Hey, remember when democrats were saying Trump is crazy for trying to start a war with Iran?

[–] Crikeste@lemm.ee 24 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (11 children)

I remember when Democrats gave a fuck about 1 thing. Now they care about 0 things.

Imagine this:

-A democrat who supports genocide.

-A democrat who is championing Trump’s border policy.

That’s where we are now. That’s who democrats are now.

But I’m a ‘tankie’ for pointing that out, I guess.

Have fun explaining your way out of how your supported a candidate who supported genocide and deportations, liberals. ❤️

Yep. And when Kamala wins the popular vote but loses the electoral college because swing stat voters actually don't support GENOCIDE the Dems won't show a degree of self awareness or accept any responsibility, they will just blame Jill Stein voters

I say let them attack iran. It will be the final thrashing before the American empire collapses completely.

Iran really should be preemptively striking Israel; I mean Israel is literally drawing up invasion plans.

[–] Crikeste@lemm.ee 19 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It’s called deescalation through escalation.

America supports it when Israel does it, that means it’s okay.

Iran, go right ahead. Lebanon, go right ahead. Hamas, go right ahead.

Israel and America have already stated this is a perfectly valid reasoning. The rules of war go both ways.

Again: If America is the world ethics, these actions are perfectly valid. This is what America does.

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml 18 points 6 days ago (2 children)

This is what America does.

Except it isn't. USA does not preemptively attack countries which plan to attack USA, since nobody is doing that. USA wrecks and coups countries because they are either trying to leave the US hegemonic control or the ones that are simply appealing targets for imperialism.

Because the term isn't up yet and taking him down for being unable to perform his duties would be greatly damaging to US optics-based politics.

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You're right. But how is it not damaging to US optics-based politics to have a dementia addled old man start a war with Iran?

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml 6 points 6 days ago (3 children)

I don't know, i never seen starting a war being damaging to US politics, it usually gets their numbers up.

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Good point. But why does no one care about his pudding brain? I just can't understand. The whole country was like, yeah he's unfit. They after he dropped out no one cares.

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml 6 points 6 days ago

Peak idealism in politics. For some reason they are completely unable to think in a cathegory of system, it's all just comic book to them where colorfully dressed people run around and the rest of the grey world is a background that just happen, no agency, no reason, it just is. So despite having a really clear indication, that is completely identical politics of Biden and Harris they think problem is gone because person is gone. This didn't happen in year or 4, that was trained by long decades.

Biden is as much of a Zionist as Netanyahu
