they are arms dealers
Democrats object to Trump not committing his war crimes through the proper channels. Sorry Democrats, there is no proper-channel way to mass murder children.
If our government confuses you, you may be misunderstanding their goals. They're arms dealers. More than half of Congress is personally invested in arms trading. The U.S. economy is propped up on war profiteering, regardless who's in power. Ongoing chaos and civil wars, in Iran, or anywhere, are more profitable than peace or safety.
A country with no nuclear weapons, who signed the nonproliferation treaty and submitted to UN inspections, attacked by a country with nuclear weapons, who refuses to sign the nonproliferation treaty, and refuses inspections, supported by both U.S. parties and corporate media. Message to the world? Get nuclear weapons or we attack.
Today’s politicians aren't like Eisenhower or Kennedy. Ours don't prioritize being liked, trusted, or admired. Not inspiring voters. Not winning elections. The priority is to confuse, overwhelm, and fatigue Americans so we can't form a coherent narrative about their actions. They're also paid to be the fall guys for the corporate world.
The percentage of Americans who actually believe what a Dem or Republican says has never been lower. Both parties are fully aware their support has collapsed. They're desperately arming themselves against dissent, and scrambling recklessly to make as much money as possible before the collapse is total.
War with Iran should be enough to discourage anyone still supporting the funding and arming of whatever deranged crimes stray into the fevered minds of the Israeli government and military. But alas, there's simply no reasoning with imperialists.
Once a Dem or Republican has convinced themself that mass murdering children is OK, as long as their country or party maintains dominance, then shame, dignity and logic no longer play a role. Just a twisted version of team spirit combined with the tremendous ability of the human mind for delusion, rationalization and denial.
Sudden economic crashes, runaway gas prices, environmental devastation, emergency suspension of civil liberties, emergency police measures, emergency surveillance, emergency government secrecy, emergency diversion of domestic funds to the military, and emergency bailouts for billionaires -- They're all expected in a Middle East war. Under either party such policies usually become permanent.
War is a gold mine for corporate news, fossil fuel, AI, police crackdowns, arms dealers, and U.S. politicians whose campaigns are funded by arms dealers. The Iran operation has already wasted years' worth of Pentagon budgets. But Dems and Republicans know they can just increase the Pentagon budget once again. They know the people who will pay the price will be the taxpayer, the soldier, and those being bombed and shot.
Our near-total delegitimatization and disregard of international laws, frameworks, and institutions has been achieved gradually and methodically by many successive U.S. governments, and by both liberal and conservative corporate media. It reached a new peak when Biden declared himself OK to commit the supreme international crime of genocide. Trump has been running with that.
Since the DNC removed opposition to selective service from the party platform, it's more likely that your kids will be drafted into WW3 to kill Iranian or Chinese people for the sake of billionaire profits and apartheid.
Corporate media isn't in the business of learning lessons from Iraq. It's in the business of propagandizing things that bring short term financial gain to corporations. Including war crimes, mass murder, and global instability. And now most U.S. corporate media is owned by one person, someone explicitly dedicated to the liquidation of Palestinians.
Israel wants to conquer Iran, Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Yemen. They feel the U.S. taxpayer owes them the money to carry it out. Dem politicians can't be counted on to oppose it. 2/3 are on AIPAC's payroll. The fact that Dem voter support for bombing Iran is at 7% is irrelevant.
To call Gavin Newsom a front-runner at this point is absurd. It suggests that somehow in a country of 350 million people, we can't find a single Democratic politician who shares the opinions of the average Democratic voter.
Why's it wrong to say globalize the intifada against genocide and apartheid, but it's OK, even mandatory, to globalize the genocide, and globalize the apartheid?
Why does international law get invoked not based on the frequency or severity of the crime, but on the skin tone or political party of the one committing the crime?
Our children will have better lives if we elect politicians who don't take money from AIPAC, fossil fuels, AI, or weapons manufacturers. If Dems and AIPAC continue crushing such candidates, we should take a cue from UK voters and turn en masse to the Green Party.
