@keepingitreeo@nekosattva_chan Alright man, you missed the part where it was more than 16 people. The numbers I was seeing estimated a million people down to around 200k.
I’m not sure where you’re getting the Marxists stuff from, though.
@keepingitreeo@nekosattva_chan They used the word genocide because it happened to more than just one tribe. Also, it has nothing to do with the number of deaths. It’s more of the intent to destroy/wipe out a certain group of people.
@stonemangiant@sleepy_devo Nah man, that school hasn’t been marked as a military target since 2013. So either they fucked it up, or did it intentionally for the shock value.
Also, take a step back. “It was maybe 100 children.” If that happened on US soil we would turn the parties responsible into glass.
@stonemangiant@sleepy_devo Yeah man, we killed a couple hundred school girls so “China won’t be able to develop alternatives to oil” and because “The Saudis said so.”
@stonemangiant@sleepy_devo You really think the war with Iran will force China to buy oil from the US??
You also believe the Saudis??
Holy fuck, get checked for lead poisoning. It’s a real thing with people at your age.
@stonemangiant@sleepy_devo 1: They’ve been “weeks” away from nukes for 30 years.
2: The threats went from threats to missiles hitting US bases.
3: Elaborate, lmao
4: The impact on Russia’s weapons supply is probably negligible at best.
5: Which ally in the Middle East does this help? (Hint: Israel)
6: Lmao
@stonemangiant@sleepy_devo Nothing to do with Israel? Not even a little bit? You can’t think of a single reason why they might push for US intervention?
@stonemangiant@sleepy_devo Alright man, I’ll take the mid tier bait: What part of the war with Iran is a tactically sound decision? Israel has been trying to convince a US President to do their dirty work for the last 40 years, and they finally found one stupid enough. What does the US gain from it?
@stonemangiant@sleepy_devo Do you stop and try to argue with the man yelling on the corner or do you just say “Damn, that’s crazy.” and keep it pushing?
