Did we have NGOs demanding we coordinate with them in WW2 before bombing?

Its very unfortunate, I understand that, but in the middle of a war the priorities may be a little different than baby sitting.

And for those that say the vehicles were marked...just like the ambulances the terrorists were using, just like the hospitals they were using.......

Its a friggin war.

Communists won world war 2 and America took sides with communist Russia in that war. Look at the results. Your becoming a minority in your country because of it.

America became a world super power with the strongest economy in the world after WW2

He's right. WW2 made the world safe for communism, and although we've experienced prosperity, communism has infiltrated and eroded our society.

Once Russia got the bomb, our slow decline was assured.

And now Americans are convinced that girls can have penises too, and are more concerned with "likes" on Facebook posts than they are the direction of their nation. These people can tell you the final four contestants of American Idol from five years ago but cannot tell you who fought in the Spanish-American War (I wish I was joking, but I'm dead serious).

The pinkos played the long game, and won

America is still a super power with the strongest military and economy in the world in 2024 regardless of what anecdotes you mention

Maybe don't hang out in war zones. Or FAFO.

But are we any more free than the ChiComs, in truth? And do we really have a voice?

Numbers are nice, but trends and historical lessons matter.

Our military is the weakest it has been in a long time, and spectacularly failing to achieve recruiting goals by design. Our deficit exceeds our GDP for the first time in our history (literal bankruptcy). We send hundreds of billions of dollars to fund proxy wars around the world while we ignore an invasion at our southern border and pay no mind to homeless American military veterans. Our elections are at very least compromised if not outright rigged.

Pardon me for looking forward a bit more than focusing on the present.

The Israeli government is just annoyed they got called out for it.

The following is from Telegram, this is how ordinary people are reacting

There has not been a draft since Viet Nam, if the US were to be involved in a conventional war (wont happen) then the draft would be re-enacted and would solve the recruiting problem

Israel killed 7 international workers for an NGO that was supplying food. Big news outside the US.

The Israelis killed seven western aid workers in Gaza, attacking their convoy.

The aid group had organized their route with the IDF, but the Israelis hit them anyway.

Lima,

You cant seriously believe that photo? As big an issue as this was going to be, you think the IDF is posting that nonsense? Delete that, its below you.

Have to wonder about China. What's the actual exchange rate if they let the yuan float with other currencies? Probably artificially low.
