I like Tucker, but this was an attack not only on Israel, but an American citizens. That’s an act of war. This is our war as much as it is Israel’s. We should declare war and help Israel kill every single last Islamic Hamas terrorist.
Americans who took the risk of being in a foreign nation happened to be killed. Ask yourself if you would have a different response if this happened in any other country.
At this time it is most definitely NOT out war. Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t send support or redeploy assets to keep things from getting out of control in the region but in no way is it cause for Congress to declare war.
Interventionalism has made a mess of things.
It’s not a zero sum answer.
This is fodder for imbeciles that view everything in black and white while life is 50 shades of gray.
It’s Israel’s war! Somehow it will be fought w/o US munitions and intelligence at the minimal.
Meanwhile US energy policy is a driving factor to all war on earth now-yet neither major conflict is our business.
“I like Tucker, but this was an attack not only on Israel, but an American citizens. “
You can’t swing a dead cat overseas and not hit an American, so, no, this was not an attack on America.
Tucker is telling the truth. We should not be involved in this war. Some of the hostages are Americans but some are Russians too? Not our war—BUT we should turn a blind eye to what Israel will be forced to do in the coming days and weeks. The problem needs to be solved with BLOOD not UN resolutions. It will be an eye for an eye—very Old Testimate. In this day is will be more an eye for a peck of eyes. Make Islam weep like our Crusader ancestors did long ago. Even now King Richard Lionheart is a boogeyman in Islamic folktales.
This rationale is completely off-base. U.S. citizens don't automatically maintain a mantle of protection from the U.S. military just because they happen to be in a foreign country at any given time. This is especially true for "dual citizens" who have voluntarily decided to live in another country and maintain citizenship in that country. If you thought you were better off living in Israel, France, China, Brazil, etc. as a citizen of that country, then you should contact your own government if you have any problems with an invasion of mutants.
I suspect you don’t think killing Americans is an act of war when Israel killed 34 Americans onboard the USS Liberty in 1967.
What financial and military position are we in to wage war? We have no money. And we can’t even keep our own country together.
I am pained by what the Israelis are going through (and the non-Hamas civilians in Gaza as well) but no...no foreign war. If we have to airlift Americans out then yes, do that.
We shouldn’t got to war with an enemy that’s funded not only by the UN but our own government as well. It won’t be war but mass murder.
I would strongly consider leaving off the terrorist, too, since it's ingrained into them from birth.
