If you think it's that simple, you probably believed Trump was going to get Mexico to pay for the Wall.
You asked me a question and I answered it. Are you going to answer my question now?
Or hell, let me ask you. Given the choice between supporting Israel or Biden winning the election which would you choose?
You're very funny.
You act as if you have absolutely zero understanding of the complexities of the situation, and then demand that I ignore them, too.
Israel has nukes. Think they wouldn't use them if Iran invaded? Think they wouldn't throw a few at Mecca and Moscow as a farewell gift?
That's just one thing I've thought about. Biden probably has fifty worse scenarios from people who have studied the situation for years.
Pretending that just stopping is a realistic option is childish at best.
Are you upset that the choice you have in front of you is too reductive?
In a word, yes.
I say that it's an incredibly complex situation that has baffled some of the finest political and diplomatic minds of the past 100 years.
You say it isn't complicated.
Just remember that Israel has nuclear weapons, and I for one would not like to see those weapons get used.
Yes I agree it's upsetting when the choice placed in front of you is too reductive. I know exactly how you feel. But sometimes that's how life is. What's your choice?
Biden is dealing with a hugely complex issue that has baffled diplomats for over a century.
My choice is to trust Biden. The other option is to not vote for him and hope that Trump doesn't do more of the stuff he did last time; allow mobs to kill innocent people; destroy the economy; roll back enviromental laws; roll back LGBTQ+ laws; make abortion a punishable offence; and Trump would probably give Israel more nukes.
I don't trust Biden one bit. Still better than Trump, though.
