    Its a good thing Democrats were consistent in expressing their full throated support for Israel this election cycle.

    At March For Israel, Schumer Vows They ‘Won’t Rest’ Until Israel Gets ‘All the Assistance You Need’

    Not only did they take the mask off with their support of genocide: they still fucking lost and got absolutely nothing for it

      Yep. I wanted Trump to lose, but if the establishment Dems get lined up against a wall and shot, I won’t be shedding a fucking tear.

      They got the satisfaction of standing behind a staunch group of party donors and private sector hiring partners. AIPAC will continue to dump millions into the coffers of your Richie Torries and your Dean Phillips types. They’ll pick up recruits like Wesley Bell and George Latimer, thinning the ranks of progressives in The Squad. They’ll turn ex-Dems into private sector influence peddlers on their behalf. And they’ll continue to work hand-in-glove with the MIC to guarantee enormous sums of money flow into the Middle Eastern arms trade, which is good news for every Dem with a contracting firm hiring in their district (basically all of them).

      This might seem like it sucks for the party in this cycle. But its the sort of position that guarantees careers in party leadership and future opportunities at higher office for each given individual party official’s life. Going against AIPAC is a career ender on both sides of the aisle. Going with the flow means you’ll be hanging out in the Senate cloak room getting sucked off with your friends well into your 90s.

      Zionists gleefully worked with the Nazis.

      The goal justifies the means is the credo of Israel. They will happily participate in the sacrafice 99% of Jews worldwide to create an ethnostste with the remaining 1%.

    Israel knows they have the US by the balls.

    Iran has enough missiles to wreck havoc on tiny Israel. It’s only the threat of retaliation by the USA that holds Iran back.

    No other country would retaliate against Iran on Israels behalf.

    And to make it even more idiotic, Israel really doesn’t have bunker busters that are 2x better than the best the USA has. So they can’t actually destroy any significant part of Iran’s nuclear facilities.

    So it would just be an empty show of force that would force the Iranian regime to retaliate to save face, which then lures in the USA into yet another war in the Middle-east.

    I hope Americans are ready to throw another $10T into yet another MENA war.

    I’m all for disarming Iran of nuclear power, or any country for that matter.

    As long as it isn’t the United States or Israel that does it.

    The geopolitical chessboard’s latest move reeks of recycled scripts and hollow bravado. Democracy’s broken marionettes twitch to the same strings—sanctions, ultimatums, the threat of force masquerading as strategy. Netanyahu’s posturing, Trump’s transactional waffling, Tehran’s defiance… it’s all a propaganda circus where the audience stopped clapping years ago.

    And here we are, again, watching centrifuges spin while diplomacy gets buried under bunker-busters and bruised egos. The ”maximum pressure” farce just tightens the noose around rationality. When did statesmanship devolve into a toddler’s tantrum with nukes?
