I want to check the temperature of the room here...
I'm seeing a LOT of conservatives on social media saying the war in the Middle East is not our problem.
As an anti-war conservative I completely agree however it's surprising to see this sentiment among so many mainstream conservatives?!
We're used to being in the minority on these issues.
While supportive of Israel and absolutely condemning the horrific attacks and hostage taking that we've witnessed it appears many Americans are sick and tired of the foreign interventions.
Only the Neocons on social media are demanding U.S involvement.
In fact I posted one yesterday:-
Nikki Haley: This is not just an attack on Israel — this was an attack on America
Have I got this right? What are your thoughts...
That about sums it up.
Some of the statements here, and by politicians, baffle me.
This is “true evil”. Why, because it happened to Jews?
Mao, Pol Pot, Charles Taylor, Idi Amin, etc. What were they?
Those that scream the loudest here for war are old men and women.
You know, the ones that don’t have to go die.
As for Israel, they don’t need our help, and I completely disagree that they are our “greatest ally”.
I always see that, but only get emotional responses and no proof when I ask how.
Iran is behind this. Aided and abetted by Biden. The Iranians have always stated their goal is death to Israel AND death to America.
Ditto that!
It’s not a problem until our skyscrapers start coming down?
It's no different than when the government attaches conditions and means testing to domestic welfare payments. If you want the welfare, you must jump through the hoops.
When Israel complains of American pressure, it's saying that it wants the money without strings. But still, it wants the money.
Well, if we didn’t buy essential needs from all over the world instead of making here you’d have a great point.
Notice I said essential.
If the U.S. is engaged in trade with Country X, and the ships carrying cargo between the two countries are being intercepted by the hostile forces of Country Y, then engaging in military action against Country Y is absolutely a legitimate function of the U.S. government.
I agree that we should not give aid to anyone,but we do. Again you call Israel grifters. Go re-read Roman’s 9 to 11, and Genises 12, and the Old Testement.
Agree
Iranian Regime Backed experts worked for Obama and Biden. Got US Government Clearance
It could serve to dissuade other countries from joining in attacking Israel.
You must not know many.
I think we did right to interviene in former Yugoslavia, we should have done more in Africa, even now to put stop to massacres.
But I have always been highly defensive of Americans, real Americans, not those that get or have American citizenship for convenience, diss us until they need us.
Attack an American, I'm of the old school, or what I think of it as 'Touch an American, Die.' In the past an American could go anywhere with a bit of immunity. We've lost that.
Okay, today. I am totally offended at the Islamic Cult and Hamas open and blatant massacre of Israelis AND AMERICANS. And AMERICANS HELD HOSTAGE. That is act of war against America, act of barbarity against all civilized people.
We should declare war on Hama, damn the consequences. Give them 24-hours to release all Americans, then kill any and all members of Hamas without mercy. Total war until done.
Gaza is small area, a fraction of the size of many of our cities. Take a look at https://www.businessinsider.com/these-maps-show-what-the-gaza-invasion-would-look-like-in-major-us-cities-2014-7
Limited, all out war. I support immediate war with Hamas where the only acceptable result is total unconditional surrender of Hamas. Anyone that ojbects, gets cut off, no commerce, no trade, no international relation. If they attack the US, they receive the same unconditional war we need to wage on Hamas. No compromise, no mercy.
We are at war, time to accept it, time to declare it, time to own it, and time to respond in kind.
This government should quit supporting the Iranians and the Palestinians.
President Trump quit giving them money to pay for dead terrorists families. Biden started it right back up.
I agree. If they want jihad, a holy war, then give them one. No holds barred, up to and including the use of thermonuclear weapons. Exterminate them all, I think it’s the only way.
Lame. We can solve that in minutes, even days. It is not stopping Biden and Harris from responding, and we can now get a war-focused Speaker. Is that still Jordan? Maybe Trump?
RandFan, thank you for posting this vanity, it is a conversation we need, and simply commenting on a article is not enough.
Ah, but it didn't take but a few years until we had to go to the Med.
Israel didn’t dictate that the Palestinians couldn’t speak their native language or practice their religion like Zelenski did to the territory populated by Russians.
Did our intelligence fail or did we just ignore what what going on. Six billion to Iran and less than a money later this occurred? Fire and prosecute anyone we can that ignored and buried this. And if they were so clueless, fire them as well. Rebuild our intelligence agencies.
