And all of a sudden Biden restarts building Trumps wall... Maybe as a cover if / when we have a terrorist attack here so he can say, “well I was serious about border security and was building the wall”

Some people are seeing this through the Russian/Ukraine lens ...

Which is appropriate.

Russia has also killed women and children, largely through their missile attacks. I remember seeing a photo of a small Ukrainian girl who'd had her arm amputated.

And while Israel's death toll is currently about 700, Ukrainians deaths are currently about 70,000 (plus several hundred thousand wounded). So Ukraine is a far greater humanitarian catastrophe than Israel.

Plus, Ukraine is weaker than Russia, whereas Israel is stranger than Hamas.

Yet even so, while I sympathize (and have donated to Catholic relief efforts), I do not think the U.S. should be involved. In Ukraine or Israel.

Most worrying is the threat from attackers permitted to enter through our own wide open border.

Good point. Both Europe and the U.S. are full of Muslim migrants. We need to focus on our own borders and domestic security, not foreign wars.

Some will say, you fight them here by fighting them there. Which is what they said about Iraq.

I live in Italy and never watch TV. Can't stomach the MSM so I don't bother with any of it. I stay in touch with what's up by hitting up FR several times per day. When things happen in the world they get posted here very quickly. Not only is this an entertaining forum, it's a great news aggregator too.

Leftists are nuts, and evil too. Nearly everything they push is a ridiculous lie, including this latest one. Ugh.

Just learned that Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) was in Israel during the initial assault. He is back home, along with U.S. Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY).

I agree.

But still, arm up and carry. Just in case.

To Iran WE are still the GREAT Satan, and Israel is the Samll Satan.

Right. The Briben Admin. starts re-thinking the southern border wall about 30 minutes before Israel was attacked. Amazing coincidence.

Kiddie-Sniffer-in_Chief pardoned one of the Iranians swapped for US prisoners in Iran, as part of that $6 billion to Iran deal.

The Pardon was Sep. 14

probably while the attack on Israel was being planned.

“maybe a year or more.”

And somehow kept secret from the Mossad and the CIA. I find it hard to believe that the intel agencies in both countries were asleep at the wheel...unless, of course, they were in Pronouns 101.

See my twit threads on this. Looks like this attack was an Iranian strategic attempt to break up a new Biden (Rutabaga) plan to have Saudi Arabia recognize Israel in return for “peaceful” nuke technology.

So, this ironically may have been good for the world, despite the terrible price in losses. A nuke-ized SA and nuke-ized Iran would pretty much be the end of times.

“U.S. officials say they haven’t seen evidence of Tehran’s involvement.”

Biden’s problem is releasing 6 billion to Iran 2 months ago as well as authorizing a release of another 12 billion from money frozen in S Korea and another nation to Iran in August, much of which was used to arm Palestine to start the war. Initially, his allies in the US media will put their finger in the dike and go with the administration lie that there is no evidence of Iran involvement. But they are going to have to relent when global media starts reporting the connection. Biden is screwed, rightfully so; especially when the Republicans put together the narrative of Biden as the enabler of two wars, Ukraine and Palestine

Israel can handle it. We can collaborate on hostage rescue though.
