I’m confused then. What doesn’t make sense to you? In my head it seems straightforward? ELI5 maybe, because I’m pretty tired today?
Problem: We should stop dictators from invading other countries.
Solution: The UK is offering to further step up to do that as a reaction to the US deciding to step down.
Because as many nations as feasible should take on the burden of stopping petty dictators from invading other countries.
In past negotiations Israel was willing to return almost all of the settled land, and swap additional land to make up for around 98% percent of the 1967 borders, grant return to many Palestinians to come to Israel, as well as financially support those returning to the West Bank and Gaza, and agreed to halve Jerusalem. The negotiations still failed because the two sides couldn’t agree on monuments in Jerusalem, like Al-Aqsa/The Temple Mount.
It’s not a deflection, it’s the single most important item of negotiation between the two sides, and Trump has done more long term damage by taking an official stance on that issue than any other president in US history has caused in the Israel/Palestine conflict.
Only one president in US history definitely destroyed the chances at a two state solution in our lifetime by giving Jerusalem completely and totally to one side, and it wasn’t Biden.
After the rumors of South Korea building tanks in eastern Europe, this move do be making sense. I wonder if NATO will ever expand to include Pacific partners?
I always take my food as a suppository. Rectal taste buds hit different.
Didn’t happen yet. Venezuela is still escalating tensions with force buildups on the border and passing laws claiming the territory, even though they agreed to go through the ICJ to settle the dispute.
Venezuela almost invaded Guyana. If Guyana was a NATO member it never would have been considered.
Based on what happened to Ukraine, I don’t blame any nation for running to NATO as fast as they can.
I’m surprised muscle fatigue reduces hunger. I would have thought the body would want to make up the caloric deficit.
Half /s, does that count? Lol. Obviously the CIA in central America and the Middle East was bad, but the CIA helping Ukraine with Intel and aid is a very good thing.
I thought it was basically an open secret the US was helping with intelligence and planning.
How based the USA is. Helping where we can to keep free democracies like Ukraine safe from authoritarians like Putin.
Tbh I don’t even blame Comey since everyone thought Trump would lose. Better to make it look like he wasn’t waiting for her to be president first and have conservatives going bat shit that the FBI is run by Democrats trying to steal the election…I mean they do that now anyways lol, but still.
Oof. This feels pretty dark.
Thanks for the reminder. It’s done!
IMO an edit is better to reinforce the initial comment as correct, so I went that route.
OHhhhhhhh. I’m an idiot. I mixed up gaza and the West Bank. My bad.
