not true. My four GenZ children, their spouses and friends will all vote for him.

That’s a bold statement. It’s true, but in the past that hasn’t been a central and public message.

To be clear, I don’t like the fact that it’s true.

& for all those that don’t see the parallel between what Israel has done in Palestine and what Putin is doing in Ukraine should read this piece: https://www.wbir.com/amp/article/news/nation-world/israel-ends-west-bank-raid-palestinians-grapple-with-destruction/507-d863dadb-0c97-47a0-bd26-be1df61577ca

NPR has reported other stories as well that seem well researched with on the ground reporting. I was just listening to a piece, yesterday, which I can’t find online now or I would share, with several first hand interviews backed up by sourced facts and figures that were very compelling. Can I be sure it’s not all lies? No - but the steady stream of reported atrocities builds a pattern.

The attack on Israel and hostage taking is horrific. Israel behavior in the region created a pressure cooker situation which - in retrospect - is not surprising that it burst. Both statements can be true at the same time. And I am not antisemitic (my father’s side of the family is Jewish Ukrainian who left Ukraine during the early 1900s bc of Jewish persecution). And I’m not even anti - Israel (I understand that the holocaust made clear that Jewish people need a homeland) But, certainly the current situation is horrible for the entire region. And I can’t see how the US pouring in military support will help the people who live there.

FWIW, my Dad swears that his Grandparents (the ones that cane to NYC from Ukraine) saw / called themselves Russian - not Ukrainian. They did not feel Ukrainian bc of the persecution they had faced there. History is complicated and I know I’m the US we see Russian’s invasion of Ukraine as their invasion of a sovereign nation, but this can be debatable. I have to get off my soapbox and to work so I don’t have time to fully read, but I think this blog might do a good job in laying out a complex history:

The world is a complicated place and we simply cannot sum things up simplistically.

It was disjointed and not terribly inspiring.

He also spent very little time addressing the horrors suffered by the Jewish people and the real people behind all the strife in the world right now - IRAN.

I'll give him credit for uttering the word, "Iran" since he hasn't done that in the past weeks, but this administration has to take a much tougher stance with them and inform the American people about the evil of Iran.

You are just salivating over WW3, huh?

WW3 will result in a void of American leadership. That is what we have now.
Being tough on Iran will not result in WW3. Iran is emboldened because they sense weakness.

So.. what does "being tough" look like? We need war.... to avoid war?

Here's a start:
1. Start enforcing sanctions that we already have so that they don't bring in billions in revenue.
2. Clean out your advisors of Iran-sympathizers.
3. Forget trying to make nice with Iran to secure some kind of nuclear deal that will result in no change.
4. Refreeze the $6 Billion.

Even Democrats want him to be tougher:

In the wake of recent Hamas attacks on Israel, more than 110 House Representatives have called for a tougher stance against the regime in Iran.

In a letter published Monday night, the lawmakers (63 Democrats and 50 Republicans) urge President Biden to hold the Islamic Republic accountable for its ongoing financial support of Hamas.

“We urge the Administration to take all necessary steps to cut off Iranian funding sources,” the letter reads. “This includes maximum enforcement of all US sanctions and taking any and all steps to end Iran’s oil trade to China, which currently brings in $150 million per day in revenue.”

You really need to keep up. The 6 billion has been refrozen.

No, it hasn't.

Only a white male with no true friends outside his demographic that does not read books and consumes mainstream media and lacks true critical thinking skills would think Biden is going to win re-election.

Did you see the same person I did tonight? The words he spoke, fine, I’ll give you but the slurred speech and his face it’s like he’s got a mask on. He’s not well. Makes us look weak as a country. I honestly feel bad for him.

Get some eyeglasses.
