Let's be honest with each other. Trump is the problem. He is a disaster.

He honestly believes Kamala would be worse.
They all honestly believe Kamala would be worse.

Why cash? Did he have no candy to offer the child?

Lemme guess, those filthy Hews got what the deserved on 10/7, right?

And the hundreds of Jews killed fleeing in their cars by IDF gunships and killed hiding in their Kibbutzim by IDF tanks, they were spared a fate worse than death!

You have roughly the same beliefs about Palestinians that the average WWII Japanese soldier had about American GI's.

What's worse is, it's fun for you. You get off thinking about kids dying.

"It conflates being Jewish with supporting Netanyahu's genocide."

If you oppose Netanyahu, you want to murder every Jew.

In fact, you hate Jews so much, you'd put the Jews in captivity, where they'd breed, making an endless supply of Jews for you to kill, while also demonstrating that it's not a genocide because you let some of them live in captivity, like animals at the zoo.

This comment is about Palestinian refugee camps.

"The war against Iran cannot be won."

It kinda could, if we did the "glass parking lot" that Republicans have been frothing at the mouth for since the Hostage Crisis.

But it would be a nuclear level pyrrhic victory.

"For decades, Israel has employed a slew of measures designed to make life in dozens of Palestinian communities throughout the West Bank miserable. This is part of an attempt to force residents of these communities to uproot themselves, seemingly of their own accord."

JeffJ doesn't think it was genocide when we wantonly slaughtered the plains buffalo, to starve out the Indians.

#6. It's not genocide.

We can work with that.

The essential question is "does Hamas' attack on 10/7 justify the ongoing non-genocidal pogroms and war crimes and wars of aggression being conducted by Israel?"

What's your answer?

Your view of war is pure Trumpian lol. "If we just smash them hard enough we can do whatever we want!"

Hegseth is that guy.
It worked in Venezuela, right?
And it works against "drug" boats!

Me?
I don't think that is possible in Iran.
It's less possible now than it was before Jan 20, 2024.

I'm trying to figure out if Republicans thought that Iran couldn't be won, before we see us failing to win play out before us.

Or is this a big surprise to them. That we haven't won and don't show any signs of winning soon.
Like, what do Willowby and Boaz think?

Define the political objective of your theoretical war.

Roughly the same endpoint as WWII.
That would be winning a war.
You get to choose their new government, and the new government loves you.

13 murders and 32 attempted murders

They did a number on Hasan. Easy to do on a Psych major; people like that publicize their tells.

After our culture, his command, his fellow soldiers, and finally the Islamists all did such a good job radicalizing him, letting him go on to his terror attack (which they refused to call a terror attack) would pay dividends in the Global War on Terror.

And here we are, with Hegseth live streaming a firing squad for a guy in a wheelchair.

It's a shame Leon Klinghoffer isn't here to see it.

Nevermind the choices outside the voting booth represent 99% of why they live in squalor.

You're saying the parents chose to live in poverty.
You think people choose poverty.

Just curious, what were the other choices on the menu.
Was riches on there, and they just didn't turn to that page, is that what happened?

"so offensive to so many Jews that it is hard to describe how offensive it is."

So move to Israel?

"get to live out your life in a comfortable cell and play video games all day."

By way of example:
That person was unable to defend themselves from being forced to live a cage.

"You actually have to define what the goal of the war is. "

The goal of war is to render the enemy unable to defend themselves.

I Googled that and the AI said "Carl von Clausewitz defined the theoretical aim of war as disarming the enemy or rendering them incapable of further resistance to compel them to do one's will."

So, there you go.

Maybe Sun Tzu had a different definition. You're free to pencil that one in as you please.

"It devoted a brief paragraph to condemning Hamas and commiserating with its victims. The rest was a much longer denunciation of Israel's "ongoing genocide in Gaza,"

The amount of time was proportional to the number of children killed by each side.
