Guy who talks about the Korean war and Kim Il-Sung using the exact same language Archibald Dunning did about the American Civil War and Abe Lincoln.

In 1940, the Communist Party of Great Britain said that the British government started World War II and shouldn't fight Hitler. That same year, the Liberal Party joined Churchill’s wartime coalition government.
Living in a neoliberal dystopian hellscapeLiberals will always choose fascism over socialism.

Is there any actual evidence homeboy was working for Andross? Just based on the actual facts of the mission, it seems like we bombed some guy minding his own business in his house on the sun and then we said he was a terrorist to justify having killed him.

i'm sorry, my copy must be missing some pages, is this really the entirety of the DSA's foreign policy platform? program.dsausa.org cause "unilateral US withdrawal worldwide", israel/palestine, no sanctions [lol], and abolish ice (Which is not FP) is, uh, remarkably short...

I think it's also important for libs (like myself) who oppose the DSA to say clearly what they would need to do become an accepted part of the coalition. For my part, the main thing is having a foreign policy consonant with the values of a humanist internationalism.
Dead CarlI'm talking about the org and why I do not support it or its efforts to gain influence within the party. I hear quite a lot from DSA people confused or offended that liberals take this stance, so it is worth elucidating.

People also ignore that an arms embargo reduces U.S. influence over Israel’s actions. Biden got Netanyahu to agree to the 2022 ceasefire in part because of Iron Dome support.
NiedA likely outcome of an arms embargo on Israel is that they just switch to dropping unguided bombs on Gaza, killing even more people there & the response to pointing that out is often "at least we won't be responsible" & no! It's a direct consequence of the actions you took! That's responsibility!

I swear, "a pope from Chicago excommunicates a Nazi-adjacent sect" is like a cut scene from The Blues Brothers
The Associated PressBREAKING: The Vatican excommunicates bishops from a breakaway group of traditionalist Catholics that consecrated them without Pope Leo's consent.

Pocan: "I know you're a Christian nationalist by declaration." Vought: "This is the second year in a row that you've used that slander." Pocan: "You wrote an article called 'Is There Anything Actually Wrong With Christian Nationalism?' And now you're saying it's a slander?"

Really disheartening having seen a MAHA bumper sticker today knowing this guy is genuinely one of the most despicable public figures of our time

Iran is richer, their nuclear program is undeterred, the Strait will not be open soon, they are forever inclined to close it whenever they like, the regime is not substantially weakened, and the United States’s word is mud. The worst foreign policy choices on our part in 25 years.

This applies to all of the cold war era ‘puppets’ including the Shah and various others. That caricature always downplayed the agency and motivations of other actors
RussianHacker (Marklin)I fun little thing I like to jokingly bring up when uninformed types try to insist pre-democracy South Korea was an American puppet in any way.
