    They did what?

    Also, the auto fill results when you type in “Israel bombs” are interesting.

    The American reaction in the second frame should’ve been: cool, here’s more weapons.

      Russia supports Iran while the US supports the paragons of Israel and Saudi Arabia. Kind of like the US was leaning Pakistan while Russia leans India. Now China finds more value with Pakistan than we do though (which will eventually make us do something stupid to “support our interests”).

        Yeah, I still don’t understand the Pakistan thing. Pakistan:

        • harbored Osama bin Laden
        • has pretty uninteresting economic output
        • has serious beef with their much larger neighbor India, and are somewhat friendly with Iran and China

        Whereas India:

        • has a ton of people
        • already has pretty extensive economic ties to the US, which could be strengthened, and is a ripe alternative to China for production
        • has tensions w/ China, so we have mutual enemies
        • is highly unlikely to harbor any of our enemies

        Yet we keep them at arm’s length.

        I could say the same for Israel and Saudi Arabia. Why are we so intent on picking the worst possible countries in a given region? The only explanation is that we want war…

          India is a contender for becoming a major power in a multipolar world, where the US is not the hegemon anymore.

          So it makes perfect sense to help Pakistan and stir the conflict so, India is slowed in its advances to become a major power.

      How is this making fun of the IDF? Seems to me the topic is the Biden administration’s arbitrary restrictions on Ukraine.

        to be clear, ukraine went ahead and did this anyway. And then the US lifted restrictions on this kind of stuff (idk if it was completely, but they did do it)

        It’s not really arbitrary, it’s just geopolitics being geopolitics, ukraine and the rest of europe showed that russia would bluff, and we’re supporting them more now.

        I guess it should make sense coming from a partially republican legislature that doesn’t even believe in the ukraine war to begin with.

          It’s about atacms strikes deep (+100km) inside russia, what according to you did they do “anyways”?

            they have sent other munitions from other sources fairly deep into russia, i believe the submarine dock attack was with a storm shadow missile, and at least one drone attack, the obvious one being the kremlin bombing, as well other other sourced materials they can find. They’ve been doing it whenever accessible and possible. Oh and obviously the recent offensive into russia itself.

            The obvious example is the ATACMs missile, but i believe that was post restriction.

            to be clear here, i’m not saying they broke the US restrictions, i’m saying they broke the “taboo” on firing into russian territory.

                sevastopol is in crimea right? Is crimea recognized broadly by the global nations to be ukrainian territory? Crimea is annexed by russia, there was a whole thing around this when it happened. I know ukraine contests this and wishes to get it back, but currently for most intents, and most purposes, crimea is a part of russia.

              Ya I’m with you there, they have broken so many taboos (or as the russians call it, red lines), tanks, western help, javelins, hitting oil depos, substations (but that was retaliation I guess), …

              What about a kremlin attack? I only know about a staged one with a drone from IDR like 2022?

          Thanks for responding.

          I was mostly just sarcastically joking.

          Assuming most of us had made the switch at some point. Etc etc etc

          In other news I hope you’re having a nice day!

    Is this a permission versus forgiveness example?

    Of course, now that Ukraine asked for permission and NATO (not just the US) said “no,” if they deliberately attack that’s extremely bad.

        it’s not a proxy war they’re just using American money and weapons and some American citizen soldiers

          And America is using that to exert their influence on that region in the world. Sure sounds like a proxy. Just because Israel has more power in American politics compared to Ukraine doesn’t mean they aren’t a proxy.

    Ask for forgiveness, not for permission.
