      Bring in some USMC LCACs drive it right on up the beach.

      And fucking dare Israel to.

        Dare them to do what, the US supports them. The US isn’t staring anyone down here, they’re watching a genocide and selling the gas for the chambers.

        Absolute fantasy that they’re some saviours here, they enabled this and are getting enough push back to make the barest effort to appease critic in an election year.

          That would change overnight if we had personel getting pasted by IDF while dropping off supplies.

          One of the big differences between now and USS Liberty is by how much coverage these things get. It would be hard to keep it out of the media.

          Besides which, LCACs have been used before in exactly this role. (They’re hovercraft designed to drop off tanks in a beach. IIRC, they were used in Africa?)
