Your post didn’t make much sense, NATO is supplying aid to a European country trying to fight off a Russian invasion, an invasion that if successful will win Russia territory and population and wealth that will help it start the rebuild of its evil empire.

Contributing to a nation fighting off Russian European conquest is a normal thing for NATO to do.

US and Nato supplying arms to Israel, Saudi Arabia, Hamas, Ukraine is very telling.

Russia seeks weapons from North Korea and Iran, it needs them, and it is desperate for their help.

The United States helps Israel and Ukraine survive and remain independent and I don’t think Hamas is benefiting from the United States and Israel alliance right now.

Traitor to the woke, green, pervo globalist crusaders in DC and their hinterland neocon stooges. He is a traitor to only Uniparty, DC, as am I. If you would actually listen to him you will find you agree with him on everything but the gospel being spoke about the Uke quagmire by admin shills. Trans tyranny, the border, taxes, US elections, the coup, climate liars, the purge of the military, Covid, education in schools, homelessness, drugs, BLM, Antifa, 90% of pubbies in Senate, etc., etc., etc. Sounds like you’ve been sold a bill of goods and have been a traitor to conservatism and America First and MAGA, if you ever were part of those movements, only to be able march lock step with the Uniparty MIC oligarchs. It’s so easy for the left to use neocons’ innate warmongering tendencies to co-opt them into their globalist adventures.

I think only 3 carriers are on duty right now. 8 other carriers are either resting or undergoing maintenance from what I understand.

yahoo.com-——Biden’s recent meeting in Israel-— Report

Biden told Netanyahu he would offer support and he expected Israel to prioritize protection of civilians and humanitarian concerns.

Biden formally announced the already-arranged deal to allow humanitarian assistance to move into Gaza from Egypt, and $100 million in new aid for those in need among Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.......which was hammered w/ Israel in Washington BEFORE Biden left.

Biden also announced that later this week he would go to the Congress with a military support package for Israel of “unprecedented size.”

snip


Backstory: Since 1973, Israel has received more than $120 billion US tax
dollars in military assistance, including “three special aid” packages.
<><>billions for signing the Israel-Egypt peace treaty
<><>billions for Israel’s withdrawal from the Sinai.
<><>billions for redeployment of Israeli forces
<><>rebuilding Israeli air bases in the Negev cost $5 billion.

The concerned Israeli lobby made sure Congress is required by law to ensure that U.S. military aid in the Middle East region doesn’t damage Israel’s military superiority over its neighbors. That requirement enjoys broad bipartisan support and has served as a benchmark for ensuring Israel receives robust U.S. support.

Biden drafts $100 billion foreign aid package, including money for Israel and Ukraine
The hefty proposal, still in the works, is expected to benefit mostly Ukraine.
Details on the spending request were still being finalized ahead of an official request sent by the WH

The Biden administration is drafting a $100 billion foreign aid package that includes assistance for Israel as well as other top security priorities, according to two people familiar with the details.

Details on the spending request were still being finalized ahead of an official request sent by the White House to Congress this week.

One person told ABC News that the “bulk” of the assistance will likely go toward Ukraine, while others also said that it included $10 billion for Israel. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss details that hadn’t been announced yet by the White House.

The request comes as President Joe Biden travels to Israel in a show of unity with the Jewish state following the brutal Oct. 7 attack on civilians by Hamas terrorists from Gaza.

On Capitol Hill, Senate leaders suggested Tuesday that such a sweeping aid package would find support among lawmakers.

“We’d like to get the supplemental package moved as quickly as possible because the needs are great in both Israel and Ukraine,” said Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer of New York.

Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said he would support bundling aid for Ukraine and Israel and that he expects the administration to include money for border security, too.

On Bannon War Room this week Josh Phillips from the Epoch Times stated that a decade ago a top military official from China said the main lesson from WWII is that even a super power can not fight fully on 2 fronts.

Therefore the Chinese goal is to get the US into a war with Russia, a war in the Middle East, a war on terror at home, and then a war over Taiwan.

I think this is one of the most underreported stories lately.

No, it can’t.
In fact, with present leadership, it can’t even fight one war.

This is the clown who wants the US to lose to Russia right, which he says will conquer Kyiv in 24 hours (in February 2022)?

Is he a registered foreign agent? If not, why not?
