You don't think the all those protests across the world hold any water?  What are they doing if not trying to stop a genocide?  I don't understand.

The Christian right will never give up Israel.  Trumpies have already given up the free market.  Fuentes is a clown.

If you believe there is a genocide then the most important thing is to stop it.  It wouldn't matter who you have to align with to do it.  And really, is Fuentes any worse than the Palestinian resistance?  They say and want pretty much the same thing.

Well good for fucking them.

And just stopping support for Israel wouldn't stop shit, so the whole idea of "OH NOS WE MUST STOP GENOCIDE" doesn't hold water. The Palestinians and their allies are toothless non-entities, Israel doesn't need us to do whatever shit they want to do. But whatever good would be gained from not sending billions to a criminal regime run by a psycho like Netanyahu would be bitter if it resulted in any compromise with Fuentes and his gang.

From Putin on Trump's 28 point surrender plan:

I believe that it, too, can form the basis of final peace settlement

He is not even making it a secret that he will not stop at it even if Ukraine agrees.

Google is one of many many many poster children for why monopolies shouln't be allowed. The government should have broken up Google a decade ago.

What would be achieved by breaking up Google?  If you object to the way they operate search, or email, or youtube, how would breaking up the company change that?

Well now you are just asking Germany to reverse their entire military tradition.

Well I think Germany's done that itself with its infrastructure which had got worse so that only limited forces can be deployed, slowly

But yeah I get what I'm suggesting does go against every principle of Western defence procurement. Or indeed all procurement. "We want the MVP for this new IT system, to get it running quickly and making an impact. Therefore we have attached a 100 page document of highly specific, occasionally esoteric and often contradictory requirements."
