On the one hand, I want to have sympathy for the suffering of my American neighbours.
On the other hand, you dumbfucks let THAT guy get into power… TWICE! I’d be disappointed if it was just the once, but TWICE!? You people saw how bad it was the first time, and voted for another round. Hearts out to the people who are suffering, but clearly this is what the majority of you want, so I can’t feel much sympathy anymore.
They’re attempting to, with how they treat Ukranians in territories they occupy, but thankfully Ukraine is able to defend themselves against missiles and bombers. Not really the case with Palestine, not much a Palestinian kid can do against complete and total saturation bombardment and snipers to pick off the civilians that survive. Israel and Russia are two sides of the same coin against very differently equipped victims.
