Trump holds up approved military aid again

[Butch_Coolidge]

Trump has good reasons to withhold aid until Lebanon meets his conditions. It's because Hezbollah wants missiles to fire into Israel.


US Reportedly Withholding Military Aid From Lebanon, Where Hezbollah is Deeply Entrenched


(CNSNews.com) – The Trump administration is reportedly withholding $105 million in military aid from Lebanon, a move that comes after Israel called on Western countries to make assistance conditional on the Lebanese government clamping down on Hezbollah’s attempts to acquire precision guided missiles.

Reuters cited two unnamed U.S. officials as saying the State Department had informed Congress Thursday of the decision to halt the assistance, but providing no reason for the decision.

The State Department referred queries to the White House Office of Management and Budget. Queries overnight to OMB brought no response by press time.

Got it He is holding up the military aid because Israel told him to, despite what our own state department and pentagon said. Trump has a history of going by what other countries say over what our own people tell him. That's not leadership. That's sucking up to other countries leaders.

Trump is the big cheese in the government. He makes the decisions as Commander In Chief.

For now.

Yeah. Which one of the three stooges do you support. They are all special needs, and none stand a chance. Batoooow just dropped out, and the rest will soon be dropping like flies.

That orange fool is at it again. He's holding up military aid to Lebanon that Congress and the State Department approved in September, and that the Pentagon says is required. As before, he offers no reason for the bone head move. Does anyone have any idea why Trump is doing such a stupid thing, or what the outcome of his double cross of Lebanon might be?

Aren't you the dumbshit who was complaining about bush the juniors wars?

BULLHOG has no idea. Whatever the GOP or Trump are currently FOR, he is currently AGAINST. If Trump took up the cause tomorrow to stop climate change and end world hunger, BULLHOG would be against it.

An incredibly disingenuous post isn't it?

You and the other far-left radicals have screamed for decades that we should get us out of unwinnable wars, bring home all our troops, and quit sending money to other countries.

Then when we have a President who is doing just that, you whine and cry even louder.

Why?

He got elected president, because he wasn’t another politically correct cookie cutter faggot, like most of the fake ass posers in senate and congress. But feel free to vote for whatever incompetent doofus that the dims offer up. Everything will be free, and your taxes will double.

So what's the problem here? We all know that Lebanon is controlled mainly by Hezbollah funded by Iran and Hamas. Yes, Beirut, where I landed in 1958. Even then the Paris of the Middle East has been fought over for years for control by Syria, Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas.

Military aid is not a war. You really don't know the difference?

 

[OKTexas]

Maybe some lame attempt to show how it's "normal" to withhold aid Congress has mandated?

So where is it written that the executive branch must spend every dime congress appropriates?

Another quid pro quo?

 

[OKTexas]

I read that the Dems were holding up the military budget for America, and, ironically, some funding as part of that was to go to Ukraine.

You heard wrong.

That's a lie, the house hasn't passed the NDAA, and it does include aid to Ukraine. Do try to keep up.

We can guess till the cows come home but one thing is clear by now, Trump is pursuing a military and diplomatic agenda that is separate, secret and at cross purposes to the pentagon and state departments. Who the hell thinks that is cool?

In other words he ain't buying into the status quo. Good job Mr. President.

WTF do we keep borrowing money to give it away. We have no reason to hand it over to a nation that lobs missiles into Israel, who is a TRUE ALLY, all the freaking time. Or they use it to fund the Terrorist group Hezballah...............

To hell with that.............Let the Arab League buy the dang weapons........Or better yet let the punk ass bitches from Iran do it..........

We need to stop borrowing money to give it away. That is INSANE.

It's not, sometimes. Other times it is. And, sometimes it leads to war
How do you not know this?

You seem to be confusing appropriations with spending, they aren't the same thing.
