On today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report:

Though the Biden Administration has said there will be no US troops on the ground in Israel’s war on Gaza, The Intercept reports yesterday on a US Air Force memo informing personnel to be “on standby to forward deploy to support troops in the case of on ground US involvement in the Israel Hamas war.” Our war?
