    Well uh when you have the US Navy under your command, and already in the area dealing with Houthis, you know, by shooting down their missiles and bombing them and such, you actually /can/ stop trains and tankers.

    You could airlift aid! You could, hilariously, stop ships heading to Israel with a Naval Blockade!

    Obviously that last one isnt going to happen, but theres a whole lot more than basically nothing that you could do.

    For starters: Cut off a bunch of joint projects between US and Israeli firms, stop sending them large amounts of money for other things, stop fucking shit canning every attempt by the UN to sanction Israel, or maybe even use these aforementioned things as threats and leverage to force a fucking ceasefire.

    And now because this is the internet: Am I saying that Trump is somehow not bad, not far, far, far fucking worse by pointing out the rest?

    Nooooo!

    No, fucking obviously Trump would be a thousand times worse!

    But pretending that there’s nothing Biden could do is a joke.

    He doesn’t because he is a long time Zionist, and the American public, and particularly political and media figures, have been bathed in Zionist propaganda for so long that it takes an overt genocide for us to figure out that maybe Israel actually isn’t a perfect unconditional ally.
