‘Nobody’s hands are clean’: Obama urges reflection amid Israel-Hamas conflict - eviltoast

Former President Barack Obama cautioned against ignoring the complexities of the Israel-Hamas war, warning that “all of us are complicit.”

“If you want to solve the problem, then you have to take in the whole truth. And you then have to admit nobody’s hands are clean, that all of us are complicit to some degree,” he said in an excerpted interview with Pod Save America released Saturday.

    Are the cartels armies?

    In some capacity yes.

    If a cartel attacks Mexico, should Mexico just bomb their entire city?

    That’s a different question entirety unrelated to if they’re armies or not. 1940s Japan certainly had an army, but did that justify nuking and firebombing cities?

      This is nothing like Japan. This is like Vietnam where America invades a country it isn’t supposed to be and “self defences” all over the place
