    In case people aren’t clear, these soldiers are the operators of the additional THAAD system they are deploying to Israel. These aren’t infantry being sent to kick in doors alongside the IDF. THAAD is a ballistic missile defense system with no offensive capabilities. We already have a THAAD unit deployed to Israel.

    Don’t be mad because you expect to see headlines saying US Soldiers are killing civilians in Gaza. Be mad because this enhances Israel’s ability to continue escalating conflict with Iran and hiding behind US cover when Iran strikes back.

    as the Netanyahu government prepares to attack Iran—a move that’s expected to provoke an Iranian response.

    No shit.

      Its not Biden. Its Bibi. He will time the Iran attack at the best point in time to affect Kamala’s results just right.

      i wonder what the posts from .worlders are going to look after she loses.

      obviously they’re going to blame leftists for not voting for someone who actively refuses to adopt any the leftists platforms or ideals and i’m hoping that there will be some sort of introspection from liberals; but i suspect that the diet reddit of the lemmyverse is just going to reddit.

        What’s interesting is they won’t blame Republicans for passing laws that will help them rig elections and they won’t blame Biden for enabling Israel on its path to starting WW3. They only know how to blame the left for not being obedient.
