This is a terrible analogy. If nothing else, it’s an example of “two wrongs don’t make it right.” But I agree with your next part …



There is certainly truth behind this. War is a money-maker for enough rich and powerful people to keep it in business.



This is where it becomes messy: the population put Hamas into power, so they’re guilty of empowering and supporting this regime. This didn’t arise from a one-man dictatorial grab at power. Unfortunately, this means there may be no getting rid of Hamas. It’s a wartime game of Whac-A-Mole. Or, as Yeats put it, “How can we know the dancer from the dance?”


I wouldn’t say it’s a proxy war between the US and Russia. This is Putin exercising his egotistical, craven desires for more land, more power, all the while knowing any country will only go so far to stop him without risking their own level of destruction.
Putin would never have done this if Trump was in power. He waited till there was a weak asf president with Biden. He also would never have done this if the west hadn't pushed forward with NATO expansion. He gave them ample warnings but they didn't listen. He also offered a peace deal not long after the conflict started that the US said don't sign and sent Boris Johnson over to Kyiv to babble with that little corrupt US fund embezzling weasel Zelenskyy.

It's 100% a proxy war between the US and Russia. That pos Lindsey Graham said they want to "fight to the last Ukrainian". The US couldn't gaf about Ukraine. They're simply trying to weaken Russia without a single US soldier on the ground. That's the very definition of a proxy war.

Absolutely, hence the reason why Queers for Palestine are more a meme than a committed body (physically). The ME is a catastrophe for women, gays, Christian and especially Jews. There’s no negotiating with violent Islamists, or tolerance from them for anything that doesn’t fit their ideology..
Sorry to burst your bubble but if you've been following the news there's no negotiating with a certain terrorist state called Israel. Hamas have on the contrary been very open to negotiations to stop the killing so you couldn't be more wrong...

It's the despicable Netanyahu regime who want to keep killing everyone in sight including innocent women and children, all with weapons and intel provided by Uncle Sam, the common denominator prolonging all wars for financial greed and gain to desperately try and reduce that 3 trillion dollar national debt without a single fuck given about all the death and destruction caused.

Of course Hamas want to negotiate: their cowardly leadership hidden away in plush Qatar saw what the Grim Beeper did to decapitate the leadership of Hezbollah. That was ingenious, by the way. They’ll be next.

There was a simple solution before this: give back the remaining hostages. They haven’t. So Israel will have to continue to batter them, until Hamas are destroyed. It’s not just an issue for the Jews, by the way, but they’re the big target of this evil and unfortunately they find themselves having to do this…

You don’t pay attention to Putin. The next target is the Baltic states.

You’re aware he’s a tyrant, right? Can you give a straight answer to this?
