    Lmao

    > **Ukraine**: Please just let us fire on those Russian positions across the border…you already gave us the weapons…Russia has not adhered to a single red line so far and 66% Democrats are in favour of aid to Ukraine

    > **Biden** Sorry, Jack I’m not letting you escalate the war with the USSR any further

    > **Israel**: I have killed 40k civilians so far and your steadfast support to Israel is killing your electoral chances with only 18% of Democrats supportive of our campaign in Gaza and Muslim-Americans no longer backing Dems for the first time since Clinton. I hate you with every fiber of my being and have been actively torpedoing every ceasefire negotiation since winter to screw you out of a possible foreign policy achievement and and to improve Trump’s chances at winning the election.

    > **Biden**: Yes, sir, Mr. Bibi, sir! Your next aid shipment will include the soldiers to handle the weapons I’ll send to you!

    God I love Israel 🇮🇱

    This is probably just as much to do with training the US Army how to use this kit in an operational capacity against an actual threat rather than training simulations, as it is helping the Israelis.

    The THAAD system has been deployed around the South China Sea and on the Korean peninsula.

  3. Iranian shills be like: WhAt AbOuT UkRaInE? Just to stir shit up.

    US is not putting boots on the ground in Ukraine to be in direct engagement with Russia. On the other hand, the situation in Israel is very different, THAAD+Arrow+Iron Dome+(Iran and proxies capabilities) makes being in Israel and operating AD relatively safe, even if we are in direct engagement with Iran, because we already are.

    I do wonder if Israel is unable to operate THAAD or is it being proposed for US personnel life training?

  4. If it requires American troops to operate it then we shouldn’t be sending it. I’m sick and tired of fighting other countries wars.

  5. Sending troops gets us more directly involved. We shouldn’t be involved at all. This shouldn’t be happening. Israel needs to stop.
