US Deploys 100 Troops to Israel as Latter Prepares to Attack Iran
US Deploys 100 Troops to Israel as Latter Prepares to Attack Iran
The U.S. currently has some 40,000 soldiers stationed across the Middle East.
“U.S. troops being deployed to Israel in this matter is seismic,” Malekafzali added. “The U.S. military is now inextricably involved in this war, directly, without any illusions of barriers. Netanyahu is as close as he has ever been to his ultimate wish: making the U.S. fight Iran on Israel’s behalf.”
Israel’s cabinet met Thursday to discuss a potential response to Iran’s October 1 missile barrage. One unnamed Israeli source told The Times of Israel that “no big decisions” were made at the cabinet meeting. Speaking to reporters earlier this month, Biden said that U.S. and Israeli officials were “discussing” the possibility of an attack on Iranian oil infrastructure.
Iran has warned of a “crushing” response to any Israeli attack.
Gotta love that I go to work everyday so my government can take my money to fund a foreign genocide while my neighbors starve, struggle, and die. Fuck Israel and fuck my government.
43We have literal Nazis in america, but yeah, let's send all the troops over to the Middle East
44First off, as with every time domestic terrorism is discussed, US armed forces cannot carry out hostilities on domestic soil.
Second off, it's 100 personnel. Barely a blip on the total number of deployable personnel, and it's an air defense group without offensive capabilities.
Clickbait is clickbait.
12The US has troops on the ground aiding a genocidal regime. There is no loophole here, the US are scumbags.
14I disagree. If we sent 100 personnel with an air defense group to Ukraine, shit would get pretty real pretty fast. Sending people is a whole different commitment to sending weapons.
I had an old instructor who liked to say "when it comes to breakfast, what's the difference between the chicken and the pig? The chicken made a contribution, the pig made a commitment."
Sending our own troops stops being a contribution and starts being a commitment.

I agree that we shouldn't be sending troops to Israel right now but 100 troops is hardly "all the troops" and isn't a large change in the number of troops in the region.
Again, I don't think we should be sending troops or weapons to Israel right now, but this does seem like a proportional response to Iran's attack. They launched missiles at Israel. The US sent an anti-missile battery and 100 troops to support it. It seems like kind of a token force to say "we're supporting Israel in this, but we're also not going to go crazy".
6It is not proportional.
The Iranians ballistic missile launch was in retaliation for Israel assassinating a visiting diplomat in their capital and for Israel's terror attack against Lebanon.
Get out of here with this obvious propaganda that completely ignores the rogue nation of Israel's attempt to start a regional war to save the political career of someone trying their best to get trump elected.

I guess when these new troops going there are fired upon, US will have the “justifiable right” to attack Iran.
33Watch Israeli troops literally post up behind them, using them as human shields, to achieve this result.
15This was my gut feel. Like the "Trip Wire" forces NATO members deploy along the Russian border States.
