I love your blaming the dems as the world sits by. It's wild how the dems are more powerful than world combined. Weird almost.
The rest of the world combined isn't funneling billions of dollars worth of weapons into the conflict.
The 10 year weapons deal signed in 2016? You do you, I'll blame Israel for the genocide and the rest of the world that isn't pushing for a peace treaty like the US currently is.
I have no idea why you keep bringing up that particular deal. It's not like it's the only or even last deal the US has signed.
The US hasn't stopped. The US went out of its way to ~~ensure~~assure Israel that there wouldn't even be any delays in shipments.
The US is blatantly enabling genocide and it's currently headed by the Biden administration.
I'll lay out for you since you seem to be struggling, that or you have some form of narrative you're trying to push, but you wouldn't be doing that right?
Israel is committing a genocide that the US is trying to get a cease fire/peace treaty for. That's more than the rest of world but you don't care because???? Narrative? Without support to Israel, Iran would run roughshot through the middle east killing more people and causing bigger problems. That's why the world hasn't stepped in and stomped Israel. It's like the world is playing chess and you're playing tic tac toe.
Save your bullshit response. There's nothing else to be said.
The Leahy Law prohibits selling weapons for genocide. Keep ignoring this because it's something you don't want to hear and call me a foreign shill some more. Lying in support of genocide is all centrists do.
10 U.S. Code 2249 section b:
I don't have a degree in political science, and I'm not a lawyer but there's the answer to your Leahy Law, but the last three words should sum it up. It also is talking about aid and not an existing contract. The more you know right?
You keep saying I support genocide, this is false and an outright lie. I've said over and over I do not support a genocide, not the one in Israel, China, or Ukraine. You've only mentioned Israel and you blame the US. What I find the most odd is this talk has been going on for a while. "Genocide Joe" that was the talking point, all you saw, everywhere. Genocide Joe. Then, Joe Biden drops out and SILENCE. No more talk of genocide for days. Nothing. Now everyone got their bearings straight and here we are again with all the "people" talking about the US and the dems fault for the genocide.
Why was there a break when Joe Biden dropped out? A real head scratcher isn't it?
"Not enough Palestinians are dead" is not a national security emergency.
People who oppose genocide were hoping Harris was better than Biden on the issue. Did you want everyone to instantly badmouth her without knowing her positions?
Any normal human would have blocked me for calling them out, or realized they keep responding to the same person. I wonder why you haven't figured that out.
Removed, internet slap fighting.
Removed, internet slap fighting.
Let me get this straight. Liberals are now, unironically, using international law as a defense for being the primary arms supplier of a literal genocide. And that’s supposed to be an excuse to vote Blue MAGA.
Lmao
Lmao you're pretty funny. Oh wait .ml ROFLMAO
Almost like the world doesn't want to also anger the USA
So now it's the USA and not just the all powerful dems? Sorry, it's hard to follow when your goal posts are mounted to a Bugatti.
Wtf are on about?
The current president of the USA is a Democrat.
Democrats used to say, "The buck stops here."
