The move to take the conflict outside Israel’s borders by the Netanyahu-led Israeli government is proving to be quite a slippery slope that has us seemingly barreling towards getting fully involved in yet another endless war in the Middle East.
On Friday, the Pentagon announced its plans to send additional fighter jets and Navy warships to the region. This strategic move aims to bolster existing US forces and strengthen support for Israel. It comes in response to increased tensions and threats from Iran and its allies, including Hamas and Hezbollah, as IDF forces carry out targeted strikes in Lebanon and, more recently, Iran.
The catalyst for the recent wave of activity was the recent assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, which prompted the supreme leader of Iran to order retaliatory strikes directly on Israel. His advisor to the Foreign Ministry, Seyed Mohammad Marandi, reiterated the point in no uncertain terms, telling the Israelis to “leave” before the barrage comes in an ominous post on X.

Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh explained that the added military assets are meant to bolster the protection of U.S. forces in the region and address the security threats posed by Iran and its affiliated groups.
“We’ve shown since October and again in April that the United States’s global defense is adaptable, and the department can deploy on short notice to address evolving national security threats,” Singh stated. “Thus, the secretary will direct several forthcoming force-posture adjustments to enhance force protection for U.S. forces across the region, increase support for Israel’s defense, and ensure the U.S. is ready to respond to this evolving crisis.”

She knows zip about anything outside of California.
Is this a sign of Joe Biden trying to shore up the Jewish vote or is he really trying to protect the American citizens?
The place is a laboratory for new weapons systems. Would anyone take any bets on a carrier being hit?
Get ready, Cameltoe’s “October surprise” for her low I.Q. is going to be a war in the middle east with her “White dudes” dying for Gaza Muzzies.
Yet our southern border remains undefended.
The catalyst for the recent wave of activity.
Joe Biden is withholding weapons from Israel to play nice with the terrorists.
Well, we know that we are being ruled by the Jihad Junta who take some of their orders from the Mullahs. (Barry Sotero, John Brennan, Valerie Jarrett et al..) So, what, actually, is the objective here given this scenario?
He wants to be a war president.
Looks like the D@mocrats are planning to get us into a third world war, with ‘Dementia Joe’ as the convenient ‘fall guy’ - would certainly explain why he’s still in office, when a “President Harris” would have better prospects than VP Harris in November...
The dems and neocons are running out of time to start a new war.
It reminds me of the final few chapters of Atlas Shrugged, where Thompson and his cronies are increasingly desperate to make Galt join their side. Until finally they are poised to kill the one man who they think could save them if he wants to.
Little doubt that Iran wants to attack Israel to retaliate for the assasination of the Hamas operative in Tehran. Yet Iran probably realizes that it does not have the capability or the effective weapons to conduct a conventional attack. Those American ships and aircraft show solidarity with Israel but may have little practical benefit. Instead the Iranians may wish to take advantage of the more than one hundred thousand Palestinians that work in Israel daily.Can Israeli security monitor them all and does familiarity lead to vulnerability? For instance who cleans the bathrooms, mops the floors and prepares the food in the Knesset? Sadly the Arabs will never give the Israelis real peace and they will accept help from Iran or anyone else who will aid them. Also for every American deployment in the Mideast Arab hate for America and Americans increases.
Let's take a look.....
-Vietnam
-Iraq
-Afghanistan
-Houthies (remember them "coalition" warships against them sandal wearing turbin heads)
Of course, these all turned out so good! Not to mention, we got a real bargain and only spent a few trillion dollars of borrowed money in the process. Who really cares about national debt? It's only numbers.
And now coming real soon to a war zone near you (the immediates).....
-Ukraine
-Taiwan
-Israel/Middle East
Now, I'm absolutely sure these "immediates" will work out real good for us --- NOT!
IDK if he does, and I don't think he knows either.
Someone(s) want to be and they are succeeding. Europe aflame and getting stabbed, Mideast about to boil over, South America getting hotter. How long before the far east turns to turmoil?
No kidding. What does it cost to send a carrier strike group halfway around the world compared to what it would cost to shut down our own border?
Just in time for elections.
Thought it would be 1)Cyber FUBAR, 2)Bird Flu 3)War
Looks like war wins.
I hate these people.
