The U.S. military port that is intended to provide humanitarian assistance to Gaza is expected to take up to two months to construct and requires over 1,000 U.S. servicemembers to complete, the Pentagon said.

In a press conference on Friday, Press secretary Maj. Gen. Patrick Ryder told reporters that that port would take at least 1,000 U.S. forces.

"We anticipate that it'll take over 1,000 U.S. forces to participate in building this capability," Ryder said.

"As far as time frame, several weeks, likely up to 60 days in order to deploy the forces and construct the causeway and the pier," he said.

That’s why there is no reason to ask. Of course it will go to HAMAS.

[DesertRhino]

Washington DC is the focus of evil in todays world. The only reason Hamas came to power is that we forced elections and supported them. Now we are literally supplying the most despicable terrorist base seen that conducted October 7th.
DC is disgusting and supports Nazis in Ukraine, Hamas over there, cartels in Mexico, every communist and deviant and child raping/grooming monster in America.

"Did American citizens have a say in this?"

I don't think the American people have had a say in anything that goes on in DC for quite a while..

DC, and the American people, have become the sugar daddy for the elites of the entire world...

Actually, We're being mugged.!!

[trebb]

Gonna give the terrorists a port...what could go wrong?

[Mark17]

Yep.

[PIF]

Now Hamas will be able to bring in more heavy weapons and even tanks. Plus, after a short ride, they will be able to escape undetected en mass to anywhere in the world. JoeB is absolutely brilliant!

[EQAndyBuzz]

Every foot of pier we build, we should be able to complete a mile of wall on the southern border.

[Flint]

Gee, I wonder if Hamas has any rockets that they might deploy against 1000 US military and ships? The other option is to let the US build the port then take it over so they have a nice dock to launch vessels against Israel.

[DownInFlames]

It will be over by then. Israel’s southern push to the Egyptian border starts soon and so does full blown anarchy.

[Chode]

Perfect...

[Captain Jack Aubrey]

What right does the US have to do this? Why doesn’t Israel stop it?

There is already a port in Gaza City. What is the need for this second port?

IDF will do it for free using Peaceful Nuclear Explosions like we did during Project Plowshare/Chariot. We were going to nuke AK and build a nuclear engineered harbor. A bigger plan was to use nukes in Panama and Nicaragua in order to build a larger Panama canal for aircraft carriers and tankers.

Proposed uses for nuclear explosives under Project Plowshare included widening the Panama Canal,
constructing a new sea-level waterway through Nicaragua nicknamed the Pan-Atomic Canal,
cutting paths through mountainous areas for highways,
and connecting inland river systems.

Other proposals involved blasting caverns for water, natural gas, and petroleum storage.
Serious consideration was also given to using these explosives for various mining operations.
One proposal suggested using nuclear blasts to connect underground aquifers in Arizona.
Another plan involved surface blasting on the western slope of California's Sacramento Valley for a water transport project.

One of the first serious cratering proposals that came close to being carried out was Project Chariot, which would have used several hydrogen bombs to create an artificial harbor at Cape Thompson, Alaska.

Then, if Democrats win, it will be turned over to the PA, enabling Hamas to import more weapons. With Israel being punished if it interferes.

Maybe Haiti should declare war on Israel so they can get a new port.

“What is the need for this second port?”

Joe has to get the “uncommitted” from the river to the sea voters back on board. So we will spend billions and put our troops in harms way so this demon can get re-elected.

[LuxAerterna]

It’s a barely disguised smokescreen for providing direct aid to Hamas. Israel already has screened corridors, to bypass Hamas, for providing humanitarian aid. Also, don’t be surprised if these so called “temporary” ports also end up getting used by Iran, the Houthis, etc., to smuggle in arms to Hamas.

[The Louiswu]

If I’m one of America’s many enemies, I’m salivating right now, this is shaping up to be a huge target of opportunity, there is no downside to attacking American troops and ships.

[pangaea6]

Big Weapon Corp gotta make their money somehow

[Eagles6]

Exactly.

[XRdsRev]

This is another “genius” idea of the State Department that puts the military directly in harm’s way.

[moovova]

Biden’s hoping cine American troops are killed so he can blame Israel.
