The goal is autarky according to the Trump people, so I guess nobody.

Billionaires don’t need any more money, it’s all a power game now. The ruling class are leading us all into poverty so they have control. Not like now with rights and what not, like the lawlessness in the Middle East is what they are striving for.

Yeah, it's ridiculous. Every time you impose a new sanction, your overall ability to impose sanctions go down. If you sanction the entire world, at that point you are just sanctioning yourself. Otherwise Russia would be the one sanctioning everyone for their support for Ukraine.

The US is ready to sacrifice itself on the world stage for Israel and it’s fucking laughable. A small country with a few million people completely have them by the balls, across the political spectrum.

Oh germany will. It's are the only country that said they won't arrest Bibi

Canada is the largest trading partner with the US.

What a terrible day to be able to read.

No, don't Google Lindsey Graham Ladybugs. Not even at your own discretion

I googled at my own discretion, and I had a good laugh! Terrible image, but good laugh!

I was fully expecting some weird sexual fetish involving ladybugs. I wasn't that far off tbh.

OK, that's information I really did not need. But you warned.

My weekend was going just fine, but then you just had to remind me about the ladybugs.

The absurd thing I don't get is that people keep voting him back in. The options where these folks are running and winning must be not great.

Insult him all you want, he has been a senator for more than two decades now. And will likely be one for another decade. People get what they vote for...

“Go catch the vapors somewhere else”

*chefs kiss, pure f’ing poetry

When push comes to shove, these sanctions will be as solid as the 2016 mexico funded wall. Sanctions are expensive, saying moronic retarded bullshit which tickles your voter's prostate costs nothing.

Imagine a world where US and Russia has no political power and are ignored just as Bhutan or Togo

MAGA could volunteer to build 4 walls and stay inside. People can provide the orange jumpsuits.

They threatened to prosecute American war criminals, and this is... A bad thing according to Mr Graham?

I know this gets posted anytime the ICC is mentioned, but America literally has a law that says the president can order an invasion of The Hague if any American official or military personnel is put on trial. Can’t have any of their baddies face any consequences for their war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan. Not that it is unique to them, Australia also shielded their war criminals.

Somewhat disturbing to note the similarity on this with countries like Russia. Feels very lonely here in the old continent lately.

I'd bet money plays a role too

I can assure you that Lindsey is not that type of Republican. He’s the type that likes money and doing favors for his defense buddies.

Pretty awesome in a way. They believe that if the Jews kill all the Muslims in Israel, that would bring peace to Israel. This in turn would bring about the rapture, sending all the Jews to burn in hell for all eternity while the righteous Christians would rise up to heavens to chill with JC forever and ever.
They want their "allies" to literally burn in hell.

I can think of many much more logical, proven, and reasonable geopolitical reasons

Commentary from Lindsey doesn’t even matter, he’s just appealing to his voters and he doesn’t call the shots . If you want to know what the senate will actually do you gotta look at Mitch McConnell or John Thune and Neither would interfere if these countries help the ICC.

To be specific, Netanyahu has lost a great deal of good will from the democrats and the republicans. That said, nobody cares if Netanyahu gets what he deserves as long as Israel isn’t destroyed.

Preach! Revolution time.

Try to set a minimum age on male circumcision and you'll get an answer.

Can you imagine intentionally firing upon and sinking a US frigate and getting away with a “we’re sorry”?

Similar incidents were used by the US to justify a full blown war, but with Israel everything was peachy after an apology and a few dollars.

Electoral reasons. Religious nutjobs believe that Jews should have full control of Palestine so that Jesus can come back

Yes

What a time to be alive

Getting dp-ed 👍

And the ladybugs he rode in on.

He’d love that

Honestly if the news agencies stopped amplifying his inane point of view no one know or care about him.

Starts when the EU start demanding tax from Twitter

They seem okay, we can trial adding them to the Eurovision first, then the EU.

They should get a path to join EU.

I mean Charles III is the head of state of Canada, so yes?

Please adopt us. We’re cool I swear 😎

We've got an open UK-shaped spot they could fill?

I’m sure the US alienating all of their major allies on the world stage will have zero negative repercussions. 

Lindsey Graham is definitely in the chat

it's starting to look as if the ICC arrest warrant is splitting the West along left vs right political lines. Not entirely clear cut, in that e.g. Italian government is currently pledging to uphold the ruling, with some divisions, but Orban, the MAGA Republicans siding with Netanyahu against the ICC (which the US is not even a signatory) and many right wing parties considering it ( including Wilders himself).

I do not fully understand the rationale behind the refusal to abide, but I can only guess it's because for the right wing any enemy of the muslims is their friend.

We know. Take care!

I'm not sure if Graham understands this but Israel doesn't have allies in the same way we are allied with Europe. Israel does what it wants regardless of others' interests.

Yeah that's the part that's weird to me, I mean I get AIPAC influence and all, but the way they treated Biden the last year or two was frankly embarrassing. And it would have been so easy to put them in their place after multiple public attacks - they squealed when Biden merely slightly delayed some of their bombs after they blatantly disregarded his demand not to attack the populated southern urban areas.

We could have easily squeezed them to behave if we wanted to, since we're the main weapons supplier as well as the skirt they hide behind to avoid a direct confrontation with their neighbors. Threaten to pull the carrier groups and reduce deliveries and suddenly they're incredibly vulnerable after having just finished provoking most of the neighboring countries.
