In case people aren't clear, these soldiers are the operators of the additional THAAD system they are deploying to Israel. These aren't infantry being sent to kick in doors alongside the IDF. THAAD is a ballistic missile defense system with no offensive capabilities. We already have a THAAD unit deployed to Israel.
Don't be mad because you expect to see headlines saying US Soldiers are killing civilians in Gaza. Be mad because this enhances Israel's ability to continue escalating conflict with Iran and hiding behind US cover when Iran strikes back.

There was a pretty great episode of Stargate that explained why offering a defensive technology like that is still offensive support.
In that circumstance we (earth) were literally just powering a shield and the good guys decided to stop supplying the fuel to power that shield because it turns out it was being used to defend the aggressive Nazi-like-analogs that were actually the instigators of the conflict.

October surprise!

This shit pisses me off. Good post, but sad day.

as the Netanyahu government prepares to attack Iran—a move that's expected to provoke an Iranian response.
No shit.

Biden wants Kamala to lose.

i wonder what the posts from .worlders are going to look after she loses.
obviously they're going to blame leftists for not voting for someone who actively refuses to adopt any the leftists platforms or ideals and i'm hoping that there will be some sort of introspection from liberals; but i suspect that the diet reddit of the lemmyverse is just going to reddit.

I clicked on their profile to see what evoked this reaction from you and not only could you not be more wrong, but it makes me question your motivation for lying to try to silence others?

Starting a massively unpopular war after a year of funding a massively unpopular genocide all to keep the modern day Hitler in power is a bad idea. More practically for the US voter, gas prices are going to sky rocket and the stock market will tank, since starting a war with a potentially nuclear armed petrostate tends to cause market instability.
Also for your rant about "the far right," that person is more left wing than you, lemmy is a communist site, Harris is a center right conservative aiding fascists -- exactly like the person you might remember gave Hitler power to bridge the gap between centrists and conservatives against the left.

Are you like a crazy person
-
lol this reaction is actually just really funny, I'm not even mad
-
In your mind a government actor would be speaking out against the government's actions? You alright?
-
Wait what happened? Why are you downvoted? Did anyone answer you?
-
I don't know what the fuck these other people are talking about. If you take more than a surface level look into their account it is so blatantly obvious they are at the very least a troll. Every time I have seen them they are trying to take votes from Kamala, which can only mean a vote for Trump
-
And you're getting lots of comments removed for calling every single person that disagrees with you, a "troll." lol
Lemmy's not an echo chamber. Accept it.
