    In case people aren’t clear, these soldiers are the operators of the additional THAAD system they are deploying to Israel. These aren’t infantry being sent to kick in doors alongside the IDF. THAAD is a ballistic missile defense system with no offensive capabilities. We already have a THAAD unit deployed to Israel.

    Don’t be mad because you expect to see headlines saying US Soldiers are killing civilians in Gaza. Be mad because this enhances Israel’s ability to continue escalating conflict with Iran and hiding behind US cover when Iran strikes back.

    as the Netanyahu government prepares to attack Iran—a move that’s expected to provoke an Iranian response.

    No shit.

      i wonder what the posts from .worlders are going to look after she loses.

      obviously they’re going to blame leftists for not voting for someone who actively refuses to adopt any the leftists platforms or ideals and i’m hoping that there will be some sort of introspection from liberals; but i suspect that the diet reddit of the lemmyverse is just going to reddit.

        What’s interesting is they won’t blame Republicans for passing laws that will help them rig elections and they won’t blame Biden for enabling Israel on its path to starting WW3. They only know how to blame the left for not being obedient.

      Its not Biden. Its Bibi. He will time the Iran attack at the best point in time to affect Kamala’s results just right.

      What makes you say that?

      Edit: holy shit the far right has really declared war on Lemmy, they’re everywhere and mods aren’t doing shit about it. 2 seconds of reviewing your account makes it clear you’re a troll, and quite possibly a government actor. This is insane

          We’re not allowed to call these ass holes trolls or bad faith actors because it might hurt their feelings. We just have to let them spread misinformation. The mods will tell you to report it, but they won’t actually do anything about it

          Some mod is apparently power tripping, most of my comments from yesterday got removed without an explanation. Not sure why I’m being downvoted, and I didn’t get an answer.

        And you’re getting lots of comments removed for calling every single person that disagrees with you, a “troll.” lol

        Lemmy’s not an echo chamber. Accept it.

        I don’t know what the fuck these other people are talking about. If you take more than a surface level look into their account it is so blatantly obvious they are at the very least a troll. Every time I have seen them they are trying to take votes from Kamala, which can only mean a vote for Trump

        I clicked on their profile to see what evoked this reaction from you and not only could you not be more wrong, but it makes me question your motivation for lying to try to silence others?

        Starting a massively unpopular war after a year of funding a massively unpopular genocide all to keep the modern day Hitler in power is a bad idea. More practically for the US voter, gas prices are going to sky rocket and the stock market will tank, since starting a war with a potentially nuclear armed petrostate tends to cause market instability.

        Also for your rant about “the far right,” that person is more left wing than you, lemmy is a communist site, Harris is a center right conservative aiding fascists – exactly like the person you might remember gave Hitler power to bridge the gap between centrists and conservatives against the left.
