"We don’t owe anything to the perpetrators of this anti-Asian zeitgeist, only our righteous rage. We do owe it to many, including ourselves, to help steer the world toward healing and social renewal. We cannot shirk this responsibility." https://t.co/sBFegnH3vB
Marco Rubio 2 days ago: “Imagine if Iran funded the well-being of its people, rather than its military
Trump today: “We can’t fund daycare or Medicaid, we need more money for our military”
Sometimes the jokes write themselves.
America has moved so far right that “your taxes should pay for your healthcare” is considered radical, but “your taxes should pay for another country’s bombs” is considered moderate
U.S. soldiers were sent to die in the Middle East for Israel’s wars.
Meanwhile, the families of the people who pushed those wars are enjoying the World Cup from luxury seats.
The ruling class gets the view.
Ordinary families get the coffins.
HOW IS THIS NORMAL?
Trump on the girls’ school in Minab:
“The Tomahawk missile that destroyed it could have been anyone’s. A Tomahawk is very generic.”
Facts:
Tomahawk missiles are manufactured by RTX in Phoenix, Arizona.
The US sells them to exactly four countries: the UK, Australia, Japan, and the Netherlands.
None of them are at war with Iran.
The White House already confirmed behind closed doors to Congress that the US targeted the area.
CNN confirmed US responsibility.
165 girls aged 7-12 are dead.
And the President of the United States just told the American people a Tomahawk missile is “very generic.”
This is not a mistake. This is not confusion.
This is a lie. On camera. About dead children.
Hey dipshit there are literally hundreds of elementary schools in the US not only next to a military base, but literally on military bases. Here are just a couple examples from my hometown, it is exceedingly common and does not justify murdering 140+ girls in wars of aggression.
Professor John Mearsheimer:
“From 1971 to 2021, the U.S. murdered 38 million people.”
“38 million.”
And this is the same U.S. that now wants to “liberate” Iran.
REPORTER: Yesterday you told us Israel was going to strike Iran and that's why we needed to get involved. But today the president said Iran--
RUBIO: No. Were you there yesterday?
REPORTER: Yes. I asked the question
Netanyahu wanted billions to flatten Gaza. He got it.
Netanyahu wanted war with Iran. Trump just gave it to him.
American foreign and military policy must be determined by the American people.
Not the right-wing extremist Netanyahu government.
It’s been so darkly hilarious to see references to Iran’s “state-controlled media” as if we are any different. The West is so thoroughly brainwashed it’s astonishing. There’s never been a more captive or compliant citizenry, absolutely blissed out on bullshit.
Isn't it interesting how quickly the citizens of Israel reach for their European/US passports and flee the country "God gave them," while Palestinians continue to live and rebuild their land, water their olive trees, no matter the scale of destruction.
