know you’re either deep in a hole of disinformation / misinformation or on Russia’s side. We learned that appeasement doesn’t work with Nazi Germany and other examples, Russia being the latest.

If you know of the history and issues of Russia and Ukraine then you’d know they’re intrinsically linked to the USA and “Western” interests going pretty far back. Plus lots of trade flows through Ukraine and they export a ton of food - it’s important to lots of innocent people who are also impacted by the war even if it’s not by blood loss. The costs in lives is too high but also the costs in material, in trust, in future cooperation between nations has been eroded by Putin’s actions.

I can believe that because I think Putin doesn’t necessarily want to start WW3. But he has indicated that it wouldn’t have stopped him as well

You can’t have it both ways. It’s either he would or would not have. I think recent history has shown the exact opposite of what you claim Putin indicated. Nobody has invaded a NATO country because it works. That’s why the reaction from Finland and Sweden to this Russian invasion was to join NATO after so many years of not being a part of it even bordering the USSR. They know Putin won’t dare attack a member of that alliance. Clearly neutrality did not work when it came to Ukraine. Nor did appeasement, we’re paying for not being tougher in 2016 but the time between then and 2022 was spent strengthening Ukraine’s military precisely to stop the next occurrence of a Russian attack.

I’m not saying I have better insight about that war, but from my understanding, Ukraine shouldn’t join NATO

Well it’s a good thing that from the understanding of the people who make the choices you’re in the wrong.

I think it should be readily obvious why the USA should defend a country against an act of aggression. For one thing, violating international boundaries and seizing land through war ought to be punished. The precedent should be set that doing so brings about international rebuke and strong consequences. For another, the USA made a security guarantee to Ukraine when they gave up their nuclear weapons. We should make good on it.

Ukraine joining NATO would have prevented this war. Russia isn’t going to war with a country in NATO - just look at the Baltic states. They joined NATO to protect against a possible Russian aggression just like what’s happening now in Ukraine. That worked. It would have worked for Ukraine and it’s part of why I believe Putin pulled the trigger on this before Ukraine was in NATO.
