It’s interesting that Israel’s ISR can figure out where an Iranian general is located in a foreign country … & kill him & his staff but can’t adequately look after a clearly marked three vehicle civilian aid convoy leaving one of their secure locations ultimately without killing all of them … don’t you mean?

It’s interesting that Israel’s ISR can figure out where an Iranian general is located in a foreign country but can’t adequately deal with a militia within its own borders.

Then you have Uncle Sam playing a comedy skit, “It wasn’t me.”

If they so choose, Iran and Hezbollah can cause Israel a lot more pain without dragging the US in. I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the Pentagon right now.

What does it feel like to be a citizen of the most powerful country on earth, a country with the strongest military, biggest economy, largest cultural exporter, scientific accomplishments and whatnot - and then to know that a small country with less than 10mn ppl across the world basically makes you their bitch.

I'm not American, but boy it must be humiliating

I would say that those bumbling around in the Oval Office and nearby State, know no shame. And the part of the country that follows events in the world is looking on in disbelief and horror at the recklessness and ineptitude of our leaders. The others, well, they voted for this, and are to some degree bent on doing it again!

It's not humiliating for me.

It's just rather sad for me to survey the present state and see how far my countrymen have moved away from both God, and the rule of law.

In my experience there's no connection between Israel and most who identify as Jewish in NY City. Further, most who identify as Jewish vote Democrat. This has been the case for many years. Obama, Hillary, and Biden have been openly contemptuous of Netanyahu, Obama apparently making Bibi use servants' entrance to White House. US exists for 1 reason, to sell war hardware and to prevent Americans from attending to their own country. No election can change this. Breakup of US, ie, separating taxpayers from the Pentagon, is the only solution.

US Assures Iran It "Had No Involvement" In Embassy Strike As IDF Claims Only A 'Military Building' Hit

The Biden administration was notified just minutes before the major Israeli airstrikes on the Iranian Embassy complex in Damascus on Monday, US and Israeli officials have told Axios; however, the Israeli side wasn't asking for a greenlight, the report emphasizes.

The US on Tuesday directly communicated to Iran that it "had no involvement" or advanced knowledge of the strike on the embassy annex which killed top Iranian commanders, including Brig. Gen. Mohammad Reza Zahedi, who reportedly oversaw IRGC Quds Force operations in Syria and Lebanon.

Biden says Ukraine wasn't involved. And Uganda neither.

That seems like a lie to me, Mark. This administration has a pattern of lies and deceit that is becoming more apparent every day to not just those who support Trump, but more and more Americans of every persuasion. IMHO.
