That is the worst determination within the historical past of the US-Israel relationship to disclaim weapons at a time the Jewish state might be destroyed.”
“Historians would say, why is it OK for Reagan to do it and never President Biden?” Welker stated.
“Why is it OK for America to drop two nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to finish their existential risk struggle?” Graham responded. “Why was it OK for us to try this? I believed it was OK. To Israel: Do no matter it’s a must to do to outlive as a Jewish state! No matter it’s a must to do!”
“Once more, army officers say the expertise has modified,” Welker stated.
“These army officers that you simply’re speaking about are filled with c—!” Graham fired again.
