re: No wars, cheap gas, stock market doing great!

Just because Trump didn’t tell you the plans they were working on since last summer that doesn’t mean others didn’t know

A dangerous lie has taken hold in Washington: that Israel somehow pressured the United States into war with Iran. It’s wrong. And both President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have said so directly. When a White House correspondent asked President Trump whether Israel had pulled America into the conflict, he didn’t hesitate. “I might have forced their hand,” he said. “We were having negotiations with these lunatics, and it was my opinion that they were going to attack first.” Rubio was equally blunt after a deceptively edited video suggested he believed otherwise: “The president made a decision that negotiations were not going to work… this was a threat that was untenable. The decision was made to strike them.”

Iran has spent years building nuclear weapons, developing long-range ballistic missiles, and encircling Israel with a terror army stretching from Lebanon to Gaza to Yemen. It has fired ballistic missiles directly at Israeli civilians. No Israeli government — left, right, or center — could ignore that. Jerusalem’s decision to join a combined American-Israeli operation targeting Iran’s missile and nuclear capabilities drew near-universal support across Israel’s political spectrum. This wasn’t Netanyahu’s partisan gamble. It was a national security imperative.

This is the same regime that declared war on the United States in 1979 — that has killed and maimed thousands of Americans from Beirut to Baghdad to Kabul, taken Americans hostage, organized assassination and kidnapping plots in America, and armed the terrorist proxies that have American blood on their hands for decades.

Even now, by some estimates, Israel is responsible for roughly half of all strikes against Iranian targets in this conflict. In the entire modern history of American warfare, we have rarely — if ever — had an ally carry that kind of operational weight against a shared enemy. So let’s retire the wrong question. Stop asking why America helped Israel. Ask instead: when was the last time an American ally flew a thousand miles to tear down the air defenses of one of America’s most dangerous enemies — before we ever put a single pilot at risk?

So stupid and lazy. People around here disagree with Trump frequently

But in this case, this conflict is absolutely, completely justified for numerous reasons. You would know this if you bothered to stop researching your next gender transition
