I’m impressed that a pro footballer found Lemmy. Welcome!

If we were morally consistent, it wouldn’t involve us AT ALL.

We actively supported and even bankrolled Israel to commit 100 hundred times worse war crimes to Palestinians. If it was about morality or being on the side of “good”, why are we on opposite sides of both conflicts? The answer: follow the money. If it profits MIC, the Democrats and their (either unwitting or not) astroturfers will push for it. The Republicans have always been warhawks but now even the left wing is all about extrajudicial killing of citizens if it means PROFIT.

We send HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS to Ukraine for a literally unwinnable proxy war while huge chunks of our population is dying from preventable illnesses due to private healthcare that even the “leftists” in Congress pretend to be helpless on.

What happened to isolationism? I’ll answer that. It’s not profitable for the people actually running the government.

I used a completely random link from a list of a hundred of them. If you won’t read that one, search it yourself if you want to read a different source reporting these objective facts. I’m not here to cater to your random requests.

The very definition of Imperialism (which a lot of world users/admins engage in constantly) is being duped into pushing harder for World War III against Russia and China than you could ever muster to defend 50,000 innocent people being genocided using your tax money.

No matter what, regardless of morality, if it means more military spending, neolibs and centrist DNC dupes will conveniently support it.

No thanks.

Either do your own research and look it up yourself or GTFO.

Reminds me of the presence of US mercenaries in Israel. Fascist nations think alike.

Me neither! I try to keep my mouth shut since I’m a prolific moderator but your truths are like medicine to me. I can’t believe how obvious it is to me (and you) but everyone else is just falling for the same thing over and over.

They’re so programmed that if I’m critical of Biden, they accuse me of being a Trumper and if I’m critical of Trump, they’ll think I’m like them, some genocide-supporting (somehow anti Palestine but pro Ukraine) identity politics zombie that can’t possibly be anything other than those two categories.

Your history is glorious. Thanks for routinely being the only person making actual sense in the comment section. ✊🏽

It feels AOC is doing all the heavylifting grandstanding while all the rest of them smug bunch are just watching with “told ya dis was gunn happen” drawn on their face.

Please tell me my ignorant ass is just blatantly wrong because I ain’t getting any news.

You’re blatantly wrong. AOC lives to grandstand and pander. Just like mamabear Pelosi, she kept REALLY quiet about everything (including the ongoing genocide she voted to keep funding) when her team was in power.

Here’s a video showing how she was hand-picked from 10,000 applicants in a nationwide talent search for a pretty face to intentionally and impotently pander and drum up support from low-information identity politics dupes to keep eroding labor movements under the guise of being a leftist.

Cast your attention to Rashida Tlaib if you want a real one. AOC is as fake as professional wrestling.

Yes. They did, after all, assassinate him.

It’s pretty funny to see this thread filled with wrong answers by lemmy.world users and those same smuglibs downvoting anyone that suggests otherwise when it’s pretty universally accepted that he was killed by the CIA.

The CIA even did a distinctive CIA-style cleanup job , eliminating all parties with knowledge of the hit afterward.

What for many years seemed unthinkable has turned out to be true after all.

There was a CIA cover-up. The CIA did suppress information. The CIA did stonewall both of the official government investigations of the JFK assassination. And as a consequence of this Agency misconduct, both investigations were compromised in important respects-particularly in regard to the fundamental issues of whether the assassination resulted from a conspiracy and whether Lee Harvey Oswald (alleged to be the sole assassin in the Warren Report and alleged to be one of multiple assassins in the Report of the House Assassinations Committee) was affiliated with the CIA.
