    He knows he can do whatever he wants because liberals will vote for him anyway. Theyve cornered their supporters into a corner gave them a boogeyman and they will be rewarded, again, for shitty politics thats getting people killed

    I could kill and starve thousands of brown people in the ME and not lose a single vote

      The Boogeyman already proved his worth as a Boogeyman, but you’re either too dumb or too privileged to understand

      You act like the President makes international support decisions based on his opinions or constituency. POTUS has always leaned most heavily on the advisement of the State Department when making decisions like these. Not news, citizens, the UN, the ICC, or the ICJ, but state intelligence. Blinken needs to get back to work providing a more thorough and conclusive report so Biden has something to justify a change in a preexisting commitment of support, and Biden should be pressuring him to do so.

          I’m not deferring responsibility, only explaining how the presidency works regarding intelligence of international affairs. You don’t have to like the truth, but I suggest you make yourself aware of it.

              Again, I agree he’s the one responsible. My comment was meant challenge your suggestion that he’s making international relations decisions based on polls or likelihood of reelection, not tell you where to point your finger. Carry on with your judgement all you’d like.
