    Uh… Biden can stop the mess in Israel with a phone call. Reagan did it.

    Should we really cede all power in the Middle East to Iran so that we can stop our (fucking asshole of an) ally Israel from using those weapons on a highly immoral war?

    I’m not sure why that’s the dichotomy here, but literally yes. The US has no business staying in the middle east as long as it has. Also it’s a genocide, not just “immoral war”.

      Yeah, like I dont understand how someone can’t not get that geopolitics and allies change…

      The US was the reason the Taliban gained power, it’s not like 9/11 happened and people said we couldn’t be mad at Osama bin Laden because just a few decades ago we gave him a bunch of money, weapons, and training.
