They already signed that contract. This is just Israel attacking them anyway.

This explains it in better detail than I could. It isn’t so much a single law, but rather a lot of different laws that all work together to ensure that Israel is given everything it could possibly need for its own defense…even bypassing normal regulatory measures in the process, as long as certain conditions are maintained.

Israel has invested tens of millions of dollars lobbying for, and helping to write, the legislation that guarantees their continuous access to weapons. A lot of it is written directly into defense spending bills that are essential for domestic defense spending as well. So, without a massive shift in policy at the legislative level to disentangle those priorities, that support is legally binding.

Yeah, well…I certainly didn’t detect any indication that he was planning on changing his direction, just because some farmers and service industry folks were upset about having their employees snatched off the job.

When people started acting like he was softening his approach, I went back and read it again, and still couldn’t understand why they thought that. It really sounded to me like he was saying, “too bad for you…things have to change”, not “I didn’t realize this would hurt you…I need to change”.

When I read the, “things are going to change” line…I assumed he was saying that his current policy of kidnapping workers was the change in question.

He kind of rolled it into the statement he was making about ending “Biden’s open borders policy”, so it kind of felt like he was saying, no more letting immigrants have any options for sanctuary within the system. That’s what’s going to change, from now on. No?

C’mon guys…everyone knows he prefers, “God Emperor”.

So, just go into it with violence in mind, then? What advice is this really giving? Shoot first, because they’re just going to lie about it anyway?

Fuck that.

Defend yourself if you have to, but telling people to use violence, just makes what they say about protesters, true. Don’t validate them.

Is this real?

That IS technically what the 2nd amendment is for. “A well regulated militia…etc”.

Israel has already attacked Iran.

The US is obligated by law, to keep sending them weapons in order to maintain a “qualitative military edge” against all potential threats. This unfortunately incentivizes Israel to maintain a high threat level, in order to increase the amount of weapons it receives.

So…just let him keep breaking the law until it reaches the Supreme Court? I thought they were supposed to pause his actions, pending appeal…not let him keep going.

They may not be able to prosecute him, but they can make him stop what he’s doing. Theoretically.

The US is doomed.

Wow. That’s sad. I feel bad for Germany.

Would that sentiment still hold if it was Germany that was attacked?

More like, to test whether the US will follow article 5.

Well, that’s awfully vague.

When will Dems learn? they can’t win without the progressive vote

Fuck that! There’s way more MAGA voters than progressives. You gotta go where the numbers are. /s

“Procedural error”? As in, they accidentally allowed a progressive to win?

Priceless, if true.
