that happens when you rape and murder people’s kids or when your leaders use human shields or operate solely in hospital or school basements

I wish 10/7 had never happened and a lot of people would still be alive

Oh, we’re already back to this. If you think the actions of Hamas excuse any amount of civilians killed by Israel, maybe stop crying about whether or not the numbers are being accurately reported.

Crying? LOL Im just pointing out where your information is coming from. Its like trusing China at their word except worse.

It certainly helps when your leaders use said civilians as human shields.

Defend away.

I’m not defending Hamas, I’m criticizing Israel. It’s not an either/or situation.
 
President Trump said in a post on social media on Monday that he would “substantially” increase the 25-percent tariffs he has imposed on India because it continues to buy and resell oil from Russia. Indian officials, who over the weekend said the flow of cheap Russian oil would continue despite pressure from Washington, called the targeting of New Delhi “unjustified and unreasonable.”

This is one tariff that I support.
 
It takes Netanyahu threatening to take control over the rest of Gaza to get other countries involved to try and help get the rest of the hostages (the ones that are still alive anyway) returned.

Just a ton of sideline sitting by the rest of the region
 
Good morning

During the 2024 presidential campaign, Donald Trump vowed he could stop Russia’s war on Ukraine with a single phone call. Instead, Matt Murphy and Ned Davies of the BBC report that Russian attacks on Ukraine have doubled since Trump took office. Today was the deadline the president had announced for Russian president Vladimir Putin to agree to a ceasefire in his illegal invasion of Ukraine or face further sanctions. Instead, Trump announced this afternoon that he intends to meet with Putin on August 15 in Alaska.

Putin generally cannot travel outside Russia because he has been indicted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes, including the theft of Ukrainian children. And yet Trump is welcoming him to the United States of America.

Shot in the dark, but neither Biden or
Harris would be welcoming the bomber of children's hospitals
to the US.
But what is the difference, defund children's hospital care or cut to the chase
just bomb them out of existence

You people that didn't vote in 2024 on "principle" will down the road have to answer
for your ambivalence

I know I am nitpicking but I hate to see invasions called illegal. They is no such thing as a legal or illegal invasion. If anything a legal invasion is one you win and and illegal invasion is one you lose. Because whoever wins decides what was legal.

I am old enough to remember Adolf Eichmann's capture arrest and execution
imposed by the same world court attached to the word " illegal "
Same with the Romanian strongman ( name escapes me ) post Soviet Union
