Why hell son why did you say so….. that makes it OK! 😂😂😂😂😂
Such a great ally Israel is…
Why doesn’t Israel bomb Iran itself?
Compared to alot of our other allies, she ain’t so bad.
But every country puts itself first. And Israel has got to be a bit paranoid given her history.
FWIW, I don’t trust or believe this Esper bum.
“implied”....means nothing.....
We fell for it in Iraq (twice), Syria, Libya, and Lebanon, why shouldn't they give it another shot?
Israel is always trying its best to entangle the US in the Middle East conflict whether in Lebanon, Syria, Libya, or Iraq. Wouldn’t be a bit surprised if they aren’t behind Biden’s decision to make the US dependent on foreign oil again.
Well, it worked in 2003.
Its OK to leak CLASSIFIED INFORMATION as long as it fits the agenda of the Left.
Esper is a proven liar.
Esper? Serial Liar.
We are having to deal with Iran, and it may someday break out into open war. But Trump knew that there are a lot of ways to deal with an enemy short of war. He ignored several provocations by Iran and chose his battles. That doesn’t mean that nothing was happening, there was no doubt a lot happening below the table.
Trump’s tactic, among many, was to make sure your enemy fears what you might do, and is never sure what you will do and when. And make sure that if you do have to come to blows that you have the clear advantage.
You beat me. (I did not read all the comments before posting)
Makes sense to me. If he can get America to do his heavy lifting for him, why not?
I don’t believe half of what Esper says
