    Harris would have been all in on an attack against Iran. I would know, I voted for her.


    It feels like it is Winter 2002/3 all over again. Same bull **** arguments for the same war. Same people supporting it. Same people against it. Almost certainly the same outcome.

    Harris would not have been bombing Iran. Thats freaking insane. She supported and advocated for withdrawing from Afghanistan. You have no evidence to back your theory.

    Democrats and Republicans have a game of who loves Israel more and the people who lose are the Middle Easterners caught in the cross fire. It’s been that way since 9/11, and by the looks of it that is never going to change.

    Yeah? She said what she had to say to win over the support of never Trumpers who were previously neocons like bill Kristol. Candidates say stuff during a general election to win over the support of normies. She was one of the biggest voices in the WH about a gaza ceasefire and supported the Afghan withdrawal even when everyone else bashed Biden.

    Brother, calm down and take a deep breath. I despise both of those individuals in the video with every fiber of my being. But even if I hate Cruz and agree with the line of questioning being posed to him, it doesn't mean I turn my horseshit meter off. It's fair to ask where the sudden turn in rhetoric came from in regards to certain members of the MAGA faction. Tucker being deep in the Russian bag is well known, and explains so much about him, Bannon, MTG, Rand Paul, and various other soulless ghouls floating around the MAGA toilet bowl.

    Drone strikes in the middle East were cut by 80% under biden. We ended an actual forever war in Afghanistan. We forced the Saudis into a ceasefire with Yemen. Arabs didnt suffer in the cross fire. I have no idea what you're talking about

    H.R.938 - United States-Israel Strategic Partnership Act of 2014
    355 Cosponsors (207 Republicans, 148 Democrats)
    “In 2008, Congress enacted legislation requiring that any proposed U.S. arms sale to any country in the Middle East other than Israel must include a notification to Congress with a determination that the sale or export of such would not adversely affect Israel’s qualitative military edge over military threats to Israel.”

    The legislation defines QME as “the ability to counter and defeat any credible conventional military threat from any individual state or possible coalition of states or from nonstate actors, while sustaining minimal damages and casualties, through the use of superior military means, possessed in sufficient quantity, including weapons, command, control, communication, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities that in their technical characteristics are superior in capability to those of such other individual or possible coalition of states or nonstate actors.” The details of official U.S. assessments of QME are generally classified.

    The U.S.-Israel Strategic Partnership Act (P.L. 113-296) enacted in December 2014 requires more frequent QME assessments and executive-legislative consultations. It also requires that QME determinations include evaluations of how potential arms sales would change the regional balance, while identifying measures Israel may need to take in response to the potential sales, and assurances or possible assurances from the United States to Israel as a result of the potential sales.

    What point are you trying to make? You're a smart guy and I agree with you on 95% of things so this is kinda pointless. Agree to disagree about Harris.
