ANTI-White People Aktion

Markwayne Mullin: "We are currently drawing up plans to say, listen, in these sanctuary cities where the local radical left Democrats aren't allowing us to do our job and enforce federal laws, then we shouldn't be processing international flights into their cities."

Europe claims that its lawsuit against X over bluechecks is about consumer deception: that if the ☑️ merely means “user paid,” the platform should not suggest some other imprimatur. But a key force at play, here, is foreign governments’ desire to control who commands credibility, even on American platforms.

The populist isolationism gaining traction in both major US parties is naive and suicidal. How many times do we need to get spanked in wars we're dragged into because we let them get out of hand before politicians stop thinking that sticking our heads in the sand works?

For 70 years, America has pressured Israel. It has not worked. When we have pressured Arab countries, like Carter with Egypt and Trump with the Gulf States, it has. There is simply no incentive for Palestine to make peace. The PA and Hamas have not accepted any terms in decades. The closest they got last time, they walked away from half of Jerusalem and started the Second Intifada. Why do we insist on pursuing a foreign policy that obviously does not work? Does our White Savior Complex blind us so to the fact that Israelis and Palestinians are both responding rationally to incentives? To wit, the last time Israel came to the table with Palestine in good faith, they were rewarded with the Second Intifada. When they came to the table with the Saudis, they got October 7th. What consequences did Palestine bear for making war? Well, not really any that means anything to them. Their economy is still dependent on billions of dollars of international aid. Their leaders are wealthy and have not moderated at all. They are still supported by states that America pretends aren't spending millions to pump out anti-West and antisemitic propaganda all over the world that valorizes terrorism and encourages people to kill those among them that even hint at normalizing with Israel. One you incentivize Palestine to make war, and let the world punish Israel for trying to make peace, the result is well, what we have. Have we considered trying something different? Or are we too entranced by our own narcissist false ideas of the world, where Arabs have no agency and Israelis are shadowy perfidious capitalist imperialists?

Not only that, but wargamed since the 1980s with Hormuz closed usually early on. This was willful ignorance.
