    What you mean to tell me geopolitical diplomacy is more complicated and delicate than the people screaming “genocide Joe” think it is??? Shocking.

      No. It means enough people screaming genocide Joe loudly enough had a small but tangible impact on American foreign policy.

          You don’t think that realizing he was pissing off his base, during an election year, has any impact on his choices?

            Considering those people are not going to vote Trump over this, or probably any issue, I don’t think he cares, no.

              It’s not about people changing their minds. Centrists don’t really exist. It’s about motivating people to actually fucking vote. When people vote, Dems win. When Dems are unpopular, people don’t vote and Rs win because they vote no matter what.

                  It’s socialism to care about anything other than yourself?

              You say that but I think there’s a sizable number that already are voting for Trump

          Certainly not, but he definitely cares about the 100,000 people that voted uncommitted in Michigan and the littany of polls that show a majority of Democratic and young voters not supporting current US foreign policy.

          The uncommitted movement got 100K votes Michigan, and within days the Biden administration started a complete 180 on Israel. It’s more than a few Twitter users and he clearly cares very deeply.

        No

        So you’re unironically arguing that geopolitical diplomacy IS actually simple? Really?

          I recommend you read the second sentence that you declined to quote.

            That sentence isn’t relevant though is it?

            Do you think geopolitics is that simple or nah?

              Of course the sentence is relevant. I’m not sure why I should bother writing a reply to you when you apparently stop reading them after the first word. Have a good day.

                JFC you aren’t even denying it. you guys actually unironically believe it’s that simple.

                  Selective reading makes you look ridiculous.

                    It’s not selective reading. If I make a statement and you say “No” that mea s you’re refuting that statement.

                    Then their second sentence had nothing to do with wether they think these politics are simple or not, hence why I didn’t quit it.

                    The OP is just using bad faith arguments to distracts from that. Which is why they don’t even attempt to deny it and just criticise the fact I didn’t quote their entire comment instead of responding.

      Do you suppose that Bibi believes there are ramifications for going into Rafah now?
