Your assertion is that there is no distinction between offensive and defensive weapons. If that is true then any allowance of any weapons is a continued support of genocide. Another way: any bill that still allows some weapon types is functionally useless at preventing genocide.
Yes which is why AOC should have voted for the amendment to not send weapons to Israel. That is kind of the point here.
Except that's not what the amendment did, it only stopped some money for a portion of particular types of weapons.
Yes and AOC voted against that and said she did it because she supports sending weapons to Israel. Which is what she says in the tweet
I must have read a different tweet.
You read a tweet full of lies and deception the likes only MAGA normally publishes
This is some trickle down economics level of "being anti war".
So, to be clear, you would support Trump sending billions of dollars worth of 'defensive weapons' to Russia?
