    We have stock piles that we can grant to other nations without congressional approval. We use these to keep supplying Ukraine when Republicans act cute. It just sounds as a reallocation of assets. Trump would do this in a heartbeat. His own son has bragged about stealing Palestinian land.

    Harris absolutely would not put American boots on the ground to fuck with Israel’s neighbors because Israel isn’t worth it in the slightest. But what Israel does have is a AIPAC and the current political situation means that if a shit ton of money and political favors and compromot gets turned against Harris the moment she or Biden piss Netanyahu off enough, ruining the presidential election but also down ballot campaigns.

    I understand genocide quite well. If there is justice America will face a great many consequences and Israel will as well. But the key issue right now is Trump will win if Kamala does not. And Trump will do more than make the genocide worse he will make this country worse than before in ways that will cost lives here and abroad. That isn’t saying Harris is perfect, it’s saying Trump is worse. And I know that sucks ass. It does. But it’s been sucking ass and it won’t be fixed until we have a real national left party or otherwise that has an actual edge in a national election.

    At least other nations have more balls and I’m hoping international pressure starts to weigh on the US as well. But Trump is famously manipulatable by dictators, love Netanyahu etc all the coming sucking memes. I don’t think for a moment that Trump would yield to and international pressure in a positive way. Ignoring all the domestic garbage and christofascist apocalyptic bullshit.

    TLDR fuck man shit sucks

    By providing more weapons, removing all pretext of even a symbalance of a spine, putting our troops on the ground in neighboring nations to expand the fuckery. This can get much much much worse and I don’t know why people ignore it. Trump will lead to greater horrors that’s the whole reason we are pissed because we don’t have real options right now.




  • It matters quite a lot given that Republicans as a party have openly stated that Israel should accelerate all violence against the people of Palestine and expand settlements. The Republican party previously used moabs in the middle east just because Trump wanted go see a big bang and assassinated an Iranian general after inviting him for a peace talk. It matters quite a lot.

    Our situation sucks ass but it’s either the Democratic party or make things far worse for everyone far faster and completely destroy the possibility of doing anything at all.
