There’s also the thing where the US will turn on your country if you ever try to be more independent. NATO isn’t just a defence agreement, it’s a subsidy to the US defence industry. It’s the only explanation for countries willingly signing up to the F-35 programme.

Yeah, that’s definitely true for imperialist countries like Israel, the US and Russia.

I mean, that’s not really surprising. Every military makes plans for any contingency, and Israel especially has always been paranoid about Iran’s nuclear programme, so of course they would make sure they’re tracking the scientists in case they needed to make a move.

The disgusting part is them just pulling the trigger for political reasons instead of actual intelligence that indicates a breakout. And obviously killing civilians, which the scientists and their families are, but obviously Israel has shown in the past they don’t care about that.

Most likely they just didn’t vote.

I fully expect that years from now we’ll find out he started WWIII over some petty bullshit.

He probably did it so he wouldn’t have to pay for the wedding or some shit like that.

New Mexico had it coming tho.

That’s standard Republican strategy. A lot of the cases that ended up in front of the Supreme Court are straight up manufactured. In the case of the lady who refused to create a website for a gay wedding, they contacted the guy who supposedly made the request and he’d never heard of it before. Republican operatives basically looked up a gay guy in San Francisco and used his details in the website’s contact form.

Despite all that, the courts happily took the case and ruled on a complete fiction. Same thing happened in the case of the coach that forced his football team to pray.
