Then defend yourself, asshole. You’re so goddamned brilliant and bold and true? Buy or build your own weapons. Shoot down your own drones and missiles. You want your kids to go die colonizing Gaza and the West Bank and Iran, be my guest, but our children don’t need it. The United States military is not the solution to the last seventy-five years of mutual trauma your Zionist bullshit cultivated, or to your personal legal problems. Man up, then.
Dude, you do realize you’re too black to be Tony Blair, right?
There are forces in all three places, Iran, Israel, and the US, who would like to see a conflict like this really jump off, though. If you want to prevent a wider war, it’s those factions you should be watching, not the sky. As for me, I’m idly chillin’ with a brew in the ‘bite each other’s dicks off loool’ camp.
And, for the sake of cognitive and ethical consistency, the difference between the Ukraine and Israel situations is Ukraine is an existential defense of a people, who agreed to be effectively disarmed in exchange for western security guarantees, against eradication. Israel is a colonial project that’s been ethnically cleansing Palestine for nearly a century. Israel is the occupier trying to crush an indigenous resistance in order to take the land they live on. Apples n’ oranges. Putins n’ Yahus.
