    Dear strongest country in the world: what happen? You look super weak to fold under the demand of a country that’s smaller than Hawaii.

      I don’t think he needed to plan it. This is just convenient. He knew one way or another he would get his way. Hell he’d do it without Biden’s approval if needed, wouldn’t be the first time they gave the US the middle finger. They know going directly against Israel is political suicide in the US.

      No one has stopped him before now, he had no reason to need to plan anything because he continues to get what he wants from America regardless.

    Well, they apparently just struck Iran (and apparently also Iraq/Syria) so maybe the Rafah invasion is off. Probably not but it’d be nice if this deal is real and they just got what Bibi picked wrong.

    I knew the israeli butchers were going to go into Rafah no matter what, but it makes me extra sick that they’re dressing it up by pretending it’s balanced out by not attacking Iran (after attacking their embassy in the first place).

      I don’t think the Israelis consider them to be separate matters.

      Avoiding the hot war with Iran in exchange for something Israel was going to do anyway, was the US’s position. I guess we will see how many lives it would have saved since Israel is bombing irsn.

      I say hundreds of thousands.

    Can’t wait for the Biden apologists to give their hot takes on this one.

    Israel doesn’t exist without American military support, period.

    Redeploy the carrier groups, and Israel’s entire strategy goes up in smoke, as they are reliant on Aegis to protect their airspace.

      Not Biden:

      Republican senator Tom Cotton said Americans should “take matters into their own hands” when dealing with pro-Palestinian protesters, encouraging vigilantism.

    The US intercepted just about all the missiles. Israel owes the US for that, they shouldn’t get to make demands.

        Biden got played for a fool

        Why are y’all acting like the President of the United States is a fool, and that he couldn’t stop this if he wanted to?

        Biden has gotten played for a fool for months. If you have no red lines and the party you’re negotiating realizes that, they’ve got you by the balls and they’re going to do whatever the hell they want until the day of final judgement.
