I can agree with that. Palestinians should get to decide whether they’re one state or more.

That’s part of the problem and why one recurring demand is for Palestine to have a single contiguous territory, instead of the bisection done by Israel.

Having us as one state - jamming Quebec, BC, Ontario, etc all together would be a recipe for disaster above and beyond all the other disasters involved. It would be like, I don’t know, merging New York and Georgia into one state. The FLQ alone would instantly revive and start up their bombing campaigns again.

The American elites are not above fostering a state of crisis and chaos. The BLM riots happened under Biden’s administration. Biden had deportation camps. Look at current day USA.

These “disasters” are not the deterrent you think it is.

And be real, they would never give us status as states. We’d be Puerto Rico North at best until the violence died down in a century of terrorism and genocide.

Being “real” would be admitting that the US empire is on the verge of collapses. I think decades of continuation is possible, but unlikely. Century? Impossible (at least, for the current statu quo).

The US plans some of their invasion/regime change over the course of years if not decades.

I honestly believe that Trump was briefed on some plans to annex Greenland, Canada and Panama, and the fucking buffoon let the cat out of the bag.

I have something like 57% certainty that democrats would eventually start denouncing “fentanyl labs” in Canada and create excuses for invasion.

edit: Worth noting, by the way, that’s it’s a consensus that Canada is more liberal than the US. Having Canada as a 51st state would essentially be handling the Dems a huge advantage for all elections going forward… Gee golly, I wonder whether they might actually root for Don a little bit, there.

Then it’s fine to fasten a noose around the natives’ neck and very gradually tighten it?

What else could you be indicating by posting about this in this context? It’s true that natives were nomadic people moving through the land, but how does that make it right for europeans to come in and claim land in a permanent fashion from across the globe?

ah yes, that time when america was a land without people, and americans were a people without land

I think that the fact that youths and families are leaving is a much worse demographic crisis than it might seem at first glance. It’s literally the future of the country that is leaving.

It’s definitely looking dire for Israel, just on a demographic level.

I’m not sure I understand what you are implying by if progress is made. Progress on what, exactly?

It’s my understanding that it is occurring naturally on its own, anyways?

A few reporting I’ve heard on Israel describes a state filled with dual-citizenship inhabitants that are used to first-world standard and would rather leave the country than deal with inconveniences. I oversimplify here, but who really wants to live in a genocidal state? Whether you’re on board or not with the genocide, it’s still a massive point of friction with neighbors.

But Israel is not expanding into Iran or bombing civilian areas (yet)

Israel literally bombed apartment complex with scientists as part of their unprovoked attacks.

Best outcome here is the fall of Iranian islamic regime

A change of regime in Iran is the wet dream of Netanyahu. Just this should tell you how bad of a thing it is.

and people can take back their freedom

You need to read a bit on Libya and Syria, the gracious interventions by the west did NOT result in a blossoming LGTPDASODNA+ democracy haven.

Then explain your point better because you aren’t making sense.

“there’s basically nothing to fix” => “I didn’t say no problems with immigration.”

You take a moment to look at some unbiased vlogging on the US/Mexico border and tell me it was problem-free.

Otherwise you can read about the hotels being turned into expensive migrant refuges, which I’ve seen reported about across the country. The government was paying for that, for non-citizens, during an ongoing homelessness crisis.

Look at all the cheap slave-labor that vanished into thin air the moment Trump started deporting people.

You guys absolutely had a problem with immigration. And not only did the democrats not offer any actual solution, the problem got worse under their watch. This is a prime example of democrats having useless identity politics where they address problems by brow-beating people and calling them racist, rather than doing anything for their citizens.

25 years ago? The guy was wanted as a terrorist with a $10m bounty in 2017, the fuck you mean “25 years ago”. The bounty was rescinded because he overthrew a government seen as hostile by Israel and the US.

Are you just ignoring the article I linked describing mass killings of Alawite? Are you trying to defend those guys?

I don’t really feel like rehashing all the ways that the Iraq/Afghanistan war were disastrous

training Syrian troops (who eventually did win) as a result of the Arab Spring and Assad gassing his own people which Obama did not start

You need to read about Timber Sycamore. Assad did a lot of bad things, but it’s mental to imply that it was worth investing in Al-Qaeda affiliated militias to overthrow him. The new leader in Syria had a $10* million bounty on his head before rising to power in Syria, he is a leader of a splinter group of Al-Qaeda.

The Assad overthrow is not the pure-wholesome western win that you think it is. Sectarian minorities have been ethnically cleansed by these Syrian rebels now in power.

If you think that this is a success story from Obama’s admin, I’m afraid there’s no point discussing any longer.

I might have misspoke: it would be more accurate to state that he got the US involved in wars, rather than starting them. More specifically, he’s criticized for getting the US in five wars and saber rattling with Iran.

A year ago, it looked like he might end two of the longest wars in U.S. history by the time he left office. As of today, President Obama has involved the United States in five evolving conflicts, and there is little prospect any of them will be over by the time the next president is inaugurated, unless the United States chooses to disengage and lose.

I would say Obama is even worse than Biden as a role model to glorify.

You can draw a direct line between Obama’s fellating of wall street and the rise to power of MAGA. He was elected on a mandate to punish the bankers and utterly failed at this task, he failed to enshrine Roe Vs Wade, and started a few wars. Combine this with other events like the management of Bernie Sanders’ first attempt at the presidency, and you have a spectacularly inept democrat party that lost all credibility/appeal with swing voters.

Taking the current politics at face value, Trump would have 0 appeal if the democrats had a reasonable management of the border, if the democrats had actual economic politics instead of identity politics and didn’t bend the knee to the military industrial complex as much as republicans did.

Unfathomably based.

Everyone should be outraged that Biden got to live old enough to be a dementia stricken cancer patient. The man is scum of the earth.

Even democrats who support him should be mad: a prostate cancer is TRIVIALLY easy to detect, they must’ve known about this for years. And yet, they lied to their base to push that Joe Biden should run for presidency again.

I would go as far as saying that we should group these two together in the “bad person” part of any meme

Reagan might be the root cause for most if not all of the woes of the American political landscape. What I wouldn’t do to be able to deface his grave

I think that - on a global scale - a fair amount of people has cause to be grateful to Trump. Whether it’s intended or not, he’s tearing down the current geopolitical statu quo and waking up people politically.

On the flipside, I do worry that we narrowly avoided the fire in order to stay in the pan, to subvert the old saying. Over in Canada, we reelected a party that has a lot of flaws, and that their defining benefit is “isn’t the conservative right”. I’m glad we avoided a conservative sweep, but let’s not pretend the shady opposition is significantly better.

Bro it’s a bipartisan issue, I ain’t maga for calling out AIPAC. Trump is ALSO owned by Israel.
