A shooting war is breaking out in the Middle-East (again) but this time soldiers from the Show-Me State are headed directly into the line of fire on a training mission to protect civilians.
Highlights from top headlines the whole world is watching today:
BBC: Israeli fighter jet crashes under Syria fire, military says
Time: Israel Says it Has Carried Out a 'Large Scale Attack' Against Iranian Targets in Syria
Haaretz: Seven Comments on the Escalating Israeli-Iranian Game of Chicken in Syria
MORE IMPORTANTLY, HERE'S HOW ALL OF THIS HITS CLOSER TO HOME . . .
Missouri to Partner With Israeli Home Front Command
Deets:
Gov. Eric Greitens says the Missouri National Guard will participate in training exercises with Israeli troops who are part of a special command focused on civilian protection.
The partnership means the two groups will participate in joint training exercises and exchange information on homeland defense tactics and procedures. He says Missouri is only the fourth state to achieve the partnership . . . This relationship was developed during Greitens' trade mission to Israel in 2017.
Developing . . .
I think they're only "in the line" of fire in the same way that all of Israel and the free world is in the line of fire of terrorists and their weapons.

ReplyDeleteRemember that next time you got George Soros' dick in your mouth 7:57
ReplyDeleteThey’ll teach them how to eliminate the problem with this city, you all know who they are
ReplyDeleteI hate these Proxy Wars.
ReplyDeleteNone of us, none of us, really know what is going on over there and why.
I don't believe any of the bullshit coming from the Intelligence Agencies the Pentagon - none of them.
All that matters is that Israel takes care of business, and they’re good at it too
ReplyDeleteMore brave Americans will die fighting the enemies of Israel, just as they've been doing for decades now.
ReplyDeleteGood, while they’re at it, it’s time for the Third Temple to be built in Jerusalem, the legit capital of Israel.
ReplyDeleteFull cavity search, roto-rooter.
ReplyDeleteWhat is really important is seeing how many Syrians and Iranians we can kill.
ReplyDeleteWhen did a God Damned Governor get the authority to send U.S. Troops overseas?
ReplyDeleteThat is a Presidential Power, and should be done with the advice and consent of Congress!
IMPEACH THIS OUT OF CONTROL IDIOT NOW!
Israel has began deporting Jews. They're the wrong color, you see.
ReplyDelete11:51, national guard units are under control of the state governor unless federalized by order of the President. Overseas deployment for training purposes is certainly within the authority of state governors.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know the National Motto of Israel?
ReplyDeleteIs it really "Hand Extended, Expectant"?
12:16, it certainly is not within their authority!
ReplyDeleteTheir authority ends at the State Line, read the Federal Act authorizing the National Guard.
If any one of these Missouri Citizens gets wounded or killed during this absurdity, it will be totally on "Ol' Faithful's" head!
For those paying attention, it has been said that US troops backing Syrian anti regime forces, were attacked by Syrian regime forces including Soviet troops. We may never hear the truth, but this gets awfully close to something that could escalate in minutes.
ReplyDeleteOf course we fought back. Then there is the incremental encroachment of Iranian forces in Syria near the Golan, and the to be expected Israeli attack, then the downing of an Israeli plane. Oftentimes Iran uses Soviet forces as a screen.
How many ways could this go wrong is rather remarkable. Too hot for politicos to comment. Meanwhile China moves latest fighter to duty over the South China Sea. We live in interesting times.
"Oftentimes Iran uses Soviet forces as a screen."
ReplyDeleteThat's ridiculous.
Just goes to prove the description "Shithole On The Jordan" doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteSoviet troops ?
ReplyDeletedid the Soviet Union
make a come back ?
Threatens never served in combat, despite being a Seal. He was on staff and planning. His glorified military service is Fake News!
ReplyDeleteDefending the reversed Holocaust,fuck the numbers runners!
ReplyDelete12:23, Not so sure you are right about that. I have friends who were in the Missouri Air National Guard. They often took training flights (boondoggles, IMO) to foreign countries. Why would that not apply equally to non-fliers?
ReplyDeletePray for our troops, pray for peace.
ReplyDeleteNice sentiment, but it's been proven that prayer doesn't actually do anything, maybe because there's no one up there listening. We are on our own, which is why the Christians pray for the end times, & everyone else hopes our space brothers will come & rescue us from ourselves.
ReplyDelete12:07: Are you aware that at least half of the Jews in Israel are of Middle Eastern, African or Asian origin or ancestry and are not white? And that 20 percent of Israeli citizens (Israel, not the West Bank or Gaza) are non-Jewish Arabs? Israel IS deporting non-Jewish African illegal immigrants, and it's very controversial in and outside Israel. However, many thousands of Jewish Israeli citizens are of black African origin or ancestry. You and most of the other anti-Semites and Israel haters here are fucking ignorant.
ReplyDeleteGovernor on trade mission: trades our troops for theirs.
ReplyDeleteThank you @7:41 for sharing some knowledge with the rubes.
ReplyDeleteI support my country, the troops and our allies. Israel was right to defend itself and glad to see Missouri soldiers protecting the innocent once again!
How the fuck is that legal?
