Secretary of State Marco Rubio admitted that the U.S. was forced into the war with Iran by Israel while speaking with reporters on Monday. He explained that the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had effectively boxed in the Trump administration, taking the decision out of American hands.
“We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action,” Rubio explained. “We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that if we didn’t pre-emptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties.”
Rubio’s disclosure highlights the Trump administration’s unwillingness to rein in the actions of Israel, even when that country’s policies resulted in U.S. attacks that only a tiny minority of the American public supports.
Fighting Israel’s war
But they (USA) can’t help Ukraine, a democracy that has been absolutely non hostile, gave up their nukes on a promise of help if invaded, and was attacked by Russia that is clearly an enemy to USA, the west and democracy. And now USA won’t help Ukraine anyway?!
But they can help Israel against a country that was willing to negotiate?!
USA is a despicable country, that has abandoned all values and their peaceful allies. To support a regime that has been extremely hostile towards their neighbors for more than half a century, and is committing genocide in Gaza. That’s the one USA chooses to help!
I wonder how many times Israel has said thank you?
Ukraine does not have pictures of US government fucking children
Yes that is the problem, Trump is 100% transactional, he stands for nothing but what benefits him. He has absolutely zero morals.
Epstein said that trump is the worst person he has ever known. Let that sink in.
The war in Ukraine was happening while Biden was in office too.
Under Biden there was at least help, but Biden was an idiot that restricted the ability for Ukraine to defend themselves, by not supplying long range weapons, and not attacking targets in Russia was a requirement for the help. Biden was a scared coward, that failed to do what we know is the only thing that works against Russia, and that is a show of strength. It’s the ONLY thing that ever worked against Russia.
Yes, it was. What is your point?
Lil’ Marco, you will never be president you lil’ bitch
I just don’t understand what Israel has on the US et al. Like how is this tiny dependent state “forcing” the United States into anything?
They don’t have anything on the U.S. Netenyahu and Trump both know that without an extreme intervention, both of their futures are headed towards either a military tribunal or cyanide in a bunker.
It’s narcissistic authoritarian elitists with more loyalty and faith to each other than any country or religion they pretend to give a shit about. They’re desperate to avoid accountability at all costs and figure they might as well go out with a bang Thelma and Louise style. And we all get to go over the cliff with them because “democracy and freedom are incompatible.” 🙃
Location, location, location
The US needs Israel as a proxy to keep the oil and intelligence flowing.
Ah, 2026.
I do not really want to pay attention to the news, given there is little i can do to change things, but everything keeps getting more expensive (Ex: gas, food).
So, you look up why, go down a rabbit hole of news and feel somewhere between exhausted and helpless.
One of my closest friends died during the Iraq War, I was much younger then, 17+ years ago now. It hurts though, an it hurts knowing other people are going to have to carry that weight as well, for those needlessly slaughtered, sacrificed, globally.
There are no survivor benefits and free counseling for friends.
Netenyahu and Trump are legitimately going scorched earth here.
And don’t forget America’s bff (as long as you ignore 9/11), but that’s water under the bridge right
