Perhaps she should've thought about that when she was cheerleading the crowd of neocons who are perpetrating all of this.

Sadly, in a country steeped in individualistic "culture", divide and conquer is a particularly effective strategy.

Honestly, that's largely how the far-right has worked in this country, at least since I've been alive. Divide, divide, divide. Make "outsiders" and opposition feel isolated or better yet, make them the enemy responsible for anything and everything ailing the nation. Make up an ailment or few as well while they're at it, why not?

Divided we fall, and it's worked out quite well for those in power, so far.

I get "Setting yourself on fire will keep you warm for the rest of your life" vibes from this woman.

Is she prepping for a run for office or something?

A clock that keeps perfect time is never correct. This feels like an expression of the uncertainty principle.

Damn. I always hated her. But. Her rhetoric is 10/10. This is what made Trump president. She is starting to get dangerous.

She will run for president and she will win.

Our politicians are literally owned by Israel and she is very anti Israel so I doubt it

You're coming a looooong long way, MTG. Maybe it's time to study and read socialist theory, perhaps? https://redsails.org/

Class war you mean

And whose fault is that Marj? Why don't you go back to sucking the teet of big Nazi again, it's all your mouth is good for.

Probably worth noting that this is all going to lead to an astounding resurgence/intensification of anti-semitism, so if you're an anti-Zionist Jew... good luck.

She just brings to light what roles they all put on for their political agenda. They can all be bought or led in a different direction when it suites them. We'll probably never know her true opinions.

Each rocket could have made 1 American rich instead.

if you think that the us has no interest in the geopolitical situation in Iran you are mistaken. Even if Israel wouldn't exist there would be oil.

Also trump isn't interested in human rights and regime change in Iran, he wants somebody they can control.

Also trump doesn't call the shots obviously. The people hiding behind the orange are.

Oil is last century's energy source. China has shown the solar path forward. It's just that the US petro/auto-oligarchy cannot fathom any kind of transition.

Trump is not directly controlled by anyone. There's nobody behind the curtain. He's a narcissist being manipulated by Netanyahu (and Putin, and Orban and any other autocrat he looks up to), and who has surrounded himself with a court of amoral grifters with conflicting agendas. He does shit like this not because he has a plan but because it gives him a high, it makes him feel powerful and them he gets bored again.

Trump definitely raped kids Israel definitely has that footage.

[–] prenatal_confusion@feddit.org 2 points 4 weeks ago

I disagree with you about a group of people steering trump (as best they can). But hey, we will never know.

And yes, I agree that he has a personality disorder and does shit by himself but the grand scheme like taken the right steps to dismantle the democracy and checks and balances is above his competence level IMHO.

Regarding oil: it doesn't matter if the us haven't seen the light. It is still important to them now and will be for the foreseeable future. Right now there is a demand.
