Trump has probably killed hundreds of thousands, if not millions, largely children, with some at home but mostly abroad from various programs illegally eliminated. Israel has killed tens of thousands of civilians in Gaza.
Yes, as bad or worse than murdering 30,000 civilians.
Trump cutting an aid program is not the same as Khamenei murdering his own citizens because they dated to protest against him. If you don’t see the very obvious difference between those two things, we have incompatible moral compasses and there’s no purpose in us ever interacting again.
Yes they’re different. No, I don’t see killing kids (half a million at least!) from deliberate and illegal cuts to aid as somehow morally less evil than killing them with bullets. If you do, then yes, our moral systems are in fact fundamentally incompatible.
Asking again, though it appears dead kids only bother you a whole lot when it’s bullets/bombs as opposed to other causes (or if it’s Gaza, not even bullets and bombs). So it may be moot at this point - we just fundamentally don’t see the possibility of dead children the same way.
You’re a dishonest fuck who doesn’t give a crap about dead children or civilians unless they serve you in criticizing Israel or America.
The next time you’re trying to start up a sanctimonious circle jerk in the Pit, don’t @ me, I am done interacting with you, you slimy piece of shit.
Sucks to be a warmongering coward, I suppose. Especially having it pointed out to you. There’s an easy solution to the coward part - just join up. Plenty of recruiters out there. I promise to retract the coward accusation if you just sign the dotted line and report for duty.
Or, ride off into the sunset, you cowardly worm of a warmonger. Bask in your comfortable cowardice and cheer as the bombs drop and bullets fly, far away from you and yours. Enjoy it - this is the time for your kind!
Some number, slightly, less than all of them . . . unless they’re Israelis. In which case one is enough to justify the previous number.
And now the first American soldiers have died for no good reason other than the ego of a megalomaniac. They were stationed in Kuwait, which is where my grandson returned from not too long ago. The idea that he could be redeployed with only eight months left in his contract is very disturbing, to say the least.
It always seems that the people who love to start shit like this are the ones who have never worn a uniform or been in a hot zone. We should have learned by now that starting a war in the Middle East is a Very Bad Idea. We largely don’t understand the culture or the mindset there and have historically not bothered to find out what motivates them. It’s tantamount to walking up to a bear and kicking him to find out what might happen. The long-term fallout in the form of terrorism is incalculable.
Trump’s only motivation here is to look like a tough guy, raise his poll numbers, and to distract us from his criminality in office. He is terrified by the possibility that there will be a blue wave in a few months and that he will be held accountable for his actions. That this reckless move will likely result in thousands of deaths, civilian and military, has no relevance to him, and he is likely puzzled and angry by the negative response to it.
The Pentagon is complicit. They are obeying unlawful orders to carry out wartime operations without the knowledge and approval of Congress. One would hope they would face court martials at some point, but that’s unlikely.
…you are describing Israel. Except for the “proxy group” part. Israel attack their enemies themselves. (Although they’ve drafted America into this war) Last year Israel attacked Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, and Qatar. They illegally occupy Gaza, parts of the West Bank, Lebanon and Syria. Israel is ethnically cleansing the West Bank and is committing a genocide in Gaza.
They stockpile ballistic missiles. They are the only country in the Middle East to actually have nuclear weapons, and they lie about them, and they operate without any international oversight.
Israel operates torture camps. Hides bombs in pagers. Commits assassinations. Spies on their allies. Was the biggest murderer of journalists last year. Regularly engages in the tactic of the “double-tap”, where first they blow up the target, and when first responders arrive, they bomb it again to kill them as well.
Every accusation is a confession.
Can we have a citation for the 30,000 number, please?
…for context, I don’t even think this is close to the worst thing they have said about me LOL. I was going through probably the worst time in my life, and Babale decided that would be the best time to make a pager joke about me. That’s just how sick they are. They will never discuss the facts because the facts aren’t on his side. So he has to rely on lies and ad hominem.
…for Babale:
Do you condemn the siege? The World Food Kitchen will run out of food in a week. How do you think that prevents Hamas from opening a second front?
You believe there is American in uniform that will consider the legality of an order before shooting someone in the face?
LOL
So, when is Barron shipping out…?
More Americans are dying for this dumb war.
Fuck the warmongers.
They hate you for your humanity and they hate you for being right.
Yeah, this is the problem for me. Until 2025, we weren’t perfect, but at least we pretended to have some ideals and tried, and often failed, to be a positive force in the world.
For our evil deeds, we had the decency to try and hide them and then be embarrassed when they became known.
Now, we’re just the bad guys. We’re Russia under Putin – a corrupt kleptocracy that the rest of the world thinks is a menace.
Fuck you, @Wesley_Clark. Fuck the warmongers.
This isn’t meant to be an insult, but your approval isn’t worth anything.
Surely you can do better than that?
I get that you’re into war. Like a lot of assholes out there. But your justifications are pathetic. Almost identical to the Iraq war of '03, but with even less planning. Don’t you have anything novel to offer?
