Nah, it accepts a link if you have it, but you can typically choose an image from gallery and creates a link with your home instance as the host.

I’ve never had a problem.

"…Are we the baddies? "

Blaming voters for the results of a liberal democracy is like blaming consumers who don’t recycle their plastic for climate change.

I’m writing in Lina Khan for president.

Every time he takes a step in the right direction he punishes that foot by shooting it

Well yea, the US has had imperial ambitions since its founding, but they definitely doubled down when their primary adversary set up camp in their backyard

How can we be totally fine with continuing to support and supply such a brazen and visible genocide?

yup.

I’m not saying there isn’t reason for those countries to want to joint an alliance against their imperialist neighbor, but honestly it’s kinda hard not to see how NATO’s influence has been abused for purposes other than defense.

I’m not sure who would say that it was to ‘stop NATO aggression’, but it’s not hard to imagine it as a some kind of response to NATO’s continued expansion around them.

NATO hasn’t been in any direct operations against Russia but they have been involved in the ME where they have been active.

I think of it a lot in the same way as the US’s pacific ocean and Caribbean territorial expansion and involvement in central america as a response to the Cuban Missile crisis and Soviet posturing.

This would be less believable if we didn’t do it so goddamn often.

Commence downvotes butthurt tankies.

I’m honestly confused about who the tankies are supposed to be at this point. Downvotes for what?

Quiet, rebel scum!

While I agree it’s pretty damning, I’d point out that both parties are pretty desperate not to be blamed for the incident (or just generally sow confusion). It’s likely we won’t ever know definitively.

I’d also point out that because of the immense power imbalance (including the iron dome and broad western support) and a history of strikes against civilian targets generally (that Israel routinely warns Gaza about preemptively), it is more likely that it was an Israeli rocket responsible for the incident. But this is also conjecture and not conclusive.

If you’re looking for rationale to defend one side or the other, this probably isn’t it.
