    It's like the Israelis really are playing 3D chess. Blow up the pagers and force them to use another compromised communications procedure. Gotta wonder how many Hezbollah had those walk-in talkies to their ears when they went off. Can you hear me NOW??? A whole new page in the art of warfare.......

    Israel has been caught lying time and time again. To choose this moment to believe that all they did was assassinate a couple thousand terrorists is naive beyond belief.

    If that risk isn't legit, then why did the US balk at green-lighting the precision missile attacks?

    To bleed Russia dry. The US has no incentive to move this along. The Allies want Russia tied down and stuck in Ukraine for as long as possible.

    So either Ukraine is somehow able to strike a blow that destroys Russia or this will go on for a long time until Putin loses power or Russia simply can't do it any longer.

    Ukraine reminds me of when the CIA supported the Mujahideen to fight the Russians in Afghanistan. I believe it was around an 8 year war. Once the Mujahideen got the stingers to take down helicopters. The war was financed by USA & Saudi as they matched what we committed. Eventually the Russians gave up and left.

    Just sayin', that basically sounds like saying, "Sacrifice Ukrainians to hurt Russia." These are the kind of comments that appear more pro-war than pro-Ukraine/pro-sovereignty.

    Breaking down communication and supply lines is generally the best way to win a war

    Even Leon Panetta, former head of CIA and Obama's Secretary of Defense called what Israel did terrorism.

    Introducing terrorism in consumer goods is straight up dystopian and has repercussions going forward.

    Oh, I understand. It sucks, but that's what I think is going on.

    It's not what I would do, but I have morals.

    So you're saying the US has the ability to end the war now, but is choosing to prolong it?

    (and no that is not all what happened, but it's facinating to see the stories you fabricate, in order to justify the insane policies you support. That in itself would be an act of evil.)

    No. Nowhere did I say the US has the ability to end the war now. Certainly not without killing an incredibly large number of people and drastically increasing the risk of nuclear fallout.

    What you don't address in your condemnation of Israel and Biden's support of Israel is the fact that Hamas attacked Israel and killed over 1.200 people and took about 250 Israeli hostages. They have continuously refused to agree to any cease fire agreements and now Hezbollah - who are sponsored by Iran are bombing Israel. What do you think would happen to Israel without US military support? You talk like this is a one sided war by Israel on Palestine but there are reasons for this current conflict that you seem to want to ignore.

    The last thing Iran wants is any kind of Abraham accord with neighboring Arab countries. What role has Iran theocracy played in bringing about peace to the region?

    Iran launching missiles directly. Is it good they aren't hiding behind their proxies anymore? Idk if this counts as an October Surprise, but first on the list I guess..

    It is one sided. It’s not a war, it’s a genocide and land grab, like it’s been since 1948. Israel has murdered tens of thousands of innocent people while crying ‘defense’. Now they are dragging the world into greater conflict. It’s disgusting. They are terrorists and should be cut off from US aid and left to fend for themselves. They are evil.

    They need to be rid of Bibi and put his ass in jail for war crimes.

    Cutting off Israel should not be an option. But we should heavily influence them as a peaceful nation if we're also going to be helping to defend them.
