How’s about we agree that killing innocent civilians is a war crime, no matter who’s doing the killing, and the civilized world should unite in bringing those criminals to justice sooner rather than later?
It’s amazing how money encourages allegiance. Just look at the GOP’s unwavering support for anything that furthers Putin’s aims. Their response to Putin’s invasion of Ukraine isn’t that dissimilar to Modi’s. In fact, the GOP’s actions have been to undermine the Ukraine and HELP Putin in his unlawful invasion.
Of course, if Putin were Muslim, the GOP would be loaded with vigor (and money) to destroy him. But then the GOP is full of racist xenophobes and hate anything not-white and not-Christian.
‘Walking national security risk’ Trump bashed for creating Middle East intel havocAccording to a Democrat who sits on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Donald Trump’s comments about the war between Israel and Hamas has the potential to disrupt the sharing of information with Middle East allies which, in turn, is making the world a more dangerous place.
In a column for MSNBC, Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) stated the former president’s off-the-cuff remarks earlier in the week where he criticized Israel’s leadership after the devastating attack by Hamas has officials in the country worried he could be re-elected in 2024 and is making them leery about sharing information going forward.
As the Illinois Democrat wrote, Trump’s “incoherent” remarks — reportedly based upon perceived grievances with Benjamin Netanyahu — demonstrate that he “is a fickle friend, a terrible ally and a walking national security risk.”POLL: Should Trump be allowed to run for office?
As he noted, “The consequences of Trump’s remarks can be far-reaching in this fraught moment. As the United States rallies leaders to defend Israel, Trump is a warning to those same leaders that in just one year, the United States may turn on a dime and abandon its allies.”
“Trump’s mercurial nature and his focus on personal grievance will leave leaders hedging their bets before going all in on any deals or agreements with the United States,” he warned before adding, “Few Americans recognize the ugly version of this country that Trump presents to the world. Trump’s America is callous in the face of shared hardship and willing to praise our enemies while hanging our allies out to dry.”
Yup, sounds good in theory. However, first define “innocent” and “civilian”. Oh, and then there’s that problematic thing about “the civilized world”. Wait… There’s also that business of “bringing those criminals to justice”. How? Where? Who’s the judge? But if we can get past all that, yeah… Sounds good

I guess those unaligned countries being far removed from the “first world”, both geographically and economically, want to remain above the fray.

Maga favors Putin. Putin helps Iran and hates Israel.

Hamas is perfectly happy to sacrifice innocent Israelis to further their extremist terrorism.

The cartoon has nothing to do with Hamas or Israel so why all the comments?

One thing for sure, the USA needs a functional government, and that isn’t going to happen with the current state of the Republican Party.
Vote Democratic up and down the ticket.
