The Guardian's army of reporters visited the site of each and every explosion and verified they were indeed Hezbollah targets to bring you this 100% legit headline.

What an understatement of a headline.

That's a very fair point. Unfortunately, one party in your two-party system worships Israel and the other one adores it. It's hard to claim infiltration and interference when it is encouraged and even enshrined in law, culture, media etc. The only political movements - social democracy abd libertarianism - that are opposed to these developments are essentially barred from political power.

It's not the wars. Vietnam involved a draft and Americans fighting and dying. As far as Americans are concerned, Gaza is just an issue of conscience. They have no skin in the game.

Yes, money sent to Israel and Ukraine reflect badly on the administration when Americans are facing economic hardship. But that's because if the economic hardship.

As someone intimately familiar with the Gulf - the "reality check" is just that it's going to be more expensive to buy Saudi Arabia off for Israel. That's literally it. As for Qatar, they can either tank relations with it or surrender to the fact that they can't simply buy and subjugate eveyone to create a Potemkin peace where no Arabs can even speak to, speak in favor of or ise their influence to support other Arabs who are threatened by Israel.

Ukraine is by no means tiny. And the numbers you state are unrealistic to the point of absurdity. Things may in fact end well for Putin. He will be despised forever in the West, he's old and cannot hold power much longer and Russia will spend at least the next decade distracted with a wide front. But there is a possibility he will consolidate territories taken, keep Ukraine out of NATO through pokiticking and pass on his power to a successor that would convince Western leaders to partially restore relations with Russia out of convenience.

As a true centrisy, for every "Six Days in Fallujah" I want one "Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque". Fuck the ADL.

Honestly I think it's just a make-work job Trump gave them in his transactional sort of way. I think he dislikes Musk on a personal level (I have no evidence, I just presume that they have clashing egos and personalities.) I wouldn't be surprised if they have a public falling out in which Musk gets mad that he isn't important enough in the admin and badmouths Trump.
