Watch as the US still doesn’t press Israel into a ceasefire. It’s becoming increasingly apparent that conflict in the Middle East isn’t an unfortunate circumstance but a goal of American foreign policy.
America? Wanting instability in an oil-rich region? That’s pretty much as optimally equidistant from the most major first-world economies as is possible?
No. Way.
America does want an unstable middle east but tbf the middle east is basically next to Europe, which really felt the past few refugee crises.
America also seem to want an unstable Europe recently
An unstable Europe buys American weapons.
And it easier to scare, control and exploit.
Well, the last time Europe was super unstable was WW2 where they burnt the whole thing down by themselves. That led to the US ascension. The USA would be super happy for another chance like that.
It’s incredible how every Islamic faction that’s involved has been way more cautious and careful for this entire conflict than Israel. I really admire their restraint! Israel is trying to escalate things left and right, but every other faction is trying to keep things from blowing up.
If Biden doesn’t jump on this then he wants Trump to win.
If the US wasn’t on my side, I’d choose my words carefully, as well.
Tell that to the Houthis and ‘Operation Prosperity Guardian’ 😂
‘Operation Prosperity Guardian’
They pick the most cringe ass names lol
At least it’s not a backronym.
Imagine Operation R.E.D.S.E.A. or some shit
Fuck, can we ban this? I normally hate passing laws that don’t really do anything, but it’s so hard to figure out what a program is from the name when every single government agency insists on shoving an acronym in the name.
R.E.D.S.E.A.
Regional Escort Duty for Safeguarded East African passage
Israel has nukes and is itching to use them.
Standing by and watching a genocide take place isn’t all that admirable in my opinion.
It looks like the Biden regime has already jumped on it. Apparently all it ever took was a phone call. The mass murderers have called off the genocide and are pulling out of Khan Younis.
Khan Younis
Kirby says that’s just to rest and refit. (But speculation is that they will be sent to the Rafah operation.)
Standing by and watching a genocide take place isn’t all that admirable in my opinion.
I mean the Houthis weren’t, but there’s only so much you can do when the US has two aircraft carriers and implications next to you.
US aren’t merely standing by and watching, they are enabling it actively.
I meant the other Arab states.

Yeah but getting involved means being bombed to hell by NATO, so governments are not keen on that. Even indirect involvement like the Yemeni blockade effected in this. In case of Iran it might even spark a world war.
The Yemenis can hold their heads high.
When Trump imposes fascism in the USA, think back on how Israel fucked us over.
Who I predict will be blamed:
- Russian bots
- TikTok
- Gen Z and/or Millenials
- The fediverse
- Hamas
- Our homeboy from Philly, Bibi Netanyahu
- Anyone but Biden, just as in 2020 it was anyone but Clinton
-Qanon
-4chan
-people who didn’t vote hard enough
The US is already a fascist regime and has been for longer than either of us have been alive.
Nonsense, it’s not fascism until the pointy end is facing me, otherwise it’s sparkling oppression.
Isreal be like:
Well that’s just threatening them with a good time.
Netanyahu doesn’t want a ceasefire and he does want Iran to attack and draw the US into the conflict.
And this is Iran trying to defuse that trap. They’ve explicitly told the US not to take the bait on it, and are offering an olive branch instead of insisting that the only option is blood for blood.
Of course the message won’t land, but imo they’re being pretty clear about it.
Checkers and chess. I hope a cloud hangs over the land for a thousand years
Edit: spelling
What happens after a thousand years?
It’ll be ten feet underwater, how am I supposed to know?
I think you’re right. I hope some of that message gets through to those Israeli people who actually do want a ceasefire.
The polling I’ve seen suggests the Israeli people are bloodthirsty as fuck.
1.8% said they believed the IDF was using too much fire power, while 4.2% said they weren’t sure whether it was using too much or too little firepower.
Support for peace negotiations with the Palestinian Authority among Israeli Jews fell from 47.6% in favor in September to just 24.5% in favor in the survey conducted between Oct. 23 and Oct. 28.
Note that the Palestinian Authority is the comprador gov’t of the west bank. These people don’t even want Israel to negotiate with their own puppets.
I mean to be fair this data is from October. Not expecting much, but the data is probably different now.
they ran the same poll in January and the results were basically the same
That survey was less than a month after it happened.
It wouldn’t have surprised me if it had been higher.
Netanyahu only wants one thing, and it’s to stay in power for as long as possible. If a regional war gives that to him (via Ben-Gvir), he won’t mind.
Pretty sure he needs conflict to stay in power and he needs power to shield him.
