what the heck are they even talking about? Which 8 wars? And isn't he trying to start a war with Venezuela? This is total BS, afaik.

[–] joekar1990@lemmy.world 168 points 5 months ago (9 children)

He's trying to take credit for:

  1. Israel and Iran
  2. Cambodia and Thailand
  3. India and Pakistan
  4. Rwanda and Democratic Republic of Congo
  5. Armenia and Azerbaijan
  6. Egypt and Ethiopia
  7. Serbia and Kosovo
  8. Israel and Hamas

While some did have diplomatic breakthroughs some of the fighting hasn’t stopped and some countries said he had nothing to do with it. Granted he will never say anything about the ones that are still fighting.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 112 points 5 months ago (4 children)

Israel and Hamas

Sweet Satan, I hate that framing. It's Israel and Palestine. They aren't at war with "Hamas", they're at war with the Palestinian people.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 56 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

Would you say the Palestinian people are also at war with Israel? I wouldn't say so. They're sitting ducks. They are innocent bystanders being slaughtered. That's no war. The war is between Hamas and Israel, but Israel is punishing all of Palestine. That's my take at least. Maybe I'm misinformed.

What it is is a genocide.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 5 months ago

Yeah it's not a war, Israel is an occupying force

[–] Auth@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It can be both a genocide and a war. Hamas is the de facto government of that territory and represents the Palestinian people in Gaza. There was fighting between Organized and ranked Hamas Military forces and IDF right up until the last ceasefire.

The genocide was a result of the targeting civilians as part of the war, breaking rules of war.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Hamas […] represents the Palestinian people in Gaza.

Do they really though? Kind of like Trump represents the people of America?

[–] Auth@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

There is argument to be had I guess but I would say yes they do. They have been governing the strip for close to two decades and have popular support from the population even post oct 7th. After the latest ceasefire they still de facto govern the strip.

I would say Trump represents the people of America as well. He is the elected leader and his views may not represent all the citizens but his actions are the actions of America.

[–] thenoirwolfess@lemmynsfw.com 34 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

While technically correct, I would still refrain from calling an attempted eradication a war.

Just going to once again plug that Hamas is the name of the publicly elected government of the territories of Palestine, elected in 2006 to help restore order after the third-to-last "war" with Israelis.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 18 points 5 months ago

It's Israel's framing because

A) They don't believe that Palestine exists

and

B) Nobody likes Hamas, so an Israel v. Hamas war sounds much more positive, even though the vast majority of people being killed have nothing to do with Hamas.

[–] anas@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

That, and the ~~war~~ genocide hasn’t actually ended.

[–] Woht24@lemmy.world -5 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I have no horse in the race with Israel and Palestine. Hamas committed absolute terrorist attacks unprovoked (debatable but I'm sure you know what I mean). Now if you're saying it's not Israel V Hamas, then I guess you're saying that Palestine itself committed those terrorist attacks?

You can't have it both ways, it's a very complicated fight that Israel has stepped way over the mark of what was reasonable retaliation, but to say it's Palestine the country, paints a darker picture and damages the credibility that this is a genocide.

[–] HeurtisticAlgorithm9@feddit.uk 2 points 5 months ago

Nah but that's just wrong. Israel is at war with Palestine. The Israeli government is genociding, and Hamas (the Palestinian government) committed the attacks you are refering to.

[–] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 months ago

It's not Hamas they're starving

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 36 points 5 months ago (1 children)

This is a great chance to make MAGA feel dumb. Ask them what 8 wars. Make them do research. Doubt it was actually 8 wars and insist he only made 1 ceasefire that didn't last a week.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 5 months ago

Ask them what continent each one is on, and watch them get angry and beat up a minority about it.

[–] Gork@sopuli.xyz 17 points 5 months ago (3 children)

There's also the ones that he ended that never started because he's addled:

Aberbaijan and Albania

Cambodia and Armenia

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 4 points 5 months ago

Don't forget Venezuela vs Finland

[–] trolololol@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

What about that conflict in covfefe? I hear it's all computer. Sarah Connor is all over it.

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 months ago

trump definitely only knows about aberbaijan from gta5

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Amazed he didn't work in "The War on Woke".

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 3 points 5 months ago

May he forever sleep

[–] officermike@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I associate "the war on woke" moreso with DeSantis than Trump.

[–] thenoirwolfess@lemmynsfw.com 0 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

That war hasn't been won yet. And by that I mean - I would refer to the battle as between oppressors and libertarians

[–] the_mighty_kracken@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Libertarians? What do they have to do with anything?

[–] thenoirwolfess@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 5 months ago

Libertarians are the polar opposite of oppressors, dude, they believe in the freedom of the people.

[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

And Easter Island vs Christmas Island?

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Has Christmas encroached into April?

[–] nyctre@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Yeah, Christmas is claiming Easter is using weather control machines to get rid of winter.

[–] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 5 months ago

Lmao. I really wish someone had him try to point to 3 of those nations on a map

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 6 points 5 months ago

And most of those aren't ears, just conflicts which MIGHT become a war if nothing changes.

With that loose a definition I just fixed like a hundred wars in this year alone, I should be the Nobel peace prize

Having said that....

This is a corrupt psychopath asshole whose only reason for wanting this nobel prize is narcissism. He and his family havr stolen so much from all of his own charities that he isn't allowed to have charities anymore. All of his businesses have some scam or another attached to it, this is just your average asshole used car dealer with an extremely bad taste. Let's give HIM a Nobel prize?

I know that this Rep is only saying this to better her position, even though Luna is a Spanish last name, perra hipócrita, and I fully expect that once trump is gone, and he will be gone, that all these assholes will be jailed, this bitch included. You buttered up to trump for political favors? Jail. Throw away the key.

[–] AngularViscosity@piefed.social 4 points 5 months ago

he will never say anything about the ones that are still fighting

He will never say anything about being played for an absolute fool by Putin. Fucking dumbass orange man.

[–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)
  1. Israel and Iran

How can one claim to have stopped a war when you yourself ordered military strikes on one of the belidgerants

[–] joekar1990@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

No one said the list had to make sense.

[–] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 5 months ago

Everything they say is in bad faith so they know they spew poison

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 5 months ago

The war on not having a White House ballroom, so that's three wars right there.

[–] joyjoy@lemmy.zip 5 points 5 months ago

He did stop 8 wars, all thanks to self-control.
