    With who?? They don’t care about their ‘credibility’ with the global south. The western states love jerking each other off.

    Macron also made his point about double standards on the war in Gaza, acknowledging there was a perception the West has given a “free pass” to Israel.

    Yeah that’s just a perception I wouldn’t worry about it just optics is all

    These things are always put in the future tense. It seems like a common tactic. “So and so warns that such and such could happen”. Deaths in Gaza. Climate change. Anything that’s already happening, just make it future tense.

      Great way to absolve blame and say “Uh, see, I told you so!” While doing nothing to address the issue at the time (or ever).

    The US hasn’t had any credibility since Vietnam at the very least. Definitely lost any good will remaining when it lied about Iraq. Who in the year of our lord 2025 annoy domino would trust the US to not do evil shit? Do libs think North Korea and Iran are going to trust anything that comes out of our mouths?
