Only because Israel assassinated JFK. JFK was gonna have them sign up as a foreign agent and they couldn't have it.

What did the Israelis have to gain by assassinating JFK?

 

[MAD]

So saying not to kill kids is a killjoy? Was that joy not dampened by the 150+ dead children, but only dampened when someone brings it up? You really love finding one very dislikable propagandist and parroting everything they say

You are right, thank you.

My lip reading 101 thinks he says “Everyone”.

Which also makes sense to blame Trump for btw.

Golda Meir was jealous of Jackie. She wasn’t the best shot and missed.

Just responding to your dishonest statement regarding Rubio.

They didn’t have to register AZC under FARA duh. Isn’t that all the proof you need

 

[utvolpj]

Just responding to your dishonest statement regarding Rubio.

He said it. We had to join because the actions of Israel put US assets at risk. What part is dishonest?

Goodness gracious. You are a prime reason why I am more leery of who I may happen to sit near at UT games.

“We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action, we knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that if we didn’t preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties,” Rubio told reporters in Washington, D.C.

The above statement was in regards to the initial strike which was taking out their leadership. That is the attack that would precipitate an attack on American forces. The CIA provided the intel of the meeting.

After a reporter asked Rubio to clarify whether the United States was forced to strike because of Israel’s plans, the secretary said no.

You are right, thank you.

Trying to whatabout the bombing of an elementary school is pretty sick, you should reevaluate

 

[DinkinFlicka]

"This bombing should have been a Zoom meeting".

Hopefully this will teach everyone in the world that "these meetings can easily be delineated into an email."

I don't think this is really helping your case

First sentence in your link:

Iran accelerated its production of uranium enriched to near-weapons grade levels in November, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

'near-weapons grade' isn't weapons grade.

I've always wondered this and maybe one of you can answer.

If you don't get to the threshold for "weapons grade" what happens? Did it not meet the threshold for energy needed and it becomes a dirty bomb? A baby nuclear explosion? A thud with no reaction but a nuclear leak in a small area?

 

[EasternVol]

You are such a putz

If you say so. Is your problem diagnosed?

To be fair Jackie was an absolute smokeshow

Unsure how you are confused about this point

I gave the link to the exact question I asked. It was very simple. "Why did the United States choose to station the USS Gerald Ford next to Israel?"

Word for word what get (copy pasting your search)

The United States stationed the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) Carrier Strike Group in the Eastern Mediterranean primarily to deter regional adversaries—specifically Iran and Hezbollah—from entering the conflict between
Israel
and Hamas.
Reuters +2
The deployment served several critical strategic and operational purposes:

• Deterrence of Escalation: The primary mission was to prevent the localized war in Gaza from expanding into a broader regional conflict. Its presence sent a "strong signal" to any actor hostile to Israel that might consider taking advantage of the instability.
• Show of Support for Israel: Moving the world's most advanced aircraft carrier was a visible demonstration of the U.S.'s "ironclad support" for Israel's defense following the October 7, 2023, attacks.
• Operational Readiness: The carrier provided multidimensional capabilities, including:
  • Intelligence and Surveillance: Using advanced dual-band radar and aircraft to monitor threats at vast distances.
  • Air Superiority: Housing eight squadrons of attack and support aircraft ready for rapid response if needed.
  • Special Operations Support: Serving as a potential base for U.S. special operations forces, especially for potential hostage rescue missions.
• Strategic Buffer: The carrier's position acted as an "insurance policy," ensuring that any major retaliation against Israel would likely have to involve or bypass American naval assets, effectively raising the stakes for any aggressor.
  U.S. Naval Institute +10

The USS Gerald R. Ford was originally deployed to the Mediterranean in May 2023 to deter Russian aggression following the invasion of Ukraine. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin redirected it to the coast of Israel on October 8, 2023, and subsequently extended its deployment multiple times as regional tensions remained high

Unsure how you are confused about this point

Because then ol Rubio turned around and weaseled out the exact opposite of what he had just said. You know, as politicians do.

Remember again, this admin still hasn't figured out if we attacked to take out nukes, we attacked to prevent an attack, we attacked just because, or any number of reasons. We also will do a quick strike but maybe not, and Iranians can take back their country but maybe we need to do more.

Like I said, I'm young, but this whole thing is more farcical than anything I've ever seen. It's like a real life SNL skit, and I hate SNL.

 

[85SugarVol]

Hoping he’d have some spine but realistically not expecting it, no.

Nope, not much in the way of spine. Would you be willing to settle for spurs?

It's like Veep come to life. I need to rewatch that show

Same here. Unsure how this statement from Rubio means anything different.

After a reporter asked Rubio to clarify whether the United States was forced to strike because of Israel’s plans, the secretary said no.

No is a no in my world.
