As we watch this horrible situation in Israel unfold, Americans must face a stark truth: our tax dollars funded this.
Money is fungible, and many of the dollars we sent to Iran are being used to now kill innocent people.
This must stop.
Israel has every right to defend itself. I wish our friends well, but most of all I wish they werenโt fighting against weapons bought with our money.
๐บ๐ฆ๐ท๐บ BUDANOV: RUSSIA WAS NOT READY FOR THE WAR TO COME HOME
โThe Russians were not psychologically prepared for the possibility of drones, and sometimes missiles, arriving on a massive scale.
For them, this is a shock. Their society is neither prepared nor willing to accept it.
They believed this could never happen because they are very strong, very powerful, and everyone is afraid of them. It turns out that is not the case.โ - Kyrylo Budanov ๐บ๐ฆ
The Kremlin built its war on distance, fear and impunity. Ukraineโs long-range capabilities are steadily dismantling all three.
In the face of Ankaraโs escalating aggression, Israel is deepening one of the most important strategic alliances in the Eastern Mediterranean with Greece and Cyprus.
๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฌ๐ท๐จ๐พ
Erdoganโs Turkey has occupied northern Cyprus since 1974, has threatened Greece with war for decades should it extend its territorial waters, and seeks to impose a new maritime order through its โBlue Homelandโ doctrine at the expense of Greece, Cyprus, and regional stability.
In Syria, Ankara is the principal external patron of the Islamist terror regime in Damascus. At its head stands Ahmad al Sharaa, a former Al Qaeda operative sent to Syria by Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, the founder of ISIS, for those who may have forgotten.
This regime bears full responsibility for the mass killings and sectarian violence against Alawites and Druze, which many survivors and observers describe as ethnic cleansing, as well as for violent campaigns against the Kurds. Turkey provides it with political, military, and economic backing.
At the same time, Hamas headquarters operating freely from Turkish soil directing terror activity in Israel and Europe, recruiting operatives, transferring funds and weapons, and coordinating attacks under the protection of Erdoganโs regime.
It must be said plainly: Erdoganโs ingratitude is beyond comprehension.
In Turkeyโs darkest hours, Israel was there. During the 1999 earthquake and again after the devastating earthquake of 2023, Israel sent rescue teams, doctors, field hospitals, equipment, and humanitarian aid. Israel saved Turkish lives beneath the rubble.
Erdogan chose to repay this by turning Turkey into a global stronghold of Islamist, Hamas aligned antisemitism.
The alliance with Greece and Cyprus, together with our deepening cooperation in energy, security, and defense industries, is a vital strategic pillar against the imperialist Islamist terror policy of the regime in Ankara.
