Broken's post included some insightful comments about the situation in the Middle East and Lebanon itself, but it once again demonstrated how fucking ignorant he is about the United States.
To be clear, I'll keep this straightforward.
You fucking racist piece of shit: hundreds are dead. Over 5000 wounded. The city is blown to pieces. 300,000 people are homeless. I've completely lost my apartment with my girlfriend and the only reason I'm alive is we weren't there.
Lol.....there you go. It didn't take you long to throw out that completely hollow and vacuous "r" term for pejorative effect. What does "racism" have to do with this situation? Is it now racist to think that intellectually speaking you are an idiot? I guess we can add that to the ever-changing and ever-evolving list of definitions for the term.
That said, even though I think that, intellectually speaking, you are a vile turd who is woefully ignorant of the United States, I prayed for your safety. I'm glad you're okay, although as far as your property damage goes I don't have much more sympathy for you than I do the left-wing residents of Minneapolis, who just saw their city be entirely trashed as a result of the leaders they voted into power. At least in your case it appears that you loathe the leaders of your country, whereas the residents of the cities in the USA that are being trashed and looted right now with skyrocketing crime rates (NYC, Portland, Seattle, etc.) have all joyously supported the Democratic mayors and governors and council men and women of their cities that they so richly deserve.
That you'd use a tragedy like that, which as it stands, is literally one of the biggest 5 blasts to rock the world outside of times of war (some have said the third strongest aside form Hiroshima and Nagasaki... I forget who was responsible for this),
It is funny how you always bring up Hiroshima and Nagasaki, without the slightest bit of even-handedness. That incident is a highly debated question. Some historians estimate that in the long run over 10 million lives were saved from use of the bomb. Personally I haven't researched it enough to have much of an opinion, but clearly the issue is more complex than you make it out to be. The USA did not enter the war with the intent to drop atomic bombs on other countries. The war in the Pacific got to the point where U.S. leaders made a difficult decision to finish the war. I'm not endorsing it; I am just saying that the situation was not as cut-and-dry as you make it out to be. There are many Filipino-Americans to this day who are grateful the USA did what it did to Japan, because the Japanese were utterly brutal toward numerous groups in Asia.
Speaking of Japan, it is highly ironic for you all of people with your incessant referencing of "racism" to give Japan a pass for allying with the Nazis in the most brutal war in history. That's not to say that fact alone justifies dropping the bomb, but it is to say that the Japanese were hardly innocent and they allied themselves to the Nazi killing machine. And in the Pacific they were utterly brutal to their enemies.
Finally, if you do want to blame the USA for using the bomb without any even-handedness, I would remind you that the president who signed off on the decision was Harry Truman, a left-wing Democrat at the time. And the president who got the USA into the war was Franklin Roosevelt, another left-wing Democrat. Neither of those two were "far-right Americans." Far from it. Maybe you should read up a little bit about American foreign policy so you aren't as clueless about what constitute right-wing and left-wing positions.
to score points here with someone who literally just lost a house, regarding a tragedy that has affected everyone is really on brand with a racist piece of garbage like you.
Again, I prayed for your safety, but based on the vile and ignorant things you have said about right-wing Americans, there is a part of me that does not mind that you got to feel what it's like after the cretinous left-wing activist scum in the United States (Antifa, Black Lives Matter, etc.) that you agree with and side with run roughshod over cities. Minneapolis just went through the same kind of thing that Beirut did - the difference being that Beirut suffered from an asinine government blunder, while people that you agree with ideologically massacred Minneapolis with the intent to destroy and pillage. What occurred in Beirut was likely an accident. What occurred in Minneapolis was orchestrated intentionally by people who think like you and Moxie.
Imagine if Beirut was in the condition it was because of rampaging mobs burning places down and vandalizing buildings, instead of an explosion that occurred accidentally. You would probably think ISIS did it. Well, the U.S. has its own versions of ISIS - and they are people who agree with you and Moxie ideologically.
As incompetent as Trump is
How the fuck is Trump incompetent? He became president of the United States with the political establishments of both parties, most major corporations, and almost the entire political media opposing his candidacy. No "incompetent" person could pull off such a feat. Then, as president, he has (among other things) brought about the lowest unemployment rate in over 50 years including the lowest-ever recorded for black Americans and Hispanic Americans, respectively.
Was Trump "incompetent" for supplying New York state with all the facilities necessary to house elderly Covid patients, which the Democratic governor chose not to use? Is it Trump's fault that the Democratic governor sent elderly Covid patients into nursing homes instead of wide-open medical facilities Trump authorized the construction of? Was that Trump being "incompetent"?
We don't claim to be the greatest country in the world, the land of the free and the home of the brave, before electing a joke of a president who can barely spell.
Trump is anything but a joke. He isn't the most rhetorically adept individual, but the way that he manages and directs on policy issues is highly intelligent. Also, many of his tweets are framed very well; they are derided simply because people don't like the content of what he is saying. But everything that he posted about the Russia investigation, for example, was exactly on point.
Now with that out of the way, I'll keep it simple: I hope Hezbollah seize to exist. They're the biggest plague hampering this country, in addition to the political ruling class that's been ravaging Lebanon for 40 years..in large part as a result of your fucking country's fuck ups and awful foreign strategy which allowed Iran and its allies to increase their influence on the region. That strategy which started with the disastrous Republican George W. Bush and continued with everyone's favorite charismatic Democratic war criminal Barrack Obama.
If you knew anything about American foreign policy ideas, you would know that the one group that was consistently critical of both Bush and Obama for their Middle Eastern interventions were "far right Americans."
(as a quick aside re: genocidal ideology: how many Native Americans remain? Right. Moving on).
What a stupid fucking argument.....what in the world do the clashes that European settlers had with Indian tribes in the 17th and 18th century over territory have to do with secular democratic ideologues in the 20th century waging war on Japan or Iraq? Absolutely nothing. For you to lump the two together is completely stupid.
At any rate, most of the Native Americans died from disease and the North American continent was very sparsely populated before the Europeans arrived. That isn't to say they were treated wonderfully. But most countries and civilizations are established through conquest. The USA is not unique in that regard.
Speaking of which, as a quick aside, how many Christians remain in the Middle East? Right. Moving on.
The second biggest threat beyond Iran, is Israel. You know, your country's biggest ally. The same illegitimate state that you guys have been arming for years and have spend a near century massacring Palestinians and Lebanese. The same illegitimate state that Trump has been doing bis best to protect.
This paragraph right here perfectly encapsulates how clueless you are, on the most fundamental level, about the American political scene. Your remarks are also deeply, deeply ironic.....so let me give you a quick lesson. I have been charging Moxie $30 per for these. I am going to up your price to $50. But I will give you a first-time discount for edification.
First, the primary practical reason that the United States is tied to is Israel is that the American Jewish community is extremely wealthy/influential and wields immense influence on American government through AIPAC (the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee).
Second - and this is where your cluelessness really comes into focus - the media that you get your information from on the United States (CNN, New York Times, Washington Post) is overwhelmingly run and contributed to by left-wing Jews with an immense animus toward white Christian Gentiles (an animus that you share). It is no secret - albeit one that no one is supposed to say out loud - that Jews are disproportionately present in in media and journalism. Clearly, you aren't much of a fan of Jews, but you share with them a revulsion for white Christians, which is why you gobble up the CNN-NYT bullshit like it's nothing.
Third, for you to criticize Trump for supporting Israel is utterly laughable. Because of the realities that I described in points 1 and 2, it is virtually impossible for anyone to rise to the presidency of the United States by being as anti-Israel as you want them to be. The only way you can be a critic of Israel in the US and somewhat get away with it is if you are a black Muslim (like Ilhan Omar). Being a black Muslim bestows victim status, and because Jewish leftists view black Muslims as allies against evil white Christians, black Muslims are permitted (a little bit) to criticize Israel. Other than that, there is no way that someone can run on an anti-Israeli platform in the United States.
Now you might criticize Trump for being too pro-Israel, but he simply has to be in order to keep his only ally in the American power establishment on his side: the military. If he doesn't have the military with him, who else does he have? The bureaucracies and the media loathe him.
But for you to quote Hassan Diab, whom you know nothing about is hilarious. He was hand selected by Hezbollah to be the PM, and is one of their biggest allies. The only reason he's turned on them is they've scapegoated him for this since people are obviously angry and Hezbollah want to wash their hands away from this.
I never claimed to know much about Diab, except that he clearly messed up terribly by allowing the ammonium nitrate to sit in a stockpile so close to the city.
And by the way, one huge possibility is that an Israeli missile targeted this, and there is irrefutable proof of heavy Israeli aerial presence in the area seconds before and after the blast (we all heard them). Of course, Hezbollah can't acknowledge this because if this is true, they have to retaliate, which would lead to a full scale war that would surely spell their doom.
One person who would be sympathetic to your anti-Israeli interpretation would be Michael Scheuer, a "far-right American" who has been blackballed by all the major TV stations for criticizing Israel, despite having excellent qualifications. Maybe that will give you some idea of why Trump has to take a pro-Israel stand.
Again, just wanted to highlight how clueless you are, but also what a legitimately awful human being you are. The maliciousness of that post above really highlights what a fucking hypocrite you are. The same piece of garbage who (rightly) criticized Democrats for politicizing COVID-19 jumps at the immediate opportunity to push a non sequitur agenda about Democrats and the United States.
The cheap shots on the Democrats are more than richly deserved. And yes, I stand by comment that leading Democratic leaders are as stupid and as incompetent as Hassan Diab appears to have been in allowing that ammonium nitrate to sit right by the city.
A far right American in a nutshell.
Lmfao.....you ignorant fucking jackass, if you knew anything about the U.S. you would know that the one group that has consistently agreed with your perspective on American foreign policy are so-called "far right Americans." The two most prominent names are Pat Buchanan and Ron Paul. They opposed Bush's war in Iraq as well as Obama's interventions. They also criticize Israel. But instead of crediting them, you call them "far right Americans" as a nasty pejorative, you fucking dumbass.
And, btw, you have never credited Trump a single time for avoiding the interventions of Bush and Obama despite being pressured from many sides to intervene in Iran and especially Syria. Why can't you credit Trump for that? Oh wait, I know. Because you are a total bigot and full of too much hate to possibly credit Trump. And crediting him would also undermine your stupid characterization of Trump as "incompetent," which he most certainly is not.
PS: How many similar (to some extent) explosions has your country caused over the years? Literally thousands.
Yeah, and the most consistent critics of those interventions have been "far right conservatives" such as Pat Buchanan and Ron Paul that you smear as racist. And big bad Trump has not repeated the actions of either Bush or Obama that you condemn, yet you give him no credit for that.
That's not debatable. But hey, looting. killing and destroying is OK as long as it's on other people's turf. The home of the brave indeed.
Again, "far right conservatives" are the main group in America that has consistently condemned the Middle East foreign policy of the United States that you condemn. But you hardly even know who they are.
That said, if you want to talk about looting, killing, and destroying, that is what the scum in Antifa and Black Lives Matter did in Minneapolis and numerous other American cities in recent months. Yup, your ideological allies, who scream out the now meaningless term "racist" like it's nothing, just as you do. It wasn't "far right conservatives" who were responsible for that, just as it wasn't "far right conservatives" who were responsible for the Middle Eastern foreign policy that you object to.
As a final note, I will add this: when Trump was campaigning in 2016, we were told that he would usher in an age of "fascism" that would endanger people of color in the United States and that his supporters would feel emboldened to attack minorities. Needless to say, none of that has come to pass, and actually black and Hispanic unemployment levels reached all-time lows under Trump until the Democrats used Covid to tank the economy and hurt Trump. But recently in Minneapolis, there were numerous Mexican restaurants vandalized, an Indian restaurant burned to the ground, and African hair salon burned to the ground (among other damages). And who did this? Left-wing rioters and vandals (both black and white) in Antifa and Black Lives Matter who agree with you and Moxie and Tinfoil Federturd on social issues.
Yup, it wasn't Trump supporters attacking the businesses of non-white immigrant groups. It was left-wingers in Antifa and Black Lives Matter. The people who agree with you.
Those "far right conservatives" were peacefully minding their own business.
