I don’t think the invasion of Iraq can be blamed on the NYT. I think the Bush administration and Al Qaeda get the credit for that one.
However much is necessary to arrive at the truth.
Hello.
I don’t think the invasion of Iraq can be blamed on the NYT. I think the Bush administration and Al Qaeda get the credit for that one.
However much is necessary to arrive at the truth.
Nobody and no system should be expected to be perfect all the time, I would anticipate some mistakes over a course of decades.
Have you checked for any times they were critical of US foreign policy within the same timeframe?
“Consistently” and “in-these-specific-cases” are different things.

j/k
Why do articles keep pointing the blame “at democrats” like we in the party have some kind of magical control over this?
We can only vote for the motherfuckers that run. If you run, we can vote for you. If you don’t run, we can’t vote for you. So, who are we supposed to pick?
Dean Philips, the guy that talks about appeasing republicans? No. Just, fuck no.
You, you on the other side of the screen, you should run for office. Then we might have more options.
Lemmy features modlogs, so you can just go check. It’s in the sidebar. Instances also have modlogs, so if admins did it, you can check that too.
Bullshit.
Israel is a nuclear-armed nation, it is as immune to large-scale ground invasion as N Korea or Pakistan. They do not need our thousand pound bombs, nor our military alliance. This just isn’t the 80s anymore.
Similarly, Reagan wasn’t facing a criminal trying to take down his own justice system, relying fully on being propped up by ethno-nationalists that want Palestine, all of it, exterminated, just to maintain his own position.
We could probably stop them, if we threatened them with severe economic sanctions. Cutting off the weapons would simply make Netanyahu use even more indiscriminate tactics though, like starving them all, or firebombing the whole place. He can’t accept a permanent cease fire though, because one would cost him, him personally, everything he has left.
That’s the problem with strongmen. They don’t actually give a fuck about people, just themselves. And they’d rather be an evil tyrant than a loser.
Probably can’t fix that with a phone call, don’t you think?
Funny the kind of folks that get suspended on Elon’s twitter.
tbf, if you approach soldiers in an active combat zone while carrying a gun, they are legally allowed to shoot you. The weapon marks you as a combatant.
Assuming those officers are following their training, we need to change officer training. That behavior is more military than police.
Right. Just like God.
I think the important thing is to remember how important it always is to fight for them, at any rate.
Right. Because rights are created by God, right?
That Banksy quote really is just utterly and thoroughly fantastic.
Sounds like a fantastic option for folks that don’t like any mandatorily enforced censorship.
They should all go there.
Not good enough for a court, they have to examine more than merely the defendants words.
It’s not good enough to simply say you’re a conscientious objector, otherwise everyone and their brother would do it and conscription as a concept would fail.
So, if you are one, you gotta fucking prove that shit somehow. Words aren’t good enough. Go protest, join an org, donate to charities, whatever. Need some evidence though.
It’s not complicated to understand.
If you’re not doing anything illegal then I highly recommend keeping your hands out in the open where they can see both of them, and politely answering their questions.
They have a gun, so its not about right/wrong, it’s about your own safety. You don’t know if that’s a decent one or a shitty one.
If you don’t want to parent your own son, there is someone out there willing to do it for you. They will not do a good job.
I think Germany and Japan are going to have to re-militarize and conquer everyone back into a civil democracy.
Bush didn’t care. Dude was an asshole. He tried to drum up support with our allies, and when most of them said no, he just did it anyway.
That said, it was a mistake to warmonger, don’t get me wrong.
