OSINT Shows U.S. Deploying More Arms and Troops to Israel, Cyprus and Jordan

Close to 80 U.S. military planes and dozens of leased civilian aircraft are hauling equipment, with massive arms airlift to Israel and Cyprus and fighter squadrons and special forces in Jordan

https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/security-aviation/2023-10-24/ty-article/u-s-deploys-more-arms-and-troops-to-israel-cyprus-and-jordan/0000018b-5cbf-d307-adbb-7dbf1aa80000

See also the fake aid bullshit that serves no one but Israeli interests:

And also:

https://www.declassifieduk.org/u-s-military-is-secretly-supplying-weapons-to-israel-using-uk-base-on-cyprus

Over the past year, numerous outlets have reported that US and UK military aircraft have increasingly arrived at Britain’s RAF Akrotiri base in Cyprus last year, in an effort to reportedly assist Israeli forces in their offensive on Gaza by supplying arms and ammunition and conducting surveillance to collect and provide intelligence.

Or you know, even before Oct 7th, when Israel was already and still an apartheid ethno state practicing ethnic cleansin: https://www.army.mil/article/267671/u_s_army_convoy_operation_to_israel

Sure the US troops aren't firing the bullets. But they are supplying them, supplying targeting intelligence, etc etc. That's pretty much just as bad.

Fuck this thing veneer of respectability.

Those troops were sent to Jordan, not Israel.

And because you editted: Intel is not 'just as bad' as actually shooting bullets. It probably even helps as actual intel of terrorist movements might prevent innocent deaths

“I’ve directed my team to share intelligence and deploy additional experts from across the United States government to consult with and advise the Israeli counterparts on hostage recovery efforts,”

not fighting.

One is defending international civilian shipping, not Israel. The other is shooting down drones which is not the problem ya'll are talking about right?

It's not even to the point. A Trump (the guy who had a private personal meeting behind the closed doors of his owned home with Netanyahu, and came out wiping his chin) presidency would see all of your gripes and far more committed to Israel. You are cutting off your nose to spite your face bitching about the lesser of 2 evils.

Read the second link too.

[–] Cephalotrocity@biglemmowski.win -5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Read my comment. I did.

[–] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You mean defending the Nazis against retaliation while they are committing Genocide, using American with boots on the ground, is not complicity?

Aside from the guy in the F35 pressing the red fire button everything about the Genocide is American.

Actually scratch that there's a probably some American colonists flying those bombers as well.

I'll repeat this in the hopes it snaps you out of you rabid hate-rant:

You are cutting off your nose to spite your face bitching about the lesser of 2 evils.

Joe Biden is already out mate. Your argument is completely invalid.

Enough pressure on the Democrats and the Genocide stops.

[–] Cephalotrocity@biglemmowski.win -3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Still speaking nonsense. Well, I tried.

[–] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Enough voting pressure in the polls will make Democrats change their policy and force a ceasefire.

Supporting Democrats despite the Genocide will only boost the chance Democrats lose because they dont change policy.

Joe Biden dropping out is all the evidence you need that they won't continue with a policy or candidate that will make them lose.

[–] Cephalotrocity@biglemmowski.win -3 points 3 months ago

Biden dropping out is all the proof you need that he doesn't care at all anymore about voting pressure.

You are cutting off your nose to spite your face bitching about the lesser of 2 evils.
