      If we stop funding the genocide, what are we going to spent that $20B on? Student debt forgiveness? Medicaid expansion? A functional domestic transit system? Cybersecurity worth half a shit?

      Fuck you. No. We’re blowing it all on new kit for a dozen IDF soldiers jerking themselves over a pile of lingerie stolen from a dead Palestinian.

      Just so everyone knows, all that money goes back to the US military industrial complex. It’s a deal where Israel gets weapons and our oligarchs get more money.

      Ironically, if we had Medicare for All, we could afford more boom booms since it is cheaper than our current system.

    Isreal gets more bombs, and the 1% get more of our tax money. What a boring distopia we live in.

      Didn’t she just lose her primary because of them? Did she say she is going to dedicate herself to taking them down now, like some sort of Korean revenge flick? Because I am all for this new arc of hers of that’s the case.

    So Israel does everything possible to investigate a wider war, like doing assassinations of peace negotiators in Iran, and as punishment they get more arms because of the increased risk of wider conflict.

    I have a feeling the US hasn’t really thought their strategy through.

      I have a feeling that they absolutely have thought this through and are just itching for another mideast war.

        I mean, I guess judging by their actions that must be true, and the whole ‘we don’t like Netanyahu’ thing they keep leaking is just cover.

        But they must know that running a proxy war in Ukraine, one in the middle east while also continuing to protect Taiwan and dealing with global terrorism is probably beyond what they can do.
