Yeah you can, as long as we pay for their military. He who pays the piper calls the tune.

Iran is running out of time. President Trump said today that they are staling. Iran better make the right choice.

I’m not sure subsidizing their purchase of US built military equipment to the tune of 13% of their total defense budget counts as “subsidizing” the point we get a veto.

We pay much greater percentage of other countries’ defense budgets.

Hell, counting the costs of our arms and troops in Europe, we pay 2/3 of their defense budget.

Korea, we pay more than half. Same with Japan.

And all of those counties demand we put our boys’ lives on the line.

I have been very much in favor of trying to find a diplomatic situation. But President Trump’s pachince has limits. My problem with Netenyahi, has been the terrible way he has fought a half war.
