    Are US troops involved there?

    Yes. Biden officially sent 100 troops to Israel a few weeks ago.

    I’m looking ahead, beyond the election. Don’t start lecturing me about this shit, because I’ve heard it a million times. Biden is doing less than Reagan did towards Israel.

      100 troops? That many? Why didn’t the whole Middle East surrendered already?

      But seriously, this was response to Iran’s attack and the soldiers are there to operate THAAD batteries to stop Iranian rockets (you know, to discourage Iran from firing at them in the first place to reduce chance of escalation).

      I was asking how many US soldiers are actually taking part in the offensive in Gaza.
