Terrorists attacks on US soil is just a matter of time, no way these involvements won’t have consequences

I like how he says "we maintain the right to defend ourselves" while in someone else's territory. I think if you were home you wouldn't have to worry about that lol

We’re doomed. Couldn’t get involved in Ukraine so we gotta stick our noses into this one.

Why are getting involved? This isn’t our problem. Our war hawk leaders need to find another way to make money

Wow you really need to hear yourselves...normalising genocide, dehumanizing Gazans and elaborating on your weapons and strategy.
