Should the US join Israel in bombing Iran?

[JLW]

Israel made the request but it was rejected by the Trump Administration..for now.

I agree with Trump’s decision.

This is not an American fight.

Do you agree with the Trump Administration decision?

Israel doesn't need us.

 

[JLW]

Israel doesn't need us.

Why did they ask for support then?

 

[Blaster]

We are providing air defense for Israel.

 

[airplanemechanic]

Why did they ask for support then?

They want our help, they don't need it.

 

[Woodznutz]

Israel doesn't need us.

They need our armaments.

 

[airplanemechanic]

They need our armaments.

That's right, not our people. We have guided missile destroyers in the Med Sea shooting down some of these incoming ballistic missiles. That helps Israel. Once we start bombing Iran, then they can start bombing US bases. Once they do that, we're in a full blown war. Right now, they would have to make the first move.

 

[Woodznutz]

Why did they ask for support then?

It's prophecy. We will be dragged into it eventually. See Ezekiel 5.

 

[IM2]

Let them fight for themselves. The only reason they decided to bomb Iran is because they think we'll help them.

Should the US join Israel in bombing Iran?​

The US should tell the Zionist lobby to F*off, pull the rug out from under the MIC, take care of its own people, and make friends with any country that is willing to wish the US good luck and maybe even lend a hand.

Well only if we need to test out some new ordnance in uncontested airspace.

That and there's lots of JDAMs sitting unloved in hangers all over the world.

Um no, they bombed Iran because Iran said as soon as they get a nuclear weapon they will use it on Israel. Israel has something to say about that.

 

[JWBooth]

Fuck no.

 

[TimFitz]

Israel doesn't need us.

Isreal wouldn’t have dared without the US standing behind them with a blank check.

Without the US, Isreal would have to get along with its neighbors and not behave like the rouge stat the US has always tolerated.

 

[JLW]

Um no, they bombed Iran because Iran said as soon as they get a nuclear weapon they will use it on Israel. Israel has something to say about that.

That is speculation. How do you know they would have used the bomb? Many thought the same when the Pakis got the bomb.

They can defend themselves, but this is Israel's war not ours.

T first thing they will do is block the Straits of Hormuz.

The gas lines will follow very shortly.

Isreal hasn’t used its bombs.

Except they didn’t say that.

 

[MarathonMike]

Iran has virtually no air defense now. Their Regime is teetering on collapse I hope they aren't stupid enough to attack US troops. But they're radical Muslims so who knows? The Mullahs have probably already left the country and chilling out by the pool in Qatar.

 

[Darkwind]

Anyone who believes that Iran would not use a nuke on Israel if it acquires a bomb has the mental acuity of a 3-year-old.
