    The US has been attacked in the region? Interesting. Care to talk about what the US was doing there, thousands of miles away from its shore? Any conversation about that? Any analysis about that?

    Maybe if the US doesn't want to be attacked in a foreign country it should stay the fuck out of that country

    The us and it's allies have been doing literal, actual genocide in the region for the last decade, and apparently the cease fire or peace deal or whatever was just a little fib from dc

      Why do I keep getting attacked every time I break into other people's houses?!

    Us military bases getting attacked gets no attention because the USA does not want a massive regional conflict to break out. If the US wanted a big war, US bases been attacked would be all over CNN/FOX/BBC/MSNBC 24/7.

    Liberals have no understanding of how empire works and consent gets manufactured, it's actually maddening how willfully ignorant they are.

      They really just assume that when they are told about something in the news, it's the first time it has ever happened and no one else has ever thought about it before them. They really can't imagine that other people (especially people from a region of the world) would know more about it than them, even if they just learned about it 5 minutes ago. It's maddening trying to talk to smug libs about anything.

      Aw, and I just hopped on there to argue that genocide and imperialism is bad. These days I don't touch my reddit unless I see something from Dunktank here.

      Update: this was the post that got me to officially delete my reddit. The final straw was someone saying that Israel was protecting lgbtq Palestinians by...bombing them?

    These same assremoved would have said "they are a bit extreme when it comes to killing Jews, but you have to admit they had it coming for them with all their greed and stuff" in Nazi Germany

    "The US and allies have been attacked in the region 130 times" etc

    Sure wonder how many of those were the US getting attacked and how many were -- just to throw out an example -- Israel, but we're going to frame it like this to try to sneak around the notice of those people who see Israel getting attacked and rightly think the attacked might have a point.

    It's wild how the fucking Saudis are now doves on the subject of bombing Yemen compared to Genocide Joe
