In assessing the danger of an attack on the Gaza port, you should always figure on capability. Don't assume intent

#2 Biden is doing this solely to win 100,000 Muslim votes in Michigan, and the troops are purely political pawns in this wretched game. This is despicable.

"Despicable" yes. Out of character for the authors of this plan? No, not in the least.

#3 I'm telling you again: it's two fer one - when (no ifs) your troops are killed it'll be presented as Israel's fault.

#4 /\

Gift horse staring you in the face? What better way to be rid of these savages and at no cost to Israel.

Biden voters by the boat load. Gaza to Central America or Mexico. Mexico to Texas and Arizona.

Bonus: Free, floating harbor left behind (too costly to ship back to the US).

#6 Vietnam, Afghanistan, and now Israel. The history of the US politicians in charge hauling ass/running away.

#7 I anticipate the pier being crushed in a non-classic docking maneuver. Repairs will take longer than original construction.

#8 I think this convinces me the plan here is to fail on purpose and try to control The Narrative.

And it won't be the fault of Hamas. And it won't be the fault of General Insurance Ryder.

And they will fail, because that is just too easy a hanging fruit for an unanticipated aspiring martyr. Shit, they already flubbed the narrative with this statement right here; any boom and Hamas doesn't like Paleos.

#9 "If Hamas truly care for Palestinian People"

State Department said the same thing when advocating for work permits for Palestinians when people questioned if Palestinians would simply use the work visas for terror attacks.

#10 Pentagon Spokesman: "No Boots On he Ground", so what could go wrong?

" Swarms of drones were also deployed to attack naval vessels and energy infrastructure.

Alongside thousands of rockets, the group launched volleys of a new loitering munition—also known as a suicide drone—called the Zouari, named after the late Hamas engineer and drone pilot, Mohammed Zouari."

#11 ^ Our lovely government specializes in sniffing out global shi* sammaches. Staying out of other people's business is a foreign concept in Washington.
