my favorite is that everybody is referring to the israel palestine thing as a genocide, but i have yet to see anybody piss and shit themselves over what russia is doing to ukraine.
Let alone what russia is doing to it's own domestic population. Take a guess on how putin is still popular after putting hundreds of thousands of people to death in a needless war.
For one thing, the US sends huge amounts of money to Ukraine for defense against Russia, and huge amounts of money to Israel for "defense" against Palestine. I care way less what people "piss and shit themselves over" than where the material support goes.
Yeah but Trump would end support to Ukraine.
What does this have to do with my reply or the other user's comment?
That in the very real and current contest between Biden and Trump that Biden at least supports Ukraine, whereas Trump supports Russia and would likely support Isreal to the extent of starting WWIII in the middle east to bring about the apocalypse for his evangelical base, who earnestly believe they'll be raptured to heaven while the rest of us live through a nightmarish helscape. Which is looking less crazy by the day because some people won't vote for an old man who doesn't 100% align with their political views vs fanatical insanity spearheaded by an also old man.
So nothing, really. I'm also not very convinced that any US president is going to deviate very far from foreign policy status quo-- Trump loves the weapons manufacturers as much as Biden does, and both conflicts are ultimately a gift to them.
yeah and he would also nuke palestine so.
