    Well your last guy was a genocidal maniac with dementia; Americans need to realise that, from the perspective of foreigners, bloodthirsty aggression is bipartisan in the USA, and that Trump’s main differences are in the domestic arena.

    We do not care that “he’s an orange”.



















  • I don’t know what specific piece of leverage he invoked, given that Israel is almost entirely reliant on the US to exist, it could be a lot of things: maybe he threatened to stop sending tens of billions in arms, maybe he threatened to withdraw USA military assets from Israel and Yemen. Maybe he threatened to stop protecting Israel from international law. Maybe he threatened to side with the International Court. Maybe he threatened sanctions, maybe he threatened an embargo. Maybe he threatened to deploy the US military to drive Israel out of Gaza.

    The US has near infinite leverage over Israel, the fact that Biden refused to use it, because he supports Israel and it’s genocide, doesn’t change that.
