Iran

[85SugarVol]

You've still not provided a single shred of proof to support your claims while I at least have the Google AI clearly saying that protecting Israel is one of the reasons the USS Gerald Ford was positioned next to Israel rather than elsewhere.

Nope. Here’s what you actually said, that I originally responded to -

The USS Gerald Ford has the most sophisticated anti-missile technology in our entire navy.

Ask your Google AI what the range of an Evolved Sea Sparrow is and see what it says. Hint: It’s not for intercepting ballistics headed to Tel Aviv.

Then ask your Google AI to explain to you Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense equipped Cruisers & Destroyers for the correct answer.

The interpretation of what the money is for, the impact it has, and the end goal is where the conspiracies live.

An example of my point posted by you (bold by me):

No. The world is better without Netanyahu and the Israelis behind the Epstein mafia that has controlled this country.

So you think they're giving these politicians all that money out of the goodness of their hearts? They're definitely not asking for anything right? I mean their name stands for the "American Israeli Public Affairs Committee ". They're obviously not advocating for Israeli interests? Right?

 

[SquirrelOrange3]

At least the Israelis refusing Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian, Thai, and Black African laborers protection in bomb shelters aren't antisemitic. That's why we support this:

Perhaps, but those types would whine about anything.

Until then, if they're footing the bill, they can whine all they want.

Also, "Israel".

Oh ffs

Exactly how does American soldiers dying halfway across the world in the Middle East benefit us?

Benefit you and me? Aside from oil, I have a hard time finding a benefit. From Uncle Sam's perspective, it is the same old if our enemies do better, America must be losing. I hate the zero sum game of international politics.

Didn't Donald Trump get elected arguing against these very wars in the Middle East?

I think his position is generally war is a waste of resources. But his rhetoric is about "tough talk". I believe he campaigned as against wars.

Oh ffs

"ffs" what?

 

[volsforever27]

"ffs" what?

I made a typo while multitasking, let it go.

Never affirmed that.

Never affirmed that.

Of course they are. Never affirmed they weren't.

I simply pointed it out. There's other content in the post.

 

[Vol737]

“Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told reporters Monday that there are no US boots on the ground in Iran right now, but he added that he would not discuss whether the military would consider sending in ground troops in the future.

“No,” Hegseth said when asked if there were American boots on the ground. “But we’re not going to go into the exercise of what we will or will not do.”

Translation: They’re considering boots on the ground.

Just about a guarantee CIA is there. If they’re going to do this, it probably starts with logistics of putting weapons in the hands of the Iranian people.

China is playing a huge role in this. I'm not sure the average person realizes how much oil China buys (bought) from Venezuela and Iran.

Oct 7th wouldn't have happened had the US not been handcuffing Israel for decades.

I agree completely.

Guess the Republicans want to hand congress back to the democrats because that's exactly what will happen if these morons think Americans have appetite for another Iraq quagmire.

 

[DinkinFlicka]

Damn, you beat me.

BOT still gets big pissy when I bring it up in the RF ha.

I'm glad the legacy persists.

 

[Orangeslice13]

So you didn't read the article.

Yes I’ve read about 100 of them.
I’m very aware of the actual facts

I don't think it would be wise for him to categorically rule out any military option just like I don't think it would be wise for him to say yeah, the 75th and 82nd are preparing to seize Tehran's airport. Keep the world guessing.

 

[DinkinFlicka]

How are they unstable?

Lobbing rockets to and from neighbors.

they do. Russia also buys from Iran. And because we are tangled up in international affairs by acting as "world hall monitor" we 'have to do something' to be a burden to our enemies.

Silly goyim. Bomb shelters are only for us.

 

[Orangeslice13]

Wildly ironic post is wildly ironic.

 

[hog88]

Lobbing rockets to and from neighbors.

So when they are attacked Israel should not respond?

Agreed. He has to publicly take the position that all options are on the table.

With that said, I don't wanna see a single American fighting over there.

 

[DinkinFlicka]

Never said that.

I just don't think it's a stable entity that is worth the blood and money we've put up.

Buckle up, buttercup.

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

Never affirmed that.

Never affirmed that.

Of course they are. Never affirmed they weren't.

So then what's your problem with my claims? They make you feel a certain way? You've not stated a logical reason why an Israeli advocacy group being the main funder of congress isn't placing the interests of Israel over that of America.
