"The most moral army in the world" is a hilarious bit of horseshit.
"Those who attack the state of Israel instead of terrorist regimes"
Is there a bit of an oxymoron in there somewhere?
It's a thought stopping strategy, define a negative term to exclude the things you want to defend or normalize. Similar to how they used to teach about "alcohol, tobacco, and drugs" in school like the former two aren't drugs, almost certainly influenced by alcohol and tobacco lobbies putting pressure on school curriculums.
Israel and the US are rogue states and everyone is pretending like they aren't.
When I was young I was really into Star Trek, and viewed the Prime-Directive as a good approach to foreign policy. As I got older and more into politics, I advocated isolationism. People countered that we should all help each other, and for a time I found that a compelling argument.
Now I see good intentions corrupted -- sudden withdraw of help causing massive damage. I see a government that does whatever it wants around the world with nothing but apathy from its citizenry -- facilitation of genocides and support of authoritarianism. I see the rounding up and abuse immigrants on one side and the use of immigrants to fill labor needs rather than fund proper training on the other. I see globalization used to cut workers wages under the guise of mutual dependence maintaining peace.
There is certainly value to helping others and maintaining peace, but generally, I think Americans need to push our government towards minding its own business.
Yes! Attack everyone! Open even more fronts! The last ten thousand fascists to do this failed but you're built different! You have the indomitable power of will!
Spain, here's the plan. You're gonna dig into the best and the worst parts of your history. Best: the international solidarity and proletarian heroism of the Republic. Worst: the unlimited horrifying violence of the empire. You will fuse these together in an alchemical synthesis and use their powers combined to wipe Israel off the map. You can do it.
Not exactly stellar reviews for Spanish Armadas historically speaking, but ya gotta try.
Dusting off the old conquestador gear and war achievements checklist
Brother, how stupid and narcissistic do you have to be to go after Spain?
‘Omg the hot Euro country that has mo say in world affairs has said something mildly negative ablut us’
Jesus fucking christ you psychotic, pathetic fuck.
Donnie threatening the Pope, Bennie threatening Spain; Polymarket taking bets on if we get a sequel to the Thirty Years War or 2 Spanish, 2 Inquisition first?
They know they have to do something to make sure the rest of Europe doesn’t follow suit and heavy handed aggression is the only tool in their toolbox
What a fuckhead...how dare they oppose his genocide or be empathetic towards the thousands he has murdered for his dipshit religious beliefs.
