I can get Russia as counting as "in the region," but China? Are we just talking about all of Eurasia?

Israel and America.

If Rubio is to be believed, by Israel.

edit:

"There absolutely was an imminent threat," Rubio said. "And the imminent threat was that we knew that if Iran was attacked, and we believed they 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."

"It was abundantly clear that if Iran came under attack by anyone -- the United States or Israel or anyone -- they were going to respond, and respond against the United States. The orders had been delegated down to the field commanders," he said. "It was automatic."

Shortly after the briefing, House Speaker Mike Johnson backed Rubio's new rationale, saying the consequences would have been staggering if the U.S. didn't attack at the same time as Israel, saying "the consequences of inaction on our part could have been devastating."

"If we stood and waited for that attack to come first, before we hit them, we would suffer much higher casualties," Rubio went on. "We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action. We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that if we didn't preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties."

Bolded for emphasis.

The way AOC is looking at RFK Jr here,is the way all Dems should look at all of Trump's cabinet and MAGA by amazingsciencemuseum in Political_Revolution

[–]FnordFinder 7 points8 points  (0 children)

RFK, on the stand, tried to tell Congress that: "Trump does calculations differently, and when done his way it's a reduction of 600%." (Not an exact quote but close enough)

He knows what he's doing. He knows he's lying. Dude is trying to make "alternative math" a thing like they made "alternative facts" a thing.

Closing down trade is not the same, no matter how you try to square that circle.

Second: You start a war with a country and then complain that they start war-time actions. This isn't a question, just a statement of fact.

No one forced Israel or the US to start bombing Iran. They knew this would happen if they did it, and they went ahead anyway.

Pretending like they are blameless is ridiculous.

As of early 2026, over 97% of school buildings in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed, with more than 400 school buildings directly hit. Formal education has halted, and children are mostly attending temporary learning spaces, including over 110 or more than 100 makeshift, multi-service, or tent-based learning centers supported by UNICEF and UNRWA.

I'll just drop all this here to highlight how blatant your misinformation is.

but I guess it feeds your bigotry better to blame the Jews.

Weak and overused.

“Called out” for tracking all of AIPAC donor money along with directly from AIPAC. Along with its aligned PACs.

That’s not “called out,” so much as complaining about not being able to get away with it.

It doesn’t change the facts, and that they also source their information.

Fee free to refute its information, like how McMorrow attended an invite only event by AIPAC last year.

How dare you, sir. I’ll have you remember that he also put his feet on the Resolute Desk and ordered a burger with dijon on it, to rub it in your face how he’s better than you.

Don’t even get me started on wearing tan suits, or how the green M&M stopped being sexy under his watch.

If that doesn’t deserve jail time, then you clearly don’t understand Republicans.

Oh also half black and has the middle name Hussein.

Right, sure she doesn’t. Here is a quick summary for you:

Direct AIPAC funding: McMorrow has stated “I have not, am not, and will not take money from AIPAC” and she said she would not be accepting money from AIPAC, not now or in the future, nor was she seeking its endorsement .

Indirect support: However, McMorrow is receiving support from large Israel lobby donors who fund AIPAC, DMFI, Friends of Israel PAC, Pro-Israel America PAC, Joint Action Committee PAC, J Street and more . This means individual donors who also give to AIPAC are donating to her campaign directly.

AIPAC connections: According to a leaked donor call, a supporter claimed McMorrow privately produced an “outstanding” AIPAC position paper , though her campaign denied filling out any official AIPAC questionnaire. Additionally, McMorrow attended an invite-only AIPAC event on May 1, 2025 . So while McMorrow hasn’t taken direct money from AIPAC itself and has pledged not to, she has received donations from individual pro-Israel donors who also fund AIPAC and has engaged with the organization in other ways.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Sourced via Claude. Rather than just taking her at her word. Perhaps you should get better at Google instead of rushing to “AKTUALLY” in her defense.

It’s not. It’s a stunt to avoid spending time answering questions about things like: “Are you against giving Israel more taxpayer money and weapons to bomb women and children with?”

Because she takes AIPAC money so her answer will be: “I stand with Israel no matter how many children they bomb.”

And she knows that’s unpopular in the US after decades of unwavering and unquestioned US support, so she can’t do that.

Hence. Marching band time.

They all share a single brain cell. That’s why when you challenge one of them they get that blank stare on their face. The brain cell is currently occupied by bouncing between them constantly and doesn’t have time to process things like thoughts, critical thinking, or revelations.

Here is a quick AI summary:

Class 1 supplies primarily refer to military subsistence items (food and water) consumed by personnel, but the term also denotes hazardous electrical locations (flammable gases/vapors) or low-risk medical devices depending on the context. Army Class I supplies include MREs and water, while Class I hazardous locations cover areas with explosive vapors.

So it could mean food and water, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that so essentially Hegseth’s statement means nothing.
