The guys running /Politics and /WorldNews will ban people if they don’t endorse israel committing Genocide.
Hamas already accepted the ceasefire. Only israel does not want peace. There is no both sides here.
Go posts some NYT articles written by IDF soldiers.
Is this what they show on Youtube Kids these days? Back to Spiderman and Elsa it is.
We already have Lemmy.World no need for two of them
PA is Hamas now
Current israeli media claim is “gas leak in tunnel” but it’s eerily similar to
Haaretz Jan 17, 2024 - IDF Says Unclear How Three Hostages in Gaza Died, but They May Have Been Poisoned or Suffocated
That article is 7 months ago, and the new hostages 6 months ago…
The US hegemon needs Israel to control Egypt, Jordan, Qatar etc. Israel is the lever for controlling everyone else in the region.
Well no not at all. America installed Sisi in Egypt and is giving him $1Billion a year to oppress his population. As is Jordan.
Saudi is similar they are not pressured by israel but by the US. selling them weapons. As is UAE
To claim Israel is controlling the US is putting the cart before the horse.
America doesn’t control israel that’s pretty obvious with the Genocide, which could be stopped with a single phone call if they wanted. AIPAC is very open about it these days.
There’s an old Biden speech of “if there wasn’t an israel we’d make an israel” This was a great defense at the time claiming America needed israel to control the Middle East. But right now everyone can see that there’s absolutely no logical way that the Genocide which israel is committing is in any way beneficial to America. It endangers all of the puppet regimes in the region of being overthrown by their populations revolting.
Then why is the US sacrificing so much for Israel?
Because israel controls the US, not the other way around.
This Genocide has proven beyond any doubt, israel is not a strategic asset but a liability which controls American politicians. It is an unchained attack dog that keeps turning the entire region into chaos and turning it against America.
America already controls and has military bases in Egypt, Jordan, UAE, Saudi, Qatar etc. It does not need israel for anything.
There is no strategic benefit to israel committing this Genocide. The US has to use its leverage for israel instead of israel providing them leverage. There’s so many concessions being made for israel that Saudi might even get nukes.
Bombing people at his inauguration is the israeli way to say welcome.
America has bases all over the middle east. Aircraft carriers are not efficient to exert long term pressure. American bases in Syria, Jordan and Iraq are now under attack because the population is agitated. All of this does not help exert pressure.
The most important factor for oil control is Saudi, which America is making huge concessions to to appease israel. In the long term this allowed Saudi to decouple from America.
Israel means incredibly little for the region. It’s the only place where America has almost no bases. Israel only pisses off everyone in the region and turns them against America. America now has to use its influence over Egypt, Saudi, Jordan, UAE etc to save israel, instead of israel helping America control those countries.
Or dont read the book and paste your question in chatGPT
Well yes but also no.
The trick only works as long as other nations accept the dollar as reserve currency. Which is currently accomplished by killing leaders who don’t.
That amazing level of diplomacy however has the world steadily turning against us to a point where many oil nations are already turning away from the dollar as currency.
As long as everyone does not collectively stand up to the bullying the printer can extract from the combined group of bullied countries. But America is starting to lose its position as infinite money printer. Fewer and fewer countries are in its grasp.
Afghanistan begs to differ. The US army is a massive force but it can only be at a few places at once.
The ocean distance between America to anywhere else is its defensive safety net, but it also massively drives up the logistical cost of waging war half the world away.
Especially this prolonged aircraft carrier ship deployment is super expensive.
True but it is a difficult dilemma.
Hezbollah is still launching rocket barrages at israel.
1/3 of the entire Genocide Joe fleet is currently waiting for an excuse for Netanyahu so they can bomb Iran.
Iran is also still developing nukes. Biden has already signaled he wants to start a big regional war when Iran retaliates against israel. So every day Iran waits to build up their supply gives them a military advantage.
It’s costing Biden millions to keep his Genocide defense fleet next to israel every single day. Iran is likely interested in stalling as long as possible to run up the costs.
Breaking Points has amazing coverage on American politics which matches up with reality unlike those CNN casters which keep getting “surprised” their coverage turned out to be wrong.
Almaydeen is based (in Lebanon) and doesn’t recognize isnotreal as a country.
Have we reached the phase we are giving Ukraine weapons as loans to put them into massive debt and then the IMF swoops in to colonize their country?
I see you’re here to both sides a Genocide.
