I’m sure the talking heads will still say and some Lemmitors will still repeat that Biden is doing everything he can to reign in that cantankerous Bibi.
Sounds like Jürgen Mackert has read Domenico Losurdo’s Liberalism: A Counter-History.
Yup, very likely: https://academic.oup.com/search-results?page=1&q=Losurdo&fl_SiteID=191&SearchSourceType=1&fl_BookID=58638

We’ve already seen it.
Good point, and quite grim. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that California voters, by popular referendum, chose to uphold slavery this month.
agree to might makes right
I see, we’re playing word games.
I will never “agree”—in the sense of “accept as a moral truth”—that “might makes right;” I will only acknowledge that it in fact can and often does make “right.” But not “right” as in “moral” or “reasonable” or “desirable,” but “right” as in “what actually ends up happening.”
What a weird non sequitur. The US does whatever it wants to, and everything it does is definitionally valid. The rules-based international order is: the US makes up rules and orders everyone around. Which is why the US is the greatest pariah to actual international law, and to world peace.
It does insomuch as they are operated by US personnel.
They aren’t.
If you say so, boss. We’ve had troops on the ground since even before the war started.

My favorite casual game, which I play on all my silly little devices, is Software Update ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The core Lemmy devs admin this instance and use it as a guinea pig for new software releases, but otherwise it’s not special.
I don’t know your situation, and I don’t have a crystal ball, but I think Trump’s rhetoric is going to rub up against the will of the bourgeoisie which relies on exploiting immigrant labor. Republicans talk a big game about immigrants and then exploit the precarity & fear that it generates. Not to imply that the fear isn’t justified, because it’s not all talk.
As far as we’re concerned there is no “main” instance, we don’t want there to be one, and we explicitly state that lemmy.ml is not that. What is lemmy.ml?
Even if it were to pass an audit, it would still be bullshit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_budget#United_States
And the DoD doesn’t encompass the whole of the MIC. The CIA’s money flow is a black hole unto itself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran–Contra_affair
