And the UN will do exactly nothing, because it’s an entirely compromised organization that’s beholden to the United States.

Can I ask a dumb question? Even if this was true and for the sake of argument we assume that the dude is an Iranian propagandist of some kind, so what? Why does that justify removing the account?

I’m old enough to remember when trump would pretend to be opposed to foreign military adventures. He literally built his political career on shitting on the neocons that launched us into illegal wars like what we did in Iraq.

Let me take this opportunity to complain about online recipes these days. Everything is inflated with a ridiculous volume of unwanted fluff content that makes the recipes more difficult to use.

Like, I just want to know the ingredients for Beef Stroganoff and in what order to assemble them. What I get is a book that starts with, “Beef Stroganoff started as the ancestral celebration meal for peasant steppe farmers…yadda…yadda…yadda.”

Any word on whether they approved the use of zyklon-b too?

Pedant gonna pedant.

I for one am 100% done with giving soldiers any grace on these matters.

I’d been wondering what Kyrsten Sinema was up to these days.

In our fucked up society money buys relevance.

Remember back when Apple’s achievements revolved around making great products?

That’s cool. Apparently the school didn’t give a shit.

Well, if there was at that time (I’m talking about around 1990), it certainly didn’t come into play at that school.

I was regularly detained when I refused to participate. As I stated in an earlier comment, this was a private school that felt entitled to be forceful about things like this. I don’t know if the situation was different at the area public schools at that time. BTW, this was 35 years ago, in case that’s relevant.

Is forced the right word? Maybe. Did they beat me? No. I was certainly compelled to do it and punished whenever I didn’t. I went to a private school that regularly expelled students for things like causing disorder. That didn’t happen to me although I was retained after school day after day when I had enough stamina to resist the brainwashing. This went on for years.

I was forced to stand and pledge allegiance to the flag every week day for four years as a US high school student. Just sayin’.

Sounds extremely rational in the context of US trade policies.

Demand that the Israeli government end all military operations now underway and participate in an effort to reconstruct their society as a pluralistic, inclusive democracy. When they don’t comply, end all US financial aid. Then, if they don’t comply, sanction them. Then, if they don’t comply, blockade them. Then, if they don’t comply, assemble and international coalition and invade them. Depose the current leadership, arrest them and try them at the ICC. Establish an interim government that is designed to reconstruct their society as a pluralistic, inclusive democracy. Set milestones that gradually return local control as they achieve and demonstrate stable, responsible, and moral civic character.

Just want to yet again take this opportunity to say a mighty ‘fuck you’ to this president and everyone in this administration. Additionally, all of these ‘guardsmen’ can get fucked as deserving of the mindless violent fascist apparatchiks that they have CHOSEN to become.

Just canceled. Thanks.

I considered this, and it kind of makes sense. But, unfortunately Israel has an effectively limitless arsenal because of US patronage. So, I don’t think it really affects their project.
