Biden orders strike on Iranian-aligned group after 3 U.S. troops injured in Iraq

Good on Biden for protecting our troops! We cannot let Iran injure US troops and get away with it. Iran tried to poke the bear and this is only a precursor of things to come for countries that dare to escalate.

 

A question to Trumpers; Should Biden have called Iranian-backed militia groups VERY SMART PEOPLE?

 

Just waiting for MAGA to blame Biden for being weak.
Despite all the evidence to the contrary.

 

Humm, ultra MAGAs seem not to like this thread....Joe's trying a balanced response but Vlad is pushing (coordinating with Iran/China IMO) for world chaos with the hopes he can get the 2024 election to swing to his pliable "boy".

 

Good shooting.

 

Did Trump do the right thing when he attacked Iranian forces?

 

I'm a bullseye specialist .

 

TDS. Do you need to bring up Trump in every thread?

 

Care to answer the question??...lol

 

I wasn't referring to you...lol

 

What's to like? We're still in Iraq, somehow and now we're in a proxy war with the Iranians. The adults in the room sure knew how to make the situation worse in a short time.

 

Just providing you some insight

 

Unfortunately dem politicians aren't the adults the uninformed with they were. They got us in alot of war very quickly.

 

I’m not really sure how doing nothing directly to the country responsible for an attack on our soldiers counts as us being tough against it.

But I guess people are willing to mind bend themselves into Gordian Knots to try to make some kind of point…

 

It was an interesting reaction when Trump ordered Soleimani's trip to the the land of 72 virgins... yet, there is utter adoration a few hits against a Iran proxy group?!

Granted, I'm still majorly perplexed to why the US has SO many occupying forces (40K plus) in many, MANY Middle Eastern countries?! Most who emphatically despise us being in their country as an occupying force! We bitch and moan about the occupying Russian forces in Eastern and Southern Ukraine, yet we condone the US occupation of Syria's Northern and Eastern territory.

 

I'm sure Iran will simply react with a loud "DANG IT!" and that will the end of it.. Clearly this administration like all those before them thrive in a world mired in conflict..

War=prosperity

 

As I get older, I'm realizing that the US has been the cause of the majority of the conflicts around the globe... Tens of millions have died at the behest of the US military industrial complex. I'm beginning to wonder who is the actual evil on this planet?!

 

And you'd be right. The U.S. government has lived by "never let a serious crisis go to waste" and they never let a good opertunity to create one go unchallenged

 

The key word here is Iran and the country of Iran is not in Iraq. Biden isn't poking Iran, he's messing with the Iran's tools. Russia is the bear. The US is the Bald Eagle. Iran has Biden on the defensive. A sad day for the world's greatest super power ever!

 

Dying super powers become desperate to maintain their world dominance. America is no different. The elites and the political class are stealing what they can before the end comes.

 

It's a warning signal to Iran. We will see their next move.

I think this protects us much better compared to calling Hezbollah "very smart."

 

Trump was dragged into this in the second post. You guys drag Trump into everything, but that’s different, right?

 

Iran’s proxies have attacked American bases over a hundred times. Very smart people wait until the tough guy is out of office and the weakling moves in.

 

Over 100 attacks on Americans before Biden did anything. May Biden would have reacted faster and with more force if those pesky terrorists misgendered our troops.

 

The U.S. has been going after Iran’s proxies for decades. Nothing new here.
