I have a better idea… why doesn’t the US just stop funding murderous fascism everywhere period?

Because being morally upstanding doesn’t work when every other country is trying to outmaneuver you geopolitically.

So maintaining global dominance is so important the US just has to enable war crimes and ethnic cleansing? That’s the logic of fascism.

The same standards should be applied to all countries. Otherwise you’re forced into a vicious cycle of an arms race for brutal global domination. This is the purpose of international law and if anything we should be decentralizing and strengthening it.

Russia starting an unprovoked war

Soooo… how’s the “Unprovoked Wars Since WW2” awards looking this year? Is Russia still about a hundred wars behind the US or is it starting to catch up?

We don’t fund Israel because its people are hungry, we fund them for the military advantage it provides us and this weird thing where half the country thinks that if Jews control Israel, then blue eyed, capitalist Jesus will be able to come and swoop down and carry them away to Heaven before everyone else is smushed by God like grapes in a wine press. It’s a whole thing. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/political-commentary/gaza-war-evangelical-leaders-cheer-end-world-1234884151/
