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.
I wonder if Jordan was standing in support of Israel just so he could win a few votes from the democrats for the speaker position?
