This one blows my mind
buy this twisted logic one could say
The US was responsible for Pearl Harbor
Ukraine was responsible for Russia invading them
Poland was responsible for Nazi Germany invading them
I could go on, but I am sure you get my point.
Next mind blowing thing here is why would we have a āpalestine solidarity committeeā operating in any American school, this is a people lead by a terrorist group.
Is it any wonder why college students are overwhelmingly support hamas, that is a problem and a big one as I am sure a few of these kids will someday hold office in our government
We are a broken country
But the answer as always is Jesus Christ
This one blows my mind.
Israel attacks USS Liberty
During the Six-Day War, Israeli aircraft and torpedo boats attack the USS Liberty in international waters off Egyptās Gaza Strip. The intelligence ship, well-marked as an American vessel and only lightly armed, was attacked first by Israeli aircraft that fired napalm and rockets at the ship. The Liberty attempted to radio for assistance, but the Israeli aircraft blocked the transmissions. Eventually, the ship was able to make contact with the U.S. carrier Saratoga, and 12 fighter jets and four tanker planes were dispatched to defend the Liberty . When word of their deployment reached Washington, however, Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara ordered them recalled to the carrier, and they never reached the Liberty . The reason for the recall remains unclear.
Back in the Mediterranean, the initial air raid against the Liberty was over. Nine of the 294 crew members were dead and 60 were wounded. Suddenly, the ship was attacked by Israeli torpedo boats, which launched torpedoes and fired artillery at the ship. Under the command of its wounded captain, William L. McGonagle, the Liberty managed to avert four torpedoes, but one struck the ship at the waterline. Heavily damaged, the ship launched three lifeboats, but these were also attackedāa violation of international law. Failing to sink the Liberty, which displaced 10,000 tons, the Israelis finally desisted. In all, 34 Americans were killed and 171 were wounded in the two-hour attack. In the attackās aftermath, the Liberty managed to limp to a safe port.
If that is the case this one should also blow your mind
Myself, I will stick to current events

How about sticking with reality.
Stephen King Roasts Marjorie Taylor Greeneās Claim āNot One Single American Dollarā Has Been Spent on Israel-Hamas War
Predictably, plenty of people were quick to correct her, including acclaimed horror novelist Stephen King. He replied, āAre you tripping? Weāve given them aid and armaments for decades.ā
āāand not one single American dollarā is false, since WW2, US has given Israel ~$260b in aid, much of it went to the military. Plus another $10b for their Iron Dome defense system (which they are currently using at this war). The grants acquire the buying of American tech.ā
American aid to Israel has become a hot topic as the war between Israel and Hamas continues. In 2022 alone, the United States committed more than $3.3 billion in foreign aid to Israel, and a full 99.7% of that amount went to the countryās military.
There is an abundance of information available when it comes to breaking down the aid that Israel receives from the U.S. Since the end of World War II, Israel has been the ālargest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign assistance.ā The United States has sent Israel at least $158 billion in ābilateral assistance and missile defense funding.ā
The countries re-signed their third 10-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in 2016, which secured such funding through 2028. In this new agreement, the U.S. will supply at least $38 billion of military aid.
Israel has also been able to buy 50 F-35 Joint Strike Fighters, the Department of Defenseās fifth-generation stealth aircraft, and is the first other country to have done so. The purchase was funded with U.S. assistance.
Dennis, interesting little fact largely not known by Americans - the commander who instigated the burning of Washington was a guy called Robt Ross. The wiki article refers to him as an āIrish Officerā but he was of course a British Officer who happened to be born in Ireland.
Anyways how the present can link to the past - there is an image of a monument, in recent years renovated, to Ross - I drive past it most Sundays though never felt the need to stop and visit - long story short the monument is never attacked or damaged yet stands in an area that would not be supportive of that history - reason is there is a peace agreement in place.

Just another in a long list of unnecessary wars, I donāt know about you but I am tired of these endless wars. How much better all our lives would be if that money spent destroying each other, was put to work building us better countries

Interesting take @Dennis3450
There is a quote we have known for many decades - but which now seems to have been largely eliminated - the import of course is that war is hugely profitable for āBig Moneyā ā¦

My mother told of war - in 1938 her father announced - āget on your knees for there is going to be world war, the Aurora Borealis is in the sky over the (Mourne) mountains.ā
My mother recalled the sense of hopelessness, that there was nothing much she could do except pray.
When the war was over she was now 18 and plenty she could do - she got on the ferry and headed off to England to be a nurse.
Will there be another world war?
For me - Iām going to follow my grandfathers advice - itās the best that I can do.

Youāre funny. You must be researching all the crime stats on your end too to confirm the reports that ācrime is rampantā and not just taking the talking headsā word for it.
Yea right.
@samewiseā¦ What are you on aboutā¦?? It reads like a brain fart.ā¦
Soooā¦ No proof of the āElitesā¦ Closing down stores that arenāt in high crime areasā¦ā

I mean I can say the same thing. Whereās your proof? Iām waitingā¦ oh wait you posted an ABC News Video link. I guess those are allowed.
Maybe you need some fresh air. Youāre about the most grumpy person on here.
Whereās my proofā¦?? Iām not the one making ridiculous, unproveable claimsā¦
And yes I provided a mainstream media link to the crime waves in these citiesā¦ A left biased news network reporting on left biased crimesā¦ Itās what gives the article credenceā¦ Clowns calling out other Clownsā¦
I get plenty of fresh airā¦ Maybe I am Grumpyā¦ But I refuse to suffer foolsā¦ So when I see rubbish being posted in this a Political threadā¦ Posted as factā¦ You can be sure Iāll call it out.
You were simply asked to backup a statement with data, articles you made about the US Economy and then spent the next 3 posts running around in a circle waving your little Cabbage Patch armsā¦

Canāt we all just get along, lol
I would say there are a variety of reasons stores are closing outside of HIGH crime area, Iām not sure if Elites is doing that. Some companies are in bankruptcy proceedings, while others say theyāre cutting costs. Some are adapting store formats to meet changing shopping patterns etcā¦
You got the truth police over here telling everybody his ātruthā on his daily walkabout. Shutting down a conversation. No opinions allowed.
Maybe you can hand out a chill pill.
@samewise You now have two disagreeing posters agreeing to disagree with youā¦
I rest my caseā¦ āTelling everybody his ātruthā on his daily walkaboutā¦ā
