30 upvotes: Doves win political power, surrender, then say “see, interventionism can never work!”

Genuinely flat-earth levels of delusion to think this is how the US operates. A take so ignorant it stops being annoying and starts being funny.

I guess it’s inevitable people will resort to the fifth column excuse whenever an imperial power loses a few wars in a row.

Oh, you’re just not considering all the recourse extraction and juicy private contracts. It’s not a matter of ‘doves’ giving up. The market-metabolism of empire necessitates moving on to fresh targets. The social organism we call the United States depends on maximizing entropy abroad. Let fly the depleted-uranium bullets in Europe!

i gave them something with a tad more explanatory capacity, lets see if they have more of a response then downvoting…

They’re right. We must kick Joe “Tree Hugger” Biden out the office. He’s too weak to win wars. Get back Hillary.

Give a liberal a liberal from another state to compete against and watch them turn into Lord Gerald Nigelhouse, Baron of Headington and Her Majesty’s Royal Advisor on the Empire.

And if the others do not see themselves as liberals? Good. You now have a civilization vs barbarism argument on your hands, using morality to justify war.

We are where we are, the Houthis are not going to stop because we asked them to be nice and meeting their demands is not tenable.

We CAN’T stop genociding Palestinians, that is a non-starter.

“They didn’t accept our conditons of fuck off and die and give us all your possesi9ns in the mean time so anything that happens to them is their own fault at this point”

Well at least we have a concrete example of victim blaming.

Lmao “Look it’s not that we can’t stop the Houthis, it’s that we don’t want to escalate because it could start a war and we’re being nice.”

Amerikkkan brainworms are unmatched.

“We could have won but people won’t let us do as many war crimes as we want” had been America’s excuse for every war since wwII

Sooner or later, one or more American warships are gonna get blown up in a mass casualty event with a ton of US sailors dead. It’s not a matter of if, its a matter of when. Then Biden will order the withdrawal of the US navy from the region and cede it completely to Iran.

Lol at the use of the term “mass causality event”. It’s like they’re trying to link the Houthis with school shooters.

It’s funny cause they role play them all the time. “This time I get to be the medic and you get to pretend your eyes are bleeding”

Edit: the navy calls them “Mass Casualty Drills”

The biggest joke here is the idea that the bloodthirsty jackals would let a ripe opportunity for war pass them by.

$5 they went through and pre-emptively banned anyone that was subbed to CTH. I got perma banned from there when I cited their rule on glorifying violence and asked if that meant they were opposed to U.S. foreign policy.

Reddit won’t even let me make a new account, I get insta banned the moment I do you piss off the wrong mods. It’s kinda good though, I avoid that hellsite now

Step 1 is to use a different browser than when you were banned. Step 2 is to use a fake email address to activate the account. https://temp-mail.org/en/ I found that when i didnt use an email, i was shadowbanned fast but if you use an email it seems to get around it.

Pretty sure it’s a hardware ID ban, if I make a new account and log in on any of my devices I’m instantly banned without posting

They shadowbanned me when I joined, but when I appealed and mentioned that I’m just using a VPN and not ban-evading, they lifted it. I’m one of the lucky ones, I’m sure they’ve denied appeals of lots of people who were in my situation

Same forgot my password after they got rid of third party apps so tried to make a new one and it got banned within 24 hours for ban evasion because id previously been banned from worldnews for saying giving unlimited military aid to proud self avowed nazis was bad.

I was banned for spreading misinformation.
