hezbollah never killed an american who wasn’t where they weren’t supposed to be
the idf has killed multiple americans in the west bank where they had a visa and permission from the country to be in
Extremely funny how these statements come from Harris now because you just can’t attribute anything coherent to Joe
lol yeah
President Biden and I do not want to see conflict in the Middle East escalate into a broader regional war. We have been working on a diplomatic solution along the Israel-Lebanon border so that people can safely return home on both sides of that border. Diplomacy remains the best path forward to protect civilians and achieve lasting stability in the region.
…and that is why we’ve handed billions upon billions of dollars worth of military equipment to the side actively committing a genocide, and why I’m putting out a statement condoning the political assassination of one of the people who we would theoretically be working with to create peace in the first place.
Death, and I cannot emphasize this enough, to America.
In the mouths of western politicians, the word “diplomacy” is synonymous with unconditional surrender. They would rather burn the world to the ground than accept that they can’t get all of their maximalist demands and engage in actual good faith negotiations with their adversaries, trying to work out a compromise.
As seen in Nagasaki and Hiroshima
IIRC the damage inflicted by the atomic bombings weren’t especially noteworthy compared to the rest of the bombing campaign, and it was more a way to test out their new toys. If the nukes hadn’t been used but conventional bombing had continued, it would likely have had a similar result. This video by Shaun lays out a pretty compelling case that the Japanese surrender was due to the Soviet declaration of war and invasion of Manchuria.
This is all ignoring of course that despite the insistence of unconditional surrender, the Americans accepted surrender with conditions and allowed the emperor to continue to hold his titles anyway. There’s definitely something to be said about taking maximalist positions just to make a point even when they don’t actually care about several of the goals that make up those positions.
it was more a way to test out their new toys.
And as a demonstration for any would-be challengers (one in particular, and we all know who) to the emerging US hegemonic dominance, a demonstration not just of the destructive capacity of nukes but of their willingness to use it.
HEZBOLLAH destabilized the Middle East? A US Vice-President is saying this?
They have always equated sovereignty with instability
Whoever assassinates Harris should use an edited version of this as their manifesto
where’s that meme image from
This is apparently not the original version, but in the context in which it’s used on hexbear, this is the full image:
A lot of angry downvotes
I downvoted and I’m not angry. I just recognize that this post is intentionally inflammatory and trolling. As is common from OP.
Posting news in a news comm of a presidential speech that is literally a link to the official government website of that president is “intentionally inflammatory and trolling”? This is a joke, right? You’re doing a bit and playing a caricature of a typical lib clown?
Wtf are you talking about? It’s literally a statement from the Whitehouse. How is Yog being intentionally inflammatory?!
My downvote wasn’t in anger. It’s more about the fact that this isn’t a news article which makes it questionably breaking the rules of this /c/. Combined with the headline being serious editorializing via broad generalization of what the statement is. Not saying it’s not true, just that it’s a unnecessarily sensational.
To be honest i would trust Yogthos who has been posting news threads for years than some paid journalists that has an agenda to whatever news they report. It resembles the old forum era where if you hang around long enough, you can trust/trust a little some users.
Liberals…
MODS MODS an official statement from a politician isn’t news 3 tiny paragraphs have to be filtered through a journalist or i can’t read itthe headline being serious editorializing
what do journalists do i wonder
It’s a press release from the White House. Why would you need a journalist to stenograph it for it to become news?
And OP’s description is good, it helps cut through the typical liberal mealy-mouthed framings that are, otherwise, the only ones you would ever hear.
But who will chew up this statement and feed it to me like a baby bird. How am I supposed to form an opinion without a media propagandist telling me what to think!
…this isn’t a news article… the headline being serious editorializing… Not saying it’s not true…
I think you might be the worst person ever
The Joy Reich will secure living space.
