bermuda ( @bermuda@beehaw.org ) English12•8 months agoComparing 400 to ~110,000 is certainly one of the choices of all time. Pretty much all killing is heinous imo, especially in this instance, but could we leave the atomic bomb comparisons for elsewhere?
SaintWacko ( @SaintWacko@midwest.social ) English3•8 months agoYeah, if we use that comparison now, what are we going to do when they actually use an atomic bomb?
NaN ( @Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org ) English14•8 months agoIt’ll sound something like “Blast rocks Gaza scattering radioactive debris for miles. Biden says ‘That wasn’t good, guys’ as US deploys an additional carrier to the region. And now, sports.”
NaN ( @Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org ) English11•8 months agoRegarding the final piece, the global south already knows US integrity is a joke. At least the leadership is giving younger citizens a more accurate view of what US foreign policy actually looks like, conveniently under a “liberal” president.
Uprise42 ( @Uprise42@artemis.camp ) 6•8 months agoPretty sure more liberals know Biden is far from liberal. He’s center at best but even he probably leans right on a global scale.
NaN ( @Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org ) English3•8 months agoHe is what passes for a liberal in the US. Obama, either Clinton, nearly any other democrat would do exactly the same thing he is doing (which is unfortunately the same thing Trump would be doing). Strong echoes of the Iraq war.
agitatedpotato ( @agitatedpotato@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 1•8 months agoObama said he thinks his own policies are in line with Reagan. Biden falls to the right of that on some issues, including to the right of Reagan on Israel.
