          It isn’t as much of a stretch as that created by Israel sticking their hands far up U.S. govt’s ass.

            Wait, so the US is the puppet? Is the US fighting Israel’s proxy war? Do you people even know what you’re saying when you say stuff like this?

          It is a stretch, but it’s also a proxy war funded by the US that escalated several fold under Biden

        A proxy war implies they’re using another nation to fight an enemy. Which enemy are they fighting? Palestine is not an enemy or threat to the US.

        You could consider Ukraine as potentially a proxy war, but you’d have to be pretty stupid or pretty mislead to think Gaza is.

          What do you mean “Source?” Are you asking for a source that Israel invaded Gaza? A source that the US funded it? A source that it escalated during Biden’s presidency?

            Are you implying that on a quiet morning somewhere around last October, Biden gave Bibi a call and ordered him to escalate?

        I don’t see how. you would need to consider any military action by any ally then as a proxy war for any nation. So it would be a proxy ware for most of europe to and asia and a good part of both africa and the americas.

        More like a defense of merchant ships attacked by houthis.

        I wouldn’t call that a “war started by Joe Biden”.

          Well Wikipedia considers it a war, I bet the poor mother fuckers that died think so too, but that list has 7 other conflicts that Obama started, weirdly there isn’t a single one by the ultimate mega hitler everyone is talking about.

            Megahitler closed a “don’t shoot while I’m running away” deal with the Taliban that Biden had to mop up, now you can hate on Sleepy Joe as much as you want, but that is Drumpf’s doing.

            Another day, another comment I’ll block for stupidity.

            The 10 people who died in the defense of merchant ship from houthis is totally comparable to the tens of thousands of homeless people, protestors, victims of police violence, inability to pay for medical care, resulting from Trump era policies, not to mention what banning abortion will do.

            Megahitler is currently focused on the enemy within, after that is exhausted they will need to start on the enemy without.

            ultimate mega hitler

            If Trump wins and he starts marching the Latino and queer people into camps like in the threats his people are making, I want you to remember that you said this.

                  Show me where anyone is threatening internment camps for gay people.

                  The Latino thing is going to be the exact same thing that all 4 of the last sitting presidents did, but you’re going to act like it’s worse when someone red is in charge.

                    Trump has promised that, if reelected, his administration will rescind federal policies that prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, and will assert that federal civil rights laws don’t cover anti-LGBTQ discrimination. In addition to rolling back existing protections, a second Trump administration will proactively mandate discrimination by the federal government wherever it can. Lastly, and perhaps most ominously, if Trump returns to the White House, we expect his administration to use federal law – including laws meant to safeguard civil rights – as a cudgel to override critical state-level protections for transgender students and to force state and local governments, as well as private organizations, to allow or even perpetuate discrimination

                    https://www.aclu.org/news/lgbtq-rights/trump-on-lgbtq-rights-rolling-back-protections-and-criminalizing-gender-nonconformity

                    But sure, no direct evidence of concentration camps, so all of that is fine. Nothing to worry about. That certainly couldn’t possibly escalate and it definitely isn’t bad enough to do something about.

            I have little hope you’ll grab the concept, but

            Did that ‘war’ start with the Houthis firing missiles, or them being fired upon?
