@saikatc Are you really any different from Pelosi if you're just going to ignore what your heroes Bernie and AOCIA have been doing, or is the reality that you'd vote the same way given the opportunity? https://t.co/bpQl51wYkI
@AOC there is no such thing as "defensive military aid". When you give Israel the military infrastructure that ensures it can do its genocide and launch its wars against Lebanon, Yemen, Iran, Syria with full impunity, you are directly and intentionally funding and arming the genocide
Every person or child martyred is a universe extinguished. Every martyr was someone’s entire world. The heaviness of these moments are unbearable and incomprehensible. For the genocide in Gaza to continue while the world watches, feels like the end of the world as we know it.
Zelensky is seeing in real time what happens when you sell your nation and people to the US-NATO-Israeli empire, as he is humiliated in front of the world, shouted at, scolded like a petulant little boy, and no one is coming to help him. It's over. They got their pound of flesh
I wish I could tell Refaat we did it, but I can’t because Holocaust Harris and Genocide Joe would not stop arming his killers. But we did it for him anyway.
So now if I don’t vote for massive foreign aid that goes primarily to the military industrial complex, I’m anti-Semitic filth?
Your unfounded slurs will not change my vote because America is broke and my constituents can afford no more.
Let’s be clear what’s happening right now. We are “going to war” with the Houthis - with NO ACTUAL PLAN. There is NO ACTUAL PLAN for how we will fight them. We’re just tossing our hat in the ring and hoping they don’t sink our ships. Its a purely political move dictated by a sick old man in Washington who can’t keep track of his own staff.
If Iran gets involved? NO PLAN for that either. There is nowhere to put troops to launch an invasion of Iran. So if it escalates, then we have to use the ships against Iran - the same ships that might get hit with missiles. Can a few ships defeat a land power with a massive missile arsenal? No one knows because there’s NO PLAN.
What about the recruitment crisis? Let’s say we did figure out a way to, uh, invade Yemen. Where do we get the bodies? Do we draft them? No one knows. There’s NO PLAN.
Don’t be fooled. This isn’t the beginning of a new intervention in the Middle East. Its the end of an intervention in the Middle East that started just over 20 years ago. It will be a disaster if it goes ahead. Dangerous, humiliating, name it and its that. If we get out of it without photos of sunk ships in the Red Sea and dead sailors we’ll be lucky.
The worst part? Anyone with a brain knows it. We’re going in skeptical and exhausted. Our PR game is cooked. The rest of the world thinks we’re drowning and creating chaos. What a sad show. What weak ‘leadership’ we have in Washington. What an utter shame.
