The United States has announced the approval of the sale of more than $7.4bn in bombs, missiles and related equipment to Israel, which has used American-made weapons to devastating effect during the war in Gaza.
The state department has signed off on the sale of $6.75bn in bombs, guidance kits and fuses, in addition to $660m in Hellfire missiles, according to the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA).
The proposed sale of the bombs “improves Israel’s capability to meet current and future threats, strengthen its homeland defense, and serves as a deterrent to regional threats”, the DSCA said in a statement.
In 2020 Biden got 19 Million votes and Bernie got 9 Million
Are you saying it was all a big scheme and that it was all fake? You think tens of millions of voters choices don’t matter?
Biden was getting his sorry ass kicked until South Carolina where he got one critical endorsement to edge out a slight victory. Then the party’s buddies in big media ran a “Biden miracle” story and the party got all the other candidates to drop out and put their full support behind Biden just before super Tuesday. They also funded a PAC to keep Warren in the race to split votes with Sanders. Thanks to the moronic primary process, after that point it’s like a snowball rolling downhill because by the later states, it will appear as if one candidate is the guaranteed winner so supporters of other candidates won’t bother showing up. It’s why superdelegates were used in 2016 to make it look like Clinton was too far ahead for Sanders to matter. All that plus it’s a party-controlled process where diehard party supporters are more likely to vote in that process than normal voters, so you’ll have an automatic bias for the party favorite (some milquetoast center-right stooge).
If you want to ignore all that and focus on raw dumb numbers, then you should consider that the voting population of the US is much greater than ~30 million people. Do you think all those other voters’ choices don’t matter?
I think Bernie would have been a better choice, but it wasn’t even a close race with 19 Million to 9 Million. It wasn’t even close. No amount of PAC funding can have that huge of an impact or we would have seen that disparity in the Generals as well. It was 67.85% to 32.14% if you don’t count the other candidates, a lead of 35.71%. Biden literally doubled the Bernie Sanders vote totals.
That’s not corruption. That’s how US Citizens voted in the primaries.
Thanks for ignoring the entirety of my response to return to the raw dumb numbers without the context. You remind me of people who post crime statistics of Black Americans to try to prove a racist point. Don’t bother replying if you’re just going to ignore the counterargument.
If you think you can argue with numbers that’s more on you than me.
