Shhhh. Plenty of bûrkas and hiĵabs here. Just sit back and enjoy the flailing |
| No war declared since WWII. Take your pick. |
American Jews aren't anymore responsible for Israel's actions than Japanese and German Americans were for Japan and Germany's actions that led to WW2. Grow up. |
That ship sailed a long time ago. See Korean and Vietnam wars, both started by Democrats BTW. |
Congress has authorized military force on several occasions since then. But I'm sure you knew that. |
I’m a solid liberal and it makes me ill when other liberals are this poorly informed and are so outspoken about it. Truman-very famously authorized Korean War without congressional authorization Kennedy and Johnson authorized various military operations without acts of congress Are military was all over the world during the Clinton years! Many actions taken before congress was notified. Some as part of NATO—still pertinent. Obama—air strikes in Libya Biden—hello? Syria? This not even distant history. It might feel like this is way worse but I am in my 50s and I promise you that strikes on Iraq during Clinton era (also without prior authorization by congress) felt just as alarming as what is going on now. Trump is a scumbag but these particular actions are not illegal and are not without precedent. |
lol only as long as we have the enough missiles and interceptors. Those things cost a lot of money and China controls the industrial magnets and rare earths needed to make them. China is not shipping anything that can be used or repurposed for military use. This has really hurt the US military supply system. The 12 day “war” in 13 – 24 June 2025 with Iran we burned through 1/3 of our total stock of high altitude interceptors in the first 3 days and that has not been restocked. Iran has a lot of cheap cruise and ballistic missiles. We will have to shoot $50,000 -$250,000 “missiles” down with $10 million dollars missiles. Let’s hope Iran does not recover our missiles and give them to the Chinese. That will make the US fleet a lot less safe. The Straits of Hormuz could be shut down because we are also protecting Israel, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the US fleet, US airbases, shipping lanes, etc, etc. It’s a huge f’ing area. Ukraine with no navy took out 25-50% of the Russian Black Sea fleet with basically $15,000 remote controlled jet skis with a bomb attached. Release a few hundred of those with a coordinated missile attack and you can hit an oil tankers in the Straights of Hormuz. The US military is not prepared for a drone war. Iran has been building drones for the Russians. Remember all it takes is for the insurance companies to not insure oil tankers passing through the Straight of Hormuz and the straight will be closed. Iran is not going anywhere and the US fleet can not maintain combat operations indefinitely. |

Tucker Carlson confronted Israeli Huckabee about Amalek. Carlson said that Netanyahu called the Palestinians Amalek on more than one occasion, which means that they should be exterminated. Not sure if anyone hasn't heard of a genocide campaign in Gaza. Wiki: Amalek was a nation described in the Hebrew Bible as a staunch enemy of the Israelites. The name "Amalek" can refer to the nation's founder, a grandson of Esau; his descendants, the Amalekites; or the territories of Amalek, which they inhabited. According to the Torah, there is a commandment to exterminate the memory of Amalek |
I'll take the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution for $200, Alex. |
| ^well, damn…I wrote “are” instead of “our”! Please don’t take that to mean the whole message is ignorant. |
No way, American Jews are behind a lot of politics, they are politicians or donating money to politicians. Jews have a lot of influence in America while thee Japanese did not in 1940. Signed an American Jew. |
As if the iranians have a deep supply of weapons systems to rely upon. Not. They're toast. |
lol sure. American Jewish millionaire and billionaire gave heavily to Trump because Biden and Harris were not supporting Israel. One of the reason Trump is in office is because of a lot of American Jewish wanted Trump because he would back Israel’s wars. |
Ask the Palestinians, same answer. Women and children! |
