Just like the founding fathers intended.

Seriously? It'll definitely work for more people than one dares to believe. It's not about it working in the way you mean on us, the people that nothing will work on, it's about everyone else. And for us that have functional empathy, conscience, intelligence etc. it will work in another way, we see the horrors about to happen. We see the people it's going to happen to as actual people and anyone can only handle so much. It's the classic "do or confess bad thing to make other bad thing seem less relevant", and that works on everyone, just in different ways.
I can absolutely see even here on lemmy being filled with news about this and less about what they're doing this to take attention away from. It'll work on me, no matter how much I don't want it to, because I feel for the people who will suffer and die from this. And It'll work on others in other ways.

Yeah, we've already firmly established that the majority of the US still doesn't care about these countries. I doubt it'll be more than a blip.

Remember when DOGE shut down USAID? There's an epidemiologist from Boston university who's been making models to estimate the human cost of it, so far they're showing more than half a million dead children: https://www.impactcounter.com/dashboard?view=table&sort=interval_minutes&order=asc

No one's paying attention to it. The whole matter has been forgotten, because the whole zone has been so thoroughly flooded.

They don't think so, or they don't care.

It was never about skin colour though, was it?

Americans don't think so. They think they're all Arabs.

Yeah they have a clause about even eating pork if it's a matter of life and death. It's one of those "God gets it" kind of fine print.

It can be a bit variable with Islam, but depending on what you follow there's maybe an exemption from having to fast during Ramadan if your well-being is just generally at risk from doing so. There are also several groups that are exempted (Sick, Pregnant, too young, too old, etc), but don't think any of them apply here.

More like, Ramadan, meaning they're ticked off because they're hungry and go fire off a few IRAMs. Attacks always increased when they were fasting.

And they would've taken Kiev too if it weren't for those meddling kids!

For now, foreign wars are a slow burn on popularity, for now he will be popular, before too long people will hate him for it, he will be gone soon anyway though he already doesn't know what is going on, or he wouldn't be betraying his america first bullshit.

Because we've had enough? Because we've learned our lesson?

Or maybe we haven't?

Different?

Yeah. The ruling class, and the oligarchs who own them, have made it abundantly clear they will burn the whole system down rather than allow one of their own to be held accountable.

In light of everything else that's going on it's a distinct possibility.

But I commented because the tweet and title of this post seemed to imply that good food for troops can only mean war. That's simply not the case. There are a number of reasons you'd want to improve morale with a (comparatively) nice meal. War is only one of them.

Only Congress can declare war, anything else is just a "police action". That used to actually mean something...in the 1800s. It lost its meaning with good ol' Teddy Roosevelt.

I agree that it's important to help the poor to make them less susceptible to financial coercion. After all, that is what capitalism does to quantitive measurements of debt, turns it from debt forgiveness to debt peonage. The second part isn't necessarily true, there are plenty of poor people that don't do what rich people tell them to, and plenty of rich people who happily do what rich people tell them to do.

The FBI sure love to support those that make Cheese Pizza

Indeed, another distraction. I'm going to laugh if the EU NATO members tells the USA our airspace is off limits.

He's not very good at controlling the narrative. Of course it helps to not actually commit crimes that everyone will hate you for.

The media aren't going to report that Trump has moved carriers into position because what's the story "Trump has moved carriers into position they haven't done anything though". Nah, it's either big explosions or they will go after the actual juicy story.

Of course internationally the media get way more views for dunking on Trump than anything else, so they're not going to drop the Epstein story until Trump is either convicted or he's dead.

He won't attack Iran, they have the Kompromat

Yeah, that source is just a "viral" Tweet.
