Sending more troops to ME

Just in time for elections this fall
The U.S. is sending additional troops to the Middle East in response to a sharp spike in violence between Israel and Hezbollah forces in Lebanon that has raised the risk of a greater regional war, the Pentagon said Monday.
Pentagon press secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder would provide no details on how many additional forces or what they would be tasked to do. The U.S. currently has about 40,000 troops in the region.
“In light of increased tension in the Middle East and out of an abundance of caution, we are sending a small number of additional U.S. military personnel forward to augment our forces that are already in the region. But for operational security reasons, I’m not going to comment on or provide specifics.”
The new deployments come after significant strikes by Israeli forces against targets inside Lebanon that have killed hundreds and as Israel is preparing to conduct further operations. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday warned Lebanese civilians in a videotaped message to evacuate their homes ahead of further airstrikes. He spoke as Israeli warplanes continued to strike alleged Hezbollah targets in southern and eastern Lebanon.
The State Department is warning Americans to leave Lebanon as the risk of a regional war increases.

LMAO... " Alleged" Hezbollah targets! Those pagers didn't hit "alledged" Hezbollah targets!
I'd say the Israeli intelligence is pretty damn accurate.

Sure about this ? The VEEP said we don’t have any troops in combat zones ……

Make sure our idiot of a VP knows this

To me, it looks like Israel is doing a good job on their own. I don't see the need to put more American soldiers in imminent risk.

This is not going to sit well with the electorate, regardless of side of the aisle. It's Biden & Harris' mess, and I hope they pay for it dearly.

But i thought there was ZERO troops in a combat zone around the world?

This has ZERO to do with Israel/Hezbollah and more to do with US bases in Iraq/Syria and guarding the oil refineries. Iran is now likely to turn its attention to taking out the US military bases now that it got its arse handed to them in Gaza and Lebanon.

Just in time to keep the bads from over running our outposts out there. There are a lot more of them running around out there than us. Nothing to do with elections at all.

Sending troops to the ME would make it easier to steal their votes

Biden/Harris couldn't have fricked up foreign policy any better if they tried.

Sooner or later you have to admit Israel owns America
Posted on 9/23/24 at 3:58 pm to Jasharts77
I’m not out of hand trying to opine that you’re wrong, but I do have a question insofar as if Israel “owns” America, then how and why has our country’s “official” position during these tough times for Israel (i.e. the Biden/Harris tenure) been to make it even tougher for Israel to defend itself and eliminate its main threat(s)?
