It's Iran's terrority, and Iran is defending it after being attacked...
But I really think he's getting pressure from Christian extremists to abandon Israel. Their endgame was always Israel getting wiped out by its neighbors to start Armageddon and rapture Christians.
If no one joins against Iran, trump will likely try to slink away and Bibi holding the bag.

And he threatened NATO, who by all his accounts "stood back from the front lines" When Article 5 was called during the bullshit second Gulf War. And now he DEMANDS they help. Sure buddy.

I just love the quote:
He starts with needing help, starts to say he just really wants it, then pivota to demanding it.
The fact that he went thru those steps shows how much pressure he's facing.
His two biggest wings of influence has been Israel and American christo-fascists, if they start pulling him in opposite ways, he can't hold onto both.
He's fucked, but so are the rest of us by extension. Hopefully just till midterms at least.

The thing is, as a foreigner, and speaking bluntly, this is on the entire American population, voting him in once was one thing, but not dealing with Jan 6 harshly under Bidens administration did nothing more than encourage them and their billionaire backers. IF there's no false flag operation to cancel the midterms and IF presidential elections are held and the democrats get into power, you lot are going to have to overhaul your entire system to ensure another Trump doesn't happen. And honestly speaking I can't realistically see that happening.

No problem.
To put it bluntly I don't expect Americans to understand our political system, so I'm not surprised when foreigners clearly don't. Shits complicated and nonsensical
I just wish more would ask questions instead of sharing uninformed opinions as facts, but maga thinking isn't reserved for Americans...

In the age of misinformation and people using influencers and podcasters as "news and information" it's become the norm unfortunately. I tend to try and get as broad a view as possible and filter out the bullshit. And admittedly I don't understand the PAC system or the electoral college, and I can't condone lobbying as we've seen it's detrimental effect on general rights to Americans as well as pushing policy. Again, these don't affect us as foreigners, but they tend to push certain policies that end up with wider reaching effects.
givesomefucks@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 158d
That's the part that's relevant...
Whether a state goes 51% of 100%, counts the same.
This leads to depressed turnout and obviously no elections being on "all Americans". Most of our votes for president don't matter because most states go one way or the other.

While the Electoral college has it's own major issues. Awarding of the votes is done because 48 State Legislatures believe all the votes should go to the winner. Maine and Nebraska award their vote on a semi-proportional system. A true proportional system would go a long way of addressing some of the major issues such as a someone's Presidential vote being utterly meaningless. A Republican in California or Democrat in Idaho. (https://electoralvotemap.com/which-states-split-their-electoral-votes/)
This is the problem when people say "Vote Blue". Sure voting Democrat/Republican for US House or lower elections does matter, Senate and Presidential elections? If you live in a Red State, a vote for the Senate or President is completely meaningless in having a say of who gets elected.
Sure, states flip from red to blue and vice versa. However, that only happens if Parties really invest in that state to change it. Parties don't have unlimited funds, they pay attention to swing states which would have a better return on investment.
It's the inherent flaw of first past the post/winner take all style of voting.

considering the state of mainstream american news, pretty sure those listening to "influencers" are better informed. especially as far as iran/isreal/american imperialism in general is concerned
Mulligrubs@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 157d
The PAC system is legal bribery with the added bonus of the public being unaware of who is doing the bribing.
Nations use it to "influence" our representatives, from Israel to Saudi Arabia; the USA is open to all interests with enough cash involved.
Corporations and billionaires also prefer Super PACs, as what they actually want can be very unpopular publicly (like keeping minimum wage down to seven dollars an hour).
So, for example, if your (the briber) position is right wing, you contribute to the R party; if the R party won't accommodate your position for some reason, the Ds will (but it will cost you a lot more); if your position is left wing, you contribute to the D party; if the D party won't accommodate your position, the Rs will (but it will cost you a lot more).
With enough money, you can actually change the major parties political platform. See the history of unions, for example. The Democrats were once the "labor party", when unions were 40% of the workforce in the 1940s. Over the decades, it's now down to 10%. Or "state's rights", the Republicans position for many decades. Now, today they are all about flexing federal power.
This has absolutely nothing to do with what the American voters actually want at any time.
Electoral college? Oh dear God I won't even try to explain, it's different for every state (like a province, and there are 50).

Of course not. If the first move on a chess board was to simply take your opponent’s king, that would always be the first move in every game.
Having the midterm vote suppressed is just one sacrificial pawn in the direction of what needs to be done to eradicate fascism.
Knowing what to do isn’t that valuable if you don’t time it correctly. It’s not just one person or party. It is systemic and requires a critical mass of history to be successful.

hmmm with every erosion of your civil rights and liberties, the job of getting the pedophile president out is just going to be harder and harder... you don't need to wait until the last possible recourse is an actual assassination.
It is beyond my understanding how nobody seems to be actually calling for a General Strike in the USA... and the feeble attempts at marches (which are good) are specifically called far apart and on weekends to ensure they can simply be ignored by the regime
_chris@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 158d
There’s plenty of local calls for a general strike, but the media (social, mainstream, all of them) are actively squashing it because they’re owned by the billionaires who are the true benefactors of fascism.
Plus the fact that close to 60% of us would just be flat broke if we miss a paycheck, it’s not an easy hill to get over.

Obligatory reminder that the US is geographically monstrous and organizing a nationwide strike of enough people would be extremely difficult to pull off. We're also extremely tied to our employment for little luxuries like healthcare, and we have very weak worker protection laws, and right now seems like an especially bad time to lose your job protesting for the sake of the half of the country that absolutely loves what Trump is doing, whether they admit it openly or not.

Bytemeister@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 158d
The way I see it, there are 3 choices.
Vote (effectively). If you still have a glimmer of hope that things can be changed for the better, you need to be doing this. Job one is to keep republicans out of power, vote for whomever is going to beat them. Job 2 is to push Democrats further left in the primaries. Mamdani showed us that this can happen, reluctantly at first, but the party will respond to its voters. Key word there is "voters" if you don't vote, they don't know about you, and won't give a fuck about you.
Disruption. I can't in good faith call for violence, but if you genuinely believe it is impossible to fix the system by voting, you need to be in the streets disrupting day to day operation of the system that oppresses you. Protest, strike, squat, whatever you gotta do, but you can't do it halfway. If you aren't literally ready to fight for your life then, this option isn't for you.
Do nothing. You can just sit around and bitch about things. Whatever happens is (almost) equally your fault as it is the people who voted for it. You'll end up against the wall just like the other two groups, but it will take the nazis you left the door open for, a little bit longer to get around to you. I've got no respect for the people in this group, no one should TBH.

Do you really think "voting" will, for example, bring about real change, like universal healthcare?
Over 70% of voters want universal healthcare, as polls have demonstrated for over THIRTY YEARS. It doesn't matter.
Think of voting as participating in a poll or something, like voting for your favorite "American Idol".
It won't actually change the show, it's just part of the entertainment.

Someone dared to give the fuhrer the casualty and dammage reports?

Further evidence that his brain is like a rotten squash and he has no fucking idea what's going on around him, as he's manipulated by slimebags like Netanyahu and Putin.

Is he really manipulated? By outside forces? His cabinet and the rest of the GOP and hundreds of all american evangelicals, not to mention the tech oligarchs seem to be very happy with his ideas.
phutatorius@lemmy.zip · 4 pts · 158d
They're happy because there's money to be made.
And Trump is manipulated. Since he's so feeble-minded, and never was intelligent, it's now by the last person he spoke to. So whoever schedules his calls has huge power.

He was less stupid decades ago than he is now.

He seems to have learned about his wrong ways in the past. And that's probably why he wants to attack Cuba next (attack militarily, economically it's under attack for 60 years)

The good news is we already won! It's over! Trump told me so last week.

For once, Israel was the one to pull USA into the war. He only realized the grave mistake later. Though, he is still an incomprehensible pile of shit.

We are supposed to have checks and balances for this shit, but sadly that ship sailed a long time ago.

Maybe offer him an attempt at a diplomatic sollution in exchange for unredacted Epstein files?

It makes it sound like we shouldn't be there waring. He means we shouldn't be there as an ally...at all..over the past decades from the context of the whole statement.
Bieren@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 158d
He is going to go with the theory that we did this to protect and help nato. And that they aren’t doing anything to help. So we shouldn’t be taking care of their issues.
