The Dems could have forced a ceasefire. The Muslim contingent warned them months ago and polling very clear showed that a ceasefire would have likely changed the result in several critical swing states.
Right. Team America: world police rite?
Get a good grip, child.
They can't bomb Gaza without american bombs or defend Tell Aviv without American GPS or or or or.
You said:
I disagree, you are not world police.
Now you say:
To which I say: yes, but those two things are not the same, and your understanding of both geopolitics and Israel's current armament is not as definitive as your confidence in their inability to commit atrocities without anyone's assistance.
Don't be so reductive. The US is very important in the "mass slaughter" math here, no one's trying to out-kill you, you can relax, but you're not the whole picture.
No. I'm saying the US had the technological capability to stop missiles from flying at all, the financial power to make life difficult for the Bibi regime, the political power to back the ICJ, and is in no way compelled to reprint IDF propaganda to sway the American electorate towards their pro-settler policies, but they failed on all counts. The US made Iranian nuclear refineries shake themselves apart, but US tech companies now build AI tools to aid the IDF in their campaign of total destruction.
Maybe the ceasefire wouldn't have been total, but the polls clearly showed that the lack of effort would (and did) cost them the election.
