Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Israel has already fought multiple wars with its neighbors, and the US never interceded

The US has been sending military aid, military advisors, and military assets into the region around Israel for over 80 years. The US has stationed two different carrier groups to support the Israeli invasion of Gaza.

Right, which is why I specified "send US troops". That's not going to happen, so they remain available for a potential conflict with China.

The US sent two carrier groups in October. Both have already returned home.

Who do you think is manning those carrier groups?

Both have already returned home.

They're on rotation. The USS Lincoln is set to replace the Roosevelt, which was replacing the Eisenhower.
