The Pentagon said Monday that the US is sending a “few thousand” additional troops to the Middle East to bolster security and prepare to defend Israel if needed, The Associated Press has reported.
The deployment will include squadrons of F-15, F-16, F-22, and A-10 fighter jets and the personnel needed to support them. The squadrons were initially set to deploy to the Middle East so that other fighter jets could rotate out, but now they will all stay to increase US air power.
The day before the announcement, President Biden was asked if he would be sending more troops to the Middle East and replied, “No.”
The deployment comes after the Israeli killing of Hassan Nasrallah and the Israeli slaughter of hundreds of Lebanese civilians since Israel dramatically escalated its bombing campaign in Lebanon last week. The US support for Israel’s attacks on Lebanon could provoke attacks on US forces in the region, or the US could directly intervene to defend Israel.
Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh said the deployment is for “the protection of US forces,” not to assist in evacuations. Last week, Singh said the US was bolstering its forces in the region “should we need to come to the defense of Israel.”
On Sunday, the Pentagon announced Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin ordered an aircraft carrier strike group and an amphibious assault group to stay in the region. The Pentagon also issued a warning to Iran on Sunday, saying Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin “made clear that should Iran, its partners, or its proxies use this moment to target American personnel or interests in the region, the United States will take every necessary measure to defend our people.”
Ah, this is how the sh-t starts….
A few thousand troops, a few thousand targets.
No,the shit was started b yHam and Hez.
I know you feel that way Jake and I am sorry that you do. Peace takes all sides, to get there and I truly hope and pray, we will all get there because that really is how it should be.
More disgusting escalation and aiding in genocide. Genicide joe living up to his name.
No,it is to the advantage of theUS to prevent a war between Israel and Iran.
Tell that to the neocon crazies like Bolton and Graham

How about defund!!!
Never will happen. But, more money will be thrown in the gutter for Wash. endless wars to enrich those who profit from war, killing and destruction; it's their livelihood, you see.
Never is a long time. Both domestically and internationally, a lot of things are changing.
Pure evil, and all will pay the price, a heavy price. 🙁
People want to defund the police,and then cry when they ket mugged.
Nice to see you lie about something other than Israel for a change, Sully.
Over 100 Americans dead in the hurricane. Billions of $$$ worth of damage. Those "few thousand" troops will definitely be put to good use to help with the clean up. With this Harris-Biden regime it's always "America Last".
How does an F-15 help clean up a hurricane? Sound like something Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) Trump would say.
Think he means using our tax money to help Americans, not a racist, apartheid, genocidal regime in Tel Aviv.
Do you hate Israel?
I don't 'hate' anything or anybody, because I know I would become what I hate the most. That happened to Israel, they hated the Nazis so much, they became just like them, i.e. racist, genocidal and war mongering.
Because they refuse to submit to terrrorism and slaughter,refuse to submit to hate and madness.
israel is all those things you just condemned, nice work Jake. 🙂
Who, Hamas and the Hezbollese?
Look at your sudden turn to honest, joke !
This started in 1948 and has continued up to this point. If your home and land was confiscated and destroyed by an apartheid, colonial power, you would do the same. Your position is out of gas and Zionism hasn’t a leg to stand on in this debate.
Good that you don't hate Israel, many do on this site. Do you think Israel has a right to exists as a nation?
Not with the current regime in power. I support a two state solution and making Jerusalem (city of peace) neutral as an international free zone policed by the UN.
Question: "Do you think Israel has a right to exists as a nation?"
Answer: "Not with the current regime in power." So you don't think Israel has the right to exists because you don't like current regime. Is that what you are saying?
As for Israel giving up Jerusalem to be a neutral city, that will not a happen. Two state solution, maybe if the Palestinians give up their dream of destroying Israel and learn to live in peace.
Jerusalem isn’t Israel’s to “give up.” It’s outside Israel.
IDIOT.
Lemme explain this to you AGAIN.
Country = lines on map.
Nation = citizens / civilians, and culture
State = the GOVERNMENT and the systems of rule.
If you pretend not to understand after THIS simplification of a previous simplification, then Timothy, you are a f**king LIAR.
The Palestinians are victims of an apartheid, colonial power in Tel Aviv who have had their lands and homes destroyed and confiscated since 1948, along with a slow, but now, a quick genocide. You know that. They look on the subject much differently than you do, and if it happened to you, you wouldn’t have the same opinion.
I hate all war criminals and their supporters.
That means you!
Hate is not healthy and you are healthily peaceful!
Hated of injustice has driven nearly every significant liberation movement of the past 3 centuries.
dream, not wise to hate any one, but to strive to stop the evil and support the good and the light, not darkness. We cannot compromise with the evil.
To each his own.
It really DOES mean him. And lowercase joke jake.
Israel has a right to exist within its legal borders, not the occupied land it illegally controls.
When will the Likud abandon its 1977 Charter defining Israel as from “the river to the sea” ?
They already have their own nation, the USA, Timmy.
It is hard to like a country that both kills and basically imprisons so many Palestinians, yet, as a person, who wants peace for the world, peace in the M.E. Would be a good start…
Do you hate Christian Arabs ?
I love all Christian and Muslim "Arabs" and I respect all, until they give me a very good reason not too, and I know many of them. Jews too.
Most of the world hates Israel by now. The Israelis made sure of that.
I hate no one, not even you, but I despise Israel, and the evil that festers there, and in DC, must be dealt with once and for all and not with genocide as Israel clearly believes in and is doing.
Do YOU have an original thought, ever ?
No, I know that what a person hates the most, they will eventually become, just as Israel hated the Nazis, they have become just like them. Hate rewires the brain because it, like love on the other side of the spectrum. Strong emotions have strong reactions in the brain, leading to profound personality changes.
And it is not the first time, recall the train wreck in Palestine, has it ever been cleaned up and possible compensation for the victims?
It’s “America Last” under this Harris-Biden regime and the Uniparty Congress of Mike Johnson and Chuck U. Schumer.
Donald Trump and his unabashedly “America First” policies are the only hope we’ve got of change.
Trump did not come through with his promises. The man has no coherent policies and really is lacking self-discipline, he is irrational and unpredictable and too lazy to bother to inform himself. He does not have what it takes to be a real leader and statesman. Harris is an immature woman, she has no knowledge and coherent policies, she did nothing as VP, she could have shown some interest in family issues and policies like affordable childcare and family leave, and paid maternity leave. She likes the benefits and to play VP and would have the same attitude if she were elected president.
Trump is flawed, but KamaLaLa is a disaster. I wish we had different choices but Trump 2024 it has to be.
One is as bad as the other, they differ in style but are equally incompetent servants of Israel, disaster for the blue planet. Neither one has leadership qualities. They were never really interested in the welfare of the American people, they only know their own and millionaire friends needs.
Trump had a great first run considering how he was attacked by both sides non stop from governing and as soon as Bidet became POTUS that all stopped and he rules like a king, dictator and no one now seems to care!! Trump 2024. RFK, ViVek,Tulsi in any combination 2028!!!
Interesting how things were back then in whatever universe you migrated from to this one circa 2021.
Thomas, we agree on a few things, disagree on a few things. I can deal with those disagreements, hope U can too. 🙂
because trump didn't
It is not a 2-party race. Find a candidate and party whose ideals most closely match your own (read their websites) and vote for them.
Up here we have sites like this :
https://www.voxpoplabs.com/votecompass
Answer questions in a variety of sociopolitical topics and it'll give you how closely you align to all of the parties on the ballot.
Reality check: It IS a 2 party race. You have a choice of either President Trump or President Kamala. If you want another 4 years of what we've had under Biden-Harris vote for the latter.
Reality check:
I don’t get to choose President Trump or President Kamala.
Neither do you.
We’re each more likely to win the Mega Millions jackpot every week for the next five weeks than to cast the deciding vote in a single state, let alone a state that moves the electoral college needle past 270 for either candidate.
Do I WANT another four years of what we’ve had under Biden, Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Reagan, Carter, Nixon, Ford, and LBJ?
No.
Does my vote have any effect on whether I GET another four years of what we’ve had under Biden, Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Reagan, Carter, Nixon, Ford, and LBJ?
No.
Neither does yours.
As for it being a two-party race, I suppose it’s possible that that’s the case in your state. I have my Florida ballot in front of me right now (getting ready to mail it today or tomorrow, or maybe take it directly to the elections office). Here, it’s a seven-party race. I’ve chosen the candidate I prefer. That candidate won’t win because I voted for him. But neither would Trump or Harris have won because I voted for one of them, if I’d voted for one of them.
Your vote is your voice, and that’s about all it is. You get to say who you’d rather have, but you don’t get to decide who wins.
Those are facts. You don’t have to like them. They’re facts whether you like them or not.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b6ec7d254ebc3449bb7b7bbf5b70135621f08bea0370d93aaf795fdacff8310c.jpg
Again, the fact remains that it will be either Trump or Kamala as President for the next 4 years. (Provided Trump can manage to avoid assassination) I’m sure Chase Oliver is a very nice guy with some good ideas but he’s got no chance of becoming President under our system of government.
Yes, either Trump or Harris will be elected (assuming they both survive the election cycle).
Your vote won’t decide which one wins and which one loses.
Your vote is just speech, your declaration of your preference.
Same with my vote. Since I don’t prefer either of them, I’m didn’t pretend I prefer either of them by casting my vote for one of them. Why lie when it makes no difference?
False. Libertarian and Green both run candidates, among other “3rd” parties.
Do not buy into the false dichotomy fallacy of “it has to be Dems or GOP”.
When was the last time a 3rd party candidate won a US Presidential election?
Could be this time. Could have been last time. Could be ANY time that enough people abandon the “only red or blue” trope.
H. Ross Perot made a decent effort that time.
The point is not to vote for who’s most likely to win (that’s how the NY Yankees seem to have billions of hat- and jersey-wearing fans across the known universe) – it’s for each person to vote for the candidate or party that best represents their personal ethos.
“Unabashedly” does not mean “badly pretended.”
Sadly our LAST hope.
If Trump is your last hope, you have no hope — so why pretend otherwise?
if Trump is last hope then I'd run to Poutain
Don't buy false hope
But Trump is irrational and unpredictable. It is really “Trump first” , he is convinced he is entitled to be president.
OF COURSE the train wreck won't see federal attention or money. AIPAC would lose its s**t and Congressman would lose their next election if a slim dime went to anything named Palestine.
By the same token I fear for any calamity to befall Moscow, Idaho.
how many hours did it take for washington to convince themselves the lie that israel needs protection?
Maybe we all need protection Christian?….
;-/
Yeah but less for Israel considering they have nukes and could destroy the middle east if they wanted
we couldn’t destroy eastern europe
If Ukraine was not so stupid and kept the Soviet Union nuclear weapons, they would not be under attack right now.
we didn’t even know how to use them, they were expensive, they were bulky, and all around pointless to keep
Please, do some research!
Again, Well tiny little Israel not only knows how to use them they know how to build them. All Ukraine had to do was figure out how to replaced the arming and firing electronics. They were expensive, but not as expensive of being invaded. Useless? They would have protected Ukraine from an invasion.
You just better hope Harris wins, because Trump will let Ukraine get run over by Russia. How long do you think it will take for Ukraine to run out of ammo without resupply from NATO? I give then 3 to 6 months.
russia had the controls
you just say this stuff
and NATO is not just the USA… I hate american exceptionalists who go around like this playing like America is god.
Which part of replacing the electronics did you not understand? Once the firing electronics is replaced Russia is no longer under control. Ukraine had the war heads, they needed to redesign the controls. But I will admit that might have been too much technology for Ukraine to handle.
Yes NATO is not just the USA, but without USA support NATO will not support Ukraine. If Trump wins you find this out first hand.
Christian, you don't even know who your enemy really is, it is not Russia.
NATO isn’t invading us
if you think nato is are enemy you are sorely lacking in knowledge
NATO IS USING THE UKRAINE TO SERVE US INTERESTS. If lucky, a failed rump state will be all that is left of Ukraine.
Biden said, Putin must go, he picked Navalny to replace Putin, the elected president of the RF, and Austin said Russia must be weakened, Ukraine is not on their mind, that is why they blocked Ukrainian neutrality and the Minsk agreements. Who benefits from this war and who is losing? Use your brain, the American Military Industrial Complex is making tons of money, so does the financial sector in the USA. Cui Bono? Follow the money if you want to know.
The US is protecting its universal hegemony at the expense of the Ukraine and Europeans.
ok
Biden is forcing Zelensky and his Ukrainians to fight and die for an unconditional surrender.
I hope the Russians will be generous and humane in victory. I think the potential is there they are big enough to be generous and forgiving in victory.
Demented Biden is forcing Ukrainians to die for an unconditional surrender. The Americans are the enemy, Trump can't change that.
The Ukrainians lost the moment the neo-Nazis trusted Nuland and joined the USA regime change, that moment they lost their sovereignty. The Americans force an unconditional surrender on the Ukrainians and the Russians, they blocked any common sense negotiated end of the war.
Ukraine could have been neutral and prosperous like Austria, but it was Biden who said NO. The US neocon Biden is the enemy, it is his war for which Ukrainians and Russians and Americans are made to pay. The neocons are evil people, Trump is not about to change it.
It is to everyone's advantage that Isral not be forced to use nukes.
The Israelis are provoking the use of nuclear weapons, Israelis are playing with fire.
Ever hear of Directed Energy weapons,
Mr. Christian?!…. Ya know, like Star Wars?!…
sadly
Do even know what a directed energy weapons is?
Yep, been researching them for years… scary business…
Great, Tell me how they work and where are they used.
Pulsating energy in many directions, into the ionosphere and it also effects climate change. i.e. a weapon of potential mass destruction, environmentally and in actuality.
Missile Defense Shield…
Well Donna that is not how a direct energy weapon works. First directed weapons means the energy is concentrated onto a specific target. Is is not broadcast out in many directions, that would weaken the weapon.
Second the amount energy that is concentrated is so small compared to the energy usage of the world, it can not effect climate change.
Third it is not a weapon of mass destruction.
Story Tim but you are not well informed on this subject.
Well Donna teach me. Tell me why a weapon designer would expend energy into many directions. What is the point of directing energy into space where there is no threat?
And how in the heck is firing a big laser going to change the climate? A large laser uses about 300 kilowatts which is about what 250 homes uses. The Naval AN/SEQ-3 Laser Weapon System uses 50 kilowatts. By comparison humans uses 17,400,000,000 kilowatts. And we humas use this energy daily. Those weapons will not be fired every day. So with such small amount energy usage how again would they change the climate?
And finally, tell me how a weapon which is design to destroy electronics control systems of incoming missiles, drones and airplane is a weapon mass destruction?
Are Tim, not is…
Let us truly hope and pray for peace because WWIII won’t be pretty…
A can of Red Bull?
Lol!
tu tu du du
max verstappen!!!!!!!!
Pulsating electromagnetic energy into the ionosphere and elsewhere…
This is all about war profiteering and keeping the genocide going to eliminate the undesirables from Israel for more settlements. Isn't Wash. nice? using our taxes for all this while America crumbles.
i hate the actions of the israeli state as much as everyone else here
but america was crumbling before october 7th and february 24th as well
True, but it’s been more crumbly since then with all the billions given away to keep the war profiteers in the bucks.
ok
It’s crumbling much faster now, isn’t it?
Again, it you are truly a citizen of Ukraine, I would not be complaining about Washington polices. Ukraine would exists for maybe 3 months without the USA support.
Not true
The difference between US/NATO support and no US/NATO support is probably whether the Russian forces withdraw from Ukraine (other than Crimea/Donetsk/Luhansk) within single digit years or drag it out for a decade.
Yor are most likely right about the 10 year low level war that would follow once Russia crushes Ukraine main army, which they would do quickly without support from the NATO.
Perhaps the same amount of hours it took to convince themselves that Ukraine needed protection.
WTF is wrong with you? You now joining the Russian mafia here.
we actually do need protection from the horde from the east
thought it was hundred years ago we put them down, but the rus is still restless
but evr’y day the donbass is shaking with the sound of their attack
israel are now the horders
Washington is your ally, show some respect.
We should just make our own cruise missiles we are already making 1.5 million drones per year
(or we will next year this year we made 1 mil)
maybe by the time we have cruise missiles hitting Petropavolosk we will be able to fire patriots into russia
No more "Wounded Warriors" for Israel like in Syria and Iraq.
May 6, 2018 Sunday: Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu said, "we are determined to block Iran's aggression against us, even if this means a struggle. Better now than later."
July 15, 2019: Israeli Prime minister Benjamin Netanayhu said, "At the moment, the only army in the world to fight Iran – this is the Israeli army."
Oye vey!
A few thousand today, a few thousand later, a few thousand dead Americans, all to protect a racist, apartheid, genocidal regime in Tel Aviv which most Israelis still support.
Looks like Wash. is going to help Tel Aviv get their greater Israel in Lebanon as well as Gaza and the West Bank, with American lives and tax monies. I don't believe there has ever been a more insidious and evil regime in Wash. as the one today. And, I'm sure no matter who wins in 2024 it will be business as usual since the system is so corrupt, no matter which people are a part of it, it will be same ol' same ol'.
its cute when libretarians pretend they have control over their own money
i'm a socialist and I accept i don't
even if i were a rightist i would too
Not pretending, just stating a fact. State socialism was a complete failure everywhere it’s been tried. Read this for your enlightenment. https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/benjamin-r-tucker-state-socialism-and-anarchism

What on earth does whether or not I like you have to do with anything?
because anarchism would be a better and completely rational replacement
Ah, now you're talking sense!
hey – what? –
There has been a political coup in Washington DC and the Zionists have taken power over the Biden-Harris administration and they have control over the US military budget.
It's more like a Conspiracy than Coup d'état…!
The difference is they're willing rather than they're forced to…!
They took over three decades ago.
It happened when JFK was murdered! LBJ was their first tool, he proved it over the USS Liberty massacre!
You nailed it!
Thank you for being entirely correct!
My total respect!
According to Max Blumenthal, many, if not most congressmen/women have AIPAC contacts that keep close tabs on them.
Middle East is Not a country…!
"the deployment is for “the protection of US forces,” not to assist in evacuations"
So now they're changing their story. First everyone said the deployment of a battalion of 101st Airborne Division to Cyprus was for "evacuation support" – and people like Ritter bought this. I said it was to prepare for the deployment of the entire 101st Division.
Now they claim it's for "support of US troops in the region."
Well, of course it is – it you're planning a major war in the Middle East, those troops will need support.
Morons.
Why do they need assistance to evacuate, aren't they supposed to win and not run and hide? All they have to do is drop bombs on anything that moves, heroism without risk, what more can they ask for?
Here's my latest Substack on the interview this morning with Alastair Crooke – the ONLY analyst who "gets it" – on Judge Nap's show.

Uh, Israel hasn't been invaded. This should read: "US sending a "few thousand" troops to the Middle East to aid Israel in invasion of Lebanon ".
Washington DC seems incapable of telling the truth.
You correction is spot on.
And the Congress again is silent, Bidet/Harris Admin has declared war on Lebanon, Constitution is shredded. 🙁
I doubt Iran and proxies will strike anytime soon. They probably have come to the conclusion they have been infiltrated by US/Israeli intelligence. Their actions will be compromised if they take action now. Down the road is another matter.
Ghost of Orient Express shaping up in the distance…,
NO American can vote for this Genocide and voting for Harris/Trump is what you would be doing. Have Americans forgotten about the Rule of Law, the Constitution, Bill of Rights and how we as a Nation should amplify that? Our Government has become ruthless, diabolical, inhumane, just plain EVIL along the side of Genocidal Israel. Hasn't the USA killed enough defenseless people, enough children, enough mothers and fathers in this world, even our own Citizens used in senseless WARS? If Iran, Egypt, Jordan, etc., think their citizens are not going to rebel, because they did nothing, it will be worse for them then what Zionist USA/Israel will do to them for STOPPING a Genocide. I find it difficult to believe the USA would engage in such horrific, monstrous actions against people who just want their FREEDOM!
Of course Americans can vote for this genocide. They don’t require your permission.
Well said!!!
Also, you should like your own posts! I do like my own mostly.

They made me change my judgement of Hitler. I used to believe he was one of a kind, not anymore, he has lots of company, now I can see it.
Ginah, truly EVIL rules in D.C., Purge the DC Ghouls.!!
I would rather, the US position be defending peace, entirely, for everyone. We give Israel a s-it ton of money and weapons annually, which makes us complicit to the problem, not the best way to b.
The mad dogs are on the lose, the only way to deal with the problem is to put them under, they can't be cured, they only get worse, it is hopeless.
Instead of spending all this money on wars, we should spend that money on insane asylums to put the people who get us into wars into.
And the world would be a better place.
There is a place not far from where I live. Patton State Hospital in San Bernardino, CA.
Sounds like a nice place for deranged people.
Is it for the CRIMINALLY insane? That's what we're dealing with here.
”Kick the tires! Light the fires!”
We are officially at war.
Duh!
Israel is a nuclear power but is not a participant in any nuclear treaty. The modern state of Israel was born in the ashes of Treblinka and other such places where 6-million Jews were exterminated. They will do anything and everything they can to make sure that never happens again. That includes the use of nuclear weapons. The U.S. movement of assets in the area could keep that from occurring.
Israel is a racist, apartheid war criminal nation.
End all US aid to Israel!
How would that help the Palestinians? If we cut off aid to Israel, they would expel the Palestinians from Gaza. That’s what the Israeli far right wants to do. If the Israelis were free from the constraints that the U.S. imposes, they would be more aggressive than they are now.
“If the Israelis were free from the constraints that the U.S. imposes, they would be more aggressive than they are now, at least until the ordnance ran low and the welfare checks stopped coming.”
Fixed, no charge.
The US imposes constraint on Israel? Where did you get that idea?
Cutting off aid would weaken Israel militarily and economically. making it less able to terrorize its neighbors and the Palestinians. Israel would need to compromise to survive.
US restraint of Israel is an illusion.
It would make them more desperate and willing to be more barbaric. They have all the weapons they need to prosecute the actions they have started.
“more barbaric”
If Israel is such a danger to its neighbors and world peace, then it is a terrorist nation and should not be supported.
At this point, the US is hip deep in Muslim blood, fighting Israel’s wars since 1991.
Are you trying to suggest that Hamas and Hezbollah are not racist, terrorist entities on the border of Israel?
I’m not sure whether or not that’s what he was “trying to suggest,” but yes, Hamas and Hezbollah are racist, terrorist entities on the border of Israel, and Israel is a racist, terrorist entity on the borders of Palestine and Lebanon.
Hadn’t given it much thought because my country is not funding Hamas or Hezbollah, although Israel has extensively funded Hamas. I don’t see any US sanctions for supporting terrorism. which at this point has become a term much abused by Zionists and US/NATO..
Who says they are terrorists? Hamas and Hezbollah are no such thing, they are legally fighting a brutal illegal occupier, called Israeli Zionists, for their very own human rights.
You are misguided. I’m sure that you mean well, but you are tragically misguided. And ignorant.
Could you please make the case to prove me wrong. You say I am ignorant, prove it, allegations are disguised lies.
"allegations are disguised lies"
99% of your comments are allegations. The other 1% is you wondering why, how, anyone could possibly doubt your allegations.
Prove it, your allegations are lies. You are the liar. You can’t deal with the difference of opinions.
Why can’t you make your case, your allegations don’t prove anything, why not prove me to be ignorant? It should be so easy, why can’t you do it, what about one lie out of 99%?
I have no problem with a difference of opinion.
Most opinions are allegations. And opinion allegations don’t require proof. They’re just opinions, even if they’re dressed up as factual claims.
For example, your recent comment:
“Biden is forcing Zelensky and his Ukrainians to fight and die for an unconditional surrender.”
No evidence. No proof. Just your opinion, phrased as an allegation against Biden.
No biggie. We’re all entitled to our opinions, including you.
Biden blocked diplomatic negotiations and compromise to end the war. Boris Johnson came all the way from London to tell Zelensky not to accept the negotiated agreement with Russia, to keep fighting, the US/NATO will support Ukrainians until the last man standing, independent experts agree that Ukraine can’t win the war. That means a military solution is the only way out, without negotiation and compromise, Russia is forced to beat Ukraine to total unconditional surrender.
That is my rational conclusion based on publicly available information, yes an opinion, but NOT an allegation.
ALLEGATION >a claim or assertion that someone has done something illegal or wrong, typically one made without proof. Since English is not my primary language I am picky when it concerns the meaning of words.
“We’re all entitled to our opinions, including you.” Thanks for your generosity. (LOL)
The happenings of last October are not allegations. They happened. They were perpetrated by a terrorist group, Hamas. Saying Hamas is not a terrorist group is like being a holocaust denier. Perhaps in a parallel universe Hamas isn’t a terrorist organization, but in this universe they are.
Without any concrete evidence what you have are allegations.
Allegation:
a statement that someone has done something wrong or illegal, made without proof that this is true:
Like the old Irish Republican Army from their war of Independence 1919 – 1921 against British colonialism. The repressed and abused natives considered them protectors and freedom fighters. On the other hand the British considered them “terrorists”
Similarly, the Continental Army was perceived as a rebel and terrorist group by the British occupiers. In the eyes of the beholder what were they ?
Are Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis terrorists groups ? Just because the corrupt State Department and the equally corrupt UK and EU say so does not make it a truism.
So, the usual canard is applied “ one man’s freedom fighter is another man’s terrorist “ Take your pick
Well said.
Who is suffering from the illusion that the US is restraining Israel?
Louielouis above
But they are joined at the hip, they will go down together.
Is anything Biden does legally binding? He is demented, any child can see that.
Jesus fucking hell
Our troops have no business being sent there. None. It is not "defending the U.S.".
If US troops wind up involved in coming to Israel’s aid, it will split the US apart as well. Troops are already there in support of actions even the President has (publicly) said he doesn’t fully approve of. Getting involved in combat without having any input into how the war is conducted would be pretty stupid.
Well, Biden can always claim the excuse of dementia, he is bat shit crazy.
Oh hell, in war you shoot at them, they shoot at you.
That is a vast UNDER STATEMENT!
Remember the Liberty?…

Elizabeth Willing Powel:
"Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?"
Benjamin Franklin:
“A republic, if you can keep it.”
We obviously couldn’t ….. and now we have neither, but instead an unelected, elitist imperial oligarchy of ethic less and honor less war-criminal rulers. And the only remaining viable alternative? That long avoided and perpetually slandered, ‘anarchy’ with No Rulers!
Considering how inept Biden has been and his ability to screw things up, when he says he has your back you might well be in for more trouble.
