    All these countries that say “we support” Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and every other victim of the zionist entity aggression, but do fuck all to actually SUPPORT them, starts to ring hollow after the first 80 years or so.

      To be fair, it’s easier said than done. Israel’s protector & enabler has over 900 overseas military bases; a global nuclear arsenal; one of the largest international trading footprints; and veto power at the UN Security Council, the World Bank, and the IMF.

        America can’t stop tons of drugs and weapons getting delivered into America every day. Ansarallah has already proven that they are not as invincible in this situation as they would have the world believe they are. If the international community stood up and enforced existing international laws against committing and enabling genocide instead of just talking about it, who knows what could be done? Sadly it doesn’t look like we will find out any time soon. As comrade Jackson observed (paraphrased), at some point patience taken too far is cowardice.

            Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq et al have proven that despite their military and control of the monetary machinery, the USA is not invincible. Mao called them a “paper tiger” decades ago, and he was right. Civilized countries need to stop believing and perpetuating their hype.

              Oh well America can be beat so I guess the only righteous path here is to subject your own population to potential decades of American bombing and embargoes in pursuit of that goal.

          You are severely over-estimating the extent to which they want to stop
