President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

This is hilarious on one level and appalling on another. And as a commenter put it, "I'm betting the Chinese intelligence analyst who read this guy's first email instantly knew that US intelligence would be watching every move he made, and told all their colleagues not to touch the guy with a ten-foot pole."

 

As you needed another reason to despise Andrew Tate, he provides this.

 

So, if we said Tuberville didn't support Jews, would that hurt or help him in Rocket City?

 

I was told by someone with amazeballs critical thinking skills that even mentioning Iran as a possible player in this latest is tantamount to wanting to get in Marjorie Taylor Greene's panties.

 

I just don't see how this "benefits" Hamas at all. World condemnation, massive civilian casualties, loss of political goodwill to the Palestinian cause. But it clearly seemed to be in the interests of some group or another. And no, nto claiming its a false flag. As much as we like to claim "ideology" is the root of terrorism, ideology doesn't pay for all of the weapons - money does. I'd guess the amount spent on this attack is easily north of a couple million. Somebody saw it as a good investment.

 

This thing was planned far in advance. Personnel had to be recruited and trained, arms and explosives smuggled in and stored without being spotted in an area that has long been under the eye of Israeli intelligence,. Anyone who thinks that this was done with money released three weeks ago is an idiot. There are any number of players in the Middle East who might have seen this as an advantage to them politically or simply hated enough to finance this blow against Israel.

 

Russia and/or Iran. Both have ample motive to poke at Israel and the US.

 

Will those who oppose giving Ukraine aid to fight off Russia because “we have homeless veterans here” oppose aid to Israel to fight off Hamas?

 

I think a lot of that early pushback on Iran was thanks to this critical thinker right here:

 

The oil sheikdoms have bankrolled the Palestinian cause for decades. The move by MBS toward normalization with Israel may have stirred up some discontent among more conservative interests in Saudia.
