Your teqr$ end here. Tell me, which country in the world can stop USA? All you people can do is just cho cho cho and nothing more. If USA decides to nuukke any country today, let me know who can stop them.

It's not about the ability to stop the US; their power doesn't grant them moral superiority. Hitler's Germany at one point had the mightiest military and economy, but was it a moral superpower?

And in case you're not a student of history, go and read up about how mightier empires rose and crumbled. The Roman empire and the British empire at some point were great powers.... where are they now?

The Gulf States can absolutely crumble the US by a single act: once they stop selling oil solely in US dollars, the dollar (which not backed by gold but by the price of oil) will become a useless paper and then the power of the US federal reserve to print any amount it wishes will dminish as inflation will spiral, countries will call up their debt out of the 37 trillion US deficit, and the US economic and military machine will become unsustainable.

So yes, the same Arab countries you all vilify, without thinking why the US is so friendly and protective of Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain despite being Islamic societies, are the same forces that can unravel the US hegemony.

They have save millions of life and some of your ancestors may have benefited through there USAID

Arguably so, but everyone (except perhaps you) know that USAID is not truly an altruistic organization. It's a form of foreign policy for domestic control of certain societies and economies. If you receive their aid, they'll meddle in your politics and economics and society. That's why they send socalled election observers to supposedly sovereign nations, and even dictate their preferred candidate and pass judgement on outcomes of elections, and impose sanctions where they wish to exert influence.

My ancestors may have benefited from their "generosity", but your parents probably still live off the morsels they toss at them.

It is time for Israel to end ~~the war~~ genocide in gaza.

Fighting terrorism is never easy, fighting a faceless and hidden enemy can be very tiring and difficult but the rate innocent children are being killed is a cause for concern.

Plus Israel doesn’t seem to understand they are in fact raising a new generation of terrorists that would afflict them, these Palestine children might not fully understand what is going on but they can see; when they grow up i can’t imagine what would be on their agenda for Israel. It is a lose-lose situation.

I am sure you or any of your loved ones have not been a victim of kidnappers or bandits.

Our mentality changes when we become victim of what we support.

There are some conservative Men of God who sees divorce as taboo but their mentality towards divorce changed after their own marriage crashed.

Why are terrorists more important to the US more than Christians?
Do you know the number of Christians that have been killed in your own country's Northern Nigeria this year ?

As the UN ever mentioned this ?
Israel is simply struggling to exist amongst terrorist nations. If Israelis were weak people they would have been obliterated..

Those presidents on the side of Hamas do not understand what Israel is fighting for. Released hostages confirmed that many hostages in Gaza are being fed with faeces and some asked to dig their own grave. Terrorists are truly dangerous.
ISRAELI PM NETANYAHU MADE IT CLEAR AT THE UNGA THAT IF THE REMAINING 48 HOSTAGES ARE FREED TODAY, THEN THE WAR ENDS TODAY, PERIOD.

Who told you they support Hamas? They don't just support the sickening genocide going on.

This is good news and good for democracy.

I told someone if you think Israel was not aware of October 7 attack, you are joking. Israel is very much aware of the attack before it's happened. Israel needed a platform to carry out their agenda on Palestine and Gaza. Though Iran nuclear weapons is their target too.

Nothing takes Isreal by surprise. October 7 attack was a bet.

Israel was unaware but the Egyptian intelligence had warned them that Hamas was planning something, that they should be on guard but they did not take the advice seriously.

You watch too much Hollywood movies so you believe they are almighty, even without wars their armaments suffer daily losses in US territory, all they do is to propagate themselves as invisibles through movies and news network, not really the situation on ground… Don’t get me wrong, I love the US but they are doing too much recently against what they claim to represent.

The United Nations headquarters should be relocated to a neutral country.
It has lost its relevance being in America.
America does not respect the rule of international laws.
It supports genocide.
It supports terrorism.
It supports warmongering.
The world should not fold its arms and watch United Nations fall to ruin, because it can no longer meet its obligations to member nations.
Especially now that we have an awkward bull in the White House.

you are right. It should be relocated to Iran.

There's no president on the side of Hamas. And I don't think any right thinking person will support Hamas. What we are all saying is that Isreal should not in any way bomb without caution. They've been bombing with reckless abandon for human life's. These things are not in our door steps , so its easy not to have an iota of compassion for these innocent people caught up in these war. I hope these doesn't happen to someone dear to you. Because you wouldn't say this, if that were the case.

mention a war where innocents were not killed,

you have to do everything within your power not to trigger war or run away if you cannot prevent it

if you cannot criticize hamas, you have no moral right to criticize isreal

if isreal surrenders without getting their hostages back,, hamas will kidnap more hostages and expect isreal not to retaliate

Colombia's first leftist President, Gustavo Petro has been a strong voice against Israel, calling the Gaza war 'a genocide' and accusing Trump of complicity. At the UNGA, he said Diplomacy and words isn't working on the Gaza situation and proposed the UN to vote for a very powerful army with guns and weapons, drawn from countries that do not support the genocide to defend Palestine.

After his speech at the UNGA, he joined a 'Free Palestine' rally on the streets of New York, urging the US Army to disobey the orders of President Donald Trump.

I often hear this position and wonder how folks like you view the world. I also recollect the same argument about the China/US trade war.

I just want to ask this question. If the Middle East doesn't want to sell oil to the US or China doesn't want to trade with the US, who will they trade with, who will they earn money from, whose else's debt will be worth it. If the US suddenly stops buying China's goods or mideast oil what do you think will happen to those economies.

I also think these global incidents are also playing into the hands of the US right wing that projects a more isolationist policy. Remember, during Trump's first term. He actually wanted to pull the US out of the UN, out of all global conflicts and of all Presidents lately tried to deescalate with Russia, North Korea and China. Even the Taiwan issue he is not committed to. The American right wing wants out of global issues.

So I don't see how the US is the pre eminent force of evil around the world as a lot of people perceive. They intervene and people have an issue with that. But they have always intervened. They stop and pull out of countries, organisations and causes and then people have an issue with that as well.

Remember that in 1941 the US was invited into the second world war by Europe after years of hesitation and a non interference policy. In the East their territories were attacked by Japan. That is what brought them to the global stage. They supplied arms to Russia to survive Hitler. They fought to liberate China from Japanese occupation.

The US today is largely a construct of the world"s issues, a time machine to reflect the good, the bad and the ugly in all of world history over the last 100 years. That is a fact.

In another 100 years I will not be surprised if Israel be omes the number one critic of the US just like Macron and others are doing. By the way it was the Europeans that helped to locate and establish the state of Israel right where it is today, not the US.

You speak from an angle of ignorance.

The UN is a neutral ground and every nation deserves representation. Asking Trump to stop bullying nations is never something bad whether in Chicago or in Sofia, it's a call for humans to be humans and not treat others even less than chickens.

I hate Hamas and their propaganda machine but when you see flesh eating freemasons without mercy their hearts dropping bombs in hospitals and over IDP calling it a war against terrorism then run away before humanity leaves your conscience.
