and another that forces Tiktok’s parent company to sell it.
Capitalists never play fair, lol.
Can't wait to see some stupid western company take the place of tiktok then all the retards complaining about tiktok suddenly shutting up.
They don't realize there's a trade war going on and they're just useful idiots in it.
I wonder if Orange Julius Caesar will be getting an aggrieved call from Pootin....
"Can't" afford universal healthcare, and "can't" afford student debt relief, but we sure can magic up money for killing!
Yes, because killing Russian military saves lives. Russia is shelling cities in Ukraine, killing civilians. Your problems are valid, but are nothing compared to getting killed in your sleep by a Russian rocket
The US government spends more per capita in healthcare than any country with universal healthcare and then a big chunk of the population also pays for private health insurance over that.
It's not about not being able to afford it, it would even be cheaper.
That's why I put can't in quotes. We obviously can (because, as you pointed out, we already do) but there's a minority of Americans wielding outsized amounts of power keeping it from happening.
That's just the efficiency of the free market. It's certainly efficient at something, just not delivering quality health care or keeping costs down.
TBF, funding towards anti-air systems like shooting down drones is kind of the opposite of killing. But yeah, Fuck Israel.
Fuck russia, fuck israel.
And fuck the house.
And my axe!
No! Wait! (Lengthy pause)
Use the axe to fuck the house, Israel AND the Orcs! Much better plan.
In the middle of the street.
"Fuck the House" would be a good name for a casino heist movie if movies could have 'fuck' in the title.
Movies can have a little bit of fuck in the title, as a treat.
Mum: We have fuck at home
Home: Heck
Poor Israel can barely afford to murder children anymore.
Why does Israel need aid? To help them invade someone more?
The realpolitik answer is that they’re the only country in the region with highly functioning western-style market economy. That is valuable to other functioning western style market economies. Its a system trying to help itself propagate.
That doesn't make any sense, considering support for Israel was the main cause behind the 9/11 attacks.
Seems like support for Israel is good for one nation: Israel.
I guess shells are in high demand, currently. I don't expect much but I hope the Senate votes it down or removes the majority of the Israel aid package. Currently it's about 12 Billion USD worth of various support in addition to 14 Billion "Unconditional Military Support" while dealing with Iran.
If I had to rationalize it, I expect they simply want to give the bare minimum to avoid requiring sending soldiers to invade Iran directly. In my opinion, we'd be justified to "invade" Israel and oust the Netanyahu administration, solving the entire problem a lot cheaper.
If I had to rationalize it, I expect they simply want to give the bare minimum to avoid requiring sending soldiers to invade Iran directly.
Nah, the bare minimum to avoid sending soldiers to Iran is whatever it costs to send Israel a message saying "Lol, get fucked."
Israel has made their bed, let them lie in it now. I really don't see the US being able to sell an invasion of Iran at this point.
They need the moneys to genocide harder, better, faster, stronger.
Wowowow, keep Daft Punk out of this
But how can we when the Israeli apartheid regime is trying to take their shitshow around the world around the WORld?
