The thing is that the Dems are in power right now. I don't have to criticise the AfD everytime the SPD or FDP say that the lives of refugees don't matter to them because everyone knows that they want the same thing but worse and they aren't in power yet.
Just because someone else is worse doesn't mean that you can't be criticised for your own actions.
The thing is that OP has a history of never caring about what Trump does/would do. Refuses to ever acknowledge it matters and it does matter.
Dems have the Whitehouse and the Senate, so they're not really "in power." That's 1.5 branches of government at most.
Trump allegedly interfered with a ceasefire deal for his own political gain. Sending supplies, or actively torpedoing a ceasefire deal? Which is higher on the old "this is fucked up" totem pole..? Why no condemnation? Loudly screeching about one and actively ignoring the other reeks of agenda.
Who do you think is choosing to veto these UN resolutions? The House? No these people are appointed by the Executive, which is controlled by Biden.
Blame correctly laid! Congrats! "The Dems control the govt" is patently false, however.
lmao. You don't think biden is doing the same thing? Dude could have imposed a cease fire at any point but it would upset his genocidal cult.
Biden can't "impose a ceasefire at any point" in a country he doesn't run. Do you need a puppet show to get that?
