US Asks Israel to Delay Ground Invasion... Because We're Not Prepared to Defend Our Foreign Bases from Terrorists

Our "military" has been focusing on more serious matter, like pride flags and drag queens visiting the bases.

This is pathetic. Absolutely pathetic. However, I am not sure that the Biden Administration isn't just pressuring Israel to delay for other reasons as well, given their neverending expressions of concern for Gaza.

[Quoting the WSJ:]
Israel has agreed, for now, to a request from the U.S. to get its air defenses in place to protect U.S. troops in the region ahead of an expected ground invasion of Gaza, U.S. and Israeli officials said.
The Pentagon is scrambling to deploy nearly a dozen air-defense systems to the region, including for U.S. troops serving in Iraq, Syria, Kuwait, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, to protect them from missiles and rockets. U.S. officials have so far persuaded the Israelis to hold off until those pieces can be placed, as early as later this week.

Did we have to borrow them from Ukraine?

This could be a lie -- this could just be Biden making up excuses why Israel can't attack now.

David Strom also quotes Axios, reporting that Biden is doing exactly what everyone suspected he was doing:

President Biden is taking a dual-track approach to the Gaza crisis -- standing staunchly beside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in public while trying to hold him back in private.

Biden's approval rating hits a new low in the Gallup poll. He's been at 37% in other polls, but this is the first time he's dropped so low in the Gallup poll.

He's losing support from... Democrats.

President Joe Biden's job approval rating among Democrats has tumbled 11 percentage points in the past month to 75%, the worst reading of his presidency from his own party. This drop has pushed his overall approval rating down four points to 37%, matching his personal low.
Advertisement
At the same time, Biden's approval among independents has declined four points, to 35%, while Republicans' rating remains unchanged, at just 5%. ...

Gallup says Democrats are defecting over anger about Biden expressing support for Israel. That support is insincere and hollow, as the Biden Administration itself leaks to Axios that he's expressing support publicly while restraining Israel privately -- they want to get the word out to their zombies that he does not really support Israel -- but that's still too much support for them.

Something that probably shocks most non-military people is soldiers on base are MORE disarmed than the general US population, by far. Even if you have a concealed carry license for the state, the base likely requires special permission from the Provost Marshal for you to carry on base, and you're not getting permission.

Yes, they have MPs and if given enough time, they can roll out troops, but if a Hamas style attack were to happen on a US base, the massacre would be just as bad.

Posted by: bonhomme at October 26, 2023 05:43 PM (0N1h0)

61 Hamas has won. They still hold 200+ hostages. They will hold those hostages for years. They held Galid Shalit(?) for how many years?

The old women will die in Gaza. The you g children will be beaten and abused until they "revert" to Islam. I don't even want to think what the women are enduring.

Worse? Hezbollah and Fatah will attempt these same mass raids in to Israel to kill and kidnap.

74 A big part of why I am not so worked up over the Hamas/Israel conflict is that Israel seems as feckless and degenerate as the U.S. at this point. Hamas deserves to lose, but Israel seems determined not to win. It's tiresome to be worked up over people and institutions that have decided to throw in the towel, kind of like when I read about terrible things happening in blue cities. I don't celebrate. But I find it exhausting to care more about other people's welfare than they do.

That is because officers are now considered managers more than fighting warriors. Managers act to minimize risk; warriors realize that warfare itself is risky. Warrior mindset is never the same as a bureaucratic one and a bureaucratic one is necessary to rise via promotions during peacetime.

Old story (min '70s?):

They bought our new jets and both American and Israeli pilots were having trouble seeing what was behind them. Within two months the Israelis had fitted the planes with small Chevy pickup truck rear view mirrors. Two years later the US fitted their planes with custom designed mirrors.

When he speaks, he often says "They told me not to say that...or I wasn't supposed to say that, etc." because it is all scripted with Biden as the highly compromised, venal dunce trying to spit out the words.

True, but I will note two things. First, the Private Pyle scene in Full Metal Jacket has way more influence on this policy than most people would like to believe. Second, the senior officers on base all exempt themselves from this policy.

111 "Gallup says Democrats are defecting over anger about Biden expressing support for Israel. That support is insincere and hollow, as the Biden Administration itself leaks to Axios that he's expressing support publicly while restraining Israel privately -- they want to get the word out to their zombies that he does not really support Israel -- but that's still too much support for them."

So, business as usual for Joe and the Junta. Con the rubes (supporters of Israel and of basic human freedoms) with Stronk Words about supporting Israel and condemning ONLY what Hamas did in Israeli territory two weeks ago (did the Junta say anything about Hamas and Hizbolla rocket attacks before or since October 7th?). While hobbling Israel behind the scenes.

ALWAYS watch for what Joe and his gang of fellow idiots DO, instead of believing what they SAY.

If I find the information it's a slam dunk as to who she is and her relationship to me. The information is there to LE and perhaps others with a check book a lot fatter then mine.

I suspect Israel has the same ability to triangulate the location of a cell phone moving from Gaza back into Israel and once the phone is turned on again make things go boom. So, I'm not on the 'do it now' bandwagon. People of tech, you should not f with. Take 'em out, one by one, day after day after day 'til they're all gone. Then go in.

120 A big part of why I am not so worked up over the Hamas/Israel conflict is that Israel seems as feckless and degenerate as the U.S. at this point. Hamas deserves to lose, but Israel seems determined not to win. It's tiresome to be worked up over people and institutions that have decided to throw in the towel, kind of like when I read about terrible things happening in blue cities. I don't celebrate. But I find it exhausting to care more about other people's welfare than they do.

The real problem is that even when we get our top of the line stuff out there we will likely find that they just aren't effective on drones. They were made for ballistic missles and haven't really been worked on for decades. The Russians really needed to work on air defense in case they got in a war with the west, so they did. We half assed it.

And another problem is that we likely don't have any capacity for a sustained war in refreshing and restocking. Before this war, they were saying getting stocks up would take years.

165 Something that probably shocks most non-military people is soldiers on base are MORE disarmed than the general US population, by far. Even if you have a concealed carry license for the state, the base likely requires special permission from the Provost Marshal for you to carry on base, and you're not getting permission.

Yes, they have MPs and if given enough time, they can roll out troops, but if a Hamas style attack were to happen on a US base, the massacre would be just as bad.

181 165 Something that probably shocks most non-military people is soldiers on base are MORE disarmed than the general US population, by far. Even if you have a concealed carry license for the state, the base likely requires special permission from the Provost Marshal for you to carry on base, and you're not getting permission.

Yes, they have MPs and if given enough time, they can roll out troops, but if a Hamas style attack were to happen on a US base, the massacre would be just as bad.

187 A big part of why I am not so worked up over the Hamas/Israel conflict is that Israel seems as feckless and degenerate as the U.S. at this point. Hamas deserves to lose, but Israel seems determined not to win. It's tiresome to be worked up over people and institutions that have decided to throw in the towel, kind of like when I read about terrible things happening in blue cities. I don't celebrate. But I find it exhausting to care more about other people's welfare than they do.

about 25% Republicans
about 7% of Democrats
