@TheWapplehouse A real boomerang isn't actually supposed to come back to you, that's a myth. If it comes all the way back to your hand, that means it failed at hitting its target. Who would design a weapon that's intended purpose is to fail at its job?

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
The Israeli government is well able to fund the Iron Dome system, which has proven critical to keep innocent civilians safe from rocket attacks and bombardment. Consistent with my voting record to date, I will not support Congress sending more taxpayer dollars and military aid to a government that consistently ignores international law and U.S. law. Netanyahu’s allies in the Knesset just approved a $45 billion defense budget, and the Prime Minister himself also asserted his interest in withdrawing from the MOU with the United States in January. It is fully within their ability to fund Iron Dome and other defensive systems. Our allies who need our military aid must understand that we will provide it consistent with the Leahy amendment and the foreign assistance act.

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said she will oppose all military aid to Israel, including defensive weapons. Will it set a new standard for Democrats? nymag.com/intelligencer/…

🎥 Iran’s FM Araghchi with Al Jazeera 🔸Host: Can countries like Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey provide guarantees? 🔹Araghchi: Not just one or two countries—experience has shown even the UN Security Council’s guarantees are not sufficient. Some ideas have been proposed by our friends, and we are reviewing what guarantees could be effective if the war ends on Iran’s terms. 🔹We do not accept deadlines. What matters to us is that the security and rights of the Iranian people are safeguarded. No one can impose deadlines on us—artificial deadlines only make things more difficult. 🔹The U.S. president must fundamentally change his approach. You cannot speak to the Iranian people with threats and deadlines. They are a great, independent people with a rich civilization and culture. They must be addressed with respect, otherwise they will respond on the ground. 🔹The Strait of Hormuz lies within the waters of Iran and Oman, not international waters. It is currently open, but closed to ships of countries that are at war with us. 🔹During wartime, we cannot allow enemies to use our waters for transit. Many ships are already avoiding the strait due to insecurity and high insurance costs. 🔹Some countries have engaged with us, and we have arranged safe passage for many of them, especially friendly states. 🔹Post-war arrangements for the strait will be decided by Iran and Oman, with consideration for regional and international partners. From our perspective, Hormuz can be a peaceful waterway, but ensuring safe passage and environmental protections requires a joint mechanism between the coastal states, namely Iran and Oman.

"South Vietnam requested America for help." Who created South Vietnam, Daniel? Tell me. Take your time. Go look it up. I'll wait. South Vietnam was not a country. It was a administrative line drawn at the 17th parallel by the 1954 Geneva Accords as a temporary demarcation pending a national reunification election in 1956. It was never intended to be a permanent border. It was never intended to be two countries. Every party at Geneva understood this. The documents say this explicitly. The United States prevented that election from happening. Why? Eisenhower wrote it himself, in his own memoir: American intelligence estimated Hồ Chí Minh would win roughly 80 percent of the vote. So Washington cancelled the election, installed Ngô Đình Diệm, a Catholic mandarin who had spent years living in New Jersey, as the leader of a "country" that had been invented specifically to prevent the Vietnamese people from choosing their own government. Then that invented country, run by an American-installed leader, "requested American help." Do you understand what you just said? You used a puppet requesting help from its puppeteer as your moral justification. That's not sovereignty. That's a ventriloquist act. And you're applauding the dummy for having opinions. And Hồ Chí Minh "started this war with Chinese communist help"? Hồ Chí Minh was writing to Woodrow Wilson in 1919, at the Paris Peace Conference, appealing for Vietnamese independence based on Wilson's own Fourteen Points. Wilson never responded. The man believed in American ideals before most Americans were willing to apply them to non-white people. In 1945, when he declared Vietnamese independence, he opened the declaration with direct quotes from the American Declaration of Independence. He reached out to the United States for support. The OSS, the precursor to the CIA, had officers working alongside the Việt Minh against the Japanese. They liked Hồ Chí Minh. Their field reports described him as a nationalist first. But Washington made a choice. France was a European ally that needed to be kept stable for NATO. So America funded France's attempt to re-colonize Vietnam. Eighty percent of the cost of the French Indochina War was paid by U.S. taxpayers. The CIA was operating in Vietnam before most Americans had ever heard of the place. Edward Lansdale was running psychological operations and building paramilitary networks in the early 1950s. The Phoenix Program, which systematically tortured and assassinated tens of thousands of Vietnamese civilians, was a CIA operation. So when you say Hồ Chí Minh started it with outside help, you are describing America's role more accurately than his. "You should be grateful your enemies were Americans." This is the single most revealing sentence in your reply. Genuinely. Frame it out and look at it. You are telling the Vietnamese people to be grateful for how they were destroyed. Grateful for 3 million dead. Grateful for Agent Orange that is still producing disabled children in 2026. Grateful for Mỹ Lai. Grateful for the bombing of hospitals. Grateful for the embargo that strangled reconstruction for nineteen years after the war ended. Because it could have been worse. This is the logic of the abuser who says "you should be grateful I didn't hit you harder." No. We are not grateful. We won. Gratitude goes in the other direction. If anyone should be reflecting quietly on how things went, it is not the Vietnamese. You said "don't start a war with Americans." We didn't start anything. We were a colonized people who wanted our country back. First from the French, who had occupied us for nearly a century. Then from the Americans, who funded the French, then replaced them when the French lost. We didn't come to America. America came to us. We didn't choose this. We chose to survive it. And we did. That's not a threat. That's not aggression. That's just history. History that already happened. History that ended one way and not the other. You can look up which way on April 30, 1975.

Americans were there to protect south Vietnam from the north Vietnamese soldiers, because south Vietnam requested America for help. You blame American soldiers but you don't know that they could have killed a lot more. South Korean soldiers were a lot worse because they wiped out everyone if they were ever attacked by Vietcong. The Vietcong were warned not to attack SK soldiers because they don't care. But Americans cared even though they didn't have to. America could have dropped atomic bombs or just firebombed the whole country without setting a foot in Vietnam. You should be grateful that your enemies were Americans. Your hero Ho Chi Minh started this war with the Chinese communist party's help. Next time, don't start a war especially with Americans.
