Published date: 5 February 2025 02:09 GMT"On Tuesday, at a stunning joint press conference alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump announced the US will be taking over and running Gaza, potentially for the foreseeable future.
“Everybody I’ve spoken to loves the idea of the United States owning that piece of land, developing and creating thousands of jobs with something that will be magnificent,” Trump told reporters after a three-hour meeting with Netanyahu. "
“Only the US could bring great stability to that region” bro you’re literally 90% of the fucking problem in the Middle-East.
Also damn, I hope the people who abstained from voting based on the Democrats’ [shitty and weak] stance on the situation are happy now.
Whoa whoa whoa. As a proud English man, I can’t sit idly by and let you lay all the blame on the US! England is the reason for at least 80% of the problems, with the US only really coming along after we’d set the ticking time bomb
Get the fuck out with your American exceptionalism!
If you really think about it it’s the Romans’ fault for losing to Germanic tribes and not wiping them out.
Sure glad america got rid of genicide joe,…
Has he tried bleach?
Where are all of the people that were complaining about Kamala and saying they didn’t vote or voted for trump because of gaza believing trump was going to be the better solution?
The vanity of not choosing a lesser evil.
All the clutched straws of misapplied “false dichotomy”, “showing the democrats that they must change”, etc are just intellectual dishonesty. It’s actively and knowingly choosing a greater evil by not flipping the lever in a real life trolley problem.
Some people don’t seem to understand, even in a situation where there are two evils, choosing the lesser evil is always beneficial. Politics is not just something you can boycott and cover your eyes from. It governs your life, so you have all to gain from participating in it and educating yourself about it, no matter which side you ultimately lie upon.
Exactly.
It was an opportunity to pick who would be in power for them to fight for improvement.
If they effectively meant what they claim, they’d push with heart and soul to get the lesser evil in poer and then immediately fight them tooth and nail for positive change.
“We need to fight for change. I prefer my opponent to devolve into oppressive fascism first, please.”
In Australia, we even just had Pauline Hanson say this is a bad idea.
For context, she is a white non-Muslim politician who once wore a burqa into parliament to make a point. Even she is against Trump on this one.
That’s because she’s just a fuckin ignorant moron. Not a fascist. Not yet, at least. Give her another few months of consuming the fascist propaganda machine.
Yeah, totally agree with you there.
Do think the Coalition are still going to go with the “Dutton will have the exact attitude of Trump” campaign?
