GOP Lawmakers Demand US Retaliate Against Iran Over Attack On Israel, Pushes Aid Package: ‘Long Past Time For Iran To Pay’
Mediaite ^ | 4/13/2024 | Phillip Nieto

Republican lawmakers on Saturday demanded the U.S. launch a retaliatory strike against Iran for the drone and missile attacked launched against Israel.

On Saturday, Iran launched hundreds of suicide drones toward Israel and later ballistic missiles in a retaliatory attack for an airstrike on the Iranian consulate building in Syria that killed Tehran’s top commanders.

President Joe Biden vowed prior to the attack to do everything possible to protect Israel. However, aid to Israel amid the country’s war with Hamas has been delayed due to division within the Republican party.

Following the attack, Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) announced the House will move forward next week to consider a bill that will provide Israel with an aid package.

“In light of Iran’s unjustified attack on Israel, the House will move from its previously announced legislative schedule next week to instead consider legislation that supports our ally Israel and holds Iran and its terrorist proxies accountable,” Scalise wrote. “The House of Representatives stands strongly with Israel, and there must be consequences for this unprovoked attack.”

Yeah.

It’s going to be beyond bad 😔.

By the time most of the world 🌏🌎🌍 figures it out, it will already be too late for anyone but Tribulation Saints.

October 7 really kicked it into a higher gear.

Don’t. Don’t (US always f@#$s these things up).

Iran is ours (Israel’s), and we’ll deal with them in our own sweet way in our own sweet time. Sit back and enjoy the popcorn. Tell the GOP lawmakers to STFU.

I’m counting on the rapture..?
Nations turn against Israel?
The Jews flee to Petra?
The anti christ? Is it close enough it is somewhere on the earth?
Things are not ‘normal’ any more.
There is a weird feeling too many are turning against the hope we have had in this country.
Our government has turned on us.. That has not happened before. Throwing God out. Thinking you globalists have it.. Power and control.. It won’t happen..
There was a people who decided to build a stairway to heaven.. That would resemble global. God said nope. He came down.. Changed their language and scattered them all over.. They could no longer plan anything.

“ This is all about needing the money for Military Industrial Complex.”

Absolutely. Seeing as how we are funding both sides of the conflict.

Iran’s leadership is not crazy. Calling them crazy means we can’t understand the logic they see the world by. It’s important that we put ourselves in their shoes so we can predict what they’ll do. Especially when they have nuclear weapons. (If they have enough fissionable material all they have to do is bang two chunks of the right mass together and you get Fat Man and Little Boy.) What they do understand is force. That and sanctions. We’re letting them sell oil to keep the price down. We could sell more oil than they could, but the Democrats won’t allow it. So no sanctions. If we sanctioned them the way we’re sanctioning Russia they’d collapse, and Obama would be mad.

Yes, tiny fraction.

Current US defense budget is @3.5% of GDP. In the 1950s it was in the range of 8-9% of GDP. And, IIRC, procurement was a higher fraction of the budget than these days. Personnel costs have tended to increase, proportionately, relative to procurement. Defense industries have declined, a lot, relative to the general economy.

If you want to examine an influential industry, try medical care.

Fat Man required a rather complex concentric implosion design, that depended on very precise timing.

Its not beyond what they can probably do, but it certainly wasnt simple.

God bless you my brother

(There is a weird feeling)

I can’t tell you exactly what it was but I felt it in 2008 - 2 months before the crash

It was a gnawing dread that everything had changed (which it did for me substantially) but there was this really, really weird feeling.

I’m certain that the mocking and scoffing Globalists just laugh at my posts.

They’ll eventually be begging the rocks and mountains to fall on them to hide themselves from the face of Him that sits on the Throne and from the Wrath of the Lamb.


Revelation 6:16

KJ21

and they said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb!

But they’re ‘too smart’ to believe all that Bible prophecy ‘nonsense’ .....

Iran just warmongered. Israel is showing restraint in not agitating the Mullahs city, like they should

Israel should wipe out the Mullhas city. The6 need to be wip3d out, not the people, the Mullahs.

Iran just thumbed it’s nose at the US. That would not happen 7nder Trump. Trump doesn’t need to go to war, because the threat of force is already there.

You’re right. My bad.

I think it was Sadam Hussien who displayed one of the exploder devices that surround the hollow sphere during a speech. The US said he couldn’t have that technology and he wanted to show that he had it. In retrospect, a pretty stupid thing to do. So, yes, the technology is obviously available. I’d imagine the machining is a bit touchy as the material is toxic and the sphere has to be perfect. But if the machinist isn’t concerned with having children or living until next Ramadan, I suppose it can be done.
