  1. So, the US is still trying to trigger WW3. I think Israel can handle this problem easily if they just take off the velvet gloves and end this completely. The US needs to stay out, the petrodollar is dead and the dollar reserve has been overthrown.

  2. The Pitbull came to defend his master.๐Ÿ˜…

  4. Israรซl has atheist Zionist USA and the ๐Ÿ’ต of the American people. Palestine has God and the legitimacy of fighting for their land.

  5. I don't know why America supports Israeli occupying terrorism.

  6. Give the carrier to Ukraine

  7. The unintelligent uninformed ignorant comments from all the civilian military experts are quite entertaining.

  8. Why is the U.S. participating in this evil? Israel is guilty of crimes against humanity, just like the Germans were at the start of WWII. The U.S. should not take sides here. Our national leaders are already complicit in these crimes, yet we can't keep our aircraft carriers at home where they belong. It's the Defense Department, not the Offense Department. Our bumbling president and his faithful sidekick Blinken don't seem to know the difference. Our mainstream press doesn't seem to either.

  9. The unites states needs to stay out of the middle east. One day, I hope the united states gets invaded and occupied for 10yrs or so.

    I just want to see the inevitable hypocrisy of the state whine and cry.

  10. How about sending our Military Assets to our border!

  11. Note to @NBC News. The F22 is the most advanced fighter aircraft in existence in terms of stealth. The F22 still beats the F35 in terms of stealth even though itโ€™s decades old.

  12. The PLO president is going to meet Russia, probably to ask for instructions, military aid and funding, any one is surprised? The world should stop sleeping like it did before WW2 and take action otherwise it will get worse and it will be too late.

  13. Why don't you fire this pirate battle sea of trash against Russia?
    Your terrified to, that's why.
    Putin met up with Cuba recently about attacks in the middle east, and North Korea too who are China's closest ally.
    The world's largest ever nukes are waiting for America.

  14. Why to they have to announce every thing? So they going to let the enemy know they are coming? SMH

  15. US is not going to do Squat!

  16. We already sent 300 million to Ukraine whatโ€™s another 200 gonna do

  17. Lol israel can't protect them self ?

  18. This would be a great time for Russia and China North Korea to attack U.S.A is becoming weaker and weaker

  19. Funny how Israel needs back up every time from usa ๐Ÿ˜‚ them pigs

  20. If USA comes to help Israel Iran n Russia n china n the whole Middle East gonna support Palestine n f Israel yall so disgusting yโ€™all support pigs ๐Ÿ‘ž๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ–

  21. Itโ€™s none of yall business Israel taking over yโ€™all canโ€™t take a land thatโ€™s not yours

  22. ๐Ÿ‘โœจ๐Ÿ‘โœจ

  23. Many presidents made a single foolish decision that destroyed them , so Mr President donโ€™t be fool and drift into that immortal conflict , Palestinian people has the right to defend themselves and their own land ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ
    One more thing I donโ€™t understand why you are sending the most advanced nuclear Gerald R Ford to fight against a group of people on motorcycles and parachutes??? There is no more oil here

  24. Ready to step on little oh Palestine, but wonโ€™t throw hands with Russia. See you soon China.

  25. Americans are the ones who knock.

  26. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช

  27. Hey Russia why don't you attack Hamas be a hero for once.

  28. More american taxpayer money gone out the window. No money for americans.

  29. This is a warning to surrounding countries to keep its feet still or else!!!
