If I set fire to your house, and then I turn to you saying "ooh boy this is a hairy problem, you better take care of it", I am entirely responsible for your house being on fire.

It should be noted that it was the "please stop murdering children" kind of "antisemitism", not real antisemitism.

I'm with you on this one. What could they do but hvae their snipers target the elderly, children, and disabled? And they were being humane too! They were aiming specifically for the knees so rhat they wouldn't be killed, but just completely disabled for the rest of their lives. Honestly confused as to why Israeli leadership wasn't nominated for a Nobel peace price for that one.

And what do you personally think of this strategy?

If you read closely there's a second line in the picture saying "just kidding, that's in the US today". No claim is made about the USSR under Stalin.

And when the world police no longer polices we get emboldened actions like bombing Iran for no good reason.

I think you have a mistaken idea of what the policing has looked like in the past 78 years. The US bombed Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Indonesia, Guatemala, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lybia, and they've armed plenty of regimes doing the bombing for them (Saddam Hussein, for example). America has been destabilizing the globe for decades, and there is a lot of blood on their hands (on the order of 12 million, if we count direct casualties).

You think there was a good reason for invading Iraq?

Nooo poor Hitler :(

They probably just scrum pokered really well

People who don't read history create reductive takes

For all their warts, the socialist nations did actually improve the economic standing of their workers compared to before socialism was introduced. Does the reduced homelessness, better education, and free health care warrant the authoritarian measures needed to deal with attacks from America (cf the cold war, the Pinochet coup, the wholesale economic blockade of Cuba, the bombing (20% of the population, dead) and economic blockade of North Korea, and so on)? I don't know. But the idea that you have to get socialism juuuust right to enjoy its benefits is a false one. Cuba manages to achieve an average lifespan similar to (some years even higher than) America's despite the blockade.

Thank you very much I like your comment too.

It's not the same, likes cost nothing. Imagine going around and telling every poster you upvote "good comment, I like this".
