Republicans are so caught up in the evangelical cult that they're ready to sacrifice American lives at another country's alter.
Something. Something. Something. End Times. God's Chosen People.
-Republicans.
Let Israel fight their own war. They can't do shit without our backing. I don't care if they survive. They are genocidal maniacs and I want to see them put in their place. Of course, that's not the opinion of our "leaders." Sigh.
Netanyahu was worried the US would achieve a deal with Iran and struck first.
A handful of lawmakers did oppose the Israeli strikes, however. Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) argued that Tel Aviv’s war interfered with Trump’s effort to strike a new nuclear deal with Iran. “Netanyahu wasn’t trying to help diplomacy; he was trying to destroy diplomacy. How do we know? They reportedly targeted and killed Iran’s chief negotiator with Trump,” he wrote.
Why are there like 3 senators worth a shit. It's always Murphy, the dude from Hawaii and Sanders doing anything worthwhile. Interestingly I think the other Connecticut Senator sucks worse than most other Senate Democrats.
Game on? Republicans are so pathetic when they try to sound tuff
Also Dems if you read the article, don't forget that previously some of them worked hard to reach the same thing...
this is exactly what netanyahu wanted, drag the US into war
I've been wondering what the endgame is. All out war against Islam (essentially Islamic states), maybe?
Evangelist Christian Armageddon is the endgame lmao
Once the Christians and Jews kill all the Muslims then the Christians kill the Jews and Jesus returns to bring everyone up Heaven’s Chimney. Since that’s not real the Christians left living in the created hellscape will just move on to killing off sects labeled apostates and the meek inherit a poisoned, inhospitable Earth or whatever
Agaaaaain?
Ugh.
Stay out of tall buildings for a while, everyone.
Sorry but USA isn't being dragged into war... They have full knowledge and participation of what happens, so you must assume that is coming to a war for his own... It's not a pour innocent baby that have no involving... The opposite it's just being naive
That's okay; I forgive you.
I am trying to think of a time the US went to war with a plan and achieved something, rather than realising it was a mistake they got baited into. That's kind of what their military prowess is known to be; tactically challenged.
"The intelligence we get from the Israelis is too valuable to go against them." -The US
I personally don't care. If you don't treat others right, you are bad people. Collusion included. I've been mad at the US ever since they dragged us into the Iraq war with their lies about WMD's, and they have tons of other bad acts as well - in Vietnam, Venezuela, and more.
I think that now is a perfect time for us Europeans to start pulling away from the hypocrisy.
Nah, how about boots on the ground for Ukraine?
sorry best we can do is wishy washy words of support and revocation of all military aid
I would not trust US troops in Ukraine not to suddenly switch sides and shoot the Ukrainians in the back.
Their children won't be drafted, so why not?
Fortunate Son
Or to put it another way: large numbers of Congress are just as interested as Israel in diverting attention from their own crimes and are unscrupulous enough to wage war to achieve this.
Scum
support Israel and deal with a looming civil war?
And then China supports whom ?
Everyone is supporting the one cause: Iran not having Nuclear autonomy.
Nah. Let both sides blow each other to kingdom come. Too much bad on either side.
