        The army turned Omaha Beach into a working supply area on June 7th under German artillery fire. They can make a pier in less than a week in Gaza no problem if they wanted to.

          There’s a lot we could do. We could end this genocide with one phone call honestly.

          The threat of abandoning Israel and withdrawing our forces in the area would make Israel agree to anything. They just know Biden isn’t willing to do anything close to that.

          We’re talking about what Biden is willing to do in the timeline Biden is willing to do it in.

          And that’s 2 months for the US military to build a pier.

          Hell we don’t even need a pier.

          A LHD has a fucking hovercraft, helicopters, and can hold an insane amount of supplies.

          I spent a couple years on one, and even did aid missions like this before.

          We might not be able to provide electricity and water without pier connections, but we don’t need a pier to provide packaged aid.

            I really don’t believe that’s true. I think Israel’s leaders have lost their goddamn minds and they’d be willing to end themselves and the rest of the Middle East in nuclear fire if it came down to it, which it probably would if the U.S. decided to wash their hands of Israel.

            If I had to lay a bet, it’s that the pier is the beginning of a US outpost in Gaza, as a check to Israeli expansion.

      It’ll take longer than that, once Israel starts “accidentally” bombing the site lol.
