The US and Mexico have cooperated militarily on the issue before. The problem is that the roots are much deeper than a military problem, so no amount of US assistance can shoot the cartels into no longer being a problem for any more than a few metaphorical moments. As long as the fundamental causes of the Cartels’ power remain unaddressed by the Mexican government, US assistance isn’t going to be much help.

Stop, I can only get so erect

British Israelism

“I’m so sorry, we just couldn’t stop repeatedly attacking the Irish troops in an area we were informed Irish troops would be flying the Irish flag shouting at us to stop because they’re Irish, we thought they were Arabs”

Yeah no, I stopped taking Jacobin mag seriously after the Ukrainian War happened and they started gleefully bootlicking Russia.

I meant the actual issue in not having education or healthcare. You’re absolutely right about support of Israel being rooted in apocalyptic fantasies.

That’s alright, so long as quality of life in later years improves.

In the case of a Ukrainian victory, if Fico is still in office, you’ll see him reverse his position and infinitely deny that he was ever an opponent of NATO ascension. Russian stooges are opportunists, and as soon as the tide turns against them, they tuck tail.

They really want a viable third party that peddles red fascism, BSW style.

Come back to me when you are actually willing to throw your own comfort aside, when the cops are around. I do so every single time I see a fucking pig.

Because the actual issue for the US has never been the cost of it. It’s that half the country thinks that The Poors™, themselves included, don’t deserve anything other than scorn and disgust.

Oh shit you might be right, but does Assad have any genocides under his belt? I thought the worst he did was gassing his own citizens.

There is a very strong ethnic component to the ongoing civil war. There’s been a lot of ethnic cleansing and massacres supported by both sides - but obviously, as we’re discussing the Syrian government, Assad’s government being the important genocidal actor in this conversation. Iranian-backed Shi’ite militias have been… particularly vigorous in this.

We’re all fascist losers according to you.

Me: “We should not remain indifferent to genocide.”

You: “Clearly this means you hate veterans and think they’re fascist losers”

I’ll tell all my friends and family who’ve served posthaste.

I’d say it’s really telling that that’s your conclusion, but I don’t think you actually have any views, lol. If the simping for China wasn’t suggestion enough of a disingenuous position of ‘America-first nationalism’, this certainly is, lmao.

No, Americans first, middle, and last.

Except for the part where you’re constantly licking the boots of China on here. But yes, a very convincing American nationalist you make.

And I don’t believe you’ve ever been actually poor.

lmao.

And I know you’ve never been near the military or any kind of service relating to your morals, you’d realize the harm reduction option is keeping the US out of all conflicts for the rest of time.

“Harm reduction is when you allow genocide, and the more genocide you allow, the more harm is reduced”

10/10

Peace is not fascism no matter how much you war mongering conservatives want it to be.

“Opposing genocide is the real fascism”

Have you considered applying for a job with Israel’s PR department? You seem a perfect fit, lmao.

I’m happy you’re rich.

Literally living under the poverty line, but whatever makes you feel better about treating your own indifference to genocide as some kind of weird moral flex.

I’m happy that you hate your fellow Americans to the point you love to see them suffer so someone somehow be might not have a bad thing happen to them.

Ah yes, “America First” - just as pro-genocide as it was the first time the Nazis trotted it out!

Don’t know that they’re actually short the genocide, considering Iran’s backing of Syria, and the US definitely has an interest in a Middle East that is not in open war because of the effects of instability on international trade and the domestic political blowback from that, but otherwise I think we’re in agreement.

Stop begging the US for help. We’re tired we’re poor we have nothing left for you or anyone else.

Again, I don’t really know where you think I, an American, am begging the US, but uh, you have fun seeing pictures of murdered innocents and thinking “Oh boy, I hope my taxes are lowered by 2$ this year!” instead of “Jesus Christ, that’s an atrocity”, like any decent human being.

Now stop begging my country to ignore it’s own problems for yours.

Don’t really know what country I’m begging to care about the US’s problems, but you have fun with, uh, whatever weird pro-genocide position you got going on there.

I’m not fine with genocide, I simply have no more capacity to care about yours.

Yes, you don’t care about genocide, we all got it, you’ve been very clear.

Yes, now reread it in context. I do not want to send money to your shitty country to stop a genocide we had nothing to do with. I want to stop sending money to a country that is committing genocide with said money so I am no longer responsible for aiding said genocide.

Yes, I got that you’re fine with genocide and only care about sending money, you already made that perfectly clear. You don’t have to repeat yourself.
