Comment on Is there a reason the US is sending 100 of our people to Israel?

It’s a defensive missile battery, the US expects more missile attacks from Iran and plans to counter them.
This whole thing is a war between the US and Iran, it just happens to be occurring in Israel.

I love when the agency of non-Americans gets ignored because no one but America is worth of being terrible.

Israel couldn’t be fighting Iran without Western support. Iran is literally 8 times bigger in terms of population, and has oil money to fund itself.
Agency is worth nothing if you can’t back it up.

Iran has a stated goal of destroying Israel. That’s why they’re funding multiple terrorist groups to attack Israel.
Israel doesn’t have a choice at this point, any more than Ukraine does fighting Russia.
