OMG... Trump is lying?

Who'd a' thunk it?

Of course, this is only happening because he killed the Iran agreement with 5 nations on nuclear development.

cnn us forces helping israel against iran intercept missiles

According to CNN, the United States military is helping Israel intercept Iranian missiles and drones. This assistance is being provided during ongoing attacks by Iran on Israel.

The US military has aided in similar missile and drone interceptions during previous Iranian attacks on Israel. This involves the utilization of both naval and air assets.

While the exact details of the current assistance were not immediately available, U.S. Air Force fighter aircraft and destroyer-based missile defenses have been used to intercept missiles in past attacks.

It is important to note that the U.S. was not directly involved in Israel's recent strikes on Iran and warned against any retaliation targeting US interests or personnel.

Israel attacked Iran because it KNOWS the US will spend hundreds of billions and thousands of US lives to defend it.

It's the Iraq war all over again. Just lie us into war.

It's interesting that Israel's Dome has quite a few holes in it; which is one reason that that a US Golden Orange Dome is a highly improbable idea.

"AI Overview

Size Comparison Map: Israel vs. California - IRIS

Israel is significantly smaller than the United States. To put it in perspective, Israel is about the size of New Jersey, and the entire United States could hold Israel over 400 times.

In fact, the area of Israel (8,355 sq miles) is smaller than the area of several U.S. states, including Delaware, Maryland, and Vermont."

It is significant that many countries along the flight path assisted in the takedowns of projectiles flung from Iran to Israel.

Donald Trump, the man who bragged about bringing peace, could not prevent a war and does not prevent our involvement in that war.

Time for MAGA to switch from being peaceniks to blood-thirsty hawks.

Let Israel Twist in the Wind.

They started an Aggressive War based on Lies and and distortions.

They Expect Americans to Die For Them. **ck that.

Iran was complying with the nuclear deal. Israel is the problem.

---- Them and all their allies in Congress. Schumer most of all.

Trump helped the Israelis by deceiving the Iranian government about the Negotiations.

Not Our Finest Hour.

MAGAts are whatever Trump tells them they are.

Trump committing rapes, insurrection, veteran-abuse, adultery, being a convicted felon 34 times over, sucking on Poohty's little Poohty, sabotaging NATO, raising taxes while tanking the economy, corruption like demanding and taking an airliner from Hamas's sponsors, etc.? None of that matters.

The only principle MAGAts have is unquestioning allegiance to their Dear Orange Leader.
