Israel must surrender at once in the face of this horror oooaaaaaaauhhh

This is a very funny concept Israel has made up. How many 9/11’s is it if two guys in Vatican city die from clonking their head together like the Three Stooges.

Also please watch the video to see an old man's brain dissolving like a wedding cake dumped in a septic tank: https://twitter.com/AFpost/status/1714673932832481353?t=C3bYosaq8m3A6FIPTLnc2w&s=19

How tf did he manage to have the worst possible centrist take on this?

[-] Tachanka@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

his brain is still stuck in war on terror era "appeal to the psycho evangelicals obsessed with the HOLY LAND" mode

It's fucked because it'd make sense if he was like a zoomer, millennial or gen x, we've known nothing but wars in the middle east.

But mother fucker was almost 50 when the Gulf war started. He doesn't have an excuse to be stuck in that mindset, he was raised and lived past middle age outside of it

I think that even before Biden's ~~brain~~ processing unit was scrambled eggs he didn't actually believe in anything. I would describe it less as a mindset and more as a "mode." To the extent that he pretends to believe in anything, it's to weaponize it for class interests. You can see this in those old clips where he remarks about "prostituting" himself to lobbyists in his 20s, or saying that "if Israel didn't exist we'd have to invent it" (the subtext being, to protect US imperial interests in the Levant). So when he appeals to those evangelicals obsessed with the holy land, it's less because he was ideologically captured by the spectacle of the gulf war, and more because he was part of the class of people who helped make it happen.

Even with Russia, it's less that he really believes Putin is building USSR2 (even though he said that at the beginning of the war) and more that he wants to secure a market for US liquid natural gas by using Ukraine as a bulwark against the potential development of a friendship between the Russian bourgeoisie and the western/middle European bourgeoisie. Because before that war started he admitted wanting to destroy Nordstream. So even in that scrambled brain of his, the class interests hiding behind the culture war posturing still sometimes leaps out.

"When the gulf war was started"?

Lol this is literally the man that got out in front of the entire congress immediately before the vote for Iraq 2.0 and talked about how fukkin easy and awesome it was gonna be!

FOR THREE HOURS

As a direct consequence of this, over the next decade a million Iraqi adults would join the at least 500,000 Iraqi children that had died from the horrific economic sanctions preventing medicine and formula from being imported after Iraq 1.0

We also set approximate ten trillion dollars in various gasoline soaked wheelbarrows on fire to achieve this lofty humanitarian goal

Do not cite the deep magicks to me, witch, for I was there when it was written.
