Israel is a client regime of the US empire

The US funds its military. The US protects it in the UN Security Council

Netanyahu has had US citizenship twice, and spent his most formative years in the US. While Iran counter-attacked Israel, he hid in the bunker of a US billionaire

The US spent a billion dollars last night to defend a country openly commiting genocide, but I'm the asshole for wanting universal healthcare?

Fuck you Democrats

“Biden told Netanyahu the joint defensive efforts by Israel, the U.S. and other countries in the region led to the failure of the Iranian attack, according to the White House official.”

The fact that Israel needs the air defense protection ahead of time from like 5 countries to…

ΛЦƧƬΣЯIƬY IƧ MЦЯDΣЯ 'Normally, central banks combat these pressures by raising interest rates, which dampens aggregate demand in the economy.'

Fighting inflation by making it so poor people can't afford things is one of the dumbest and most regressive ideas in legacy macroeconomics.

If a foreign country had bombed an American embassy or consulate somewhere, what do you think the US would do in return?

What do you think it should do?

Probably more than purposely sending some slow, old drones and missiles in a way that you know can and will be intercepted.

Israel attacked Iran's embassy in Syria on April 1, in an act of war. Iran had a legal right to respond in self-defense, according to article 51 of the UN Charter, which is exactly what it did.

Israel and its US gov't sponsors are guilty of starting this war.

As an Independent, I do not support Republicans or Democrats. But I support telling the truth:

⬛️ More Covid deaths under Biden than Trump.

⬛️ More oil drilling under Biden than Trump.

⬛️ More military spending under Biden than Trump.

⬛️ MORE WARS UNDER BIDEN THAN TRUMP.

3 things to understand about Iran's retaliatory strike on Israel 🧵

Not being judgmental, but there's a basic naivete required to believe the propaganda our system feeds us.

For example, the showdown with Iran that Bibi/Biden provoked to distract from their genocide. Israel gets to play victim, while Biden gets his Situation Room photo ops.

This is the exact experience that I and many other foreigners I met have had in China. The quality of life in the US is significantly worse.

If you are rich, you can live very well in the US. But the average person lives much worse -- and, unlike in China, the US government does…

Like Tom Malinowski said, the machine exists not to win hard elections but decide who’s allowed to win easy ones, which is downstream from Congress (and other offices) becoming resume lines for a lucrative lobbying or nonprofit exec career, rather than actually doing anything.
