This is the most incompetent, incoherent war America has fought in the last 100 years. And that’s saying a lot. This administration has no idea what they are doing. There is no viable war plan. They change their goals and their aims every single day.
I have great sympathy for our soldiers and our military leaders. They are being given directions by a senile old man who is losing his mind. And so, it’s no surprise that this war is going horribly.
so incredibly tone deaf to claim sympathy for the soldiers and leaders of an aggressor, who made the conscious decision to follow those orders
so fucking tone deaf. shame on you, OP. it’s disgusting. people have agency. those following orders are equally culpable
That’s a quote of what the congressman said, not OP’s own words. I’ll admit they didn’t make it super clear with quotation marks, but OP is just sharing an article
Personally, I think this is another great example of dems “doing everything they can” by… using stern words of disapproval with instead of actually fucking doing their jobs
Intellectually/spiritually/financially impoverished slaves conditioned to be as abusive as the system that reared them and still provides them their “necessities”. I like to think of imperialists as semi-conscious children with serious behavioral disorders+no early-life training for how to interact in non-hostile ways with other beings, who have been convinced by lead-poisoned racist authority figures that growing up to become a cog in an infinite plundering machine is honorable life path. All it takes is some reframing… maybe some of them end up waking themselves up to the whole mess in time to, at the very least, remove themselves from the process and re-evaluate their behaviors/priorities, begin growing their desire for truth-seeking, appreciation of nature, personal growth, or just living in the real world outside of 24/7/365 imperial conquest mode
