*Immediately proceeds to give white phosphorus to Israel*

This reminds me of Trudeau and his 'extended humanitarian pause'. Western politicians having fun with words.

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 35 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

Other "fun" euphemisms from the West:

Enhanced Interrogation (torture)

Extraordinary Rendition (state kidnapping and illegal extradition)

Lethal Aid (Weapon exports)

No Fly Zone (Taking over enemy air space via force)

Boots on the Ground (Invasion)

Targeted/Precision Killings (Indiscriminate Bombing)

War on Terror (Eternal conflict used to divide and conquer, funding terrorists)

Overseas Contingency Operations (Miscellaneous Imperialist Adventures)

Collateral Damage (Innocent casualties we don't care about)

Surge (Do more of the thing we are already doing, sunk cost fallacy)

Shock and Awe (Mass destruction of civilian infrastructure and war terror)

Regime (Big bad government we don't like)

Moderate Rebels (Actual fascist jihadists)

also 'all options are on the table' for threatening to attack other countries

Regime (Big bad government we don't like)

Don't forget prison camps (prisons), secret police (intelligence agency), propaganda (most public statements), for the "governments we don't like" genre.

You know when a lib or neolib mentions the word "extended" it's extended shit.

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He looks like he's in the middle of an SNL skit.

Very happy he made this statement though. A little more pushing them left and soon they'll announce that they're very disappointed by Israel.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

He breaks the fourth wall.

"See? We put our foot down and told Israel no more war crimes after 11pm!"

I like how the meter doesn't go as low as "no concern" (honest) and even the highest rating doesn't imply actually doing something about it (also honest).

Turning a big dial on my ~~genocide~~ concern machine and constantly looking back for approv- oh, they want it to go higher??

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago

At the daily presser, Press Sec. George Fucko said it was a "meh" on the concern-o-meter.

They’re gonna form a fact-finding committee so hard for this

It's gonna be a wider regional war, and you all are laughing? You're just laughing?
