    If Netanyahu wants Trump in office there’s not much out there with a higher impact than getting an American Carrier group sucked into a war with Iran and then publicly saying the democrats aren’t willing to really fight. Add in assertions they’re putting Americans in danger without letting them defend themselves…

    Yeah, Biden dropping out was good but it opened the door to some real fuckery because Biden just cannot bring himself to realize the problem in the ME right now is Israel.

        Well yea, because warfare has been a “man’s game” for well over 2000 years. I heard an interview with an undecided (woman) voter who was concerned that, even if western societies are more equal to women, the leaders from countries that don’t give women rights won’t respect her and the US by extension. When the interviewer asked her about powerful women in other countries like Germany, she said it’s different because “those countries” are smaller than the US.

      Having the US overthrow yet another government in the ME isn’t going to fix things

      And yes the threat is Israel escalating the war to force the US to help

        I can think of one ME government that could use a change of leadership. And it’s also the one we don’t have to attack to change.

          If you’re talking about Israel then that’s what I was addressing

          If you’re talking about Turkey or Egypt then why?
