The Biden administration in recent days quietly authorized the transfer of billions of dollars in bombs and fighter jets to Israel despite Washington’s concerns about an anticipated military offensive in southern Gaza that could threaten the lives of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian civilians.
The new arms packages include more than 1,800 MK84 2,000-pound bombs and 500 MK82 500-pound bombs, according to Pentagon and State Department officials familiar with the matter. The 2,000 pound bombs have been linked to previous mass-casualty events throughout Israel’s military campaign in Gaza. These officials, like some others, spoke to The Washington Post on the condition of anonymity because recent authorizations have not been disclosed publicly.
The 2,000 pound bombs, capable of leveling city blocks and leaving craters in the earth 40 feet across and larger, are almost never used anymore by Western militaries in densely populated locations due to the risk of civilian casualties.
We’re not shaming anyone for voting for genocide. We’re shaming you for helping usher in an American Dictatorship, as if you “abstaining from voting” is going to do literally anything but make things worse. But you do you, absolve your consciousness, and when you’ve lost all your rights and freedoms, you can at least be proud that you didn’t vote Biden. Go you! I’m sure a Trump Dictatorship will be fan-fucking-tastic!
Go read up on Project 2025, and then go read up on the early days of Hitler’s rise to power, pay attention to the distinct parallels.
Edit: This is what you can expect from our Christian State Dictatorship: https://www.meidastouch.com/news/texas-republicans-call-for-execution-of-women-who-receive-abortions-ivf-in-horrifying-video
The choice between Genocide Joe and a fluorescent narcissist gangster, what a great democracy, eh?
100% agree. It fucking sucks. This is why we should be pushing for Ranked Choice Voting. We would be free if this bullshit.
This is the solution. The problem is convincing the politicians, which would likely as a consequence be replaced by a third (“independent”) party candidate, or face a tough reelection, to make a law causing their own demise
There’s entire posts just for the purpose of browbeating people who don’t want to vote for Joe Biden. You’re literally responding to a comment one down from such an argument. And then you continue to do it in your comment.
Stop gaslighting people.
I don’t think you understand what gaslighting is. :/
No this is gaslighting. Even to the questioning if someone knows what gaslighting is.
