Oh, cool, yet another Country that is not in any way in the control of Joe Biden, whose actions you idiots can blame him for.

He is in control of the guns he sends them. If he doesn't want to be linked to civilian killings, all he needs to do is to stop sending guns.

Almost like for the last 6 months Biden has been showing the world that he's a fucking doormat when it comes to genocide.

trump and Biden both make our country a joke, just in different ways.

This is pretty interesting. Americans seem to be convinced that their president is the king of earth and they can, with a wave of their finger change anything. This is total bullshit

Presidential power inside the country is extremely limited by the constitution and they rarely have an opportunity to “just do what they said they were going to do”.

Outside our borders… it’s so fucking complicated that no one person really understands the global web of power and influence. At the bottom of the pyramid though, always force of arms. If America is willing to fight you, then you do what they say.

So… should we start a war in every place on earth that genocide is occurring? Really channel our inner dick Cheney and waste life and treasure in regime changes? Should we really cede all power in the Middle East to Iran so that we can stop our (fucking asshole of an) ally Israel from using those weapons on a highly immoral war? Should we start WWIII with china to save the Uighurs? How many African nations should we currently be bombing?

Which of those wars do you want to fight? Have you enlisted yet? What are you waiting for?

Uh... Biden can stop the mess in Israel with a phone call. Reagan did it.

Should we really cede all power in the Middle East to Iran so that we can stop our (fucking asshole of an) ally Israel from using those weapons on a highly immoral war?

I'm not sure why that's the dichotomy here, but literally yes. The US has no business staying in the middle east as long as it has. Also it's a genocide, not just "immoral war".

Mastengwe ,

It’s not Americans. It’s just the far left brats that in one breath suggest the president have less authority, and then in the next- assume he has the authority to end wars in foreign countries.

MotoAsh ,

No one is asking that you fucking ignorant. Learn to read. "Stop funding a genocide" is totally the same as "the US controls Israel and it's all Biden's fault." ... if you have a room temperature IQ.

Stop pretending people are saying what they are not. It makes you either stupid or a biased propagandist. So take your pick... Either start engaging with what people actually say, or forever be a pathetic fuck incapable of understanding nuance.

Mastengwe ,

Yes. People ARE asking that. Because you’re not seeing it, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. I see it a lot where people actually suggest that Biden can stop the genocide. More than I’d like to admit.

So how about you grow up and stop with the schoolyard insults and learn how to talk like an adult or this will be the last time I treat you like one.

Genocide stops the minute US stops sending weapons to Israel. And the US president has the power to stop them. There is literally nothing to debate here, it's a simple fact.

US typical please kill nicer, since you are making us look bad response.

Rapidcreek ,

Only if you believe a POS like the Intercept.

I don't need to believe The Intercept, that was literally US direct response to the genocide in Gaza. Here is a direct quote: Mr Blinken’s public comments that “we provided Israel advice that only the best of friends can offer on how to minimise civilian deaths” <...>

Rapidcreek ,

Because everything has to do with Gaza. I see

No, but it shows a pattern. There are plenty of sources in the linked article of the same happening in Nigeria, you just refuse to climb out of your utopia bubble and read those sources that are independent of The Intercept. It's easier to say the source is "POS" and continue living in denial.

Rapidcreek ,

Utopian bubble is good. Think I heard it back in the 60s. Goes to prove nothing is new.

Where was the Intercept when Sudan first happened? Where were they when Assad was shooting anti aircraft guns through people's houses? Where were they when Iran poisoned women for religion? No where to be found, because those headlines didn't sell.
