Pull all American forces out of all theaters of operations and bring them home. Let the countries duke it out on their own. Our allies have depended on us for money/military for decades. Time for them to step up and take care of themselves and their own fights. The United States is in serious debt and broken on so many levels.

[@dorothyleeuw8774]

@@maryannstiles440 That notion might seem counterintuitive and yet, when it comes to Netanyahu himself, it is unexpectedly on-brand. Prime minister for most of the last 15 years, Netanyahu has been an enabler of Hamas, building up the organisation, letting it rule Gaza unhindered - save for brief, periodic military operations against it - and allowing funds from its Gulf patrons to keep it flush. Netanyahu liked the idea of the Palestinians as a house divided - Fatah in the West Bank, Hamas in Gaza - because it allowed him to insist that there was no Palestinian partner he could do business with. That meant no peace process, no prospect of a Palestinian state, and no demand for Israeli territorial concessions. None of this was a secret. In March 2019, Netanyahu told his Likud colleagues: "Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas... This is part of our strategy - to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank." That catastrophic misjudgment alone should seal Netanyahu's fate. Taken from the Guardian……

So wouldn’t ya know, a stray missile from Iran aligned Shiite militia murked an “American” (he was newly American, 7 days only) Trump then begrudgingly kept with his promise. Trump did an outstanding job not listening to Bolton, Mattis, Espers, pompeo, all of the Sheldon Adelson recommendations. Do I trust he will not appoint just as many idiots? Nope. Nor do I think he could get any non idiots past a uniparty senate approval. So safe to say our foreign policy future is F’d regardless of who’s sworn in in January.

A lot of people seem to forget that the protests got so bad that a number of IDF officers and units were stood down to prevent a risk of a coup. Iran responding is to save face with all their pet militias who would go rabid if nothing was done. Israel responding to what was a performative action intended to keep hardliners in their place achieves nothing other than delaying Netanyahu's resignation.

What’s more sadistic than that prisoner being denied family visits while dying in prison?? The remaining 139 innocent Israeli hostages (many of whom are sick and dying) being denied their freedom let alone visits or comfort from their families. No question for me which one is more sadistic and evil.

Genocide? Dismantling the whole health system while burying 70K people alive and dismembering and burning other 40K people? Starving an entire population to death? You see, I'm not sure who are you trying to convince here, but it's hard to have sympathy for someone who display complete lack of empathy for others.

139 compared to thousands in Israeli prisons, being treated in such a way that many have died.

So are UAPs, based on Paul Hellyer a prior Canadian defense minister who clearly states in interviews readily found on youtube. He was advised uaps have been in contact with defense ministries, communicating they are observing humanity with respect and care, nor will provide any of their tech until humanity collectively evolves, guided by compassion, collaboration, co-operation..Paul uses similar descriptive words but essentially higher more thoughtful, conscientious life affirmative perspectives.

I like to listen to cultivate people who bring arguments from all the possible points of view.
