Trump's Gaza plan will be seen as flying in face of international law
-
Not so impossible. Jordan already said it would consider dumping Palestinians over its border to be an act of war - a war it says it would lose but would fight anyway.
-
Not me.
Clinton came up with the term 'peacekeeping action' to rebrand his wars. Bush roped us into wars that lasted two decades, killed hundreds of thousands, and displaced millions AND started the US torture program. Obama destabilized multiple countries, was bombing seven countries at once when he left office, reclassified the term 'enemy combatant' to mask civilian kills, and made said torture legally permissible. Trump I arguably colluded with (or at least stood aside) while Russia escalated its military campaign against Ukraine. (Though I give him some credit for negotiating US withdrawal from Afghanistan and getting us out of Syria) Biden, like Obama, allowed the bombing of multiple countries throughout his presidency and, despite widespread reporting of Israeli atrocities, always made sure they got their WMD's courtesy of the US taxpayer.
All this is to say: They're all assholes, even if they give great speeches, and that's especially true with regard to support of Israel.

I saw one yesterday (on another platform, not Lemmy). He just reiterated the same points, then gave a shrug emoji and stopped replying.
-
Then arrest him and try him.... I'm requesting you guys do this cuz apparently over here and we just let him break laws and don't penalize him.
-
Some of them are doing the incredibly offensive thing (right here on Lemmy) of arguing that ethnic cleansing isn't genocide and what Harris wanted was genocide, which is worse.
-
Would be cool if that actually meant anything and someone would do something. But get ready for that Trump tower in Gaza.
-
i think he wants a war so he can flex some made-up wartime powers.
-
You mean a convicted felon?
Surely a convicted felon would never do something like break international laws.
-
Though I give him some credit for negotiating US withdrawal from Afghanistan
He negotiated with the Taliban and didn't include the actual Afghan government in the discussion. He setup an intentional clusterfuck to take place after the election in the event of his loss. No credit is deserved for this.
-
I disagree.
That was a two-decade war that, had any other politician been elected, would have continued in perpetuity. I frankly couldn't care less if the withdrawal was botched. That was better than the alternative.
-
And Jordan is the "nice" neighbor of Israel.
-
I'm sure that's part of it.
America loves wartime presidents.
-
Setting aside Trump, if Netanyahu could do that he wouldn't have waited for so long.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Yeah rememeber when kamalacaust promised to oppose genocide and colonialism? lmao libs.
-
Who's saying that? Got any links?
