Rubio admits Israel forced the US into attacking Iran

[Nostra]

Hasn’t Trump’s policy always been they can’t get nukes? They flat out said they had enough material for 9 nukes.

The Mossad always has the best intel inside Iran, and they knew when and where 80+ leaders were meeting, so it was time to pull the trigger.

Trump has been building up our military presence there for weeks, so to claim Israel forced us into it is pure libtard lunacy.

Again, words..don't..count.
What..was..the..immediate..threat?....answer, there were none.

Words don’t count….but because Trump saying “peacefully and patriotically let your voices be heard” caused an INSURRECTION.

We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces, ​

“Have we now delegated the most solemn decision that can be made in our society, the decision to go to war, to another country?” King asked Colby. “That’s the implication, the breathtaking implication of Secretary Rubio’s statement.”​

​

King later added that Rubio “inadvertently told the truth” that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pushed for war with Iran. The Maine senator said he supports Israel but added that no one should drive the U.S.’s decision to go to war.​

Stop deflecting. This conversation is not about J6th. No one gives a shit, feeb. Stick to the subject.
Defend your savior's words and actions. When he has consistently said he would get us involved in "no more wars".
He let our enabled little brother bully him into solving their Iran problem for them....when they weren't really a problem.

Now he's workshopping excuses for starting a war.
It will not end well for him.
If last night was any indicator, November is going to be a bloodbath for his party.

So do words matter or not?

'There absolutely was an imminent threat,' Rubio stated. 'And the imminent threat was that we knew that if Iran was attacked, and we believed they would be attacked, that they would immediately come after us, and we were not going to sit there and absorb a blow before we responded.'

Rubio said the Department of War determined that a defensive posture following an Israeli attack would only open the US to more casualties. Five American soldiers have died so far in combat.

So the leader is Israel, who has been indicted, forced the leader in the US, who is a convicted Felon into a war in the middle east. We have been here before and we pretty much know how it will end. Our children and grandchildren will be paying for this war.

Where's the quote ?

Where's the quote ?

Rubio "admits"
is there a quote ?
I found this:

Israel’s critics erupt after Rubio suggests it dragged US into war with Iran

As opponents on the left say Trump illegally followed Israel into 'war of choice,' parts of right-wing base say he 'betrayed' MAGA values by engaging in Middle East conflict

www.timesofisrael.com

The conservative commentator Matt Walsh, meanwhile, shared a video of Rubio’s initial statement and tweeted, “So he’s flat out telling us that we’re in a war with Iran because Israel forced our hand. This is basically the worst possible thing he could have said.”

I always thought it was Congress, but I guess that became old fashioned since the 70s

Since the 50’s

Officially delegated?

No.

There's an important part of his remarks being left out here and I agree with this. I've expressed similar sentiments over the past few years. Anyone thinking that Iran was cooperating with international edicts and not readying themselves to be an unstoppable powerhouse was fooling themselves.

QUESTION: Are you saying the U.S. was forced to strike because of an impending Israeli action?

SECRETARY RUBIO: No, first – well, two things I would say. Number one is: no matter what, ultimately this operation needed to happen. That’s the question of why now. But this operation needed to happen because Iran in about a year or a year and a half would cross the line of immunity, meaning they would have so many short-range missiles, so many drones, that no one could do anything about it because they could hold the whole world hostage.

Look at the damage they’re doing now. And this is a weakened Iran. Imagine a year from now. So that had to happen. Obviously, we were aware of Israeli intentions and understood what that would mean for us, and we had to be prepared to act as a result of it. But this had to happen no matter what.
