Iran’s Proxies in Iraq Threaten U.S. With More Sophisticated Weapons

One hundred percent agree, but…

Most political discussion in this forum does seem to come from one side or the other. Thus far, this discussion has been pretty binary, with LIBs on one side and CONs on the other.

No it only appears that way to people who can’t do anything but think in binary.

Another thing Trumpys and wokies have in common. When you observe them the similarities are mind blowing

Why do you feel the need to pile on? Why not participate in the actual discussion instead. :+1:

I am participating.

Seeing them dance around their party being ok with Iran funding Hamas is comedy gold! Lifting sanctions would fund them even more and yet they all want the deal back including Biden according to BIBI! Then dance about woulda coulda shoulda policies that won’t do anything.

Also, no, the response is not ‘conservative’. The prevailing American consensus on Israel and Iran is neo-liberal, and for the Likudniks, quite without irony, Schmittian.

The enduring conservative stance with regard to Tel Aviv is ’ ■■■■ those guys’.

Any more personal attacks will be brought to the attention of the MODs. Please stick to the thread topic.

Amazing rebutal.

How is an observation a personal attack. mods use the same language :rofl: it’s calling a duck a duck. Prog/wokies and Trumpys are same side of the coin.

Lib, prog trumpy are not personal attacks.

What guys?

They think Israel’s funds should go to Hamas, at least that’s what AOC and Omar hope for.

Tel Aviv.

The Congresswoman from Minnesota suggested war criminals in Hamas and Israel be treated the same.

No she didn’t, that’s the spin the media is trying to push. Her Tweet was clear. Israel is the problem.

Three of you have singled me out for personal attack regarding my posting behavior. If you want to comment that my opinions are typical CONs responses that’s fine. I’ve said as much about LIB responses. Obama, Hillary, Trump, or any other politician loyalty has no role in this discussion.

“I haven’t seen any evidence in either case that domestic courts can and will prosecute alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity. And I would emphasize that in Israel and Palestine that this includes crimes committed both by the Israeli security forces and Hamas. In Afghanistan, it includes crimes committed by the Afghan national government and the Taliban. In both of these cases, if courts can’t or won’t pursue justice and we oppose the ICC, where do we think the victims of these supposed crimes can go for justice? And what justice mechanisms do you support for them?”

"We must have the same level of accountability and justice for all victims of crimes against humanity.

We have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the U.S., Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban."

It’s not a personal attack…it’s an observation.

Your expressed thoughts are always binary.

As in free-market capitalism, deregulation, and reduction in government spending.??? :thinking:

If any of my posts have offended you, I will happily delete them. I am not trying to attack you.

But I will push back on the idea that couching your insults at generic “LIBS” is somehow more legitimate a style of debate than old-fashioned personal attacks are.

Generally yes (spending reduction is more sloganeering than anything else), but since we are discussing foreign policy, it is that component of the neoliberal consensus to which I refer.
