It was already obvious by comparing how they acted when the killed civilians where Ukrainian and when they where palistinians. The mask had slipped, revealing what many had already suspected: The tears are always a lie.
Democrats are literally participating in a genocide in Gaza with Israel as we speak, and talking about starting a war with Iran. Not only does the DNC want to kill brown people, they're actively doing it at an industrial scale.
It is simply his job to look after those, his own people, who elected him first, rather than looking after others first for whom he is not directly responsible and over whom he has no direct leadership.
Do elaborate on how sending troops half way across the world to occupy a country illegally is looking after his own people. Can't wait for you to make it make sense.
This seems like what about-ism to the original topic.
Regardless, this is a U.S. base that was established during the war on terror.
"U.S. troops returned to Iraq in 2014 after entirely withdrawing in 2011. They returned at the invitation of the Iraqi government, which was struggling to fend off a devastating Islamic State takeover of one-third of the country. The following year, the U.S. deployed troops to Syria to help the nascent SDF defeat the same group." [1]
Although the base was still actively being used by U.S. forces, we were working on removing U.S. troops.
"Another report on Wednesday by Reuters revealed that the U.S. and Iraq will begin talks on ending the American-led coalition troop presence in that country, conveying the message in a letter to Iraq’s foreign minister. The report noted these talks will likely last several months, with a potential U.S. withdrawal far from imminent." [2]. Look at [3] for Reuters article.
Outside of what Biden wanted to do, congress has already implied that they wanted those troops to stay there [4]. Even if Biden ignored the fact that a law requiring this much was struck down by congress (I don't know if he even could), he would be destroying his reputation with law makers and could be risking his public reputation.
The main purpose of the base was to combat Islamic extremists who were operating outside of Syria. We can debate if the war on terror was a good idea, however it was already previous U.S. doctrine. The big thing to remember, is that there was an ongoing effort to remove the base.
You can shit talk the people who put that base there, but I don't think it's fair to say "Biden is not looking after his own people" just because he didn't create some lunatic order to withdraw on short notice like what trump repeatedly did during his presidency.
What is it people want from him, just to virtue signal? Don't get me wrong, I'm disgusted by Isreal's conduct, but there isn't anything he can do that would do anything more than virtue signal.
Imagine saying that a genocidal apartheid state is "one of the only semi-sane governments in the area". Meanwhile, US support for everything Israel has been doing since it was formed is the sole reason for Israel being what it is today. The only thing US brings to the world is horror and suffering.
It's pretty obvious what genocide Joe should do. He should pack up and leave. It's that simple. Instead, this senile sack of shit is dragging the world in tow WW3 right now. US and Israel deserve everything that's coming to them.
The problem with your argument against Israel is that everyone around them is so much worse. None of the countries around them respect any form of human rights, and some of them (including Hamas) actively want to try and commit their own genocides. This much was obvious given how Hamas fighters acted on the Oct attacks (I think it should be common knowledge that they did target civilians as apposed to just military targets, however here is a taste [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ch6T9oR6tro]).
"The only thing US brings to the world is horror and suffering.", this should be an obviously hyperbolic statement. What about World War II? Are you not saying that the U.S. at least brought some good by fighting the Nazi's.
"It’s pretty obvious what genocide Joe should do. He should pack up and leave".
First of all, it is abhorrent to say anyone should do any sort of genocide. I know you likely didn't mean it like that, and I don't want you to think I'm trying to nit pick. I just want to encourage people to be careful with their words.
My second point on that quote, is that your missing the point. Have a little empathy. Regardless of how effective it would be at curbing Israelis actions in Gaza, this would have severe ramifications on civilians. Despite our shared thoughts on Israel, withdrawing US troops would likely both do nothing to curb Israels attacks on Gaza (Israel has a long history of operating fine without the US [2]) and it would only put Israeli lives at risk due to the bombing campaigns conducted by groups like Hamas.
