  • They really couldn’t. They were caught between a rock and a hard place.

    Which is why Musk was able to dump over $70 million in exactly opposite attack ad messages to both Jewish and Muslim communities inside the key battleground state of Pennsylvania.

    If they pulled military aid on Ukraine, one of the most powerful lobbyists in a close election would’ve unleashed their funding, and Republicans too would have labeled Harris and Biden as Antisemitic. Netanyahu would have publicly stated that, “Democrats are putting Israeli citizens at risk from terrorist attack by leaving us defenseless!” In the worst case scenario, Netanyahu – already proven to be a psychopath who ignored obvious intelligence of an impending attack once – could have possibly staged a false flag attack similar to Putin’s past actions, and that would’ve sealed the deal. The public media would’ve labeled Biden/Harris as antisemitic and incompetent.

    It’s why they literally had to toe the line between protecting Israel (because the inertia Israel has in our society, sadly), but also seek a peace deal and publicly advocate for a 2-state-solution, as Harris did. The media landscape was not favorable to Democrats, which is why they had limited cards to play.






  • I’m just saying that it’s amusing the only anti-war Republicans in the administration and Congress are ones who’ve long looked, acted, and quacked like Kremlin assets:

    • You’ve got Tulsi Gabbard literally echoing Kremlin propaganda verbatim on Western imperialism (yet not making a peep about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine)
    • You’ve got Tucker Carlson flying to Moscow, simping for Putin, trying to show how great Russia is in contrast to the USA.
    • You’ve got Rand Paul flying to Moscow hand-delivering letters on behalf of Trump.

    There may be an intersection of my desire to not want to escalate for completely different reasons, and Kremlin operatives not wanting their ally and arms supplier to be crippled, but that is all.
