Violent clashes between protesters and security forces in Pakistan’s southern port city of Karachi and in the country’s north left at least 22 people dead and more than 120 others injured as demonstrators supportive of the Iranian government attempted to storm a U.S. Consulate on Sunday, authorities said.

In the north of the country, demonstrators attacked U.N. and government offices.

The violence came after the United States and Israel attacked Iran, killing its Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Police and officials at a hospital in Karachi said that at least 50 people were also wounded in the clashes and some of them were in critical condition.

So Pakistanis are killing Pakistanis in Pakistan because of the USA. Interesting times we live in.

Did they expect a different response when storming a consulate building?

Why did Biden pull us into another war?

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 5 points 1 hour ago

Thanks Obama...

Impeach. Remove. Imprison.

Oops. Forgot. We worship pedophiles in America.

I cannot believe Hillary Clinton allowed there to be another attack on a US embassy. She should have to answer questions before Congress about this

Lol. People thought the dem candidate was somehow a worse prospect.

[–] Tyrq@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

But she was a lady, and black, and laughed, how could that have gone well...

[–] kittykillinit@lemy.lol 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

If Democrats want to win elections, they need to run candidates that care about the working class.

Running on a platform of "deficit spending" is not enough. They need to raise taxes on the people taking us for a ride.

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world -1 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Of course! She would have started a war for greenland, hunted lgbt people and immigrants, and annexed mexico too! Without congessional approval!

Waiter! Ill have what the other guy is smoking!

[–] kittykillinit@lemy.lol 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

If that stuff really matters to you, then you should encourage Democrats to support the working class so they don't lose elections.

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world -3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Ya. You said that to the other guy too.

[–] kittykillinit@lemy.lol 4 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

Yes. Most of you still don't get it which is why Democrats keep losing to Donald Trump.

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world -3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Because trump cares so much about the working class. Right. Way to explain your point.

[–] kittykillinit@lemy.lol 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

You can keep repeating the same mistakes expecting different results and Republicans will continue to win elections. Or, you can learn from your mistakes and do something differently. Democrats use social issues to distract from fiscal ones, and people like you fall for it consistently.

Stop being part of the problem if you genuinely want to stop Republicans. What you're currently doing is not working.

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 0 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I dont have to repeat shit. It took just one bad move on the part of the sitouts to get us here. So while youre waiting on your ideal progressive candidate, the adults are trying to get things back to a manageable state. Then youre welcome to talk to me about changing stuff. Otherwise stfu or bend over and take trump like everyone else.

[–] kittykillinit@lemy.lol 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Ok. Hope you like JD Vance as president.

[–] in4apenny@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

How much you wanna bet that guy will vote for Gavin Newsom.

[–] kittykillinit@lemy.lol 2 points 6 hours ago

Everything.

[–] Luminous5481@anarchist.nexus -1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

None of those things has anything to do with this war, so stop the pathetic attempt at a straw man. She absolutely would have continued support for Israel, who are the reason this war started. It still would have happened under her, with the exception that unthinking pubes like yourself would have zero objection to it since it was the “moral” side saying the killing was necessary. And you’re right, she wouldn’t have done it without congressional approval. Both sides of the aisle would have lined up for the chance to kill Arabs on behalf of their employers in Israel.

But the thing your atrophied blue MAGA brain will never be able to grasp, due to your rather limited American intellectual capacity and your belief in the exceptionalism of your nation, is that congressional approval doesn’t make something moral, or even the bare minimum of being within international law.

If she was president, I would still think the world would be a better place if the US president was assassinated and their government toppled.

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 0 points 7 hours ago

Good for you! Enjoy your trump outcome then. Or do something about it other than venting to another internet nobody. Dumb american voters brought this on the world. They deserve every bit of ridicule they get.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 0 points 5 hours ago

you mean the one who openly said she would keep on bombing gaza?

[–] kittykillinit@lemy.lol -4 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

In this case, it doesn't really matter.

Kamala is an Israeli puppet as well.

[–] Soulg@ani.social 4 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

You're fucking delusional if you think she would have just randomly bombed Iran too

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world -2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

How so?

Biden and Harris went along with child genocide and a state-engineered famine. They would 100% bomb Iran if Benny told them to.

[–] CannonFodder@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

No they didn't. They still supported Israel, but they were making statements about tempering Israel's approach. As Israel got worse and worse under trump's encouragement, I'm pretty sure a democrat (or anyone sane) would have pushed back a lot more on Israel. Not enough, probably. But better is better.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

they were making statements about tempering Israel’s approach

LOL, they made statements about Israel's approach for four years... but supported every single thing those murderers did. Their words are meaningless because when Benny tells them to jump, they jump.

And when Benny told them to bomb Iran, they'd have done it.

[–] CannonFodder@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Obviously, you can't know that, so you are just making things up to fit your world view. But whatever, if you're happy with the destruction trump allowed on Gaza, I can't help you. Good luck.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

I love how Democrats suddenly pretend to care about these things once leadership changes.

All I heard from you for four years were excuses for genocide.

[–] kittykillinit@lemy.lol 0 points 7 hours ago

There's nothing random about it.

[–] Luminous5481@anarchist.nexus 2 points 8 hours ago

Yes but Kamala surely would have stood up to her employer and demanded they stop using the US government to kill Arabs! Trust me, bro, please!

I didn't expect Pakistan protestors to be the ones that are showing us how it needs to be done.

[–] couldhavebeenyou@lemmy.zip -2 points 4 hours ago

Fyi, these are the same people that blockaded the country when...

...the government refused to execute that woman for blasphemy

[–] Luminous5481@anarchist.nexus -2 points 8 hours ago

The security forces should not be protecting Americans. Let them face mob justice for what they’re doing.
