In other words, the dog is sending more people to help its master.

Israel's dependence on the United States was stated bluntly by retired IOF Maj. General Yitzehak Brick in an interview: " All of our missiles, the ammunition, the precision-guided bombs, all the airplanes and bombs, it's all from U.S. The minute they turn off the tap, you can't keep fighting. You have no capability, ... Everyone understands that we can't fight this war without the United States. Period"----NOV 27, 2023

Yes deescalate with troops and weapons😢

[nightfoxpierre]

What this actually means is that the U.S. expects Israel's actions will provoke a response from possibly a third party. These additional troops are being sent for this purpose.

Troops are being sent so that no one can counter balance the situation, ensuring peace cannot be achieved.

War criminals 🇺🇸 should go to jail these criminals

[MebbWrbb]

The soldiers should refuse to go. Better to sit in prison than lie in a coffin because of psychopaths in government.
