Don’t get fooled, they are blaming israel for something they are 100% ok with
This is what is really dangerous about the right-wing right now. The savvier fascists have figured out that support for Israel is a bipartisan loser, so they’re staking an anti-Israel position, and some of them (Tucker Carlson, for example) are starting to integrate their antisemitic dog whistles into it.
The left-wing should counter with any anti-zionist, anti-colonial position that explicitly rejects antisemitism, but unfortunately, the defacto left-wing party is the Democrats, who have essentially staked out the same pro-Israel middle east policy as the neocons. Right now, Trump’s support for Israel is keeping the right pro-Israel for now, but when he’s gone (and his health makes that appear imminent), the right may outflank the Democrats on Israel, leaving us to choose between antisemitism and genocide. I would guess that’s what Vance is doing here.
If only this guy was a member of the US government, he could have done something
To be fair, the vice president has no power, unless Iran follows through in their promise…
Then why the hell do we keep hearing from him every 2 minutes. I would be so happy never to see his face again
If this war results in the divorce between the US and Israel, that’ll be the second greatest thing to come out of it, the first thing being the decarbonization speedup
There are a lot of dubious “gains”, almost all pyrrhic and smelling vaguely of social darwinism.
I’m looking forward to US customary units finally dying off because no one is going to put up with fahrenheit-pounds per square toenail anymore.
In the coming Cold War, I wonder if Europe is ready to emulate the non-aligned movement of India? How long will it take the US to admit it has a failed economy(+) like the USSR?
(+) Not as stupid as “capitalism bad, commies good” - but we need capitalism with real antitrust action, consumer protection, pro-union laws, and a fully funded social safety net. The healthiest option is a muddy gray, not black and white.
Not gonna lie: I have no idea what you’re talking about.
US customary units aren’t going anywhere.
Exactly. They will stay in the USA from now on, and leave the rest of us have our metric units.
We also use metric in the US. It’s taught in every science class from high school if not middle school. All of our medicine and sciences are done in metric, as well as military and aerospace.
I’m well aware. I’m taking about the problem of having to convert when dealing with USA origin consumer products.
You get to pick and choose but your manufacturers force us to deal with your ancient Roman units. I mean, whose foot was it anyway?
Due to the straight of Hormuz? Is that the linkage you’re making?
That and the destruction of oil infrastructure in the Gulf
Oh, so you do perceive it? Good. Now do Russia, the elephant that’s been stomping around the room for at least 10 years.
“It’s not our fault that the tail is wagging the dog!!”
That’s what happens when you let a child run a country
“trump says” “vance says” “thiel says” “vought says”
Treating the latest burble of lies from the pedo con-artist coalition regime as a headline is lazy ragebait, not news
I dont want to give him the credit of the ‘worst person made a great point’ meme, ugh.
Broken clock needs no credit.
After all, a broken clock is only ever accidentally correct, and never in a way that’s helpful.
Vance has to navigate a tricky path between the MAGA faction that wants more genocide of Arabs and Muslims, and the antisemites.
There’s also a good-faith position possible, opposing foreign interference in US politics, but I have serious doubts that Vance does anything based on honest motives. If it were foreign interference that’s the real issue, he’d have said something about Russia too. Oh, but he can’t do that, can he?
He’s playing both sides so he can always come out on top.
Especially since there’s a growing Republican base that’s against war and against funding going to Israel
Discreet? Are they blind?
What am I saying, of course they are.
It sounds better than saying they let it happen
“Wahhhhh, NetanYahoo made us do it. Wahhhhh!
Wow, look at the curves on that couch. Hubba Hubba.”
