Trump: “I declare that we’re having peace talks!”

Advisor: “Mr. President, that’s not how it works. You can’t just declare that two parties, that you’re not a part of and evidently shown you have zero control over, are now having peace talks.”

Trump: “…but I declared it.”

Soooo… What are they saying? I don’t have xitter…

Never in a million years did I think I would be wishing that Yemen is successful in its fight against the Israeli Genocidal Government.

We don’t like it today, why would we have liked it then?

Which…uh…Au mine are we talking about?

From what I understand, it’s essentially a long range artillery system.

And yeah, it doesn’t completely destroy the helicopter, unless it’s a direct or near hit, but my god, from an engineering perspective, this craft is almost totaled. Ever single shot needs to be analyzed to determine if presents a critical risk to operation. Every ping on the rotary blades represents a new location for stress concentrations and likely failures. They will have to replace all of the blades, all of the panels, examine the entire engine, transmission, etc. the costs associated with this are astronomical.

Can they still fly it? Possibly, but no nation that values their pilots and flight personnel will ever risk it. That said, it’s Russia…it may be operational by next Tuesday.

Yeah. Teenage girls are difficult to talk to sometimes, but I’d still make every effort to talk to my sister if one of her friends was like this.

With friends like that, who needs enemies?

I’m constantly contacting my politicians, protesting at every protest, and trying to fight facism every legal way that I can. This sucks, but I can’t afford to avoid news because it’s a bummer.

Avoiding news and current events is why we have such ignorant people, people not voting, and why we’re dealing with this shit in the first place.

I can’t afford to do this. Just stick my head in the sand. It sounds wonderful, but for the sake of my friends and family, I need to know these things.

We already know how to prevent more extinctions. Better environmental laws, more green spaces, better conservation efforts, less suburban sprawl, etc. You know, things that will never happen.

So…I think it’s pretty self-evident that Israel knew about the plan by Hamas to kidnap Israeli citizens, and purposely let it happen to have an excuse to attack Palestine. Seeing that they’ve pretty much gotten away with genocide without too much fuss, they’re hedging their bets that they’ll be able to just steamroll Syria without any international resistance again.

I think they’ve majorly underestimated how much the world is going to condemn this. It was one thing to “protect it’s citizens”, it’s another thing entirely to outright invade another nation.

I’d be shocked if Europe doesn’t sanction Israel. They no longer see America as an ally. Hell, this attack is going to shut up a lot of those “Israel has a right to defend itself” chuds in America as well.

No, it’s intended to show their real intent. He has an entire PR team dedicated to trying to make him appear intelligent, competent, and in control. However his actions speak so much louder than words. He’s barely able to contain himself. Luckily, his living flak jacket that he wears around is learning to speak and his hilariously repeating all of the things he says in private.

Honestly? Probably not.

Will it suck? Absolutely, but me and my wife make great money and just consolidated a bunch of our stuff to buy our forever home. We’re liquid probably $100k, and that’s not even touching retirement finances or other investments. I 100% want to help where I can with protesting and organizing stuff, but I won’t be in a state where I’m willing to be Luigi 2.0 anytime soon. Like. Even if we were to both lose our jobs, we’re comfortable for at least 2-3 years before we have to start worrying.

The people in power that are supposed to stop this aren’t. AOC is trying to rally people, but not sure how effective it’s going to be yet.

Anything you do as an individual is likely to fail and only make things way, way worse. So you tell me man…what should I do that I’m not already doing?

I dunno man…are you? I can’t afford to go to prison. I have three kids that rely on me for sustenance and a house. Nothing that Trump administration does is going to make life more difficult for me currently. I’m emailing politicians, trying to make good points online, and protest. I think that’s all I can do right now. Now, if my family is threatened, or I can no longer provide for my family, then we’ll talk again.

It’s roughly 10% of our US steel supply (or around 40% of all of our steel imports)…meaning prices are going to start going up. This is going to hurt…

He’s pardoned his own citizen gestapo. No matter what they do, he can just pardon them. Even if the police arrest them, they can just get pardoned.

White militia groups are now empowered to do whatever the fuck they want.

If you buy into this…<inhales>…hahhaahhahahahhahahahHAHAHAHAHAAJHAHJAJAJJAhahhahaha…you dumb, dumb, dumby dumb person. You are going to loose it all and I will not feel bad at all. This is coming from someone who actually invests in crypto.

Do not buy this coin if you know what’s good for you.

Yeah, in the interest of not having a bloody, civil war, I’d rather try to correct the economic paradigm that we have rather than instill a new one that will have its own set of unique and terrible problems (for example, see nomenklatura).

The chaos that will arise from the transition will be deadly, terrifying, and profound. It is not something I wish my children to have to go through. So, yeah…of course I’d rather work to fix the system that we have.

The phrase “are ethically wrong” is hilarious. According to whose code of ethics? How are their ethics more moral than someone else’s set of ethics?

There’s literally entire branches of philosophy dedicated to the concept of morals and the concepts of good and evil.

Edit: Also, to add on to this, something can be ethically right but morally wrong, or ethically wrong but morally right.
