“Israel is committing genocide but an arms embargo against the genocidal state goes too far” is a deeply unserious position. Khanna also suggests Leahy applies to military sales which it doesn’t, it only applies to military subsidies so this is a non sequitur. More goofy hedging.
a perfect example of why you can’t effect change thru the Dems. Ro Khanna is one of the most outspoken Dems on the issue and was held at gunpoint by settlers last week and he’s still so beholden to the party and thus Israel, he can’t even bring himself to call for full sanctions
POTUS is absolutely right. Whoever provides secure and safe passage of commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz should be compensated for this service.
Iran has always been the GUARDIAN of the Strait and will remain so FOREVER.
20% is of course too much. We will be fair
Neemias Queta on Joe Mazzulla spending time with him in Portugal this summer:
“It’s just surreal. A couple years ago, if you had said an NBA coach is coming to that specific gym just to see me and get to know me, I would have been like, ‘You gotta be kidding me.’”

Before cheering on Morocco today, remember that it continues to illegally occupy the Western Sahara, which has been dubbed "Africa's last colony." Moroccan sovereignty over the territory has been formally recognized by three states: United States, Israel, and Paraguay.

Windward: Outbound cargo traffic through Hormuz has nearly disappeared. Within hours of the latest U.S.-Iran escalation:
• Outbound tanker traffic effectively stopped.
• A fully laden VLCC carrying 1.95 million barrels made a U-turn.
(And a sanctioned Iranian supertanker made it through this morning).
very tired of them treating russian athletes like they’re war criminals because of their government when they don’t do the same to american or israeli athletes
Probably the most disturbing thing you regularly encounter in America is how many people have been socialized to worship the profit motive as some sort of God that holds higher value than things like children being able to play sports
What is accidentally revealed in this post is that Hamas virulently and successfully opposed ISIS in Gaza. What's omitted is that ISIS-aligned groups have been supported by the CIA, MI6 and Mossad.
