Israel is a rogue state serving their own interests. I don't believe for one minute that Trump gave them a green light for this attack... not the day before his big beautiful birthday bash. My concern regards US troops overseas even if Iran chooses not to target them... will Israel?

Ralph Nader gets this mostly right. However, he whiffs on a key part of the story... motive. Motive and the co-conspirators... us.
The U.S.S. Liberty was a reclassified Victory class ship, I believe attached to a carrier group the 6th Fleet in 1967 prior to the 6 Day War. She was in the Mediterranean Sea and at that time had been converted into a Technical Research Ship (AGTR-5) 'a cover name for National Security Agency (NSA) "spy ships" carrying out signals intelligence missions'
When this statement was made, it was in fact true; Liberty, now assigned to the Sixth Fleet, was in the central Mediterranean Sea, passing between Libya and Crete.[20] It would ultimately steam to about 13 nmi (15 mi; 24 km) north of the Sinai Peninsula.[21]
Ralph Nader says that Liberty was deployed to spy on the conflict off the coast of Africa during the 6 Day War however, that is not entirely true. She was sent there BEFORE Israel launched her attacks. This is an important distinction for what comes next.
Why Are We Deploying Soldiers In Israel with THAAD System? Do You Remember the Liberty?
'President Joe Biden said the THAAD's deployment, along with about 100 U.S. soldiers, was meant to help defend Israel, which is weighing an expected retaliation against Iran after Tehran fired more than 180 missiles at Israel on Oct 1.' Reuters
'When Biden was asked if he knows how and when Israel will attack Iran he said 'yes' and 'yes'' Democracy NOW!
They should ask him if he knows how and when Israel will attack our troops operating THAAD.
