Trump's Gaza plan will be seen as flying in face of international law

[gnutrino@programming.dev]

Man that's some fucking weasel wording. Will be seen as flying in the face of international law? That would be because it blatantly does.

Wasn't the actual Afghan government a terminally corrupt failure? There's a reason the Taliban took over the country that fast.

[pyroneurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Do we? For a bit maybe, but after a few years we aren't happy when it wasn't the "20 minute adventure" we were sold.

Pretty rich coming from the the BBC genocide corporation.

[technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

It is hard for me to believe...

You should check out the history of the USA sometime.

Yeah but you could say that about any imperial puppet.

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

You could have searched yourself. This took seconds.

I doubt he's able to, but he would also have an interest in prolonging conflict because that helps secure his own position.

Their high morality was false, their allegiance was to wealth, their workers were enslaved and their genius was bought.

The United States has been at war for 222 out of 239 years since its birth in 1776. This means that the U.S. has only been at peace for less than 20 years total since its birth.

[baronvonj@lemmy.world]

A major factor in the country falling is because the US didn't include the Afghan government in the discussions to release 5000 Taliban fighters right before leaving the country.

[baronvonj@lemmy.world]

The thing is, he had his whole presidency to pull out of Afghanistan, and then didn't. All he did was negotiate a political time bomb for his predecessor. Biden is the one who actually pulled the troops out. You should care that it was botched because it was done so on purpose, by Trump, at the negotiating table. Credit for actually pulling out goes too Biden.

[flashmobofone@lemmy.world]

I couldn't care less about the circumstances. Also don't care who gets the credit, and besides, Biden loved to bloody his hands as evidenced by his decision to make sure Israel's WMD's always arrived on time. Pretending he was a peacemaker is just silly.

I care that a war meant to be permanent finally ended, as it should have done many, many years earlier.

[corkyskog@sh.itjust.works]

Its not on the reader to have to research extraordinary claims.

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

It was such an extraordinary claim that it took seconds to find an example of.

[adarza@lemmy.ca]

there's a documentary about the trials and tribulations of a peacetime president. i think bacon was involved.
