The Democrats are pulling out all the stops.

What happens when Iran or Hezbollah target and kill them?

Will we enter the war officially, or ignore it?

Neither are good options.

Because the Barbary States were raiding American ships and literally taking Americans as slaves. And when we asked them why, they told us “Because you’re unbelievers and Allah allows it”.

I feel like that's what Bibi wants, so we jump in the fray. Imagine if this happened now.

Yes. We even have "boots on the water" to play nice with their houthi allies, and have for months.

Women like to get emotional over abortions when it comes to voting. This is how you turn it around on them.

Just ask, how do you feel about your freshly 18 year old son going to die in a war you know nothing about and have no reason to be a part of. Because rest assured, Kamala Harris is willing to send your son to die for nothing. When they say something about Trump wanting the same, ask her which new war started under his term worried her the most.


Problem is there are too many childless cat ladies who don't care if someone else's children die.

To protect Americans

So there are no Americans in Israel to protect? Interesting they were in the area 220 years ago, but are gone today.

Do you think deploying to the Red Sea to protect shipping is analogous to deploying to northern Israel to protect Israel?

Yes. To protect American shipping interests from corsairs. Not to intervene in a long simmering proxy war between two sovereign nations.

To be fair, Biden can’t do anything about it. When the Master calls the slave will abide, it doesn’t matter who is in office.

Russia will want a piece of payback possibly as it was Trump in office when a large number of Russian troops were killed in that region, Syria I believe

There are 0 American interests in Israel now? These are interesting new spins since the last regime and we were celebrating a new embassy location.

When we called the deconflict line, the Russian officer said “they aren’t ours”

I think there was some politics there. The Ministry of Defense wasn’t going to cry if Wagner got lit up.
