The U.S. should be helping Israel conduct the attacks on Iran's nuclear program [tr] (Video at URL)

[Its All Over Except ...]

...

Iranian nuclear proliferation is not just an existential threat to Israel, but also an American problem. We've let it go on for too long.

[rdcbn1]

The Israeli operations are being carried out perfectly.

They are achieving their desired goals with stunning effect.

The primary goal is to stop the Iranian nuclear weapons programs in their tracks to prevent a nuclear break out without doing catastrophic radiological damage.

Hopefully this will bring the Iran to the negotiations table with a new attitude so the UIS will not have to go in and finish the job.

No.

“No arming or helping them.”

We’ve been arming them for years. We also have two carrier groups currently around Iran, the USS Harry S. Truman and the USS Carl Vinson. The carrier USS Nimitz is in the Indo-Pacific and could be directed toward the Middle East if needed, and the USS George Washington just left its port in Japan and could be directed to the region if so ordered.

The US forces in the region have been taking precautionary measures for days. Typically around 30,000 troops are based in the Middle East, and about 40,000 troops are in the region now. The Navy has additional assets that it could surge to the Middle East if needed, particularly its aircraft carriers and the warships that sail with them.

We are there to protect our assets from terrorist strikes. We are, and have had it known for years, we are allies with Israel. That’s why we have morons at colleges do anti-jewish riots.

Bolton is of no importance.

Proved himself an idiot and fake a while ago.

No. No arming or helping them. This isn’t our problem, Israel has a very powerful military, and can handle this.

That mantra is as irrational as it was when you said it multiple times before. Thus I will repeat what I told you.

While not all involvement is right, in the real world ostrich isolationism is irrational. Any nuke armed, ballistic missile, war mongering country, and aligned with other countries aiming the same at the US, is an enemy to the US.

And while Western Europe, as well as most of the US is committing slow suicide via its acceptance of entrenched Wokeism, these are not nuke threats, unlike the 3 aligned countries that were so before Ukraine.

As regards Israel, Iran should never have gotten this far.

US kicked the can down the road for years; Israel attacked can.

Iran vows new nuclear steps in response to IAEA censure

Iran on Thursday repudiated a declaration from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that it's not complying with its nuclear obligations, and said it would enhance aspects of its nuclear program in response.

That was before Israel (reacted) attacked this recalcitrant enemy of it and the US. It actually was warranted and saves lives, as would have dealing with Germany by stopping it earlier.

Add to that:

Not meddling so much as vermin control & good housekeeping to keep rats / mice out of your home.

[Kazan]

That is last thing Trump should consider doing.

[Mr. Blond]

Uh, Israel hasn’t signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty either.

[Forward the Light Brigade]

I believe we are helping Israel to shatter Iran’s Nuke Dream. We are just doing it under the table with England and Saudi Arabia. Maybe Ukraine helped out as well. The hope is that Iran will stagger into civil war and rebellion and be gone. I believe that is a fantasy. The war continues.

[FreedomForce]

I don’t have any problems with us providing intelligence assistance or with us shifting our military assets to prepare for contingencies, but we should not actively attack Iran.

[SaveFerris]

[I wish they would both put a cork in it.]

Works for me

They’re so wrong on so much....

That being said, I actually am for helping Israel - at least behind the scenes for now and of course that’s pretty well certain

[1974 was way overrated.]

Fine. If 1974 won't work, I offer you the 1977 AMC Pacer D/L Wagon (I couldn't find an exact 1974 Pacer at first) - enjoy the sleek lines of this beauty - sporty, comfort, visibility AND with optional mag wheels - you think you hate it now, just wait until you drive it

Uh, Israel hasn’t signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty either.

True.

JFK did pressure Israel to sign.

Concerned About Nuclear Weapons Potential, John F. Kennedy Pushed for Inspection of Israel Nuclear Facilities

Kennedy pressured the government of Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion to prevent a military nuclear program, particularly after stage-managed tours of the Dimona facility for U.S. government scientists in 1961 and 1962 raised suspicions within U.S. intelligence that Israel might be concealing its underlying nuclear aims. Kennedy’s long-run objective, documents show, was to broaden and institutionalize inspections of Dimona by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

LBJ ended the pressure.

Lyndon Johnson: Israel Has Had No Better Friend.

LBJ soon abandoned pressure on Israel to come clean about the Dimona reactor. He increased arms sales to Israel and in 1968, after Israel's primary supplier, France, imposed an embargo as a means of cultivating ties in the Arab world...

If you really want to take out Iran's centrifuges you need to use the most powerful and largest bunker busters. We are the only ones who have them. We are the only ones who have airplanes that are large enough to carry them and drop them on the targets that are very deeply buried. Under layers of concrete too.

Israel has some bunker busters we sold them and some they manufactured. They are good, but not strong enough to take out Natanz centrifuges. We must do this. Or perhaps we loan the Israelis the airplanes to drop them. They pilot them.

 

Only this one can waste Natanz centrifuges. Only we can deliver it/

[jonrick46]

America can’t afford the cost of a major military effort while we are digging out of the havoc the Biden Regime caused our economy. The Iran war will have consequences on our gas prices and they are now going up. We are also close to having “the Summer of Love 2.0” which would have an impact on the economy.

[Stepan12]

Not just Lindsay Graham -- I support what he says. Iran wants to hit the United States, too.

Note this picture:

Notice that the eggshell representing the U.S. is shattered before the eggshell of the...zionist entity is broken. This large picture is from a speech in Iran about the end of both the great and the little Satan.

Hitler apologist and neo groyper Tucker Carlson etal should put aside their eliminationist antisemitism and work for the interests of America and western civilization.

No arming or helping them. This isn’t our problem,

—
You no doubt have heard the Iranian ‘chant’ of “Death to America”? Its not a chant, its Iranian policy.

Do you know that Iran declared war on the US in 1979?

Do you know that if Iran achieves a mountable nuclear warhead and delivery system, the will use it on NYC?

Do you want to wait and see whose problem it is?

[arthurus]

The US is helping Israel. Israel can’t produce bombs and ammo fast enough to replace the ones that blow up. We resupply them but don’t talk a lot about it. Trump is using the Israeli business in Ian in his negotiations with Putin.

The GBU57a/b has been upgraded twice, since those numbers were published - it now goes much deeper then 200 feet. B-2s can carry 2 each.

Israel has the 2000 lb bunker busters - that is the max that can be carried by fighters. But if you drop enough of them on the same spot, any depth can be penetrated.
