    Glad my taxes could fund the clown show. Just put our fucken boots on the ground if we care about humanity. Dare the IDF to reenact the USS Liberty.

      Biden should be roasted harder over this. It’s a 300 Million dollar pier that never delivered aid and nearly immediately came apart. Such a stupid idea.

        Seriously and they also spent months working on it that could have been used to actually deliver some aide.

        The idea was that it would be harder for Israel to block aid too (ignoring that the US could force Israel’s hand if it wanted). Yet by the time they got the thing up for its entire week of operation, the IDF controlled the area where it was attached, and of course the IDF prevented aid deliveries.
