Following the opening salvo in Israel’s bombardment of Iran, many members of Congress rushed to declare their support for the Jewish state. Some went further, demanding the White House defend Tel Aviv from retaliation. A small number of lawmakers criticized Israel and urged Washington to stay out of the conflict.

The article offers a set of post from US politicians calling to support Israel and even a regime change. It also points out that a handful of lawmakers did oppose the Israeli strikes. Like Rep. Massie, who was the only member of Congress to point out that the attack Israel launched on Friday was an offensive war of aggression.

    They very likely have nukes there, but if there are they aren’t under their own control. The US has to approve the launch, or flat out holds the controls.

          What do you mean? It’s well known that Israel has nukes. And if you believed Bibi asked the Turd for permission you’re beyond delusional.
