“In World War II, we did not negotiate a surrender with the Nazis, we did not negotiate a surrender with the Japanese. We nuked the Japanese twice in order to get unconditional surrender, that needs to be the same here,” Fine added.
Never trust anyone who traffics in rhetoric like this, full stop.
All wars have negotiated ends because they are called genocides when they don't.
In World War II, we did not negotiate a surrender with the Nazis, we did not negotiate a surrender with the Japanese.
We did both of these
Yes, and why was it not mentioned immediately after his quote in this article, let alone challenged immediately after he said it? Historical illiteracy is so common in news reporting. It's embarrassing.
and why does he care so much, hes not even israeli!
Because they pay him to.
I think he wants to cheer for the genocidal team this time to balance it out.
That and we repeatedly tried negotiating with Japan before nuking them, then tried negotiating before doing it again.
Fine is a former gambling industry executive who drove loyalty programs to prey on gambling addicts. And before that he worked at McKinsey and Lehman Brothers.
As of we needed any more evidence that this guy was a piece of shit.
Collective punishment is a war crime.
Indiscriminate use of force is a war crime.
Disproportionate use of force is a war crime.
He's openly calling for war crimes. Send him to The Hague.
Unfortunately, back in the Bush years, a little while before the second gulf war, they passed a bill to invade the Hague if Americans got tried there. Folks will have to seek justice through other channels.
Bullets work on anyone no matter of how rich they are.
That would require soldiers to willingly invade the Hague.
I don't think the US military would do it.
Maybe he should be nuked? Oh noes did I advocate violence?
If we nuked Jerusalem these idiots wouldn't have anything to fight over.
This fucking MAGA Putz has been a Florida State Senator for a while now, being a total dick about everything, but he was only known to Floridians. For instance, in February, he introduced a bill to allow college studenta to carry firearms on campus (Florida recently lowered the age of handgun ownership to 18), and a month later, a guy shot up the FSU campus in Tallahassee, killing 3.
Now he gets to inflict his MAGA assholery on the entire nation.
You're welcome.
Wouldnt nuking Gaza be really really bad for Israel too? Its not like the fallout gonna stay in Gaza.
This shit isnt just malicious, its maliciously stupid.
It's not like maga can tell a good idea from a bad idea as it is.
These are the same dipshits that still love donnie dumbass, who apparently asked about nuking hurricanes.
Killing all of Gaza for the actions of one person? If that isn't absolutely insane I don't know what could be.
Dude wasn't even gazan wtf
Fascism requires war. The US will go to war, in the Middle East, in China, or helping Putin ruin Ukraine. These will be the kind of war you can't do on the cheap. There will be a draft. Hopefully, a lot of MAGAs will see their sons/grandsons hauled off to Basic.
Gaza has a population of over 2 million people, half of them children. Rep Randy is fine with the prospect of killing a million children. because of the deaths of two people
