    Biden has flat out told netanyahu that the war cannot continue the way it is and it will not turn into a year-long war, and the US is focusing on a two-state solution.

    The only thing Reagan was better at was illegally selling weapons to Iran and funding coups against democratic countries.

      All these words and yet the actions are the exact opposite.

      Netanyahu said he wants to continue his genocide until at least 2025 and he will never accept a two state solution.

      What Biden should do then is withold weapons. But he’s not, he’s helping Israel by bombing Yemen.

      Bidens actions and words contradict. That shouldn’t be hard to see.

        Biden is diplomatically influencing a volatile military conflict that concerns a very old and strategically important ally.

        If he immediately pulls away all support, the US loses all credibility as an ally, negotiating partner and strategic advisor, not just now but for the foreseeable future.

        Biden’s doing it exactly right. He has advised them to begin winding down operations, and when they haven’t, he let it be known they won’t support a year-long war, and in the future they can slow down aid.

        You want this to be some simple storybook morality play, but it’s the real world where every single decision Biden makes as the commander in chief, including everything he says, affects countless other past, current and future scenarios.

        You can throw a tantrum all you want, but Biden is diplomatically drawing down the conflict in the wisest way a world leader not directly immersed in the conflict can.

        Your suggested reactionary whimsy is invalid and unhelpful.

        Right now, you’re just upset that “it’s not fair”, but the situation not being fair isn’t going to be resolved because you’re upset it isn’t fair or immediate or perfectly clean.

          You’re writing this off as some intelligent de-escalation. In reality Biden is doing everything he can to allow israel to continue their genocide. He put aircraft carriers next to them against retaliation and is attacking Yemen for blocking their ships.

          He didn’t have to bypass Congress to provide them with more explosives. He could have used the excuse that he was powerless.

          It’s funny to see at least someone is still falling for this theatre. Probably the worst performance a president has ever put on.

          Biden is massively escalating the middle east by failing to reign in his pitbull. This is some of the worst crisis management of all time

            This is the timeline diplomatic de-escalations work on.

            Biden is bombing Yemen because government and commercial ships were being fired on for weeks by terrorists devoted to indiscriminately killing Americans and Israelis, despite warnings of military reciprocity.

            What an inane strategy, for the commander-in-chief of the most powerful military in the world to say he’s powerless.

            Amazing you could come up with a method that could possibly not be less believable.

            You’re so far off the mark. I don’t even think you know there’s a target.

            Biden is de-escalating this situation.

            As confused as you are, remember that the US is thousands of miles away from this conflict, still gathering intelligence, and unless you would like us to send soldiers over there to directly engage in military combat, the diplomatic strategy Biden is employing is the prudent and intelligent de-escalation solution he should be, and is, employing.

            Haha, you know you’re winning when they resort to a bot group to add ten downvotes to every post.

            Run away, run away.

              Tell me more about how Biden must start WW3 in order to protect Ben Gvir from having his Colonize Gaza conference canceled.

              Here’s an alternative: when israel says they’re not going to allow a two state solution and openly call for ethnic cleansing, stop supporting them.

              Netanyahu is openly dunking on Biden on Twitter. Biden still kneeling after being publicly humiliated isn’t a sign of strength, it’s a sign of weakness.

                Not happening.

                He is.

                Despite the faith you apparently put in “Twitter dunking”, diplomatically de-escalating a war is a wise and humane strategy.

                Biden is actively and maturely contradicting all the pathetic ranting you’re so proud of netanyahu for, and the fact you find Twitter whining an example of strength and solemn, prudent diplomacy a sign of weakness belies your confusion and how deeply mistaken you are.

                  Thanks for your very mature and amazing insight failing to address any of my criticisms and instead deflecting to believe in #GOD EMPEROR BIDEN 2024.

                  It’s like having to listen to Republicans explaining how Trump actually is playing 5D chess.

                  Open your eyes dude holy shit.

                    You don’t like simple, logical answers because they very clearly neuter your narrow-minded off-bsse attacks that took you so long to concoct.

                    Go pray to whatever 5d god emperor will grant you their fool’s blessing until you can slither forth with a new fallacy.
