    I’m not convinced Biden is wrong on either count.

    Israel is hunting down would be terrorist threats like it’s nobody’s business (if they had the capability I’m sure Hamas would’ve attacked the US). I’m not saying the overkill is right or that it won’t have consequences, but the Hamas threat is real. Beyond that, we risk an escalation if Iran (or friends) that don’t love the US or its allies start getting ideas about helping out Hamas.

    Ukraine is fighting back similar Russian aggression.

    Hamas, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and China must not be sent signals that the world is open for use of offensive force. If the US and allies stand back and “let Hitler have his war”, history will rhyme again and this conflict will come to our doorstep.

      At least Americans are honest about believing that they’ll eventually need to kill or dominate every other nation on earth to keep ahead of all the conflicts they already started. Nobody can possibly retaliate if everyone else is dead I guess.
