I’m confused. Defensive military aid stops rockets aimed at innocent children and families. So, why oppose it?
We provide defensive military aid to Ukraine, Taiwan, Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Kenya, etc. @AOC Should we cut all of them off? Or is that your policy just for the Jews?
Peter Sterne@petersterne
BREAKING: At tonight’s NYC-DSA electoral forum, @AOC committed to voting against “any spending on arms for Israel, including so-called defensive capabilities.”

Agree with Finklestein here, the idea that Israel tricked the US into war with Iran (or, previously, Iraq) is ridiculous
English
I remember when VAR was introduced in the premier league and for a few games it added this “exciting” new element. Fast forward a few years later and it’s sucked out the life of the game. You can’t even celebrate goals anymore. Gonna be the same with strike outs/walks.
English
This was also mostly done so that people who lose betting on a game won’t whine about an umpire being on the take.
Malcolm Harris@BigMeanInternet
I don't think people understand that they changed the strike zone for the robots. This is a new strike zone. The TV box is real now but it was not real before.
English
Ah yes the guy who 2 days ago was spewing war propaganda about nuclear suicide vests and claimed during the election that immigrants were eating people’s dogs.

Tucker Carlson says Trump “probably couldn't pick a more credible person” to make a deal with the Iranians than JD Vance because Vance is “honest” and has a suitable “moral rectitude.”

I’m sorry but you sound like a fucking idiot
Daniel Boguslaw@DRBoguslaw
This makes the third worldist left and neocon right look so stupid. There is no ground invasion. Nobody save for ken looked at the actual troop deployments/naval movements. Everyone is endless scare mongering to sell leftoids/neocons news.
English
@HBendaas @shaabiranks @alexbkane I think the claim that there's a US foreign policy driven by neocons (Cuba, Venezuela), and a different one driven exclusively by Israel (Iran, Iraq, Syria) is unnecessarily complicating. It's all the same. And Israel has its own interests that it lobbies for quite successfully.
English
@SamSacks @shaabiranks @alexbkane Ya these are all very complicated explanations for what has been reported as much more straightforward

Jewish Currents joining the “stop blaming Israel” brigade
Jewish Currents@JewishCurrents
Joe Kent’s resignation was brave, but his analysis is faulty, writes @PeterBeinart. Israel was not responsible for US wars in Iraq and Syria; to say so despite evidence to the contrary speaks to a dangerously conspiratorial worldview. jewishcurrents.org/joe-kents-resi…

@HBendaas @shaabiranks @alexbkane Seems obvious to me the war isn't going to plan and we're moving up the escalation ladder leading to broader targets. But oil companies will absolutely benefit from higher prices.
English
English
@HBendaas @shaabiranks @alexbkane Not really... The goal is installing governments friendly to US capitalists. It's been the same strategy for 75 years. Admin officials and neocons are open about this in interviews today about Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, etc.

@HBendaas @shaabiranks @alexbkane We kidnapped the President and told the next person in line she'll be killed if she didn't deal.
English
@SamSacks @shaabiranks @alexbkane A discount on Iranian oil would have been a pretty easy thing to negotiate in a simple deal, which is basically what we did with Venezuela
English
lmao... this guy isn't nearly as brave as some of you are trying to make him out to be.
Joe Kent@joekent16jan19
President Trump is working to get peace with Iran, if he can make this happen it will be a very good thing for our nation & our allies in the Gulf. The Israelis will be against this, but POTUS is strong & can get them on board.
English
@shaabiranks @alexbkane Pretty easy to blame Israel, as well as US imperial forces and the US President who keeps talking about finding an Iranian Delcy Rodriguez to steal the oil & is directly profiting off the market chaos caused by his war of choice (that no other US president was willing to make).
English
@alexbkane In some ways yes, in some ways no, the point is it doesn’t fucking matter because *right now we are destroying the global economy for Israel* at a time when skepticism of the US-Israel relationship is at an all time high. This is the worst possible intervention to make!
English
This is correct. The US & Israel share interests, which is misinterpreted as Israel dictating US policy. The Iran war stems from the same imperial motivations as the regime change op in Venezuela & the coming war on Cuba. Trump literally talks about taking Venezuela & Iran’s oil.
Adam Johnson@adamjohnsonCHI
Ok but Trump is asking Congress for $200 billion not Israel. Clearly Israel seeks the same outcome, and AIPAC et al will push Congress for the funding, but it’s very strange how Trump is repeatedly presented as a passive observer to his own war of choice
English
@drypeekgoblin I am “recognizing” it for what it is… a fascist who is trying to cut his losses.
English
@SamSacks I don't think the guy is a saint by any means, but the action he's taken here is worth recognizing imo, in hopes that it may motivate more people to take some kind of a stand.
English
Kent applauded Trump’s assassination of Soleimani and had no problems with regime change in Venezuela. He didn’t resign right after the war started because he believed, like everyone else in the admin, that they could win a quick war against Iran. He was wrong, now he’s fleeing.
