We can almost thank Iran for shooting at Israel here, as well as the Israeli aid being tied to Ukrainian aid. This has now spurred deep interest in passing the aid bill ASAP.
Its about damn time we got this passed. And remember, vote the fucking assholes out of office. Every Republican traitor who held up this bill for the last 5 months literally has Ukrainian blood on their hands.

Sadly this is my thought too. Also, any Shahed drones Iran is firing themselves at someone else are fewer that are being given to Russia to fire at Ukraine.
Rather 300 missiles into the iron dome than intro Ukrainian cities.
What worries me more is that Israel has plenty of missiles for both civilians in Gaza and civilians in Iran, and Netanyahu is currently foaming at the mouth over the opportunity to use them.
Iran is a real regional power. I don’t think its clear that Israel can win vs Iran.
Biden/USA has already stated it won’t help Israel counter-attack Iran. If Israel wants to start a war over this, then its on them. We’ve washed our hands clean of it.
As it stands, the Iranians think they hurt Israel with their missiles. While USA / Israel have intimidated the Iranian Revolutionary Guards by shooting down every single one of their missiles, proving that our defense is superior to their offense. Iran didn’t want a war (and definitely doesn’t want a war anymore), so letting things stay as they are is perfect.
This was a transactional response. Israel spent 300+ million more shooting down the targets than they cost. Because of drones, military and economic warfare overlap.
Well, perfect is a strong word…
Well… more perfect than Israel retaliating or… us letting the missiles through.
Its hard to complain about this current set of events. But we need to hope that Israel actually moves for peace now on that front. Israel can’t just be pissing off everyone in the region.
Thank Israel then. They bombed and Iranian consulate, this is the Iranian response. Honestly think it’s all just for some media cover for their extermination efforts.
Thank Iran then, for [etc etc for a thousand years]
Iran was USA’s ally in the 1950s actually. The Iranian revolution of 1979 is what turned them against us.
There’s a lot of complexity here, but its very 1950s-style US foreign policy where we refuse elections for a local population, they rebel and go off in a worse direction. There’s a lot of hypocrisy in 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s America.
I have issues with Democrats but will never vote for another Republican - ever.
Pretty much the boat a lot of us are in.
It is about goddamn-fucking-time Ukrainian aid passes. These R dipshits have helped Russia/Putin incredibly and now we are sending over what probably would have been enough for ongoing defense prior to Ukraine having to secede territory. Now they need even more to be victorious and we know they ain’t passing shit in the near term unless they are voted out.
I wish we would pay Ukraine bounties on Russian troll farms and any other psyops shit they do to fuck with elections abroad.
Damn that’s a really good idea. We should be doing that. Ukraine appears to have the intelligence community to pull that off already.
It’s a satisfying idea, but I’m sure there are nuanced reasons it’s not practicable
So when is Trump gonna order Republicans to vote against it?
Once he’s done servicing Putin.
