re: If you believe Israel is sovereign and Jews the right to their own state you’re a Zionist

What percentage of your tax dollars went to Israel last year? Take personal tax revenues collected. Divide the amount of aid to Israel for the year by the total personal tax revenues collected. Multiple that number by your total federal tax obligation. Report back. (You won’t.)
I don’t need to. Direct money sent there is dwarfed by the money we spend defending gulf allies not named Israel against the perceived threat of other gulf allies and the perceived threat from Israel.
Hard to justify that seeing that we’re flat broke.

Help you on Iran. We’re your Sugar Daddy on Ukraine. Have another 100 Billion. Buy that new castle.

Y’all never address the likely outcomes. If we make zero more progress against Iran we could reduce our military presence in the region to a sustainable strike force and simply tell Iran, “Open the Strait or we will obliterate your oil export terminals”. But your “astute young political commentator” does not believe we have escalation dominance? He does not sound astute to me.
And the likely outcome you won’t address is - without US cover, Iran destroys all oil export terminals of our allies in the region. They still have plenty of hidden missiles.

Bingo. A tiny country on the other side of the planet with 7.5 million Jewish people is dragging the world's greatest superpower, also with 7.5 million Jewish people and another 330 million non-Jewish people, around by the nose.

Still, not on behalf of Israel. Israel is its own entity. Yes, they are our "ally", and our actions will benefit them, but this is not doing something at their behest. If Iran hadn't attacked the US perhaps 1,000 times (literally) in the past, we wouldn't have done this preemptively.
Lord, I hope you aren't trying to suggest that if Netanyahu had told Trump "we will not be going to war with Iran" that the US would have attacked Iran anyway. You really can't believe that.

Trumps Sec State:
"the imminent threat was that we knew that if Iran was attacked, and we believed Iran would be attacked, that they would immediately come after us, and we were not going to sit, sit there and absorb a blow before we respond."
believed Iran would be attacked - this translates to "we knew Israel planned to attack Iran, because Netanyahu told us as much"
that they would immediately come after us, and we were not going to sit, sit there and absorb a blow - this translates to "we would not be a part of this unless forced into it by Greatest Ally"
Not sure how anyone couldn't see this.

Watch the documentary I posted just above. JFK was essentially assassinated, because he wouldn’t do want Israel wanted.
Read about how Eisenhower warned JFK if he didn’t do the bidding of Israel and the military industrial complex that there would be dire consequences.
Some of you put your head in the sand and refuse to see how much Israel controls every aspect of our government.
Amazing considering that there are only about 15 million Jewish people on the planet in 1940, and only 16 million now.

Have you considered that he was asking American taxpayers to put Israel's interest over their own interests then, and he's also doing that now?
I will concede that he's consistent, but this - asking American taxpayers to put Israel's interest over their own interests - wasn't MAGA then, and isn't now.

re: Saudi Prince reveals Obama gave Iran $150 billion, they made missiles, financed Terrorists

Serious question: which of these is true?
Obama’s IRS collected tax money from US taxpayers and shipped it to and gave it to Iran
Iran citizens worked and earned money, and some of that money was invested and held in the US. Obama or one of his predecessors froze those assets, and eventually Obama unfroze those assets and sent them back to Iran
Iran is one of the schitt hole countries Trump referred to, but the two situations above are not the same.
