when inter-moose warfare gets to the point of slinging around nukes, the side effects will be enough to give pause.
The “hands off Israel” policy of Rand Paul might come in handy as the EU is getting ready to work with the PA and the UN to force a “peace” agreement on Israel.
The US should oppose the EU and UN sticking their big fat anti-Jew noses into the mess, too.
But, let’s face it. Israel is surrounded by enemies like never before after Obambam’s global community organizing “change.” Bam has set the stage now and it’s going to play out. : (
