Maybe we should do in Washington what they did in Nuremberg.

That would involve having to actually set foot in the US. I don't blame them for not wanting to do it.

That is... not the threat that you think it is.

I highly recommend watching Fantasies of Nuremberg. Be warned, it is extremely heavy to watch. But it is absolutely essential framing to keep in mind when talking about Genocide.

The Nuremberg trials were way too lenient. Instead of establishing the death sentence for every accused right from the go as they should have done, it became a diplomatic battleground between the Allied Powers and the Soviets.

I'd say he needs an electric cattle prod shoved up his ass, and connected to a wired power supply... but he might actually be into that.

I do concur on the leaving office, though.

Rebuild and create a stable government with the ultimate goal of a long term stable ally? Because yes they should but that ship feels like it may have sailed for a good long while.

Oh no you mean what we did to Dresden and Hiroshima don't you? Complete annihilation without regard for human suffering

What they did in Tokyo? Drop 1600 tons of incendiary bombs, killing 100,000 civilians, destroying half the city, making a million people homeless? I'm pretty sure Israel is already emulating this strategy.

They already did much more than that tho. The percentage of palestinians in gaza that have been killed is so much higher than that of germans or japanese during ww2.

Some people set an example of qualities you want to strive to incorporate into your life; others set an example of qualities you want to avoid like the plague.

How many IDF soldiers are killed per month? 1? 2? I'm not convinced Hamas hasn't been essentially wiped out of Gaza.

Absolutely, but in this case it's likely that (and I think I've seen reporting that) they're undercounting the casualties. Also note that there are names and this is public information; for this information to be fake they'd need to fake the soldiers' deaths and that'd be over the top even tor Israel.

They claim 454 dead in combat in almost 2 years, so a bit less than 1 per day.
Having looked closer, this years data also includes:

  • 2 combat death in the west bank
  • 2 non combat death in the west bank
  • 1 vehicle accidents near gaza
  • 1 vehicle accidents in the golan heights
  • 1 blown up at home by iran

There are 85 combat death in 211 days. There is no information what combat death are friendly fire.

Rebuild the city and use it as an example of how prosperous capitalism was compared to communism

Semi-colonize and make them into valuable allies and economic powerhouses then betray them by randomly setting tariffs?

10

I was about to say, wasn't Germany a serious ally of the US until about...oh, 8 months ago? Same with Japan. What could've changed? I wonder.

Oh good he's obviously talking about the Marshall Plan. I look forward to the US shipping millions of tons of food and goods to Gaza post haste. /sad sarcasm

Deport Lindsey Graham for supporting a treasonous administration, preferably to the Oort belt/cloud.

Why waste the tax dollars? Just drop him off at the frontlines, or better yet some random spot in the middle of an ocean.

2

Yeah... that's the problem with him, he's not a loyal enough patriot....

When you're such an evil idiot that you mix up the Marshall plan with the inhumane actions taken in Dresden and Hiroshima

What cretin votes this fascist into power? I imagine they go back under their rock until it is time to vote again.

In Tokyo and Berlin, the genociders were destroyed, so for once I agree with him.

This bag of mayonnaise gets too close to a Weber grill & it’s like “Oh God fire!”

Dude if Israel did in Palestine what America did in Germany or even Japan we wouldn't fucking be in this mess.
