There’s tanks in Rafah, which he said was a red line, and he’s doing this. It was all theater.

Biden’s going hard on diplomacy, most of which we don’t see. We do see some of the carrot and stick approach he’s using. The stick is the canceled shipment. The promise of future arms is the carrot he’s dangling in front of isreal.

Biden reeeeealy wants to see Netanyahu gone

He’s being consistently ignored about Rafah and then he goes for the carrot? I’m sure giving him what he wants will really help get Netanyahu out.

What he’s doing is public hand wringing, private support. If anything actually changes I’ll happily change my mind. I’d love to see it. But no, we get more dead kids.

Would be real neat if the carrot stopped murdering children though.

Completely delusional. Literally just making up a reality and choosing to live in it regardless of anything that happens.

Is it also delusional to say that Biden is intentionally alienating the people most likely to vote for him?

I think it’s safe to say it’s a complex situation and saying Biden is doing everything he can is just as stupid as saying he is doing nothing at all.

If we don’t see it, how do you know he’s going hard on diplomacy? Is giving Israel more fucking weapons to kill children “diplomacy”?

imagine waking up in the morning and spending your time trying to justify support for a genocide

Cognitive dissonance, otherwise they must admit that the Biden is a genocidal maniac. But since that admission will lead to uncomfortable conclusions perhaps even tankieism, it is best to imagine Biden playing some complex anti-genocide game behind the scenes despite all evidence and remain blissfully liberal. You don’t want Trump to win do you?

This is hands down the best example I’ve ever seen of how the carrot and the stick isn’t done.
