Nah, warmongering Palestinians backed by Iran, Russia and Syria.

Same folks who have been hitting us since 1979.

Pray that is all. But there is also a possibility this is a “work-around” to bypass Congress. Israel has officially declared war and it seems if the U.S. is sending troops into a war zone, it would be an act of war.

Biden will order American troops to fire on Israel.
Biden will support the arabs.

I had no idea Jake Sullivan and Victoria Nuland ran our military. Oh well..... Nobody in government carries out their constitutional duties anyways. They just pick my grandchildren grandchildren pockets to pay the tab for their insanity.

War hasn’t come to us yet, but the world’s warriors have.

“Send troops over there when the invaders are coming over the southern border here?”

I know you know the answer to that...

Waiting for the signal. All the liberal cities will get it first, which they deserve for being a sanctuary.

I can’t help but speculate whether Iran possesses a nuclear weapon, which could be the motivation behind authorizing attacks on Israel. If this is the case, Iran might feel emboldened and intensify the conflict.

Thats what I'm thinking 2000 Marines in MEU at Haifa to bolster northern defense...

....either that or a dozen batteries of new patriot missiles + support + RISTA and Comms units for anti ballistic missile defense.

(or gasps.....all of our mortuary affairs specialists(92M))

Why?

Israel seems to have it well in hand.

It’s possible that there’s more going on that we don’t know about, but we should probably know everything.

We are a democracy.

Don’t worry the FR warcons/neocons/RINO’s CNC BiteMe will gladly blab that information. But hey they get the US in another war, they will forgive him for that-again...

Please try to avoid talking about or speculating about troop movement.

Tell that to the Senile SOB in the white house - the next time he wants to try and impress his lefty colleagues he'll gladly divulge any and all.

Medical support units going to Israel in the likelihood of heavy casualties if the IDF invades Gaza.

82nd Airborne troops moving from Romania to Jordan, probably to short circuit any Syrian/Iranian/ISIS incursion through Jordan.
