And it won't matter as long as Israel receives money and support from the US.

And I doubt the US will ever stop.

[–] Sabin10@lemmy.world 71 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Isreal is the best way to funnel billions of dollars back to American defense companies, of course it's not going to stop.

[–] Taldan@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

It also directly goes to politicians through AIPAC

The USA has literally funded terrorist groups aka "freedom fighters" such as the IRA, the Taliban, and the Contras around the world for decades. Supporting a nuclear powered rogue state is nothing new unfortunatly

He was told that Iran would fold quickly and it would be an easy win for his ego. It’s not happening, and even Fox News can’t sugarcoat the fuel crisis for months and months.

[–] CannonFodder@lemmy.world 46 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Now he's looking at Cuba for his 'win'.

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 32 points 2 months ago

Cuba was being planned well before the Iran War started.

You thought gas prices are bad? Just wait until sugarcane sugar skyrockets!

Same thing happened with Iraq.

We were told it would be a quick win, a month at most, and wouldn't cost more than a billion dollars.

L---O---L

Both Democrats and Republicans support this war, if not in word than in deed, and I fully expect it to last for years.

How about instead of Cuba you invade Israel Mr President? Now that would be something no president world ever have done. You would surely go down in history! I'm sure we can also come up with some kind of biggest penis peace prize for you.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 21 points 2 months ago (6 children)

Wow, a rare moment of clarity for Trump?

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 50 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's an unsourced alleged phone call from a British rag. I'm really not holding my breath on this one

[–] Nick@mander.xyz 26 points 2 months ago

If it makes you feel better, it's not originally from a British rag, it's actually from White House mouthpiece Barak Ravid at Axios! The same "reporter" who's been edging the public for months about an Iran agreement being imminent to help manipulate the market every few days. So I'm sure it's true :)

Baby throws tantrum.

Can we get a conservative to translate?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 12 points 2 months ago

fox, newsmax, oan, and many right wing pundits will not even report on this.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 22 points 2 months ago (2 children)

In what has been described as one of the worst calls between the two, Trump “steamrolled” Netanyahu, a US official said, and Netanyahu responded with “OK, OK just make sure everything is taken care of”.

It's the Reagan moment where he figured out that he could tell them to stop for whatever they were doing and they stopped. Trump cares a lot about what people think. I would love it if he finds israel too toxic to support and cuts them off.

For once, he's not wrong. Though the exact same could be said about him & USA.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 months ago

Surely now will be the time the US decides it's bad that they're doing genicide. We're totally not accomplices, it's this guy that's wacko.

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Every so often, the man does or says something I wholeheartedly agree with.

This is one of those rare times.

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 17 points 2 months ago

It's an unsourced anonymous leak that he can deny while giving crumbs of hope to the anti-Israel right that's been starting to turn on him.

[–] palordrolap@fedia.io 4 points 2 months ago

Stopped clocks and all that.

One hundred thousand toddlers pointing to a lion, rhino, camel

"Lian...... Whino..... Camal!"

"Oh my god! This is the test Obama and Biden couldn't do. My kid will be President some day!"

Yeah, Benny is crazy. Literally everyone with basic cognitivity knows this. And for quite a long time. Those that support him are smart enough to have a money play from it and with their own disorders allowing for it, mainly psychopathy.

But, instead.. "That is indeed a camel, sir. Einstein would blush... No, sir, you aren't related to him and- .... oh, of course, sir........ Well, now we know who came up with camels as the name. Uncle Einstein's finest work, sir."

It's just a minor crisis, he'll forgive him.

Netanyahu turned Israel into Israpel.

Gee....I wonder why everyone hates Isreal?

It's a goddamn mystery, ain't it?

He's right. I used to think of Israel as just another country, and now I regard them the same way I regard North Korea.

Lol this is low quality propaganda, and political circus, America is openly directing the genocide in Gaza and now Lebanon. Propaganda pieces like these are just mechanisms to wash trump's hands while the zionist butchers continue to do America's dirty work killing innocent civilians to take their land and resources.

This Axios propagandist Has made a career of writing the same piece over and over:

Barak Ravid on trump's angry call on 2026

Barak Ravid's article on Biden's angry call on 2024

[–] RottenHeads@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Might as well decimate the israelis Mr. Trump
