“There’s no incentive to investigate if the president and the White House themselves have announced that aid is unconditional,” said Brian Finucane, who worked for a decade in the Office of the Legal Adviser at the State Department advising on arms transfers and the laws of war.
“That means they don’t want to hear inconvenient legal conclusions,” he told The Independent.
Mr Finucane said senior administration officials he had spoken to had been met with a “shrug” by the US intelligence community when they quizzed them about mass civilian casualty incidents caused by Israeli bombing, “because it’s no one’s job in the US intelligence community, apparently, to actually investigate these things.”
No, I’ll thank you. You want to use one bad decision to justify another bad decision. And people in this country will suffer for it. And Palestinians will also suffer even more for it. Trump wants to nuke them, so have fun with that choice.
People in this country are already suffering due in no small part to this country’s focus on weapons exports. Are you not aware of that?
Very much so. But the folks that are willing to vote third party just strike me as selfish and those that apparently think they won’t be effected by Trump. Like wtf are yall trying to achieve here? (assuming you just aren’t pushing for trump anyway). You want Biden to lose because he’s sending weapons to an ally. I don’t agree with him doing that but it’s not like the US is going to stop under trump. If anything he’ll double the volume. And in no way is a third party gonna win. So wtf are you aiming for here?
Material influence on the Democrat party and it’s candidates. We’ve been pretty clear about that for decades now.
By losing them power? There’s other ways to do that. Go work for the campaign of someone that can help push that in the democratic party.
I have.
We are told at every turn “we can’t do that because moderate and liberal voters wouldn’t like it”.
Well you need to get more members of congress in. Cedeing to trump here by boycotting Biden isn’t going to help your end game.
It won’t help the moderate and liberal voters who are fucking over my interests either. They want to keep acting like they’re the only people in the party so I’m gonna grant 'em their wish.
