one of biden's traits is that he won't fire people (or allow those running the presidency to fire people); the phrase "he's loyal to a fault" seems particularly apt.

I can't see anyone who's resigned under this presidency having done so bc they were forced to, rather than for moving thru the lucrative revolving door and/or bc of burnout.

The protests have already made gains. Mild, token concessions for now, sure, but they're just getting started.

Also that image is a hilarious case of projection because when leftists actually take power, these same liberals immediately pivot to calling them "authoritarian"

I've been critical of the protests up to now, but they've finally found an avenue to put forward real pressure, so of course contrapoints and all her idiot sycophants come out to do what they love best.

Americans never learn about the Korean War because even the most base-level understanding of its causes and events makes it real clear that the US and our South Korean puppets were the bad guys. Like, all the way down to "the peninsula was divided because of an arbitrary decision made by a couple of American bureaucrats without consulting the Soviets or the Korean people". Just absolute villainy beginning to end.

Ohhhh, some learn about the Korean War to point out that Truman was spineless like almost all Democrats and that MacArthur should have dropped the atom bomb on China when the US was still on top. Venn diagram of the people that have read Bombs Away: The Hot War by Harry Turtledove and Americans that hate communists.

DPRK Accuses Israel and US of Mass Murder of Innocent Palestinians

The US's reactionary policies and reckless military support towards Israel are war crimes and crimes against humanity that led to mass murder of innocent Arabs.

Press Statement of Spokesman of Korean Jurists Committee

Recently, Israel has been expanding its indiscriminate military attacks on the Gaza Strip, and the number of innocent civilian casualties continues to increase.

According to data available since the outbreak of the Middle East incident on Oct. 7, due to indiscriminate air raids and shelling by Israel, more than 8,000 Palestinians, including over 3,000 children and 2,000 women, were killed and over 20,000 wounded in the Gaza Strip. And the damage is expected to be further expanded in the future due to the humanitarian crisis. Nevertheless, instead of making efforts to resolve the situation, the United States continues to condone and promote Israel's acts of massacre of civilians by focusing on military support for Israel.

After this incident occurred, the United States not only dispatched two aircraft carrier strike groups, but also a large amount of war equipment, including landing assault ships and fighter jets, to the region. It also deploys missile defense and interception systems such as THAD and Patriot and proposing to the Congress a comprehensive aid plan including a $14.3 billion support to Israel a spokesman of the Korean Jurists Committee said in a press statement issued on Friday, and went on:

This shows that although the United States is outwardly talking about preventing the escalation of the situation, its true intention is to protect and provide strong support to Israel's reckless military attack on the Gaza Strip.

The U.S. exercised veto at a meeting of the UN Security Council on the Middle East crisis on Oct. 18, talking about Israel's "right to self-defense" and also foiled the adoption of a resolution at a resolution at a UNSC meeting on Oct. 26, calling for a "temporary truce", not an "immediate ceasefire". The fact goes to clearly prove that it has no interest in the protection of civilians in the Gaza Strip.

In particular, the U.S. has insisted that Israel is not to blame for the death of more than 500 civilians due to the attack on a Palestinian hospital, shamelessly claiming that the number of civilian death announced by the Palestinian health authorities cannot be confirmed directly on the spot and, accordingly, cannot be recognized.

This fully reveals the U.S. cruelty and barbarity.

The U.S. loudly clamored about "humanitarian disaster", calling for the "protection of civilians" in Ukraine. But it is conniving at and encouraging Israel's hideous killings of civilians while keeping mum about this, which is the height of double standards.

Through large-scale protest demonstrations and rallies in different parts of the world, the international community is now strongly urging Israel, which does not hesitate to commit massacres of civilians, and the U.S., which is zealously patronizing, conniving and fostering them, to immediately stop the human slaughter.

A resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire for humanitarian purposes was adopted at the Oct. 27 special emergency meeting of the UN General Assembly with the approval of 120 countries. And a statement of the Middle East countries on putting an end to the war crimes of Israel against mankind and on making an immediate truce for the protection of civilians was made public on Oct. 28. They are an eruption of strong protest and anger of the international community.

The United States' one sided policy and reckless military support policy toward Israel is an outsized war crime that has led to the genocide of innocent Arabs. The United States is the country that should be sued by the International Criminal Court and kicked out of the United Nations Human Rights Council.

Ending the double standards of the United States, which exercises coercion and tyranny around the world, is a prerequisite for establishing a fair and just international order.
