Lindsey Graham on Kharg Island: "We did Iwo Jima. We can do this."

‪Eliot Higgins‬

Around 7000 Americans were killed on Iwo Jima and 19,000 wounded, and it was part of a campaign that ended with a nuclear weapon being used, so maybe not the wisest comparison.

I was just talking with my daughter & her husband. He is from Europe, where they live with their baby daughter. He is a government worker. People there recognize that the felon & Netanyahu have started a fight they cannot control, as it escalates over the last 36 hours.

if he keeps this up, no one is safe anymore. This is a ticking time bomb, and he is ready to light the fuse.

I can't believe this insanity.

My son-in-law is a government worker, who used to come to the US frequently. They had hoped to visit during the holidays, but their government advised against it. He said that is common across Europe.
