I agree with you, but it doesn’t matter. Most people are intellectually lazy. If you’re of average intelligence, half the population is dumber than you. Nearly half of America struggles to read at a sixth grade level… how are they supposed to use reason and logic against emotional manipulation when they’re barely literate? All by design of course. Keep the population dumb and desperate and they’ll accept whoever promises to save them. It’s not that people are inherently dumb, perhaps some are, but knowledge is a skill that can be worked at even if one isn’t born with a Ferrari for a brain.
Btw, you have heat, but we have devastating floods and landslides. Nowhere is safe from climate change, or Ted Cruz for that matter.
As for Ukraine and Israel, I support some assistance to Ukraine, and none to Israel. Fuck Israel. But Ukraine is also sketchy - arguably this wouldn’t of happened if we didn’t go regime changing. Victoria neuland (an Obama diplomat) did some shady shit there in the early-mid 2010s that involved the maiden protests which were a color revolution. They kicked out a pro Russian leader and installed a pro nato one. It’s shady at best. And the Ukrainian neo Nazis are a thing despite liberals trying to pretend they don’t exist (to be fair, there’s questionable groups on the Russian side as well).
All in all I wish we would stop meddling in other countries sovereign affairs and stop being the worlds policeman while we have homeless starving people here.
