Drill Baby Drill...the US Politics Thread (Part 2)

Criticizing Israel makes you a genocidal Nazi, also ignore these guys literally sieg heiling over here. You know… those guys supported by a party whose position never changed, yet the left has gone too far because they want affordable healthcare.

It might though. Eldbridge Colby is pushing for Trump to cancel the Submarine sale to Australia, because Colby is of the opinion that it would be absurd to proliferate SNN tech to AUS. Which would be bigger than seen at face value, since that entire deal was actually a deal with France, but then US and AUS went behind France’s back and US agreed to sell SNNs.
The thinking of the US, at the time, was that AUS SNN could help with China and US famously fucked over France.

Given how complicated the history is, it would be pretty shit for Australia to have the deal canceled, particularly after they themselves fucked over the original supplier and dealer, France (who is serious about nuclear proliferation unlike some).

But Eldbridge has never seen a US relationship that he can’t put to the stress test.

That’s not possible, you fool. “Wipe them out”. You sound like an inferior Palpatine meme. Read a bit up on the Yemeni war and welcome to geopolitics, Ansar Allah and the West’s futile response to…Ansar Allah provocations.
It’s only possible to stop them if you invade. That is a fact.

Real Talk: The US attack was counter productive and stupid. The US knows this too, but Trump needed the apperance of bullying someone weaker for the grift of it. This has been done a countless time before, but this time, US actually used extremely epensive missiles doing so. So wipe them out indeed.The Houthies literally want to be attacked by the US.

Pipe down eh?

You’re not some persecuted misunderstood martyr bringing salvation and truth to the unenlightened masses.

You’re just a brainwashed idiot spewing random diarrhoea all over the forums, who has been repeatedly told by so many people on the forums to shut up because it’s annoying bullshit with a tenuous relationship to facts and reality.

But if you feel so misunderstood on here, and think everyone on here is “extremist far left” you’re welcome to vote with your feet and leave.

Of course it hurts a bit, but hurts less than much else. As most people knows, I am far from a fan of either Serbia or authoritarianism, but what Serb riot police did there is fine and not terrible, imo. You can be critical of the order given to disperse, but this is much preferable to rubber bullets and batons and on the scale of a water cannon (also a very good tool against illegal demonstrations).

As for the millions demonstrating, they can take it ! No toppling an authoritarian regime without some minor sacrifice and this was indeed, very minor.

A lot of Australians want it dead,for good reasons.
They are far too big for a lot of our coastal waters,so why?
Maybe to be the fall guys when the US want to have a go at China…we get to be the target.
Mainly shipping a lot of money to the US for subs we will probably never see.
The Americans didn’t ask us,they sent for us,and got us offside with France too.

No one is defending the Democrats. Everyone is piling in on Trump.

Honestly, you’re imagining stuff after reading far right propaganda

I haven’t said you are pro-Trump. But some of the trash you come out with is most definitely trumpist bullshit.

I have a slight problem in that if you let the bullshit lie there unchallenged, @toro thinks he’s right.

He isnt and it that needs to be said.

It’s similar to all conspiracy theory crap. A huge mountain of crap gets built up and remains unchallenged. I appreciate we’re a fair bit more savvy here and also sheltered, so its impact is minimal.

Oh give me a break. I’m the biggest anti-conspiracist you’ll ever meet.

But the Left’s finger-wagging moralizing, talking down to people, telling everyone how to think and behave as if you are the ultimate moral avatars of society is a big reason why you are hitting lows in approval ratings never seen before in polling history.

The Left is hilarious,

“Golly gee. We just lost to the most corrupt and incompetent person to ever run for the Presidency, and everybody outside of our little media bubble hates us. But it couldn’t be us! It must be someone else’s fault!”

Are you implying the left isn’t critical of the dems? Where was the self reflection from Trumpists when he lost in 2020?
