    Why would anyone expect it to be much higher than that? People are selfish and that’s not entirely unreasonable when it comes to politics. It makes no sense for a foreign policy position to be the determining factor when deciding who to vote for, especially when we have so many problems here at home.

      Lol the US has been supporting Saudi Arabia through their war on the Houthis for 3 consecutive administrations which killed checks notes 85.000 children alone

      Some libs who just recently learned less than half about the conflict in Palestine and think it’s Kony 2.0 smh

        85,000 over 16 years versus 20,000 in three months.

        There’s a real big fucking difference

          That’s 85.000 children starving over a 4 year period alone. 380.000 total civilian deaths over 8 years.

          Did you see a lot of protests to call for a ceasefire? Do you feel their deaths are less worthy?

            Maybe you should lead with the real numbers instead of the fucking gotcha numbers.

            OK, so what do you need to do is take it over the last three consecutive administrations like you said.

            That starts with Obama for eight years, trump for four and Biden 43 going on four.

            Say what you mean and mean what you say.

              What I’m saying is that Americans are easily Kony’d into one day waking up and caring about one particular conflict that they never really cared about before, because they are so oblivious to what’s going on in the world
