Since when do we believe anything Dershowitz says?
But Alan will still be voting for democrats, right?
That’s the only thing that would make him leave? He’ll put up with everything else but that?
The ball is in Iran’s court. I doubt they would do anything derecetly. The Church in Iran is growing by leeps and bounds. The Mullahs are disliked, and sitting on a powder keg.
“Ukraine isn’t our close ally.”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Well, you didn’t know that America has signed with Ukraine (in 2008) a spectacular and far-reaching friendship-and-partnership deal which makes Ukraine one of our absolute closest allies. The treaty was signed AGAIN in 2021.
United States-Ukraine Charter on Strategic Partnership
Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs
Washington, DC
December 19, 2008
Preamble
The United States of America and Ukraine:
Section I: Principles of Cooperation
This Charter is based on core principles and beliefs shared by both sides:
And also:
Support for each other’s sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity and inviolability of borders constitutes the foundation of our bilateral relations.
Affirm the importance of our relationship as friends and strategic partners. We intend to deepen our partnership to the benefit of both nations and expand our cooperation across a broad spectrum of mutual priorities.
Emphasize that this cooperation between our two democracies is based on shared values and interests. These include expanding democracy and economic freedom, protecting security and territorial integrity, strengthening the rule of law, and supporting innovation and technological advances.
Stress our mutual desire to strengthen our relationship across the economic, political, diplomatic, cultural, and security fields.
Confirm the importance of the security assurances described in the Trilateral Statement by the Presidents of the U.S., Russian Federation and Ukraine of January 14, 1994, and the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances in connection with Ukraine’s accession to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons of December 5, 1994.

I think you forgot the "sarcasm" tag. This is Clown World rhetoric. The average "conservative" today talks like a dimwitted punk kid. It would almost be funny if it weren't so tragic and shameful.
The ill-conceived Globalist American Empire is collapsing, and it's a good thing that it is. Real conservatives should be celebrating this reality.
It’s not a Treaty you spamming frog. You are not “our”.
You are a scumbag foreigner.
If. What are you waiting for fool. Shoulda left when MuMu ran against Trump.
Could be Biden's twisted bias was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
How is the weather in Moscow? Still in your FSB Deep State Ivory Tower?
You Russian Kremlinists are so easy to trigger. :)
If Israel wants to buy weapons from us fine, they’re an ally. But we’re broke and can’t afford to give stuff away.”
Besides, Ukraine was first in line for all the free stuff.
“
“I am starting to lean towards not supporting the crazy, stupid America-wrecking party.”
Oooh, thus spake the inter-lectual.
Russian Kremlinists?
ESL surrender monkey.
The one I’m watching is Josh Shapiro, Governor of Pennsylvania. He wears his religion and love for Israel on his sleeve. I think that’s why Fetterman has suddenly decided he loves Israel; because Shapiro is the most powerful politician in the State. I haven’t heard much of anything from Shapiro with respect to the Israeli-Hamas War. Or, for that matter, about President Biden. He can’t be happy with Biden throwing in with Hamas.
If Shapiro decides Israel is better off with Trump as President than with Biden, that could be enough for him to sit on the sidelines in November. That could be decisive.
No, he dispises Netenyahu.
I think Dersh already left the RAT party; he just doesn’t know it yet.
He hates Trump as well.
Netanyahu is the best leader Israel has ever had.
He is the only one having the sincere will to end Islamic Hamas once and for all in the area.
Hamas is finished if Israel attacks Rafah.
Which US military aid tranchre to Israel is Dersh talking about?
There’s Biden’s 2023 Oct 7-related arms handout to Israel:
<><>57,000 155mm artillery shells
<><>more than 5,000 Mk82 unguided or “dumb” bombs,
<><>more than 5,400 Mk84 2,000 pound warhead bombs,
<><>around 1,000 GBU-39 small diameter bombs,
<><>approximately 3,000 JDAMs, which turn unguided bombs into guided “smart” bombs,
<><>BLU-109 bunker busters w/ 2,000 pound warheads designed to penetrate concrete shelters.
There’s Obama’s $38 billion deal that covers fiscal years 2019-2028 that includes:
<><>-annual US payments to Israel of $3.3 billion in “military financing,”
<><>-$500 million a year for Israel’s missile defense operations in the Negev, a foreign aid first,
<><>-A phasing-out of Israel’s decades-long “special arrangement”
<><>ie. Israel used 26.3% of US aid on its own global defense industry (not on US-made weapons).
<><>-Eliminates Israel using some 13% of US aid to buy military fuel.
<><>-will allow Israel to update “the lion’s share” of its fighter aircraft,
<><>includes purchasing additional F-35 Joint Strike Fighters.
<><>Israel is to initially receive thirty-three F-35 aircraft,
<><>the first two F-35’s will be delivered in December.
The (a) weaponry build-up from Obama 2018 into 2028, (b) follows the $30 billion weaponry deal Israel signed in 2007, which expires at the end of fiscal 2018, and (c) a systematic buildup of Israeli arms, like this one in 2015.
