Hegseth orates like a teenager. [View all]

"Peace through strength." Whomever thought this little slogan up in order to justify the bombing is stupid. This will not get rumpy the Nobel Peace Prize, which is all he cares about.

I have mixed feelings about the bombings. But, I dislike all the lies and crap that they are now using to convince us of the righteousnes of their illegal war moves. We will watch what Israel does now. In the past, they have a tendancy to annihilate innocent civilians in an unrelenting manner. Gaza was revealing, and they can't undo that.

We were the backup that Israel needed to wage the type of war they want. We are in it. If they get into trouble, as they undoubtingly will continue the fight in some form, we are there to pick up the slack. This is where we stand now. We are at war now, waiting in the background as we watch how successful Israel is in doing the mop up.
