Following the opening salvo in Israel’s bombardment of Iran, many members of Congress rushed to declare their support for the Jewish state. Some went further, demanding the White House defend Tel Aviv from retaliation. A small number of lawmakers criticized Israel and urged Washington to stay out of the conflict.

The article offers a set of post from US politicians calling to support Israel and even a regime change. It also points out that a handful of lawmakers did oppose the Israeli strikes. Like Rep. Massie, who was the only member of Congress to point out that the attack Israel launched on Friday was an offensive war of aggression.

    I’ve been wondering what the endgame is. All out war against Islam (essentially Islamic states), maybe?

        Once the Christians and Jews kill all the Muslims then the Christians kill the Jews and Jesus returns to bring everyone up Heaven’s Chimney. Since that’s not real the Christians left living in the created hellscape will just move on to killing off sects labeled apostates and the meek inherit a poisoned, inhospitable Earth or whatever

        Sorry but USA isn’t being dragged into war… They have full knowledge and participation of what happens, so you must assume that is coming to a war for his own… It’s not a pour innocent baby that have no involving… The opposite it’s just being naive

          That’s okay; I forgive you.

          I am trying to think of a time the US went to war with a plan and achieved something, rather than realising it was a mistake they got baited into. That’s kind of what their military prowess is known to be; tactically challenged.
