Yeah, i know that it's the same D.Trump that wanted to ban Tiktok in 2020.
Now, he also apparently played a major role in ending the israeli genocide(, « Which would mean that everyone who said a Trump win will make things worse for Gaza was objectively wrong, and that Biden-Harris were undeniably the greater evil. »).
Thoughts ?

Well, i'd like to say that jews(, and religious people,) aren't supposed to lie, but most of the israelis are only "cultural"(?) jews anyway...
It's the first time that our timeline is full with palestinians celebrating the end, i hope that they won't have been celebrating too early and that the Golan Heights will be enough for Israel.
As Caitlin Johnstone wrote, this is encouraging ?

But yeah, i agree : we'll see.

And then we have westerners who don't see the obvious differences with the Ukraine-Russia conflict :

  • Each time that Ukraine didn't have an anti-russian president they were coup'd with the support of the west, in 2004 and 2014 ;
  • We(sterners) invested a lot to 'drive them away from'/'use them against' Russia, including with the n.e.d., the u.s.a.i.d., etc. ;
  • Ukraine wrote in its constitution that they'll join n.a.t.o., and they were indeed helped more&more by the n.a.t.o. since 2014 ;
  • Crimea and the Donbass voted to join Russia since 1991(, like Transnistria) ;
  • etc.
    Since Crimea and the Donbass are russian, it is Ukraine that aimed to invade Russia since 2014.
    Well, just pointing out that when we'll stop looking at Israel we'll be back to pointing our eyes at Ukraine.
