re: #34 The Ghost of a Flea

I don’t consider myself a centrist, but I also don’t think American presidents have control over wars between two countries that we don’t even plausibly control and who have strong interests in pursuing war. We control Israel like Ukraine controls Trump. Trump is as hostile to Ukraine as Bibi is to the Democratic party. We have some levers, but not enough to outweigh Bibi’s sincere desire to stay out of prison.

And so I stand by my original contention, which is that screaming about Genocide Joe is ridiculous as well as counterproductive, and also promotes a false idea that American presidents can unilaterally fix the world.

And if you look at my posting history, I am in no way a supporter of Israel in this conflict and would support an immediate cease fire, as well as a cessation of arms shipments to Israel.
