When is the admin going to run out of excuses?
Making fun of the IDF on Reddit? That’s a paddlin’.
How is this making fun of the IDF? Seems to me the topic is the Biden administration’s arbitrary restrictions on Ukraine.
The trick to a good proxy war is that everyone involved has to participate via proxy. Russia broke the rules and now we all have to walk on eggshells.
to be clear, ukraine went ahead and did this anyway. And then the US lifted restrictions on this kind of stuff (idk if it was completely, but they did do it)
It’s not really arbitrary, it’s just geopolitics being geopolitics, ukraine and the rest of europe showed that russia would bluff, and we’re supporting them more now.
I guess it should make sense coming from a partially republican legislature that doesn’t even believe in the ukraine war to begin with.
It’s about atacms strikes deep (+100km) inside russia, what according to you did they do “anyways”?
It’s not up to Biden bud.
You’re wrong. Such decisions are made by the Executive branch.
Hahaha
FUCK YOU RUSSIA
Lmao fuck these wars are complicated but there is one simple fact we can agree on
I like the cut of your jib
PMCs: We firebombed an orphanage. Any government every: Boys will be boys
Ah yes Ukraine and Israel are both American proxy wars and not totally different conflicts with different politics run by independent countries
I mean…. They’re two totally different conflicts with different politics run by independent countries…. That are also proxy wars being funded by the US and China.
We sure are supporting Israel a lot for it to not be a proxy war though…
I mean, the difference being that the US has a say in how one in conducted, and a very justified interest in it’s outcome, while the other is in the Middle East.
Why they are running a proxy war that’s out of control and doesn’t help anything is a good question, and one that can only have stupid answers.
Can confirm, am American and am tired of our foreign policy decisions in both Ukraine and Israel. We should honestly just drop our Israeli alliance at this point, it’s a liability.
it’s not a proxy war they’re just using American money and weapons and some American citizen soldiers
Then what is a proxy war?
You have to say “I declare proxy war” if you’re a white country, but if you’re a brown country you’re presumed to be a valid target for any conflict that has brown people in it. For example see the US invasion of Iraq.
It’s liberal geopolitics 101
Rule 11. Don’t spread Misinformation.
I saw that comment.
Actual clown shit to delete it ya NSA stooge.
It was funny, too. That’s the last straw, I’m storming the capitol.
You won’t! I double dog dare you!
BRING IT PUSSY
And America is using that to exert their influence on that region in the world. Sure sounds like a proxy. Just because Israel has more power in American politics compared to Ukraine doesn’t mean they aren’t a proxy.
I hope that’s just a joke, it’s not like Israel needs more enemies
netanyahu needs Israel to have more enemies so that he can maintain a stranglehold on power indefinitely. basic fascism
Russia supports Iran while the US supports the paragons of Israel and Saudi Arabia. Kind of like the US was leaning Pakistan while Russia leans India. Now China finds more value with Pakistan than we do though (which will eventually make us do something stupid to “support our interests”).
Yeah, I still don’t understand the Pakistan thing. Pakistan:
- harbored Osama bin Laden
- has pretty uninteresting economic output
- has serious beef with their much larger neighbor India, and are somewhat friendly with Iran and China
Whereas India:
- has a ton of people
- already has pretty extensive economic ties to the US, which could be strengthened, and is a ripe alternative to China for production
- has tensions w/ China, so we have mutual enemies
- is highly unlikely to harbor any of our enemies
Yet we keep them at arm’s length.
I could say the same for Israel and Saudi Arabia. Why are we so intent on picking the worst possible countries in a given region? The only explanation is that we want war…
I think you mean pariahs not paragons. Paragon means perfect.
I was being quite sarcastic.
Whaaaaat
Is Israel bombing Russian airbases now?
For real though, Biden + his foreign policy and military advisors are gonna win a mental gymnastics competition with this shit
Biden be like: “Come here, anything for you haBiBi”
Biden is a simp to Netanyahu.
Drag hears that Biden even does Netanyahu’s laundry
They did what?
Also, the auto fill results when you type in “Israel bombs” are interesting.
surprised it’s not “refugee camp, orphanage, aid convoy, hospital, American warship”
I got “orphanage” as my second result.
That’s just the comedian Isreal, he’s not very good.
Wow very juicy. In Syria, but still.
“There are no russians in Syria!”
Well, not any more
The American reaction in the second frame should’ve been: cool, here’s more weapons.
