Pentagon to send ships, aircraft closer to Israel in show of force
Pentagon to send ships, aircraft closer to Israel in show of force
DOD will also send munitions to the Israel Defense Forces.
Someone please educate me here.... Are shows of force like this really effective? Everyone knows that the US isn't going to participate in this thing directly, right?
It's a show of force to dissuade anyone like Iran (active in Syria right now) from getting any silly ideas. Beyond that I don't think the US will step foot there, nor does Israel need their help to crush the Hamas terrorists.
Ahh makes a lot more sense when you factor in other powers! Thanks :)
It's a deterrent for Iran or other countries that might think they can hop in while Israel is weak
Ahh gotcha! Thanks :)
If you missed the memo, it's the 50th aniversary of the yom kippur war, which started in a surprise attack from the arabs lol
100% this is to make them a target and if the Palestinians fire that's an excuse to attack.
Ha, you think we need an excuse in the US to attack? We most likely won’t do anything right now, but it’s just some political grandstanding.
Hamas is supported by Saudi , Jordanian., Iran
What a cluster fuck
Fuck me, I bet you're right. That's so fucked up.
God, please use an ounce of independent thought and don't just internalize the first thing you read.
Americans were killed in this attack, and the US gives Israel absolute support. There is absolutely zero need to fish for an excuse to attack Gaza.
It's probably to send a signal to Iran to not get any ideas of getting further involved and lend some support to Israel. Not everything has to be a conspiracy.
I hate it too, but they want this conflict.
What did i miss? U.S + Israel are buddies and pretty the same country?

Are we aiming for USS Liberty redux?
