You can have a tiger cub for a pet, but eventually the thing is going to attack you. Taking the sanctions off is just plain stupid.

I truly don’t understand how anybody could defend the disaster of Biden and Harris’ Middle East policy. They buy into sophomoric west wing high minded bullshit and get shocked when that’s not how the real world works

So we are at war with Iran now? I thought Kameltoes said we didn't have any troops in harms way?

*she lied*

Not sure if she was even aware of the troops we had lost in CENTCOM this past year. You would think those would ring a bell before saying we didn't have troops in harms way

We are at war?
It appears so.

Jordan allowed U.S. to operate in its airspace to shoot down missiles​

Andrea Mitchell and Courtney Kube
Jordan allowed U.S. forces to fly and shoot down Iranian missiles within the Arab country's airspace, a U.S. official and a senior Jordanian official told NBC News.
The Jordanian official confirmed the news and added that Jordan would do the same for "any other missile flying over our airspace."
Biden earlier directed the U.S. military to aid Israel in defending against the missile attack.

Russia invading Ukraine again
Iran attacking Israel outright
Iran attacks in Iraq and Syria
The conflict in Gaza between Hamas and Israel
Counterterrorism operations in Africa and elsewhere

There's always conflicts under a US President, but it's particularly bad right now after we had relative peace. Said it before, nobody fears Biden.

This was published TODAY by Biden and Harris' Sec State, Blinken.

"We were similarly clear-eyed when it came to Iran and North Korea. We increased diplomatic pressure and strengthened the U.S. military’s force posture to deter and constrain Tehran and Pyongyang."

I'm sure Tehran feels very deterred right now

Iran attacked an Israeli Nuclear reactor.

I expect the response to be pretty brutal.
It should be devastating. These asshats deserve it. Given the intel on pagers, they probably have a good plan.

Doing the Iran attack on Jimmy Carters birthday was a solid coincidence.

From CNN

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government on Monday launched the next stage of its onslaught against Hezbollah with what the Israel Defense Forces called a “limited ground operation” into Lebanon — despite weeks of requests from Washington for restraint and familiar (and spurned) calls for de-escalation.


This came just hours after President Joe Biden said “we should have a ceasefire now,” when asked what he knew about Israeli special forces’ previous raids into southern Lebanon. “I’m comfortable with them stopping,” the president said.

This is not just a diplomatic embarrassment. Any time an American president is publicly spurned, there is a cost to their personal prestige and perceptions of US global power. And the likelihood is growing that Biden, who came to office professing to be a foreign policy expert, will leave the White House in a few months with a raging Middle East war set to stain his legacy.

So this hostility that has been going on for thousands of years is suddenly Bidens fault? I'm not a Biden fan but some of you guys have issues with how much you hate him

It's pretty simple. Biden opened up the cash flow to Iran and enabled the violence we are seeing in Israel and the Red Sea today. This didn't happen under Trump.
