You’re not going to jab me into thinking you’re contributing in good faith. You aren’t. There’s only a few reasons to dig at Harris and Democrats for something an entirely different country is doing.
None of them are good. None help those we do have the power to help. None deescalate.
Worse, you use the lives of those we can’t help as shelter to make your horrid stance against those we can help seem like it’s somehow a bad choice.
It’s awful. I can’t imagine how you got there, and I don’t want to.
In another country... that our tax dollars fund, we supply weapons to, and we implicitly protect with our military and political power. Ok, sure bud. I'm the one arguing in bad faith. 🤡
The day after Trump is on the TV telling people he's ringing Netanyahu almost daily to convince him not to agree to Biden's ceasefire proposals is a pretty shit day to be singing mud at the Democrats over Gaza.
One of the options is “unilaterally subject another country to our will”. I take it that’s what you want?
We can stop sending them our tax dollars, seeking then weapons (as dictated by our laws), and stop threatening other countries who attempt to stop this massacre of civilians. How about that?
What actions does that involve? Which treaties would that break? Which other treaties can we then be ready for others to assume we’ll break? How will we respond to that in a way that prevents cascading trust collapse? Is there any way to guarantee to other allies that we won’t turn on them when expedient? How can we guarantee peace is even on the table if we’re suddenly regarded by the whole world as a betrayer? As even less reliable than we’ve already become?
