Just FYI every single goddamn person that tried to get Biden to step in and have a spine before this was trying to prevent this kind of escalation. Spending energy shouting them down literally may have helped start WWIII- good job.
There is one thing I don't understand. US lives by the war. For the best part of it's existence, especially since Cold War their main profit came from bullying smaller countries. But it's not financially or military heathy enough to hold Russia and China. So why? Why now?
We needed to go along with UN censure and stop providing weapons five months ago. What Biden did here is unforgivable and yet I am forced to vote for him.
Feel free to screenshot this for my greatest Biden attacks but it’s fucking true- if he had even just used his bully pulpit earlier this could have been avoided.
That the World Central Kitchen murder took place the same day as the consulate airstrike really shows that by the time Biden decided enough was enough, it was already way too late to do anything.
I think people in the general public are probably over-estimating what can or could have been done, and under-estimating what has been actually happening behind the scenes.
I'm hoping it doesn't turn into real world war 3 but every capitalist in the US seems so blood thirsty at this point, how many millions of us must die to increase profit margins...
