“NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE,” posts the man who just led us into war.
Ikr, it’s like puncing someone in the face and then telling that person now is the moment to stop fighting lol
I read a post that said he couldn’t go to war without a vote from congress, was that wrong?
Edit: I’m not a US citizen so I’m not sure
The constitution gives Congress the exclusive power to formally declare war.
That said, Congress hasn’t declared war since 1942, yet we’ve obviously taken part in many wars since then.
Sadly there just hasn’t been enough Congressional support to retaliate against a president for jumping to military action without authorization. And it doesn’t help that the average American doesn’t know that the president is not allowed to just deploy troops at will (in most cases, Iran included).
Legally speaking that’s correct. There was nothing legal about this, though.
Kamala did warn you Americans.
Given how Germany, France, the UK etc have all lined up behind Israel, towing the line that Israel has a right to defend itself, and even going as far as saying that Israel is doing our dirty work for us, I have very serious doubts that Harris would not have followed Israel down the warpath.
A Kamala administration would not have left the Iran nuclear agreement though.
Trump killed off the JCPOA in 2018. Biden had four years after 2020 to do something about that and didn’t. So I don’t know what you’re basing your assertion on, it sounds more like wishful thinking to me.
Iran had zero interest immediately re-entering the agreement the previous president just broke. And rightfully so.
Clearly you just want to blame Biden and Democrats for this and pretend things would be just as bad with Harris
Biden
i suspect he was holding out til his 2nd term, but did not account for the fact that he had to drop out likely due to his cancer symptoms last year.
Now, when a terrorist attack occurs, he’s fully justified in declaring martial law.
It’s as good as over, folks. Checkmate.
he doesn’t even need that. he already does whatever he wants legal or not
That’ll teach the Democrats for not embracing socialism.
This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.
This lukewarm take in every comment section is so old and boring. Maybe try blaming the fascists for all the, you know, fascism.
Sounds like you don’t like me reminding protest-non-voters what they voted for.
Got another 3.5 years of this. Longer if you count the time it takes to fix things.
It’s fair game to blame citizens of fascist countries for the politics they helped to bring forward. And the “democrats and republicans are the same”-crowd that is very vocal on Lemmy definitely helped to enable this.
I don’t know maybe you’ll end up with Trump again after this if people don’t change the way they vote.
Maybe we’ll end up with Trump again after this if people don’t change the way they RESIST. Now is the time for active fucking resistance, not hand-wringing about past voting.
Ok, so how are you actively resisting yourself?
Nice try, FBI.
Yeah sure I bet except from complaining here you don’t do shit
Lol okay buddy you have no idea what you’re talking about.
we’re all suffering because of people who protest nonvoted right now. So fuck them. They’re just as much to blame as the maga voters. They fucked everything up. Its fucked. Its all fucked. So yeah, were going to be pissed about it.
My point is, regardless of fault, all this backwards-looking, performative infighting on the left accomplishes nothing at this particular moment. We’ve, uh, got bigger fish to fry. So let’s focus our animus (and resistance efforts) on the fucking fascists whose boots are on our necks, shall we?
Nah let’s not blame those truly responsible, lets just keep pointing fingers at each other exactly as the rich want it.
*Bombs a peaceful country. “Now is the time for peace.” 🫲🍊🫱
Closeted men of war preaching about peace. Closeted gays fighting against gay rights. Judgemental/greedy/racist religious people putting themselves on a pedestal about how you should “take care of thy neighbor”.
It’s always the ones who preach the most, the same ones doing the exact opposite of what they preach. Always the ones bitching about the bad in the world actively hard at work making the world a shittier place.
Seriously, if Trump says the sky is blue I’ll immediately look up just to check if it hasn’t turned red/green/pink/whatever.
Be always wary of the ones telling you how to live, and watch out for their actions closely. There’s no hate like the ‘love’ of these hypocrites.
Remove Trump now!
I can’t even with this shit
You know, the first two were enough for the world.
I guess we’ve lived long enough to see ourselves become the villain.
I guess we’ve lived long enough to see ourselves become the villain.
Always have been.
Can someone help me out here. How do they know that these sites are being used for nuclear weapons production specifically?
Iran does have a nuclear power plant and they do enrich their own uranium. Not trying to justify these bombings, I’m just curious on how they determined these sites are specifically for weapon manufacturing.
Remember when Iraq had weapons of mass destruction?
Same thing.
So total bullshit with zero evidence, cool. Just felt I was missing something as they kept calling them nuclear sites without specifying what they believed the sites were being used for.
Thanks for confirming
Netanyahu has been insisting that Iran will have a nuclear weapon in months for a while now. Here’s a Jon Stewart clip talking about it: https://youtube.com/shorts/jlqXOwYfpdQ
Well at least Genocide Joe didn’t become the president.
Well what is genocide Joe saying about the war? What about Harris? Chuck Schumer? Hakeem Jeffries? They’re saying exactly nothing because they’re inside AIPAC’s pockets? Thought so.
Yes good thing we got Trump!
Pretty sure Kamala has already said this would happen. Pretty sure Biden is dealing with fucking cancer. Hakeem Jeffries put out a video 2 days ago directly stating that Trump does not have authority to declare war, and a tweet 17 hours ago reaffirming such. Chuck Schumer has called for an immediate vote on the War Powers Act to involve Congress in Trump’s war.
What else should they do?
Okay so admittedly I hadn’t heard of that. Jeffries barely gets a passing grade, but still that’s weak for the so-called opposition to a fascist takeover. I’d like to see condemnation of the Israeli and US strikes as a whole, not just the possibility of expanded conflict, but I guess we’ll see where the War Powers vote leads to.
Oh my God who cares they’re not in positions of power
Why are you telling me that? The other guy brought up Biden first.
WW3 has officially begun.
Officially we’ll only be able to call that afterwards, during the cold war ww3 also almost begun. We should still try stop and prevent it, no matter how difficult it to argue it hasn’t begun yet.
Not defending any of this but these WW3 comments are so weird. The US has been in so many wars in the Middle East, why would this specific one turn into a world war? Especially since there will not be boots on the ground (you never know with trump but I think that’s genuinely the last thing he wants to do).
Well, I’m mildly surprised.
The suddenness kind of reminds me of when he bombed Assad.
This fucking dickhead drumphkins. Could someone please…
