      How is this making fun of the IDF? Seems to me the topic is the Biden administration’s arbitrary restrictions on Ukraine.

        to be clear, ukraine went ahead and did this anyway. And then the US lifted restrictions on this kind of stuff (idk if it was completely, but they did do it)

        It’s not really arbitrary, it’s just geopolitics being geopolitics, ukraine and the rest of europe showed that russia would bluff, and we’re supporting them more now.

        I guess it should make sense coming from a partially republican legislature that doesn’t even believe in the ukraine war to begin with.

      I mean…. They’re two totally different conflicts with different politics run by independent countries…. That are also proxy wars being funded by the US and China.

      Russia supports Iran while the US supports the paragons of Israel and Saudi Arabia. Kind of like the US was leaning Pakistan while Russia leans India. Now China finds more value with Pakistan than we do though (which will eventually make us do something stupid to “support our interests”).

        Yeah, I still don’t understand the Pakistan thing. Pakistan:

        • harbored Osama bin Laden
        • has pretty uninteresting economic output
        • has serious beef with their much larger neighbor India, and are somewhat friendly with Iran and China

        Whereas India:

        • has a ton of people
        • already has pretty extensive economic ties to the US, which could be strengthened, and is a ripe alternative to China for production
        • has tensions w/ China, so we have mutual enemies
        • is highly unlikely to harbor any of our enemies

        Yet we keep them at arm’s length.

        I could say the same for Israel and Saudi Arabia. Why are we so intent on picking the worst possible countries in a given region? The only explanation is that we want war…

    The American reaction in the second frame should’ve been: cool, here’s more weapons.

    They did what?

    Also, the auto fill results when you type in “Israel bombs” are interesting.
