re: Democrats acknowledge an imminent threat to Israel, but not to the U.S. so they oppose war

I am fatigued at protecting every nation that isn’t the United States of America.

We went out on a limb and just bombed them? That’s silly.

Zero evidence of nukes, or threats or danger.

We provoked them and now 6 service members are dead.

So much for not being the world police.

Also, the hypocrisy of that statement while the Trump admin cut off aid to Ukraine while they are actually fighting a real war with existential consequences, not a hypothetical one from Iran.

The criticism comes from the US admitting that Israel is forcing our hand.

That’s how journalists have chosen to phrase it. Try quoting what was actually said.

Our involvement was to keep US casualties to a minimum because we could do it more efficiently than Israel.

Look at what Iran is doing now. Attacking countries that stayed out of it. That’s their plan - to inflict as much damage as possible regardless of who initiated an attack on them. Of course the US would have been attacked and there obviously would have been much larger casualties if the US had not taken out their most dangerous weapons.

Why had the Iranian leadership gathered at that moment when the US and Israel decided to attack? Was it just a routine meeting about funding their schools, childhood nutrition, adjusting their tax rates for their next fiscal year’s revenue?

If Israel can’t defend itself and accomplish it’s goals without the help of the U.S.

They can, but that defense would center around the use of nuclear weapons, first against Iran and then likely other countries who would declare war on Israel for putting nukes on target in Iran.

At a minimum you would end up with a total disruption of the world's petroleum supply with the middle eastern fields, refineries, and ports either shut down or destroyed.

You would also put thousands of US troops at risk of retaliatory strikes at our bases in that part of the world and also the loss of the use of those bases afterwards.

And Persians worldwide today are celebrating the Death of the Ayatollah and his minions.

So it’s not like this is a democratically elected regime. Had they overthrown the Shah and had a free country even if they dislike us your point would be valid. But they didn’t.

What happened to an America first agenda?
These attacks are extremely at odds with everything MAGA.

Kinda like Israel has done to Gaza?

Yes. Are you opposed to that?
