    Trump would try. I don’t know if Netanyahu would ask for troops, and I don’t know if Trump and the GQP would be able to fabricate enough evidence for the U.S. public to stomach a foreign war against Hamas, but I know Trump is stupid enough that he’d make a grand, sweeping statement about putting U.S. troops in Gaza before anything was approved.

      Doubt it. Trump wants his troops at the border to harass Mexicans.

      In all his years Trump didn’t start a single war. He even withdrew from Afghanistan.

      Chances are higher of Biden starting a war with Iran than Trump.

        That might be fair, and maybe Trump would just be shoveling weapons to the Israelis as fast as they could buy them.

        However, he’d also be providing zero support for the Ukrainians, and would probably be arguing to cease even more support to Ukraine in favor of support to Israel. While I do not support the genocide of Palestine, I also do not support the idea of Putin grinding Ukraine to dust to suit his ego. Considering Trump would gladly be complicit to both, I’ll still eventually have to vote for Biden.

        I just want him to fucking work a bit for it.

          Well israel can’t win a war against Iran and their neighbours without US help. Netanyahu is doing everything he can to escalate the war with Lebanon and Biden is only supporting him.

          Biden received more israeli lobby money than Trump.

          1 Biden, Joe (D) President $3,753,244

          2 Trump, Donald ® President $894,032

          Almost 4 times as much. And that’s just open money.

          I’m still on the fence and learning more every day, but it seems to me like Biden is unironcally more Genocidal than Trump.

          That said, don’t vote for either of those maniacs. Cornel West, Jill Stein, many alternatives that don’t support genocide.

            Seriously the guy who would have let both Israel AND Russia do whatever they please is less.l genocidal? Mind blowing

              Letting israel do as they please is not the problem. Giving them billions in free weapons and bypassing Congress to enable them to do it is the problem.
