Who doesn't love the Israeli ogre

[–] Pissed@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago

He's a golem not an ogre.

Should I have voted for Dr. Oz?!

[–] orc_princess@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 weeks ago

Assuming that person is a socialist, we advocate for organizing, not just voting (and imo voting is fine but it can't be the full extent of your political involvement)

https://lemmy.world/post/44104254 identifies that Fetterman seems to be carte-blanche pro-zionism, suggesting he's owned by Netanyahu's kompromat on him..

& if Netanyahu's "Israel" wants Cuba broken, then .. that would extend to this, too..

( no idea if that's true, but compromised "representatives" are not proper/correct, at all. )

Lol you give him too much benefit of the doubt even now, he’s been on the Nazi side long before he ever had his widdle stroke

[–] freagle@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Israel has absolutely no interest in Cuba in any way, shape, or form. If Israel has kompromat on Fetterman, which it doesn't even need since the guy would do anything they asked him anyway, they're not going to direct him to go against Cuba unless the US power elite asks them to do it. The USA is still in charge in this relationship. Israel has developed some of its own interests for survival and has to coerce powerful people in the US sometimes, but Israel is not setting the Cuba agenda.

i sometimes wonder if a cuban invasion will be the next distraction and to throw trump a bone that needs from failure in iran.

[–] freagle@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

From the US spin doctor perspective, possibly. But Israel needs the US 100% focused on West Asia. It's existential for them

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

so is cuba for a capitalist controlled united states. the capitalist oligarchy have already lost the narrative battle that socialism creates hellholes in countries with vast numbers of people and resources like china and losing that narrative w a small nation that continues to thrive despite all attempts to choke it to death proves that capitalism isn't necessary nor fundamental to anything.

[–] freagle@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago

Not really. Iran is an existential problem for Israel because of its ability to project force. Cuba is an indirect existential problem for the USA because it might inspire the USA working class to become an existential threat to the oligarchy. These are very different.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 points 3 weeks ago

It's not existential for them. They're zionazi genocidal fascists.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 4 points 3 weeks ago

I don't think there's damning evidence, I just think he's a self-serving garbage person, there's evidence he always was, and he's doing self - serving garbage person things.

[–] elekitty@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

genuine question, why might the Zionists want to do away with Cuba?

I maybe wrong but Cuba probably has no muscle to oppose the Zionists Regime's goals

[–] Paragone@lemmy.world 0 points 3 days ago

Cuba seems to be Palestine-supporting..

Maybe that isn't significant, but zionism's going scorched-earth on the ones that .. I think it is Ezekiel 39, or something around there ( don't care ) that "obliges" them to genocide the ones around them..

& sympathizers would be included, wouldn't they?

They're probably brown over there and they have some resources. Netanyahu or whatever his name is is most likely racist.

Rotating villain

This dude is a PEDOPHILE

This is really weird.

Why are we talking about congress voting against a measure saying that Trump can’t engage in something that the constitution clearly requires congress vote for a war before he can engage in it.

Even if the vote passed it would only be symbolic, no? War requires an affirmative vote from congress not a no vote for an anti declaration, or whatever the fuck this is.

This vote is simultaneously stupid and revolting. I’m just glad they are letting us know who to vote against.

Vote against these asshats no matter who. It don’t matter if they are blue or not. Fuck the democrat party too.

This also sounds like bullshit a bullshit vote for corporate media to lie to us and say that a war with Cuba is somehow legal now that this vote happened.

War requires a declaration of war from an affirmative vote in congress, not an anti-against war vote. It’s pretty clearly written.
