The US is moving quickly to boost Israel's military. A look at what assistance it's providing
Within hours of the horrific attack by Hamas, the U.S. began moving warships and aircraft to the region to be ready to provide Israel with whatever it needs to respond.
United States is rapidly increasing support to Israel. This assistance includes the deployment of warships and aircraft to the region, with a second carrier strike group dispatched from Virginia.
Special operations forces are aiding Israel in planning and intelligence, with the initial shipment of munitions already delivered.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is set to meet with Israeli leaders to discuss further aid. The U.S. is primarily focused on deterring potential regional conflicts, with a particular emphasis on Hezbollah and Iran.
The U.S. is also sending Navy ships, including aircraft carriers, which provide various capabilities, and has ordered additional warplanes for Middle East bases.
When was the last time USA sent that much support during which Israel was bombing Gaza, anyone? anyone?
I don't know about you, but I'm now starting to consider something is being cooked.
When was the last time the US had issues with supporting an entity that violates human rights and commits war crimes.
Plenty of examples of the US arming those up. Only to later start a war against them.
The following is all speculation and beyond what little they officially say all we can do is to speculate at this point, but the first hint is how the Hamas terrorist attack surprised every intelligence agency out there.
Egypt only vaguely warned of “something big going to happen”. The Mossad also surely has Palestinian informants in Gaza and yet didn’t manage to get any intel about the attack. That’s not normal at all, and no I don’t think Iran is all that powerful to be able to help Hamas not only coordinate the attack but to also do the preparations in a way that went unnoticed by intelligence agencies for a long time.
My money for now is on Russia being directly involved to open a new front against the West and distract from Ukraine, otherwise the orders by the UK and the US to send warships there make no sense, the US just sent its second carrier today.
Because if there's anything these genocidal assholes need it's more weapons.
How about a swift kick in the ass instead? A hearty "lol get fucked" perhaps? Or maybe just a simple reminder that this is, in fact, a hell of their own making.
Every bomb they drop was manufactured and sold for profit.
God forbid the shareholders aren't happy.
Unfortunately, 100% of one US party and 66% of the other have bound themselves up in uncritical support for Israel.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Within hours of the horrific attack by Hamas, the U.S. began moving warships and aircraft to the region to be ready to provide Israel with whatever it needed to respond.
“We’re surging additional military assistance, including ammunition and interceptors to replenish Iron Dome,” President Joe Biden said Tuesday.
One of the most visible examples of the U.S. response was the announcement just hours after the attacks that the Pentagon would redirect the Gerald R. Ford carrier strike group to sail toward Israel.
The planes provide early warnings on missile launches, conduct surveillance and manage the airspace, not only detecting enemy aircraft but also directing U.S. movements.
And the carriers can flex to provide significant capabilities for humanitarian work, including onboard hospitals with ICUs, emergency rooms, medics, surgeons and doctors.
Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall said Tuesday at an Atlantic Council event that the service was directing units that were about to come home to remain in place along with their replacements.
