Not a chance. Do you think it’s 1983?

Once again, it seems that the military runs the US now. Here they’re making foreign policy. Last time they pledged to keep spending if Congress didn’t approve more money for Ukraine. Shouldn’t civilians control these thing? Why isn’t our idiot President saying these things?

Israel needs to lay siege to the Gaza Strip. Force the 2 million people who live there to turn all members of Hamas over or they will all starve to death. It is basically guaranteed to work. It has worked just about every time in history. Caesar conquered France like this in 52 BC.

The pentagon is not the head of the armed forces and should not be making these pronouncements. Brandon is, wait, never mind......

Not young children and infants.

And they are being killed.

It is never ok to kill infants.
