Cool, send US troops to the middle east to occupy hostile territory because historically the US has been great at keeping occupied territories!

I mean, there's Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, just to name a few succes stories.

After a few thousand service members have died, trump will just blame Obama for that

Directly participating in ethnic cleansing. What year is this?

Oh good, Gen Z gets to watch a bunch of people they graduated high school with come back from an endless unjustified war with TBIs, PTSD, hearing damage, or amputations. Or just never come home at all.

I thought we were doing that breaking generational trauma thing. Is that over? I thought it was pretty good.

Gotta keep that military industry going somehow. Papa Putin said he's not allowed to help Ukraine anymore.

He said it would be turning it into the riviera of the Middle East as a magnificent development project after leveling it

Batshit fucking crazy. He must be stopped

We're going to dedicate money and resources to clean and rebuild another city in another country, make it sparkling and new, and religious war will just disappear and there will be peace forever?

You can't even do that with *our own* cities devastated by natural disasters!

After settling millions of Palestinians...somewhere else. Just a nice and wholesome ethnic cleansing.

Trump wants to be bibi. He thinks war crimes and genocide are great. Bibi has trump at his beck and call. We all saw this coming.

I think it’s stupider than that. Most of the people backing him believe the second coming isn’t just a fairytale.

It’s easier to fix up Gaza because

  1. Somebody already did the demolition, how kind of them!
  2. All those pesky civilians won’t be around to bother the workers or object to improvements
  3. It’s not America so we can use real slave labor instead of illegal immigrants

It’s not America so we can use real slave labor instead of illegal immigrants

As if slavery was illegal in America. Check prison labour.

Thanks random Folsom Prison slave, erm, *inmate** for making my license plate...

Lock this fucking asshole up already, he is unfit to serve and should be forcefully removed from office immediately

I fucking called it lmao. I said boots would be on the ground if he won.

So it’s this what all the people who didn’t vote for Harris because of Gaza were wanting?

Why bother beating this horse? Polls after the election showed that this only accounted for a third of the required votes to match Trump's tally. Harris needed more than just a good middle east policy to win the election

Because otherwise they'd have to consider blaming someone *not* to their left.
