The Israeli military says Iran has launched a number of drones toward Israel.
The army’s spokesman, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, said it would take several hours for the aircraft to arrive. He said Israel was prepared. He spoke Saturday evening.
Israel has been on heightened alert since an airstrike last week killed two Iranian generals in Syria. Iran accused Israel of being behind the attack and vowed revenge. Israel has not commented on that attack.
Commandos from Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard rappelled from a helicopter onto an Israeli-affiliated container ship near the Strait of Hormuz and seized the vessel Saturday in the latest attack between the two countries.
The seizure followed a suspected Israeli strike this month on an Iranian consular building in Syria that killed 12 people, including a senior Guard general.
Iran has promised to retaliate, and U.S. President Joe Biden cut short a weekend trip to his beach house in Delaware to return to the White House and monitor the situation. Israel’s war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip has inflamed decade-old tensions in the Middle East, and any new attack threatens to escalate that conflict into a wider regional war.

Another pillar of the Joe Biden failed presidency. His absolute foreign policy debacles. Let’s see, the Afghanistan withdrawal debacle, Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, Hamas invasion of Israel on October 6, and now this. No one, and I have said it for years now, no one fears Slo Joe.

0bama likely has ordered “Slo Joe’s” handelers to “JUST LET SLO JOE SLEEP” (as 0bama previously stated “Slo Joe would €FF UP A Wet Dream”): BH0.
At this time it would be appropriate to pray because Isreal and America’s Sage Patriots DO NOT BEND OVER AND KISS OUR SWEET @55’s GOODBYE.

This attack is straight out of Monty Python. They pre-announce it, and it takes six hours to get there and then all but a few missiles and drones are shot down. Unless you count the dollars it cost the west.
And out come the Trumpers: this would never have happened, etc.
Trump gets credit for offing Soleimani, but his love of the Russians, who are surviving on Iranian drones, his undermining of NATO, his green light to slaughter Kurds, his agreement on Afghanistan…whose side is he on?
We know he loves Putin, and yes, had he been president there’d be no war in Ukraine because without American support they would have surrendered.
Biden’s mixed messages on Israel likely emboldened Iran but why does anybody want the chaos of a leader who has no foreign policy other than what will personally benefit himself and his son in law?

How did Trump undermine NATO? He was only calling out most of the member nations that were not contributing the appropriate amount of their GDP to defense. Without the US NATO would not exist. Many of those European nations have been freeloading off of us for years. Some of us might have served in NATO, so we might know.

IM, why do you call me slumlord? iv’e gave away 3 houses in the past few years and i have another house that is way better than the one i live in that i have let people stay in , for free,for the last 12 years that i have owned it. i just recently gave that hpuse to one of my grand daughters that is starting college. so in your eyes, that makes me a slum lord. i think you are jealous of my sucess. i have worked real hard and have earned everything i got. i started out with nothing when i got out of the navy. in those days our pay was less than $200 a month. anyway, don’t be jealous of me. if i can help you sort out politics, just ask.

Rick, you crack me up and you think I’m envious of you. Another laugh. Look, you come here acting like you are EF Hutton. Remember the commercial? You have opinions like many others do here. You opinions are 180 degrees opposite mine. You won’t change them. Now to NATO. Historically the NATO nations have not contributed the appropriate amount of money to their defense as required by the NATO doctrine. Many of those nations that have dragged their feat for years are now suddenly interested in boosting their defense budgets since Putin invaded Ukraine. Trump was calling those countries out as he should have when he was President. Now we have the most incompetent boob since Jimmy Carter running the country and look at the world chaos out there. Like you, Biden had no credibility. No hostile countries fear or respect him.

IM, money is only a part of what nato is, i didn’t think you had the capacity to understand, and i was right. you need to read a few hundred more books and get more data before you start thinking on your own. right now you just repeat what shock jocks say. you are a maga cultist so why are you on this site which is not a maga madness site? i know the answer, you are a fear and grievance person so you crave chaos

Rick, airplanes, tanks, missiles, troops, weapons, etc cost money. Money makes NATO and many nations were not contributing the correct amount. Is that clear to you or do I need to get you a teleprompter and cue cards?
