"If we do absolutely nothing ever to hold Republican lawbreakers accountable the voters will respect us for it." - the Democratic party actually
If I was Palestinian, this would make me incredibly nervous. Trump never does anything without an ulterior motive, and doesn’t care who else gets screwed in the process. My first question would be “what is this ceasefire really going to cost?”
His ulterior motive was getting Muslims to not vote Democrat in November. He's been talking and strategizing with Netanyahu since before the election. So Bibi denied all of Biden's anemic efforts to push a cease fire because a hard-line racist Republican will be much better for him than a wishy-washy racist Democrat. It's similar to what Reagan did with the Iran hostage crisis.
That's because the whole thing is about geopolitics. Israel is practically a US military base. The Arabic countries are aligned more with Russia and China. This is why Biden didn't stop Israel and instead gave them more weapons. It was a show of force to neighboring Arabic countries while weakening their positions. While of course getting the ceasefire going is great for humanity, it's also good for Putin.
Disclaimer: I'm a conspiracy theorist that doesn't know anything about politics, so stop listening to me.
The Arabic countries are more aligned with Russia and China?
Saudi, Egypt, Jordan, UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Tunisia: are we a joke to you?
Did you read the disclaimer before you chose to get offended?
super offended, couldn't sleep all night
bonne journée
Netanyahu doing his buddy a favor. A temporary favor.
"Ben. Benny. Benjamin. I need you to put this on hold for a week or two, okay? Then I'll be in office and we can genocide together, alright? Gotta save some for me. Can you do that for Don? Thanks, Benjy. You're great."
I'm getting big "buttering up" vibes.
isn’t this some reagan level shit?
Nag, we gave them the weapons legally and without committing treason.
mmm fiat legalis
It seems like Bidens plan to give Ben everything he asked for wasn't as effective as Trumps
How is this not the onion? This is literally just a regular news article.
