#1 With Iran out of commission, who can continue to supply Hamas with weapons?

#2 ^ Either the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) or USAID.

#3 I imagine it will be a group project, Abu Uluque — certainly Hamas Big Turbans, protected in Turkey and Qatar, won’t be spending their personal billions to reequip their remaining troops.

#4 He's right, but not in the way he thinks.
All over the place right now, eyes are being opened at just how much control Israel has over our government. Their grip is so strong they can even overpower Trump, who made "no war" a central plank of his campaign.
to say nothing of being seen to give foreign aid to a country that doesn't need it. It's not like Israelis need water wells dug for them or measles vaccinations.
Americans are just furious tight now at being forced into another war.
Hell, at least in Ukraine there were trillions in resources to plunder.
Now Israel attacks just like Russia and what does America get if we win?

#8 President Trump is known for readjusting his plans when reality intrudes. His original plans included not ever running for president.

#9 Hell, at least in Ukraine there were trillions in resources to plunder.

Is America getting any of that? I thought it all went into local pockets plus to a few rapacious, Biden-connected and EU-connected consultants.

At any rate, if it weren’t for Israel the F-35 would not have been debugged, and at no charge to us. A couple of other things those clever Israelis came up with, either in partnership or gave us first chance at buying from them.
