    We have stock piles that we can grant to other nations without congressional approval. We use these to keep supplying Ukraine when Republicans act cute. It just sounds as a reallocation of assets. Trump would do this in a heartbeat. His own son has bragged about stealing Palestinian land.

    Harris absolutely would not put American boots on the ground to fuck with Israel’s neighbors because Israel isn’t worth it in the slightest. But what Israel does have is a AIPAC and the current political situation means that if a shit ton of money and political favors and compromot gets turned against Harris the moment she or Biden piss Netanyahu off enough, ruining the presidential election but also down ballot campaigns.

    I understand genocide quite well. If there is justice America will face a great many consequences and Israel will as well. But the key issue right now is Trump will win if Kamala does not. And Trump will do more than make the genocide worse he will make this country worse than before in ways that will cost lives here and abroad. That isn’t saying Harris is perfect, it’s saying Trump is worse. And I know that sucks ass. It does. But it’s been sucking ass and it won’t be fixed until we have a real national left party or otherwise that has an actual edge in a national election.

    At least other nations have more balls and I’m hoping international pressure starts to weigh on the US as well. But Trump is famously manipulatable by dictators, love Netanyahu etc all the coming sucking memes. I don’t think for a moment that Trump would yield to and international pressure in a positive way. Ignoring all the domestic garbage and christofascist apocalyptic bullshit.

    TLDR fuck man shit sucks

      Both parties support genocide, because Israel is a useful tool for the US Empire to maintain Hegemony over the Middle East. Both Kamala and Trump are dedicated to it.

      As for Trump making America itself worse, it will get worse under Kamala regardless. As long as the US remains Imperialist and Capitalist it will remain in decay.
