    I vehemently dislike Putin but Israel and Ukraine are two entirely different situations. The fact of the matter is that the ONLY reason that corrupt members of Congress (probably 2/3 of them) continually fall all over themselves to appropriate aid to Ukraine is because they're getting a cut - a significant cut.

    Do you have evidence that 2/3rd of Congress are getting a cut of Ukraine aid?

    Totally correct. The Biden/Obama Regime was feckless to deter this massive escalation by Iran, whom they have helped to fund and arm, and now Israel has been placed in a position of having to respond lest they invite more atracks by showing weakness, which is the SOP for the Biden/Obama clowns.

    They're corrupt in everything they do.

    So you have no actual evidence.

    Israel has no choice. They were put into this position.

    Did Burisma pay Hunter Biden in return for political favors from his dad?

    What does that have to do with Congress as neither Biden was or is a member of Congress then nor now. They certainly aren’t 2/3rds of Congress.

    For that matter if all Congress does is corrupt then that would mean that aid to Israel
    Is also corrupt.

    Of course they had a choice. Anytime you launch an attack that is a choice.

    It's a probability that there is some level of corruption involved with aid to Israel, but Israel isn't Ukraine.

    V.P. Biden traded favors for bribes. It's also been reported that sons of Nancy Pelosi, Mitt Romney, and John Kerry were getting paid. It's unfortunate that the U.S. doesn't have an honest, objective, investigative bureau to look into such things.

    I guess it's "attack" or surrender. What happened the last time Jews did that?

    So no direct evidence then.

    It’s not a binary choice.

    Republicans and Republican supporters in this thread are nuts. They say Biden wants WW3 but at the same time ******** on him for not calling for a nuclear holocaust on Tehran. They say Biden gave up on Israel when it was our intelligence and F35s that were shooting down the drones and missiles over Jordan. Or that we are still giving them munitions and aid even if we say “kill fewer civilians”.

    Finally:
    God bless the 99+% intercept rate. Whether it was David’s sling, Arrow, or the Iron dome, the attack showed that the air defense can and does work. It also hurt me to think this is technology we are withholding from the Ukrainians facing the same threats daily.

    To be fair Iran gave ample warning to the US and Israel while using their easiest ordinance to take down.

    I doubt Iran's intentions were to cause actual damage. It was more of a show of force.

    This was a "let's call us even" type of attack.

    Let's see if Israel sees it that way. I doubt it.
