Thanks, I appreciate it :)

So how does this new, different US strategy differ from what they've been doing this entire time? letting the atrocities play out has been their strategy, is it because they've officially given up on calling for a cease fire?

Unsourced speculation is a weird way to say "reading the article and citing what it said"

The administration is saying the justifications, the stenographers of empire are the ones uncritically reporting them.

Do you really need me to spell it out?

Now, U.S. officials have dropped their calls for a ceasefire, arguing that circumstances have changed. "We do support Israel launching these incursions to degrade Hezbollah's infrastructure so ultimately we can get a diplomatic resolution," State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller told a press briefing earlier this week. The course change reflects conflicting U.S. goals - containing the ever-growing Middle East conflict while also severely weakening Iran-backed Hezbollah.

The new approach is both practical and risky.

We love a practical warmonger 🤩🤩🤩

Yet now the democrats are being called genocidal for basically being in power after decades of policy and foreign relations were already set.

If you get in power with genocidal policies in place, and do nothing to change them, after running as the people to 'change' things, for 3+ presidential terms, you're going to get tarred with the same brush.

The lying about yellow cake required democrats going along with it. Biden (and many others) voted for the Iraq war on the basis of those lies- I don't think he was swindled, it was a convenient lie to believe if you're a foreign policy hawk.

yeah it is, it's uncritically reporting what the administration is saying, justifying the war even, despite the fact that they obviously control the reins on this mad dog - they could cut off weapons at any time.

The US strategy has not changed despite the headline, it has always been to let the atrocities play out

The US is supplying the bombs that are being used to indescriminantly murder civilians though.

modlog example:

It's not too fancy, this example is just from the last time someone decided to post some 4chan-level shit and it got reported from all directions - you even can see people from hexbear, .world, blahaj, and sh.itjust.works all reporting it

Israel is a complicated situation, it’s not as easy as just taking all funding and weapons away, this would destabilise the whole region and Israel ceise to exist. It would have an impact on the whole world.

I would argue that it's a positive impact, but that's where we differ. I can't tolerate ethnostates and this year has done nothing but cement that
