    Biden would fuck around do a coup right before an election if it helped Israel

    He obviously cares more about their right wing governments success than preventing trump

    • Biden would fuck around do a coup right before an election if it helped Israel

      I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out that the article’s sources were inaccurate - and it’s Israel’s coup, with the US merely not taking an active opposition.

      He obviously cares more about their right wing governments success than preventing trump

      I think this is a tad unfair, considering how many of Biden’s red lines Israel has already crossed…

      He made some wrong calls perhaps, but he is stuck between a rock and a hard place w.r.t. the election.

      Biden couldnt care less what Americans want. Harris is a sock pupet and Blinken will be floated next. There was an astroturfed surge of comments on reddit a while back saying Antony Blinken should be the next American president. He’d be even worse than Biden/Harris. The Democratic party corporation will definitely push him as the presidential candidate in 2028 or 2032. (Assuming the bribes from AIPAC are rich enough, which is always a safe bet.)

          Has she said she’s stop shipping them weapons and breaking US law about enabling regimes plausibly commiting war crimes?
          No, right. Please correct me if I’m mistaken about that.

    This sent me down a rabbit hole trying to figure out what the deal is with Lebanese politics. Didn’t even know they’ve been without a president for two years

    Last time the west went in a civil war in Lebanon, it helped commit heinous massacres, where thousands of people were brutally slaughtered in refugee camps. Women and children were also raped and beheaded with the support of Israel.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabra_and_Shatila_massacre

    There is an animated movie “Waltz with Bashir” where the movie maker works to regain his memories as former IDF soldier, who ultimately provided the light under which the massacres where committed.

    These plans of the US and their allies show not only a complete disregard for the political stability or safety of Lebanon. They make a point of dehumanizing the victims of their past crimes again.

    This is what makes me optimistic that Hezbollah can be defeated for good. Other factions in Lebanon have a strong incentive to prevent them from gaining enough power to operate independently from the Lebanese government again.
