GBU_28

Huh? I just think it's weird to bring up as like, a burn.

We're a mile down in a Lemmy thread, nothing here is serious.

Not defending bidens record here but are you really dissing an 81 yo dick? You think anyone has a girthy hog at 81?

They aren't suggesting anything. They're saying we're poisoned and it's gone critical.

My guy, I'm not arguing that terrible genocide isn't happening. It's a hypothetical about how when people aren't dead, hypothetically ending the conflict can save their lives. This is why the rate matters.

You are latched on to minutia, when I'm suggesting a slower, hopefully stopped genocide is better than a sped up, expanded genocide.

If the genocide kills 1 person per year, that's better than one that kills 1,000,000 per year.

Because you are being very pedantic, let me be clear: I don't think what's happening now is close to 1. I don't claim 1 or 1,000,000 is the accurate number. It's an illustration.

Trumps team has made clear they want wider war. So WHATEVER is going on now is not enough for the trump team. Pick your number, pick your actors pick your locations. I'm not contesting any of it. I'm saying whatever you say is happening now, they want more.

Checked my passport, called my hotel, checked my flights. agree, honest mistake it should have taken a few minutes. Also I doubt it was a full hour but man it felt like a lifetime.

Edit I don't think I was actually detained but they spooked me into agreeing to hang around while they verified things

Huh? That's insane. We hope that an existing genocide is slower, obviously ideally slow = 0. More time for more lives for peace talks to bring it to an end.

I disagree that the rate, and overall scope are the same with Biden/Harris or trump. I'm contending, based on his admins own words, that things will accelerate faster, and end up worse with trump. I'm not suggesting things would be chill and peaceful with Harris.

Well the police would generally do it. That's how it generally is in the US too

I've never claimed that.

A wider genocide. A nuclear war. American soldiers actively involved, essentially another iraq war. A US administration not seeking the relative calm of the past but a 2025 with NO Palestine, no Iran, no Yemen.

Bidens admin has tried to maintain the status quo. They wish things could go back to say, 2019 status or so. It's still shitty, it's still unjust for Palestine's innocent, but there isn't a full world war happening.

Trump's team wants to get actively involved. They want to go far beyond the status quo. They don't think what is happening today is enough. They want open war with Iran and it's satellites. They want Palestine depopulated and to rebuild vacation condos in its place.

I get it you think it's really bad now. I agree.

But we are about to get someone actively hoping to make it worse. More, more, more.

Yeah it's about to go region wide. Many 10s of millions more will be in active combat zones. What we have now is just a primer.

Edit As a highwater, Israel flirts with nuking Iran if they become nuclear capable.
