@no1marauder saidI think a U.S strike force sitting in the eastern med as a deterrent to Iranian backed hezbollah will save lives on both sides especially civilian lives in northern Israel and southern Lebanon
Israel just called up 300,000 reservists to add to the far strongest military in the Middle East. https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/checkpoint/audio/2018910521/israel-calls-up-300-000-army-reservists-as-counter-attacks-ramp-up

This isn’t happening in a geopolitical vacuum, the US led plan for Saudi, Israel and themselves to be a counterbalance to Iran and its proxies in the region will surely have affected irans decision to send Hamas into Israel in order to scupper the plan by virtue of Israel’s classic over response to the invasion. They have a history of killing at least 5 times as many Palestinians as they lose from their own military and civilian ranks.
Saudis nvolvement will not survive the massive loss of civilian lives that Israel is about to impose on Gaza
@no1marauder saidthe timeline was not the issue…pulling the troops out before the people was the issue…but you know that shytweasel
A "lie"? Trump admitted as much:
"Former President Donald Trump has praised President Joe Biden's plan to withdraw all remaining US troops from Afghanistan as a "wonderful and positive thing to do," drawing criticism from some Republicans.
Biden on Wednesday formally announced that he planned to withdraw all troops stationed in Afghanistan by September 11, bringing ...[text shortened]... ://www.businessinsider.com/trump-biden-afghanistan-pullout-wonderful-and-positive-thing-to-do-2021-4
@mott-the-hoople saidAll American citizens got out safely except those in the military unfortunately killed in the bombing at the airport. The withdrawal was actually a brilliant logistical success considering the numbers pulled out in such a short window.

And, as usual, it turns out your claim something was a "lie" turns out to be completely false despite your attempt to goalposts move.
@kevcvs57 saidFar from being a deterrent, it and the US rush to provide extra munitions to Israel while it is waging an indiscriminate slaughter in Gaza will almost certainly encourage Netanyahu to continue his campaign as long as possible. And since Israel and Hezbollah have already traded shots, political logic will eventually compel the US to launch air strikes in Southern Lebanon which will surely lead to increased civilian deaths.

Better to stay out of this mess; there are no "white hats" here.
@no1marauder saida success as far as arming terrorist with $80 billion in weapons that they are now using in Israel.

@no1marauder saidWell time will tell but the impression is that they are there to suppress any other regional actors from getting involved which would drag the us into a regional conflict for sure regardless of where the fleet is right now.

I don’t think it’s politically viable for any US regime to allow Israel to be attacked on multiple fronts by proxies of Iran.
I would hope it’s also not politically viable for the US to keep feeding Israel ammo with which to pummel the civilians of Gaza for any length of time. It’s difficult though if the US allows Israeli munitions to deplete too far they would threaten Israel’s defensive position re its many adversaries in the region but nobody should want to facilitate the slaughter of Gaza’s civilians indefinitely.
@no1marauder saiddoesnt mean much coming from a terrorist loving POS
A fairy tale for the gullible.

Israel has never deliberately attacked women and children...you are a low life POS for saying that as right now Iran has killed hundreds of women and children and continue to hold them hostage.
@mott-the-hoople saidIsrael is deliberately attacking civilians now as well as imposing a blockade of even food to Gaza. Both are as much violations of the laws of war as Hamas has committed in their operation.

How do you have information no one else does?
you dont! you make things up
@mott-the-hoople saidI have the same information available to anyone on the web. The ongoing Israeli airstrikes on Gaza have killed 687 people including 140 children.https://www.cbsnews.com/news/israel-hamas-war-death-toll-gaza-strip-palestinians-israelis-latest-news-day-3/
