sink multiple US carrier groups to stop the Palestinians being slaughteredI’m pretty sure we have boots on the ground already.
In Gaza?
The very same
That can’t be true. Israel is bombing everywhere in Gaza indiscriminately. If the US was covertly on the ground in Gaza, they would be murdered.
It’s not totally indiscriminate, they aren’t shelling their own forces or they’d have a revolt. US special forces are known to be embedded with them doing “raids”. US surveillance uncrewed aerial vehicles (drones) are also in the area providing them surveillance. There was recently an unconfirmed report that a top US sniper was shot and killed there.
Is there a difference, under international law, between a State that supplies money & arms to terrorists who commit a genocide and a State that has boots on the ground committing the genocide?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
While the documents do not suggest that U.S. military ground involvement in the war is forthcoming, the January memo is the latest intimation of the Pentagon’s preparations to support Israel in the wake of Hamas’s October 7 attack.
Two days after Kirby’s remarks, the White House inadvertently shared a picture of President Joe Biden in Israel posing alongside members of the secretive U.S. special operations units, before quickly deleting it.
The documents obtained by The Intercept provide a stark reminder of the pervasive U.S. military presence in the Middle East, with personnel deployed to theaters where many Americans think the mission ended long ago — and how quickly those orders can be repurposed for new conflicts.
The deployments are “part of a comprehensive strategy to defeat ISIS,” the White House informed Congress in December, “to limit the potential for resurgence of these groups and to mitigate threats to the United States homeland.”
A grim reminder of the longevity of the anti-ISIS deployment emerged Sunday, when three American soldiers were killed in a drone attack on a secret U.S. base in Jordan, near the border of Syria.
A senior official from an alliance of Iraqi militia groups claiming credit for the attack tied it to U.S. support for Israel in its Gaza war, as The Intercept previously reported.
