Why does Israel think the US should take Kharg Island? If it is such a strategic target why doesn’t Israel take it? It’s a bit suspicious how the Israelis keep telling the US how we should get Americans killed. The Israelis continue to destroy all their American support other than AIPAC and Zen Mode.

What is the idea with this anyway? If Iran doesn't have that Island then they can't ship oil? I assume the oil being exported from that Island was produced in Iran and so Iran has to feed the Island with oil. Is the idea that it would be taking an Iranian hostage so they would reopen the Strait? Uh, what if Iran says screw it, if we don't get to ship oil then no one else in the Gulf gets to ship? I give it ten days and Trump would buckle.
 


“… But only a few hundred are manufactured each year, meaning the global supply is limited. The Pentagon does not publicly disclose how many missiles are in its inventory at any one time.

… The most recent versions of the missile can cost as much as $3.6 million a piece and require up to two years to build, according to Navy documents. In recent years, they have been purchased in small batches, with just 57 included in last year’s defense budget.…”

Because Trump is their bitch.
 
Hegseth is clearly horny for this war, but I’m not sure he manages Trump well with his Holy War rhetoric. That seems like something that would turn Trump off, rather than motivate him.

Trump’s interest in religious activity is sharply curtailed when he isn’t the center of it.

I do believe that in the long run Israel is going to seriously regret what they're doing right now, as they are killing their support among younger Americans. At some point in the future Israel may genuinely need US aid and they may not get it. I see more grumbling and complaints about Israel now than ever, and I'm in my late 50s. More and more people seem to be coming to the conclusion that Israel is a troublesome and dubious ally at best, and as the number of Evangelical Christians declines in the country so will the automatic support they now get from the US government.
