          So, the Iron Dome specifically. What does it do? Is it offensive or defensive?

          I honestly fucking hate being the person who appears to be defending Israel. I’m not. I’m just tired of this infighting purity test bullshit

            If you give a bulletproof vest to the Uvalde shooter while he’s shooting up the school, is it offensive or defensive?

              Shit analogy.

              If you send the civilians living under a hostile government into a bunker to defend them against counter attack, are you offending or defending?

                So why isn’t AOC sending interceptor missiles to Iran which actually has innocent civilians?

                Hey, can you tell me why Israel asked for a ceasefire in the 12 day war again? Oh yeah, because their interceptors ran out.

                  Because she’s a congressperson, and they don’t have unilateral authority to do things like that?

                  Are you aware of how the US government works, or?

                  Iran which actually has innocent civilians

                  Israel doesn’t have innocent civilians?

                    That’s strange. I never saw AOC file an amendment to send interceptors to Iran. You’re right, that must be because he isn’t the glorious dictator of the USA.

                    Tell me, if AOC was the glorious dictator of America, you believe that she would be sending interceptors to Iran, right? Or are you going to admit this is a massive red herring?

                    Also, why did the 12-day war end? You seem to not want to answer that question.

                    Debates whether off duty genocidal militants, which will be deployed to another genocide in a single phone call, are civilians, can be held next.
