Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

No, I talk as if Biden has time and time again defended and supplied Israel.
Biden is the biggest enabler in the world of what Israel is doing.
Biden's enabling it? That's the only reason why there's violence?
Yes, both Carter and Reagan picked up the phone, told Israel they wouldn't get any weapons and they immediately backed down. That's the leverage the US has over them, and it can be used any time.
Biden also fucked over Obama and Hillary when trying to put pressure on Israel, so it's not even a recent thing for biden to be just ensuring they get weapons
That's a very naive way of looking at it.
Maybe we can use some of the naivité both those Presidents had.
Enlighten me, why is it harder to do the same this time? Is Netanyahu going to get weapons from the Russians?
He'd definitely try. Although it's not necessarily our weapons that are the import part. Mostly how we (USA) does cover and is the silent protection against any western powers doing anything
And Russia has tons to spare, obviously, Iran is going to continue supplying drones to help them in Ukraine as well. /s
And as for the western countries, the only thing that is keeping those weapons flowing is US pressure. If the US stops, they'll stop.
