This is very complicated. Only the most in depth expert analysis can parse out all the elements of this conundrum. Let me do my best to put the situation under context. Joe Biden is a piece of shit. Anthony Blinken is a piece of shit. The U.S. Democrat party are a piece of shit and so are a good number of Republicans . Qatar is a piece of shit country run by corrupt islamofascist pieces of shit. I hope that’s not too complicated. I could make it more complicated, but it’s not. We have an air base in Qatar. We could use that to vaporize the royal family. Qatar is a tiny country that supports terrorism. The Saudis hate them. The rest of the gulf states are not too keen on them. They are in league with Iran. We do not need their oil or gas.,They are harboring terrorists who just killed dozens of Americans and took Americans hostage. Tell them to hand over the Hamas leaders or be blown off the face of the earth. Give them 24 hours.

Quatar is about 4 400 square miles. A 1-megaton warhead would kill anyone within a one-mile radius, air-burst with nothing inbetween.

Offer the quatari to drop a 5-megaton warhead on them every 24 hours, until the leaders of Hamas are offered up as turkeys for Thanksgiving?

You don’t even need to go radioactive. Tell them that a few MOABS on the Royal palaces and some daisy cutters on their oil production facilities are on the way and done deal. They will hand over the Hamas billionaires in a heartbeat. Then they will fly to Monaco and party like its 1999.

Trump dropped a MOAB on ISIS in Afghanistan in 2017…it didn’t stop terrorism.

You do realize Qatar helped Trump cut a deal with the Taliban to end our forever war and bring our troops home?? Of course to a Cheney Republican every problem can be solved by dropping a 5-megaton warhead on Muslims. ;)

I have to laugh at the assholes who have no content at all and block me.

What the fuck are they blocking me from?

Then there are the other assholes who have commenters that have no content whatsoever (probably fake poster accounts) monopolizing the conversation.

I prefer it when you zips are blunt like you instead of this "war is bad" or this "self-defense" nonsense. You don't even pretend to care about human life like Schachtel does. Your cold-blooded psychopathic mindset is on full display, and I thank you for it.

I would say that the upside to Israel approaches zero. They have to fight wars that they may not win including not only Hamas, but possibly Hezbollah and Iran. So that could be an existential crisis for the country in terms of its survival. Ultimately they are fighting for survival. Yes I know that our government in the United States is engaged in a number of nefarious activities. And in general government tends to attract some bad people. And I know that Israel and the USA helped to foster Hamas as an entity decades ago. But I would say to you, that you have no evidence that Israel knew about this attack ahead of time. Zero. So I'd be careful speculating in that regard. And regardless of the back story, Hamas needs to go. It's one thing to say that a government may have known about an impending attack. It's another thing to commit atrocities. Hamas committed atrocities.

Amir from behold Israel described what happened with the intelligence. Biden had an Iranian Spy Ring in his administration if you haven’t hear about Robert Malley under investigation I’d go read. Also when I start hearing the poor Palestine ppl story I remind them that they had planned this attack on Israel for a year and didn’t have a plan to get the Palestine ppl out of harms way knowing the repercussions of what they were about to do. Israel has tried everything for peace but Muslims don’t want that. They want Jews dead so the only option is to level Gaza. I don’t blame them. Biden has our border wide open and these terrorist have been coming through and believe me 9/11 will be nothing compared to what they have planned for us here. This is a treasonous administration all I can do is pray

The thing is Netanyahu could barely cobble together a government. He was under intense pressure because of the judicial reform issue. He’s hanging on by a thread. So he’s going to allow a potentially existential threat with massacred Jews. which he knew would result in vehement criticism of his government to happen? I don’t buy that. Besides being grotesquely sadistic and unpatriotic, it’s way too risky. I don’t see it. 🤷🏼

The Egypt angle has been denied by the Egyptian government. That was fake news.

Israel gets 4 billion dollars a year in loan guarantees and that is 100% used to buy US weapons. The U.S. does this not because of the lobbying of Jews, but because it suits their objectives in foreign policy and militarily. The U.S. doesn’t have a lot of arms to send. Israel has its own weapons industry. They need ammo. That’s what the U.S. is sending. The goal here is not to have the U.S. fighting. It’s for Israel to kick ass and rid themselves of a constant existential threat. Israel has to worry about survival. It’s not about playing global games.

Yes, it may happen. But the US has been helping Iran. Why would they want Israel to attack them? The Biden Admin and Obama gave them billions for their nuclear program.. Whatever. Time will tell.

Matt - I don’t blame you for being suspicious of peoples’ motivations. There are plenty of conspiracies that are real. And I agree with you. But sometimes as the apocryphal Sigmund Freud story goes: “ A cigar is just a cigar.” Time will tell.
