We are reminded that some people think only the US should redress grievances. This is Roger Kimball, for example:
...One thing that is fog-dispersing, though, is the extraordinary armada that Trump is sending Iran’s way. Six B-2 bombers and assorted other aircraft are already at the Chagos Islands base of Diego Garcia, “the silent launchpad of American power in the Indian Ocean.” Four C-17 Globemasters, full of war materiel, are joining them. Last week, it was reported that the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier group was steaming from the South China Sea towards the Middle East. Just a day or two back, it was reported that a second aircraft carrier group, led by the USS George H. W. Bush, was en route to the Middle East. That’s more than 150 warplanes and thousands of Marines. At the same time, large amounts of military equipment, including U.S. air defense systems, are being transferred from Europe to the Middle East.
Many commentators, noting Trump’s oft-proclaimed desire for “peace on earth,” believe he has paused to see if negotiations with Iran might end the slaughter. I doubt it. Trump’s desire for peace is perfectly genuine. ..
No, that ticking sound you hear is not the world clock. It is the countdown to Iran’s liberation. Let us hope that it encompasses not just the obliteration of that horrible Islamist regime but also the unraveling and supersession of radical Islam itself. As the world has seen repeatedly since 1979 when the Ayatollah Khomeni returned to Tehran from Paris, it is a perverted, misogynistic, and death-embracing ideology masquerading as a religion. ...
Gee, Roger. Europe is a few thousand miles closer to this bunch, and Israel is practically next-door.
Why the Hell are US blood and treasure put at risk instead of those of France, England, Germany, Denmark (heh), and Italy?
Anyone else notice a problem with this???

We have already told you many times over. Trump does the bidding for Israel. He is about regime change and putting forth representative Democracy that he can control. Neons like Stephen Miller create our foreign policy.
