    Yes, because not doing something is so time consuming. When it comes to Gaza/Palestine/Israel…. He could have sat around with his thumb up his ass and done a better job.

    But since you want to make this about broader issues, and to go with your analogy… no I don’t want Rome rebuilt in a day. I want it rebuilt to code. There’s a difference and he’s taking shortcuts and fucking Americans over to protect the corporations that own him.

      Not doing something is time consuming, when it’s entrenched in decades of policy and military strategy.

      I don’t know if you noticed but the US is all about force projection and proxy wars. Destabilize strong small governments in remote regions, upend the local economies, and cause dependence on US capital.

      How is any president going to starve those dogs without getting bitten?

      Obviously something needs to be done about it, but lying all that blame at the feet of one dude is pretty dumb.
