👇👇👇👁️👁️ Goonch Sunday #1
Thank you President Biden! A great leader. nt LexVegas Sunday #2
See post 80 and justify if you can. brush Monday #83
Your post 80 has nothing to do with the THAAD system being deployed to Israel, MarineCombatEngineer Monday #86
Excellent news. MarineCombatEngineer Sunday #3
Yeah, Fuck the Hamas, Hezbollah, & Iranian Terrorists Cha Sunday #9
Oh, you know, MarineCombatEngineer Sunday #10
Yeah I know. I support Fighting & Eliminating Terrorists.. That's My Priority. Cha Sunday #12
Yup, and it's not an offensive missile system, it's purely defensive, MarineCombatEngineer Sunday #14
Yeah, it would be helpful IF the OP was understood before Cha Sunday #16

Things have changed drastically. This is related but a whole other matter. brush Sunday #80
What about it? It's a plan developed by retired military personnel Mosby Monday #87
Certainly understandable given the threat that Israel faces rollin74 Sunday #4
I don't like it, politically or I guess strategically underpants Sunday #5
I agree. anciano Sunday #6
Agreed. The last thing we need right now is losing Arab American votes totodeinhere Sunday #19
Why would Arab-Americans be bothered? DFW Monday #82
Young voters don't care Sympthsical Sunday #22
.5 to .7% in how many states determine this election? underpants Sunday #32
If we lose by some vanishingly small amount Sympthsical Sunday #55
I agree. It was my first thought when I read about it. And quite honestly, I'm just as worried about friendly fire. Jmb 4 Harris-Walz Sunday #28
So you're saying that Nuttyahoo will purposely kill US troops in Israel to harm MarineCombatEngineer Sunday #30
Do you trust Netanyahu after all the stuff he's pulled in the last few months? Jmb 4 Harris-Walz Sunday #37
I don't trust Nuttyahoo, MarineCombatEngineer Sunday #40
But there is a risk that, with US troops on the ground, wnylib Sunday #79
Post removed Post removed Sunday #70
Agree cilla4progress Sunday #78
Seriously? We can't give Ukraine such help but we think Israel needs more help bombing neighboring countries? brush Sunday #7
Deploying the THAAD missile system is not helping Israel bomb MarineCombatEngineer Sunday #8
The point is Ukraine needs that help. Israel is doing ok on it's own and is anything but helpless. brush Sunday #13
What makes you think that Ukraine isn't getting that type of help? MarineCombatEngineer Sunday #15
This message was self-deleted by its author brush Sunday #77
The situation is entirely different. Jmb 4 Harris-Walz Sunday #31
Ukraine could certainly use the defensive batteries being given to Israel. brush Sunday #33
THAAD is NOT an offensive weapons system, MarineCombatEngineer Sunday #34
I'm quite aware of this fact... I was talking about weapons given to Ukraine, not THAAD. Jmb 4 Harris-Walz Sunday #41
If Ukraine requests that system, MarineCombatEngineer Sunday #45
This is defensive help from us. Elessar Zappa Sunday #11
Terrible fucking idea dsp3000 Sunday #17
Why? MarineCombatEngineer Sunday #18
Some folks don't seem to like things that make it more difficult to kill Jews, I suppose. tritsofme Sunday #21
It would seem so, MarineCombatEngineer Sunday #23
I don't want to increase the chance of dead US soldiers, let alone one month before the most consequential election dsp3000 Sunday #44
And just who would kill those US troops? MarineCombatEngineer Sunday #46
I understand that this is defensive. But I am opposed to sending any more help to Israel totodeinhere Sunday #20
It's your right to be opposed, MarineCombatEngineer Sunday #24
Innocent Palistinians are being slaughtered everyday. totodeinhere Sunday #27
It'll stop when HAMAs, Hizbollah, Iran and all the other terrorist orgs. decide to stop attacking MarineCombatEngineer Sunday #29
I am not defending any of Israel's enemies but it was Bibi, not they who totodeinhere Sunday #42
Fair enough. MarineCombatEngineer Sunday #47
President Biden and our Arab allies thought that it was a good deal totodeinhere Sunday #51
Agreed. nt MarineCombatEngineer Sunday #56
Then why are you not advocating pressure on Hamas? wnylib Monday #85
I agree everyone is allowed their own opinions. I guess my confusion is why the US is so set in protecting Israel when Jmb 4 Harris-Walz Sunday #35
Israel is an ally, whether or not Nuttyahoo is in power or not, MarineCombatEngineer Sunday #36
One other thing, MarineCombatEngineer Sunday #38
No I don't. HAMAs are guilty of horrific atrocities and the terrorists should be eradicated for their actions. Jmb 4 Harris-Walz Sunday #48
... MarineCombatEngineer Sunday #49
It has a lot to do with the influence AIPAC has on both political parties. n/t totodeinhere Sunday #43
There's a big difference in supplying a defensive system soandso Sunday #25
What you believe or don't believe matters not one whit to the Biden Admin. MarineCombatEngineer Sunday #26
I think it may also involve classified information that perhaps the U.S. would prefer to keep within its own JohnSJ Sunday #53
I suspect you're right, probably one of the reasons it's not deployed to Ukraine. nt MarineCombatEngineer Sunday #57
Israel doesn't have any THAADs manicdem Sunday #66
So we refuse to send troops to Ukraine but it is OK to send them to Israel? walkingman Sunday #39
This is exactly what Bibi wants ThePartyThatListens Sunday #50
Not really "sending troops", but to utilize a defensive system. JohnSJ Sunday #52
Wow! Omnipresent Sunday #54
President Biden and VP Harris are puppets? tritsofme Sunday #58
IKR? MarineCombatEngineer Sunday #59
And we know of course, puppet master is a more polite way of saying "the Jews" tritsofme Sunday #61
Just what are you insinuating with, "The Jews" comment? Omnipresent Sunday #67
I think it's pretty clear. You're the one here accusing Biden and VP Harris of being their "puppets" tritsofme Sunday #72
No answer from you about The Jews" comment? Omnipresent Sunday #74
What answer are you looking for? The implication made is clear, that Biden and Harris are puppets for "the Jews" tritsofme Sunday #75
Are we supposed to be part of a cult, like the magas? Omnipresent Sunday #60
So Pres. Biden is part of a cult? MarineCombatEngineer Sunday #62
I never said President Biden is a part of a cult. Omnipresent Sunday #63
It sure seems like you inferred it. MarineCombatEngineer Sunday #65
Maybe you're projecting that, because that is how you feel. Omnipresent Sunday #68
Or maybe you worded it badly and that's why I took it to mean you meant MarineCombatEngineer Sunday #69
Or maybe you meant to say, you mean maybe to mean meant? Omnipresent Sunday #73
What about Ukraine rich7862 Sunday #64
?? How does this hurt Ukraine? wnylib Monday #84
I remember when we sent troops to Vietnam to stop the falling dominoes. Ping Tung Sunday #71
some great points on both sides here--I'm just glad this is in Biden's steady hands cadoman Sunday #81
