Well Pakistan will give them one if needed so they kind of already have one. Maybe stop pushing them to use it on Israel.

Weird how the US has only 45 approval 53% disapproval of Israel by the population but the politicians who "represent" us always vote nearly unanimously to do anything Israel wants. I thought the US was a democracy.

They've really honed in on steering and manufacturing public opinion too, over time.

From what I can see you're a mod of a different community, not this one. This isnt "US news" where you are a mod, right? You are also not an admin for all of beehaw. So I dont see how you can claim the authority of being a mod in this exchange. I won't be coming to US news on beehaw where you actually are a mod.

So it seems to me that you and I are just two people talking.

Choose to escalate or dont. But after that how about you leave me alone and keep your supposed well meaning advice to yourself? Your supposed mod-edness and your opinion of Blinken dont interest me and you're just bullying.

OK, well you know the drill Pete, report it, get a mod to study our exchange, and get it handled. I'm ready to be judged.

Not an ad hom. Delivery and style of messaging is fair game in debates is it not, as long as I dont go after your character. As is questioning who you are quoting. If I opened a post quoting a different war criminal, say Hitler, Stalin, or Pol Pot, I'd expect someone would call that out, and I wouldnt cry "Ad hom! ad hom!, help! I'm being oppressed!"

And it came up in my feed. What can you do. There are no rules on "necro"ing are there? If there are please let me know, I will follow official rules.

I think you're just sore that I think quoting Blinken is .. problematic to put it mildly. Take my feedback or leave it, its all the same to me buddy.

I will say I think your trying to flex rules on me and claim an adhom is not very impressive. You can do better than that cant you? Why not try to defend your actual point instead?

Starting the post with 'Blinken said this' or 'Blinken said that' is not exactly a great way to start because Blinken belongs in the Hague in chains for abetting crimes against humanity.

Any other war criminals you'd like to quote in your intro OP?

Type 1 diabetics dont make any insulin at all. So as soon as you cut off their supply they start dying. 4 days should see them all gone. (I am type 1 myself)

Well that would weed all the diabetics out of the American gene pool in just a few days. I'm not sure diabetics are the real problem though.

Needs an utterly useless amazon alexa: "by the way, did you know I can add items to your shopping list" announcement at the end, for every interaction, all day every day, forever.

ok but I'm in my mid 50s.

I'd pay extra to not have to deal with the TSA as well.
