There is no red line.
Can't cross the line when they keep moving it
His red line is the same as Trump's weather map.
You know, if the GOP candidate was literally anyone but Trump, they'd probably be running away with this election. Heck, I'd be voting for them.
Bush got a million Iraqis killed in what only technically wasn't genocide because we convinced them to kill each other, per standard colonial policy.
There are so many blatantly evil and bigoted acts committed and supported by the GOP since fucking FDR was in office that voting for any of their candidates makes you, at best, a massive fucking moron with the memory of a goldfish.
Let's wait some more before closing the barn door - the cows haven't even reached the far end of the field yet!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
President Joe Biden is not altering his policy toward Israel following a deadly strike that resulted in the death of more than 45 people, the White House said Tuesday, suggesting the incident had not yet crossed a red line that would force changes in American support.
Instead, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said the US would look for answers from Israel following the country’s investigation of the incident, which he described as “heartbreaking.”
It was the clearest indication yet that Biden has not yet reached the point where he would consider suspending arms shipments or other aid to Israel, despite saying in a CNN interview earlier this month he wouldn’t allow certain US weapons to be used in a major offensive in Rafah.
“The word tragic doesn’t even begin to describe it,” Vice President Kamala Harris said of the incident on Tuesday, declining to answer when questioned about whether it crossed a red line.
Still, Kirby said Israel’s actions in the southern Gaza city have thus far not amounted to such a major ground operation, defining such a scenario as thousands of troops entering the locale.
“As soon as the United States saw reports of this incident, we reached out to the Government of Israel to express our deep concern over what happened, ask for more information and urge them to undertake a full investigation,” he said.
