At this point, US should just refuse to comment when asked instead of humiliating themselves daily.

Pwetty pweeaase stop murdering our citizens, or mommy is gonna get really mad.

Really gives the vibe of a helicopter parent that thinks anything her kid does could only ever amount to something worth a mild scolding.

And what that kid does is daily school shootings. Especially at the kindergarten and the Nurse’s Office

“stop shooting the UN peacekeepers” says the US soldier that’s hand reloading an Israeli soldiers magazine, slipping it into the gun that Israeli is actively aiming, and lovingly brushing the dust off his shoulders…

Who am I kidding. You can’t tell anyone anything when their dick is still burried in your throat.

I wish the US had the urge not to send/sell the bullets that are being used to fire at UN peacekeepers.

At what point do UN troops have authority to shoot back?

I think they can fire back if fired upon. The issue is probably one of escalation where they’re heavily outgunned.

There was an interview with the mother of one of the Irish contingent on the radio here the other day and she said they sat in their bunker for 26 hours straight.
