“I told Prime Minister Netanyahu that Israel demonstrated a remarkable capacity to defend against and defeat even unprecedented attacks — sending a clear message to its foes that they cannot effectively threaten the security of Israel,” Biden said.

      Would you rather have had him tell Israel the U.S. would assist in an attack on Iran?

      Because I guarantee you that Trump would have and I doubt that’s actually what you want.

        Would you rather have had him tell Israel the U.S. would assist in an attack on Iran?

        I’d rather have confidence that he won’t assist anyway.

        Yeah, actually.

        At least then he’d be being honest.

        I still wouldn’t vote for him, but it would be preferable to lies.

            I wasn’t born yesterday.

            Do you think the US won’t attack Iran if it legitimately threatened Israel?

              I can’t predict the future like you, sorry. But I’d love to borrow your crystal ball and buy some lottery tickets if you wouldn’t mind.

                  You do know this statement was about what is happening right now and not about what might happen if Iran carried out some hypothetical future attack, right?

                    Why don’t you say what you want to say instead of asking roundabout questions?

                    Lol.
