Israel wanted to emerge from this war as a regional power and hegemon, yet thanks to Netanyahu’s overreach, it has been reduced to an overseas U.S. territory under American tutelage, stabilized only through the intervention and direction of the U.S. president.

The Strait of Hormuz is an international strait. Under UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (which Iran has not ratified) all ships & aircraft enjoy freedom of navigation & overflight. No state can suspend this right. Rights are not subject to negotiation & renegotiation.

I just find it interesting that it’s often deployed to rebut criticism of the left. He sucks. It’s why I left. And you can moralize all you want. But we both know the world would be better if Kamala Harris were president right now. You led an effort that undermined her for months in the eyes of many voters before doing a tweet thread two weeks out. If we’re doing complicity evaluations, let’s be sure to get the mirrors out.

Pointless having this conversation with you, but you just want me to lie. Obviously the Islamic Republic is a regime. It has an unelected head of state with sweeping powers, alongside the IRGC. Candidates in the elected aspect have to be vetted. How is that not a regime? You know it is, you just want to lie for political purposes. And it doesn’t work, because people aren’t stupid. We can win people over to opposing wars without lying, and your approach has the exact opposite effect, because it drives people away from the anti-war camp. Anyway this conversation is a total waste of time but needless to say I will never lie for the purposes of propaganda. My job is to always to tell the truth

YOU USED TO WORK FOR FETTERMAN like no shit, I was there.

People do not understand Rutte’s job. Rutte’s job is to keep Trump interested in NATO until the midterms at least and through the end of his term ideally, while also ensuring security and unity. It is Rutte’s job to be called names and disparaged by people. He is trying to keep the most important member of NATO interested. Remember, the worst case scenario is not an apathetic America, it is an America which is overtly hostile. You have seen a taste of that with Greenland. This must be avoided.

A great many people now have thoughts about effective Palestinian human rights and anti-war advocacy who did not lift a finger in 2023 or 2024. While others took risks to make this cause heard, they mostly stood back, enabled war crimes, or sneered.

If you believe that there was an ongoing genocide in Palestine, or even just a severe humanitarian crisis in the aftermath of the war, then even if it's not your ideological favorite, "two sovereign states side by side" is obviously a massive improvement over the current state!
