Shortly after the terror attacks of October 7, the United States’ position initially appeared to be very clear. This was Israel’s war to fight and we would provide material and vocal support, but allow them to handle it as they saw fit. That lasted for about two weeks. By this past weekend, the situation had shifted noticeably, with threats of escalation showing up to the north of Israel from Hezbollah and rocket attacks on American posts in various places, including Iraq. And now both the Secretary of State and the Defense Secretary are clearly preparing the country for the possibility that the entire situation may blow

Why the rush? Biden financed Iran sos they could go to war with Israel. Why not just watch the fruits of Diaper Joe's investments? And it doens't make sense for the US to go to war with a country we financed to make war.

Yep. We're ready. Got all our investments in oil futures, munitions manufacturers, and safe houses all set.
Oh, you mean troop readiness?

Remember the good old days when Trump was in office and we acheived the goal of freeing ourselves from dependency on middle east oil? Such is the progress of Bumbling Biden. Now we're back to the bad old days, American oil production is highly restricted and once again we're financing both sides of this 4,000 year old family feud. Stay out of it.

Gasoline/Diesel, who needs that? We bought a gross of AA batteries and some looooong extension cords, the hormone pills are packed, and we've printed up a list of acceptable pronouns to pass out, and we have come cap pistols since we don't have much ammo left. Ready? Hell yeah, we're ready. s/o
Do I see doom ahead? I hope not but I am worried.

And until Traitor Joe and his evil minions funded Iran to start this war.....we didn't NEED to be ready for war in the Middle East.
In fact, Trump had things way settled down and the Saudis on track to recognize Israel and stop this.
The Persians have been causing trouble in the eastern Med for 3,000 years. Just ask Leonidas who he told "Molon Labe" (come and take them, meaning his and his men's weapons).

Afghanistan and Iraq were such huge successes why not go again. Oh and by the way, p(R)resident Sniffs Alot Crappypants left all your fightin' gear in Afghanistan and all you have left is your pride flag wavers and overweight white supremacists. So have fun with that.

It is not out of possibility that the commies in WDC are working to stir things up so much that the 2024 election will be cancelled at the very least and possibly martial law imposed. And with all the military age illegals now in country something like 'Red Dawn' may be headed our way.

Yea, right. This is the worst administration that I have ever witnessed. No one has the slightest idea of what they have to do. We are ready for nothing, not ever a spelling bee. What a bunch of Scum Bags.

Our artillery weapons supply, strategic oil reserve and treasury are depleted. Our sources for oil are in the potential war zone. 70% of our warfighters are not in desireable physical condition and our "leadership" sux.
Yeah, let's get it on you two clowns.

BTW those "dumb" 155 mm artillery shells we so freely share with Ukraine cost around $4,000 each and the "smart" ones are $10,000 or more.
Ukraine use hundreds a day repelling invaders while our border is porous
