Good point, as he was so against Ukraine spending but then came right out with a statement that we needed to pledge all our resources to Israel. It almost seemed scripted.
To be fair JJ's only asking for Iron Dome missiles that are purely defensive to take out incoming airborne threats.
If it's just supplying the missiles then that's a far cry from sending untold amounts of cash to be funneled to the deep state.
I wouldn't be opposed to genuine efforts to protect innocent civilians that are being used as cannon fodder for the propaganda machine. I just don't think our tax dollars should be footing the bill.
"The Iron Dome is primarily designed as a defensive missile system. The Iron Dome's main mission is to detect, track, and intercept incoming projectiles, including rockets and mortars, that pose a threat to Israeli territory. It does this through a combination of radar detection and missile interceptors. When a threat is detected, the system launches an interceptor missile to destroy the incoming projectile before it can reach its intended target. It is an effective means of protecting against these types of attacks."
I agree with you 100% regarding protecting innocent cannon fodder from the 800lb wrestling gorillas.
However, I will point out that just like pretty much everything white and blue, Iron Dome is a rather nuanced issue. I have seen convincing arguments and evidence that would indicate Iron Dome is nothing more than a super expensive psy-op.
But, as far as games go, if that's the one JJ has to play, it's not the end of the world.
Not to sound heartless, but why do we have to pay even more for Israel to defend it's civilians? We already give them billions each year. Where is that money?
I don't think we should at all. I'm just pointing out the distinction between Jim Jordan's position versus others and correcting the misrepresentation.
Oh I agree with you 100%. I just wanted to make the distinction between Jim Jordan supporting specific defensive measures versus other people's positions of just sending over untold amounts of cash.
If push comes to shove I'd rather stand behind Jim Jordan then the others that don't share his much more limited support.
“Iron dome” is fake news. A while back there was a reward for anyone who could produce a video of iron dome actually intercepting a missile, and that reward was never claimed. The videos we did see looked an awful lot like July 4th pyrotechnics.
I think the American people are exhausted with the Biden clan's ties to corrupt Ukraine. Biden doesn't want that war to end because he is getting a big piece of our taxpayer money with every billion we send them.
Israel support is different. Iran needs to be stopped and now. They are a true ally. Ukraine has always been corrupt and Biden perpetuates that corruption!
Iran has never been an enemy of Americans, or a threat to Americans.
Americans need to understand that the US is always the aggressor, that cries out in pain as it strikes you. Americans have dropped more bombs on innocent civilians than the rest of the world combined

Fixed it: "..the American people are exhausted."
