Trump's first promise to Israel President-elect Trump's associates have delivered an explicit promise that as soon as he enters the White House, he will remove all restrictions on the supply of military equipment and ammunition to Israel. https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/399219 US President-elect Donald Trump's associates have promised Israel that on his first day in office, immediately after the inauguration ceremony on Capitol Hill, he will lift any delays and any embargo on shipments of weapons and military equipment to Israel, Channel 12 News reported on Thursday evening. There is currently a de facto US embargo on one shipment and some equipment related to the war. Diplomatic sources claimed that there is a connection between Trump’s promise and the apparent Israeli agreement to a ceasefire in Lebanon. The sources stated that, if Israel agrees to a ceasefire for about two months, the Trump administration will enter the White House immediately afterwards and remove all obstacles in a way that will allow the IDF to fight more freely. On Wednesday, The Washington Post reported that Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, who is Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's confidant, told US President-elect Donald Trump and his son-in-law Jared Kushner this week that Israel is rushing to advance a ceasefire deal in Lebanon. According to the officials, the goal of the move is to deliver an early foreign policy win to the president-elect. _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."

I have no qualms whatsoever with weapons going to Israel if they need them, but I'm curious why they can't build their own bombs. They are a wealthy first world country with loads of really smart people. Surely they can supply themselves, no? ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

According to friend's who've been involved in treaty due diligence and diplomatic affairs, there a standing agreement (may also be written in various treaties) that Israel curtails its arms industry and relies on the US for a large amount of weaponry. From the US perspective, it prevents Israel from selling arms and munitions on the open market, particularly to states that the US would not sell to or, want in their hands. Should Israel be isolated from the West, it will ramp up its arms industry and sell to China if they deem it in their best interests. For Israel, they continue to have special status and access for major tech like F-35 and Iron Dome along with major intel sharing, while not getting a lot of obstruction or, interference. | |||

Makes sense. Both of you. I'd just like to think that should the shit hit the fan, they'd be able to start pumping out the necessary munitions. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

Oh, please. Israel is a country the size of Delaware, surrounded by people who want to wipe them off the face of the Earth. Try to imagine living like that. The state of Israel is the only true ally of the United States in the Middle East. Do you think you can get past your antisemitism and try to comprehend the significance of this? I don't "worship" Israel. I value it for its strategic partnership with my country. If you can't figure it out, that's your problem. ____________________________________________________ "I am your retribution." - Donald Trump, speech at CPAC, March 4, 2023 | |||

The performative republican outrage over Ukraine spending will bite our ass now that they are salivating over giving different foreigners everything they can. | |||

You can bite your own ass. Ukraine is an Eastern European border conflict which has no bearing on the security of the United States, despite all the yammering of Ukraine supporters who claim Putin will have tanks rolling into Poland. Israel is being attacked by Iran, an enemy of the United States, both directly, and indirectly via its proxies. Unlike Ukraine and its hyper-corrupt regime which has siphoned off billions upon billions of US taxpayer dollars to no positive effect, the aid provided by the United States to Israel is an investment in a strong strategic ally, in a region which may before too long blow up into a dangerous conflict. As the saying goes, I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you. ____________________________________________________ "I am your retribution." - Donald Trump, speech at CPAC, March 4, 2023 | |||

Israel can fight its own wars, just like Ukraine. North Carolina should be totally rebuilt before we hand out money to foreigners. Especially a country that never committed troops to the gwot. | |||

Oh, so now it's not Ukraine/Israel and performative outrage; it's North Carolina/Israel and neglect within our borders. | |||

Voshterkoff, the United States has engaged in non-stop foreign aid for more than a century. Don't behave as if you don't know this. | |||

By all means, give all of our money away then. We only gave them $8.7 billion in September. Make it $20 billion in January. Increase debt, crash the dollar, worship foreigners. Trump will be the last republican president. | |||

Wow, a depressing thought. Do you think this shit 24/7 and don't see a brighter tomorrow after November 5? Dark world you're living in my friend. | |||

Can you stop with this "worship" nonsense? You lose credibility with crap like that. Q | |||

I'm not giving them anything, and I have little tolerance for obtuse behavior. I'll say it again for you, even though it shouldn't be necessary: the United States has engaged in non-stop foreign aid for more than a century. Behaving as if a devastating hurricane in North Carolina and Tennessee would alter this is silly. Presenting your argument in this manner means you aren't being serious; you're just saying things you know will never come to pass, in an effort to be right. Ridiculous crap like this is a perfect example. You let me know when you intend to behave in a manner which demonstrates you're serious. Saying things like Trump is the last Republican President, and telling me that you actually and truly expect that the United States is going to cease all foreign aid- you're just playing games and you are wasting my time. | |||

Confirmed: Iranian Nuclear Facility Destroyed U.S. and Israeli officials have confirmed Friday that Israel’s attack on Iran in October destroyed an active top-secret nuclear weapons research facility, damaging Iran’s nuclear weapons research program, putting pressure on Iran and Hezbollah. Friday’s news coincided with a series of Israeli airstrikes in Beirut that destroyed at least one high-rise building in a Hezbollah-controlled area. You can see the building collapse here. Lebanon’s prime minister has asked Iran to help broker a cease-fire in the ongoing Israel-Hezbollah war, as Israel has intensified its attacks on Hezbollah since September. According to Lebanese media, U.S. Ambassador Lisa Johnson presented a cease-fire proposal to Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, who has been representing Hezbollah in the negotiations. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news...wK?ocid=BingNewsSerp https://nypost.com/2024/11/15/...ar-lebanese-capital/ https://apnews.com/article/isr...da4511852a34f54fbc17 _________________________ | |||
