The opinion in https://acoup.blog/2026/03/25/miscellanea-the-war-in-iran/ is interesting here.

Read the section titled 'The Gamble' if you want that opinion, but the tl;dr is that our 2025 strike against Iran ceded our ability to claim dis-involvement in Israeli strikes, and so Israel was able to draw us into this war whether we wanted to or not.

And how, pray tell, does an american voter vote against using the most lethal military in the world?

Vote against liars who promise peace. Or demand representatives impeach them.

> Vote against liars who promise peace.

By voting for a party that refuses to promise this?

> Or demand representatives impeach them.

We both know this will do nothing.

It's not the voter. It's the system.

The constitution is old and not democratic.

Russia, Turkey, Phillipines, Belarus, Nicaragua, etc, etc.

Presidential republics are a disaster waiting the right people to break them.

Time to put on your big boy pants and take some personal responsibility. The American people voted for this, they wanted this.

Less than half of the people who bothered to vote actually picked the guy.

I even believe that a non-trivial number of those folks actually believed their own rhetoric about America first, no wars, etc. But their commitment to one man is stronger than their commitment to ideals, and so here we are.

Perhaps they're a US taxpayer wondering why a $150+ million strike fighter was just written off?

While criticism of Israel should not be conflated with antisemitism, the concept of a "Zionist Occupation Government," without question, originates from neo-nazi conspiracy theories. Take that shit elsewhere.

At this point Israelis (and the bulk of Israel-backing jews around the world) only have themselves to blame for the resurgence of neo-nazi conspiracy theories.

>antisemitic conspiracy theory that claims that Jews secretly control the U.S. government.

Anyway, this just seems to be fact, and not a conspiracy theory? Besides for the "secretly" part.

blaming jews for antisemitism – lovely stuff!

switch the jews to any other nation and hate towards them and see how bigoted that sounds.

your hate is visible.
