No surprise that these ghouls can’t see a problem with the failed US policy in regards Israel and Palestine.
The rest of the west should carry on. This should be the beginning of the medium powers working more cloesly together, outside of the coordinating influence of the Major power.
Countries are legally bound by the 1948 Genocide Convention to oppose genocides, something that recognizing the self-determination rights of the Palestinian people before they are wiped out entirely is consistent with, whether or not Republicans recognize it.
agreed
and we should investigate this genocide thoroughly and then enact justice
I’ve been supporting self determination for a long time
they need some kind of convention to determine what kind of country they want
what kind of economy
what kind of political system and what kind of relationship between government and citizens
what kind of freedoms and rights for the people
what kind of social support system
what kind of infrastructure
what kind of checks and balances on government
what foreign policies
The US has already shown it doesn’t follow the UN, so why should anyone want to listen to the US?
Ignore threats from the party unless it comes the president, and if it does, TACO. Carry on.
Republicans really can’t just mind their own fucking business, can they?
There’s a reason the United States historically has not tried to bully every other nation simultaneously. Bully a few choice other nations? Sure, you can get away with that. Try to bully everyone else at once? That’s a different matter.
I think of it like kids on a playground. Schoolyard bullies tend to pick just a handful of targets to direct their ire against. If they tried to bully everyone, they would quickly find themselves completely alone and isolated. Bully everyone and you immediately drop to the bottom of the social totem pole. Bully a few and most will just want to be left out of it, and a few will join in. Bullying is something that only works on a small scale.
What is true for children is true for nations. Tariff a few particularly vile adversaries? You can sway global trade around entire countries. If nations have to choose between trading with a pariah state like North Korea or with the United States, they’re going to pick the United States. Try to tariff the majority of the world’s population or economic productivity? Suddenly you’re not punishing a few bad actors, you’re simply disconnecting the United States from the global trade system. You’re cutting your nation off from the vast majority of the productive, creative, and innovative capacity of the planet. In a rapidly advancing world, that is the last thing any sane nation wants to do. Yet, we plod on regardless…

Republicans can fuck off. Who do they think they are
