Imagine the cops in Uvalde TX blocking parents from entering the school to stop the school shooter.
They are not directly attacking the children, but they are protecting the shooter from being stopped. Defending Israel is that times a thousand.
The THAAD systems are not defending civilian areas but Israeli military bases. To make matters worse almost all the weapons used by Israel are made in the USA.
Dummy use dead kids to make a dumb irrelevant point, they’re not punctuation marks for bad ideas. Similarly it’s not at like that.
It’s not. That’s your belief it just doesn’t really stand the test of basic reality.
Yes, that’s generally where missile defense systems exist and you’ll notice is almost certainly going to protect our top secret listening post. You know that thing that if it’s destroyed weakens intelligence gathering from most of the middle east and huge swaths of Asia.
There’s are lots of reasons to be upset at the us, tons in fact. Defense systems aren’t really one of those. They just let us get boots on the ground and if the American playbook holds true a good third of those people will be intelligence assets. Similarly thaad can intercept outgoing missiles as well so there’s also the threat that the US can now directly stop an Israeli missile strike if they do not want it to happen.
This isn’t the first time thaad has gone to Israel and they always end up protecting the expensive goofball not Israeli assets.
