Why do you think the US economy is doing so good? Arms sales for two wars.
Thats perhaps why ONE small part of the US economy is succeeding. There's A LOT more to the economy than arms.
If Biden stops arms shipments it's over tomorrow.
Trump, kys.
I don't mind helping
That means kill them all
He spent a bunch of time yelling “America first” to his base and telling them that we can’t support, Afghanistan, Ukraine, etc because we need to spend that money at home. And now they’re onboard.
As much as he’d love to paint the democrats increasing pressure on Bibi as “supporting terrorism,” his base prefers the idea of spending that money at home.
his base prefers the idea of spending that money at home.
They clearly don't... otherwise they wouldn't be voting for the person who wants to spend it all on himself.
The like the idea of it. They’re not actually going to get that though.
Yup, Republicans are stuck in a conundrum: they've successfully sold fiscal responsibility and inward focus to their base, but that same base has been sold this idea that there's a chosen people who are entitled to the holy land. Well now they have to choose. I hope they choose the former.
I think there's a good chunk of Republicans who still support Israel at all cost, but I think the realization of what's happening over there is eating away at that steadily. I think America's support for Israel is slowly coming to an end.
Chosen people, are you frickin kidding me? Do you know how much land the Arabs have (Palestinians are mostly Arab)? Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia. The Jews ask for one little plot of land and suddenly everybody starts crying genocide. What the hell happened to all the native Berbers in northern Africa?! All because some random guy claimed they were the illegitimate descendents of Abraham ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
"The Arabs" are as much one people as "the Europeans", let's just give Italy to the Roma people and demand that Norway take them all in.
The Jews didn't ask. Look, I understand acknowledging conquest and the reality of the world, but to pretend that the conquerors are the good guys while it's happening... Don't be naive. See it for what it is.
Well he's right about global support.
What he means is, "I don't want to have to deal with this once I'm President again," and what he does not mean, in any way, is "I give a shit about the situation in Gaza."
As proven by his promises to ban gazans from USA

Sounds like he wants Israel to finally solve the Gaza "problem."
A “final solution” if you will.
I read "finish up" as in "kill them all" not "stop".
Technically that would be "stopping."
Technically not if we're getting into semantics. The English language is always interesting to investigate, and trump is very good at dog whistling using this language.
"finish up" implies to take action quickly to finish the initial goals, such as to attack even stronger and faster to take territory in a short amount of time.
Example: "Finish up your dinner and you can have dessert."
"stop" implies to end immediately with no further action, such as a withdrawal or immediate cease fire.
Example: "Stop the car, I want to get out!"
Not a single time has trump said "stop" the violence in Gaza, not once.
Fading? Global support is about as visible as God during the holocaust.
Whereas I urge Trump's cholesterol to "finish up'.
Trump is that fat guy that lost, right?
Don’t forget, he’s also broke!
