Mission? We will figure that out later. You know one of those "We will know it when we see it."

No it won’t be a walk in the park because again , like many many many times in the past Israel is asked to fight with both hands tied behind its back

I fear a nuclear bomb in Israel one day. Then all gloves will be off but by then millions will die.

Let Israel defend itself like the Russian are doing to Ukraine

This will be a big mess. Our troops should not get involved.

It is interesting to see how various people are reacting.

For example, the A List model GiGi Haddad has now come out and angered some people with what she said. She has been staying in Taylor Swift’s house in Rhode Island with Bradley Cooper. Swift isn’t saying anything about the conflict although her good friend Ryan Reynolds donated a million bucks for the children of Gaza. But now will Swift try to protect her brand by distancing herself from Gigi.

This is a PR nightmare for companies. Hard to navigate. I don’t think America will win the PR game on this one. Biden will screw it all up.

> Get the USA into war. <

Yep. And it would be easy to use a false flag operation to do the trick.

Hamas fires a missile at a US ship or a US aircraft. This means war!

But maybe that missile was fired by Israeli operatives. Or maybe by the CIA.
Anything’s possible. But one thing’s for sure. Potato Head Biden will make a bad situation worse.
