Israel’s military sounded air raid sirens across the country ‘to prepare the public for the possibility of missiles being launched toward Israel’ in retaliation

Israel says it has launched a “preventative” strike on Iran and is preparing for retaliation.

On Friday, Donald Trump said he had not made a final decision on whether to launch US strikes on Iran – but added he was “not happy” with the situation, and that military force, including regime change, remained an option.

    They’re cowards and/or bought by Israel. The Democratic leadership conveniently delayed a vote against military action until next week. Speculation is that either they get so much AIPAC money they’ll do whatever Israel wants or they think this will be such a big shit show for Trump they want to just let it happen for political benefit.

    Also, realistically, Republicans are weak-willed morons. There will be a few days of uncomfortable confusion, but they’ll be cheerleading this by next week.

      After all, they never met a middle-eastern war they didn’t like.

      • Killing lots of brown people.

      • Unlimited money for their defense contractor buddies.

      • Get to cosplay as patriotic for supporting the war effort and supporting the troops. (Words only for the troops, of course. Still cutting veteran’s healthcare budget.)
