Is the U.S military preparing to join the war, possibly in response to an inevitable entry by Hezbollah and/or Iran?

  • USS Ford carrier strike group in the eastern Mediterranean in a show of force, a senior U.S. defense official confirmed to Fox News on Saturday.


Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin made the decision on Saturday, according to the official.

The development comes as Israeli forces are preparing to conduct a ground invasion of the Gaza Strip.

  • "I have directed the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group (CSG) to begin moving to the Eastern Mediterranean. As part of our effort to deter hostile actions against Israel or any efforts toward widening this war following Hamas's attack on Israel,

"The increases to U.S. force Posture signal the United States' ironclad commitment to Israel's security and our resolve to deter any state or non-state actor seeking to escalate this war," he added.

THE SENATE BILL WILL BE DEAD ON ARRIVAL IN THE HOUSE !!!

BATTLE ON THE HILL!!!!! The agreement holds the potential to allocate $60 billion to Ukraine and $14 billion to Israel, yet its passage through the House appears doubtful. House Republicans have deemed the bill a non-starter unless it incorporates essential components from H.R.2, the House GOP border bill. With Senate Democrats dismissing H.R.2, tensions persist.  https://www.foxnews.com/politics/senate-releases-long-awaited-border-legislation Meanwhile, Johnson vowed to put $17.6 billion in emergency funding on the House floor next week to give Israel assistance. The package has the backing of Senate leaders and the Biden administration, who have said the funding is for the two U.S. allies ($60 billion for Ukraine and $14 billion for Israel) coupled with a bipartisan agreement that will provide approximately $20 billion to control illegal immigration at the southern border, where numbers hit a record 2.4 million encounters in FY 23. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/heres-whats-in-...
