If only the sitting Democrat president could show the same sense of urgency about housing and feeding Americans as he shows about shielding Israelies from consequence.

Or for that matter its duties under international treaties to stop genocide.

The US just needs to stop actively funding and supporting the genocide, not even stop the genocide itself.

Though ig it’s a moot point since “israel” would quickly stop being able to continue it if the US support is removed.

You can thank George w Bush for getting Americans perpetually at war, which gives the president the power to attack any time as commander-in-chief. No war? No commander-in-chief power.

I’m sorry dude. Perpetual American war started LONG before Bush Jr.

The difference is that before 2022 that half the nation rallied behind Republicans pushing that agenda.

Post 2022, Democrats are identical to neocons, they just use the terms “neolib” and “progressive”, and liberals/former Democrats are told to just eat up the Progressive neocon bullshit. BeCaUsE tRuMp Is ThE eNd Of AmErIcA!

Even if Trump gets in, liberalism still exists in America. Good people are ready to step up and not let Trump end America.

The truly scary concept is not Trump, it’s letting Progressives let the Democrat party die, letting liberalism in America die, because the Progressives convinced you that they are the only one true savior of America, while they advance conservative agendas and stomp out any liberal voice of dissent.

Really though? The USA has been at war for 222 Out of 239 Years – Since 1776. I don’t think Bush started the trend.

WHY is the US getting involved?

Israel is the one that broke international law and BOMBED an embassy, killing noncombatants.

To borrow a quote from Biden and Netanyahu, Iran has the right to defend itself. Why would the US stand in the way of that?

Edit: fixed the name of the country

Just call it a police action.

The US never declared war on Iraq, Afghanistan, or even Vietnam.

When was the last time they actually got congressional approval for a new war?

Iran said that after tonight’s attack, the “matter can be deemed concluded” unless there is more violence.

So hopefully not something that will escalate further

About 31 people were treated for anxiety or injuries they sustained while heading to a protected area when sirens sounded.

Fucking lol.
