Oh my god! That is incredible. This is an onion of shitty policy. New layers of horror

Can you please explain the reference to perfidy?

Thanks, I understand conceptually the impact from a refinery operating for domestic supply being taken offline.

Not inherently, there needs to be a commensurate military advantage to make that so. Sure you could imagine heaps of contexts where that advantage exists militarily but I'm not sure what the benefit is here specifically

Is there any valuable business to be had between Russia and the US anyway? The economies don't seem well matched for trade with both being energy exporters, US finance markets not being stupid enough to charge into Moscow etc. Is it just trump remembering the russian cash in housing from the 90s

Cause divesting would accept the premise that you can be wrong and norms should be respected. Neither are acceptable within the regime

I approve this message

Can you enlighten us with the basis of the image rehabilitation assertion? My read of the man is that he cared deeply for the nation and its ideals under a perceived threat that he was closer to than almost anyone. Also you have always struck me as intensly partisan in your podcast appearances

Wait I see it now. Biden did recount news reports about dead babies. But that isn't a lie unless you know it was a calculated mis-truth right?

Again and again I have seen an administration act where it could to avoid a greater regional conflict and utilise influence to reduce harm in Israeli actions. I can understand the suggestion that greater influence may have been possible but the assertion of lying to public and congress still unfound

The only one of that I recognise is Rafah which the issue was a lack of planning on reduced harm to civilians which was upheld by the administration, with leverage, and ultimately altered IDF operations. That is not a lie at all

Can you please provide some of those specific lies?
