Right. Like how many times do we read something off the wall and we can’t even tell if it’s satire or legitimate reporting anymore because absolutely any level of madness is possible.

Recent examples are this whole “President Trump to rebrand Defense Department to Department of War” sounds like a SNL skit setup or “Trump moves Space Command HQ to AL, citing CO mail-in voting” sounds like the onion. There are better examples, but it’s just like every day some new crazy thing. It’s good to stay skeptical because it really is hard to be sure of anything one way or another.

It is a restricted airspace so someone ordered it. That being said, there’s a chance it was a flyover for the Polish pilot who crashed and died while practicing for an airshow.

But, keep in mind, it doesn’t have to be Trump personally. He’s not the only person in a position of power with a vested interest to make those women disappear. Plenty of influential scum bags to go around. And once the names are released, regardless of who releases them, blackmail is a lot harder to leverage. And the people leveraging it are not the idiots Trump and his quasi reality tv goons are. They’re more than capable of pulling strings, making “suggestions” and planning ahead. Trump isn’t hard to fool nor drive. The biggest difficulty with him is anyone can steer him; keeping him under singular influence is the challenge.

The answer is actually no. Even the ones that remain semi-operational have all been attacked and damaged. They often target the generators and power supplies for said hospitals and clinics.

I still can’t believe they did a military fly over to intimidate these women. I mean I believe it but I don’t believe it.

Have they asked for your help? No? No. Just blatant overreach and violation of nation’s sovereignty? Maybe check your own cabinet’s noses and pocketbooks before going after other free nations. Just a thought. Edit: fixed angry typos

Yup, that’ll do it.

I mean people ate them so I’d say you know the answer to that…

Perhaps I’m misunderstanding something somewhere. The original post seems to be saying, “don’t assume just because we support buying European we support Israel/Zionism”.

Movements that lean towards buying local often have a political leaning as well, I know that’s often the case in the US anyway that they lean right-wing (but not always like many union workers who support buying domestically but lean left).

I think the post is, “yeah we support X movement but we also support Y. Don’t assume you’re welcome here with that bullshit.” Which we’re on Lemmy, so it makes perfect sense a “buy local” movement would not support Zionism and modern settler colonialism.

Many companies globally are active participants in the ethnic cleansing and genocide of Palestine either through direct support or partnerships. The BDS Movement exists for a reason.

So you are ok with monetarily contributing to genocide?
