Sounds like a perimeter is being set around a vehicle.

How do you suggest undoing those 75 years of bad blood?

Israel has pretty good reason to believe the West Bank would turn into a Super Gaza, which would lead to another open air prison once Israel and Jordan close their borders, which is exactly what happened in Gaza.

75 of years of things in Europe for Jews being relatively okay, doesn't erase 1,000 years of slaughter in a group's collective conciseness. I wouldn't say they embraced it.

Ike Strike Group is moving to 5th Fleet in the Gulf, will not be joining up the Ford. Army is deploying a THAAD battery and Patriot battalions to the CENTCOM region.

Austin III released a statement regarding recent escalations by Iran and its proxy forces across the Middle East region.

Just watch it, was excellent. Go glad I'm out of that county.

Been there done that in Iraq and Afghanistan. You'd need 60k troops to baby sit just Gaza for at least a decade plus a ton of development money, in a situation where a bored Corporal can upend the entire effort by shooting a kid. Japan and Germany worked because they were two countries beat down by fire bombing, 2 nukes, and a realization that the Red Army occupying the place instead would be worse.

You'd first have to convince, even Israeli liberals at this point, that doing so wouldn't just result in the West Bank becoming Super Gaza (Hamas take over followed by Israel and Jordan sealing their borders creating another open air prison).

First on CNN: US Navy warship near Yemen intercepts multiple missiles, US officials say | CNN Politics WWW.CNN.COM A US Navy warship operating in the Middle East intercepted multiple projectiles near the coast of Yemen, two US officials told CNN.

A snap election mechanism in the Constitution was a real oversight, among other things.

There is NO balance of power between the branches either, the Governor is the constitutionally weakest in the country and the Courts aren't interested / are ignored.

North Carolina purposed maps are out, blood bath. Current map is 7 - 7 Purposed: General Assembly (RIP my State Senator's district, straight up deleted) And of course

Have we seen other rockets falling short creating a blast that big though? Seems like it be a regular thing given the fail rate.

Size of the blast is the bigger issue with the IDF's story.

An IDF spokesman told CNN this weekend: "I'm sure there were innocent Germans too."

They were in Kuwait last week. This could also be viewed as getting those ships out of 5th Fleet in case Iran wants to take a shot at a capital ship in the Gulf. Marine Corps Expeditionary Unit En Route to Waters Off Israel, Defense Official Says WWW.MILITARY.COM The 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, or MEU, is capable of conducting amphibious operations and crisis response, among other missions.

US Navy Bataan Amphibious Ready Group with embarked 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit is moving from the Gulf to the link up with the Ford and Ike Strike Groups.

So Israel isn't going to go in until Thursday?

I'm very surprised the Gulf isn't being beefed up.

Given the scale of the attack, and how long it took the IDF to respond, how much warning would the IDF have needed to prevent the attack?

CNN is reporting that the IDF is cratering runways in Syria.

Vote was 113-99 lol.

Second Carrier Strike Group deploying in 2 days from Norfolk.

More the humiliation of getting kicked off their land and the resulting disasters being baked into what it means to be a Palestinian. Not that unlike how tragedy is baked into the Jewish identity. First Palestinian I ever met introduced herself by saying she was from Palestine and if I knew where that was.

They left their land in 1948 and generations later are still in those same refugee camps, it's a core part of their identity. I know a Palestinian (Israeli Arab) who's not far from the Lebanon border and asked if they were going to evacuate: "We are not leaving our land".
