minus-squarestoy@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6arrow-down2·23 days agoIt absolutely is a strawman, no one mentioned Israel in the discussion before you, it is also not a reason to stop increasing defense spending right now that we need to defend against Russia.
minus-squareOBJECTION!@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down4·23 days agoThe fact that nobody mentioned Israel is the point. I stg. It isn’t a “strawman” to point out possible unintended consequences of supporting a policy. “I think I should jump off a tall building.” “Are you crazy? You’ll die!” “Wow, what a strawman. Nobody even said anything about dying. I don’t support falling to my death, only the jumping.”
