Do you understand why Trump has lifted the oil sanctions that were punishing Iran, the country he’s bombing, and Russia, the country that’s helping it?
Do you understand why Trump is sending 5,000 Marines to sail through the Strait of Hormuz while complaining that none of our friends and allies will help him reopen it?
Here's the whole explanation.
@gleick @gregatron5 posting as someone who was going to read the article but didn't because of where it's hosted:
Snapping at someone for pointing out people's discomfort with a platform that openly defends hosting of literal Nazis is really disappointing.
Guess I'll just scroll past all of your posts now, because this response has left a bitter taste in my mouth.
@HunterZ @gregatron5 I'm the one who was snapped at. My idea of common courtesy is this: If you don't want to read an article because you don't like the platform that hosts it, don't read the article. Or, if you must, reach out to the article's author. It's neither necessary nor appropriate to scold someone for posting a link to it.
Life is too short, and there’s already enough unpleasantness.
