THIS. Hasbarist trolls always pretend they’re swinging large, bragging about Israeli military might and strategic genius and technological supremacy. Why on Earth should our country, which does not offer anything like the safety net enjoyed by a citizen in Tel Aviv, get in the way of this one-man show? Who can justify any US citizen service member - especially understanding that most young men and women join to get some kind of future employment or educational opportunity - dying for another saber-rattling country? What sense does it make? How can anyone say this is in our best interest? |

Everything Trump touches dies...
https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03/03/world/iran-war-israel-lebanon-trump#iran-war-global-economy-warning The International Monetary Fund warned on Tuesday that the war with Iran could darken the global economic outlook if a prolonged regional conflict caused energy prices to spike. A senior fund official, Dan Katz, said that the war could be “very impactful on the global economy across a range of metrics,” pointing to inflation and economic growth. Oil and gas prices surged over the last 48 hours since the United States and Israel attacked Iran amid fears about disruptions to global energy supplies. “The persistence of the conflict in particular is going to drive most of the impact,” said Mr. Katz, who assumed the No. 2 role at the monetary fund late last year after serving as chief of staff to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. |

Trump: "I have ordered the US Development Finance Corporation (DFC) to provide political risk insurance and guarantees for the Financial Security of ALL Maritime Trade through Gulf. This will be available to all Shipping Lines. If necessary, the Navy will begin escorting tankers through the Strait"
Translation I WILL SPARE NO TAXPAYER DOLLAR TO MAKE SURE THAT I DONT HAVE TO ADMIT THAT I WAS WRONG BECAUSE I DONT WANT TO BE IN TROUBLE WITH MY OWNERS. |

Anyone who is supportive of tethering American interests to the interests of the State of Israel (and effectively subordinating those American Interests to the interests of the State of Israel) poses an existential threat to the United States of America.
Everything goes through that lens moving forward. |
| Does the Us even win wars anymore? We start them then walk away with trillions of dollars in the red |
|
The US is really desperate.trump is dragging us down. Apparently trump called Iraqis and asked them to fight Iran for him. The shamelessness would be hilarious if it wasnt tragic |
| This has to be pure mental illness/dementia. How can someone conduct a war like this with no plan? Now he’s scrambling |
Um, that's some big losses that the taxpayers may be absorbing there.... |
| Operation AIPAC fury |
That’s insane. Congress needs to tell him no. A clear unambiguous no. Taxpayers cannot cover political risk in the Gulf ever. And definitely not in the middle of a hot war. |
Shit, so our DoD wants our defense personnel to fight a religious war (like ISIS)! |
| How long do we have to invade all these countries to please a never satisfied and never safe Israel? |
Just need to take care of Turkey, Yemen and Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and then Israel will be satisfied. Hopefully, Israel can then accept a "Greater Israel" rather than the "Greatest Israel" |
