Col. (Ret.) Rich Outzen: 'With the Trump office, I suspect whatever his reservations and whatever his tempering language and maybe even criticism at some points, you'll still see full military support'

If Israel is forced to resume fighting against Hamas in Gaza, the U.S. is expected to provide full support, according to Col. (Ret.) Rich Outzen, Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council.

He told ILTV that even under the previous administration of President Joe Biden, the amount of military aid and ammunition that was withheld from Israel was “very, very minor.”

“With the Trump office, I suspect whatever his reservations and whatever his tempering language and maybe even criticism at some points, you’ll still see full military support,” Outzen said.

    Most leftist voters around me knew that a vote for Harris or Trump was a vote for genocide, but I don’t think anyone but the truly gullible thought that a vote for Trump was a vote against genocide. Most voted for Harris as a means of harm reduction, especially considering that Harris could probably be pressured out of genocide if we made a big enough stink.

    The whole “Genocide Joe” trope reminds me a lot of the “Bernie Bro’s” trope of 2016; a largely manufactured division of leftist and liberal voters to promote infighting.
