Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

side-eyes Gaza
I think there are a few contenders...
At least Ukraine had been able to fight back. Russia's genocide of Ukraine is a mere glimmer in their eye, a vanishingly remote hope.
The Israelis, on the other hand, may succeed in finally clearing all that land for settlement.
The atrocities in Gaza have been ongoing for years, at a slower rate, and there wasn't much push-back.
Worst atrocity in history? Gaza? Don't know much history, eh? How about the Holodomor? Hell, Genghis Khan massacred more people than that.
Yeah obviously "worst in history" is ridiculous. But Gaza is certainly worse than Ukraine, saying otherwise is asinine
Not to mention the world events that brought the Israeli's to that region.
Americans are so easily led that they've completely stopped caring about Ukraine, cause CNN told them to look over here instead!
The Gaza situation has been going on for decades. Americans haven't given a single fuck about it until they were told to, with convenient timing.
Doesn't change the fact that the US has been supporting/funding Israel's ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and apartheid for decades since the 60's
Yeah and none of you gave a shit, actually I very much remember post 9/11 y'all wanted Palestine nuked. Hell, the entire Arab and Muslim world. Suddenly y'all love Arab warlords!
Reminds me of my country, you Americans glassed my country to keep Russia out of the Americas, and after you killed half my people, you guys started calling us wet backs, and suddenly your politicians and media are bending over for Russia and willingly spreading its bullshit at home.
You guys will go insane for whatever narrative you're being told to get outraged over
Your anger is definitely justified, American imperialism & Neocolonialism has and continues to devastate and exploit the Americas, Africa, the Middle East, and East Asia. I don't support any of that.
Many Americans are duped by Manufacturing Consent done at the behest of Corporations and the Military Industrial Complex. America does everything it can to exploit nearly everyone, including its own citizens. Shout-out to Knowing Better, Hasan Poker, Noah Samsen, and GDF for good info critical of US policy and history.
I'm an advocate for a One-State Solution in Palestine with Equal Rights for both Israelis and Palestinians.
TIL that the US nuked Mexico… or called Japanese people “wetbacks” or something, not sure.
Keep playing ignorant to the atrocities of your nation
In case you're not aware "glassed" means "nuked" and the only country that the US has nuked, not counting tests, is Japan.
Enlighten me. The US has done some fucked up shit but I’m pretty sure we never nuked Mexico.
Americans lost enthusiasm for Ukraine long before 10/7. Their was never a huge interest. Most Americans were nominally supportive of Ukraine, but it long ago stopped being top of mind.
Sorry Zionists, the days you could quietly cash our checks while you brutalize Palestinians without notice are over. But don't worry. Butcher Biden's got your back, and so does Trump. The American voter has never been particularly squeemish about crimes against humanity and war crimes.
I stop taking your view seriously when you call people Zionist. I know exactly what that dog whistle means.
