And even that lick spittle CoS Caine installed by Trump told the prez that last week, that the US lacked equipment and staffing to enter into this kind of military engagement. |
Ugh. This is why I’ve stopped talking politics with Jewish friends. Only one posts on IG, so I know her opinion. What does the Holocaust have to do with anything right now when Israel has killed tens of thousands of women and children and aid workers and doctors over the last few years?! |
Well, if we are going to engage in proxies, my friends in Ch Ch are not saying the same. Some may have mentioned that they view Iran as a threat to Israel, but not one supports the war or invokes the Holocaust. Also, what could Schumer do to stop it? Curious that you chose him as opposed to Thune and Johnson, who are the majority heads of their respective chambers. |
See 8:52. |

Because they believe in Zionism which is a form of racism and don't feel bad if brown people (or Americans for that matter) die for the sake of Israel. |
How many conversations about the war have you had with "all your Jewish friends in Chevy Chase?" since we started bombing on Saturday? You've been calling them all up? It's been 3 days.

Which ones are the brown people? The Iranians, Gazans, or Israelis? |
As a Jew in Chevy Chase, I am on the other side of your anecdote. |
Never said the GOP would stop it. Just that it could. If past is prologue, the GOP will cram itself into the justification MAGA bus. Would be nice to be pleasantly surprised for once though. -PP |
Iran is going to keep going after the gulf states. They are already running out of interceptors and the US is refusing to give them more. Those countries have significant pull with Trump and destroying their oil and gas infrastructure will cause worldwide economic damage. https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/us-stonewalling-requests-gulf-states-replenish-interceptors-sources-say |
I'm sure they are MIGA first and consider the USA just their second home loyalty. No surprise there. |

“Two Turkish journalists working for CNN Türk have been arrested by Israel for covering the Iranian counter attack on the country.
In their report, the Israeli police called them "two suspects equipped with cameras", language similar to that used to justify the mass murder of journalists in Gaza.” -crustnews https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/two-turkish-journalists-arrested-while-broadcasting-live-outside-idf-headquarters/ |
They are considered less than dogs by the people who support such slaughter, so they are not impressed with your concerns for dead Palestinians. Jews are God's chosen people to do as they please to others. I will be glad when they get rid of Chuck Schumer. He is worthless to everyone except Israel. |
Wonder how this will change the calculus of these countries in the future. It's clear that these countries can't rely on the US for protection. They thought hosting US forces would help protect them. Instead it's made them sitting ducks. Trump signed an executive order just a few months ago, which states "it is the policy of the United States to guarantee the security and territorial integrity of the State of Qatar against external attack." Now the US is saying well, too bad. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/09/assuring-the-security-of-the-state-of-qatar/ |
