When will brandon order a massive retaliation to stop this crap??


These Iranian backed aholes have killed and injured way to many Americans not to fight back


I think that brandon is afraid of his own shadow, has no clue what's going on in the world and is happy in his dotage having obuma pull his puppet strings.


Meanwhile AMERICANS are dying

But putting that aside, I’m very disappointed with the diplomacy ever since Biden took charge. Actually, I’m not really sure whose diplomacy it is, perhaps Blinken making unilateral decisions?

Ukraine could’ve been handled better, and assuming that Hamas struck Israel because of Israeli-Saudi relations, that would be another misstep.

Also, Iran and their proxies only respond to one thing. Strength, not appeasement.

But to sum up, the “adults in charge” have done a very poor job and the entire world is at a flashpoint.
Agree with everything here, but the bolded line. Define this flashpoint? I keep hearing it but I'm not seeing it. Are Arab troops amassing or even preparing to engage Israel over the war in the Gaza Strip. We can go back 20 years to see Shia and Sunni militants doing everything they could to spark a war within Islam. Is China making provocative moves over Taiwan or the South China Sea, at least any more than they have been doing for years. Russia is completely bogged down and has shown itself to barely be a regional power, far from a global threat. North Korea is barely making any waves. Outside of Venezuela, South and Central America are fairly calm. India and Pakistan are pretty much in the same state they have been in regards to each other as always. Where is the flashpoint that risk setting the world ablaze?

Why is this not a Sticky?

3 Soldiers were killed under our current president, AFTER there were 180+ attacks.

Again, it appears that 3 vs. 180 seems to be acceptable.

Don't these soldiers guard Syrian oil fields while Chevron and Shell steal Syrian oil tremendously enriching themselves?

Israel has drawn us into this mess and I don't want to see this expanding, are you volunteering. This is not some silly board game, they are putting American lives at risk in the Red Sea, Syria and Iraq. There are bound to be US casualties with us in the middle of this conflict.

Exactly as said 2 posts before - Israel put us into this situation. They are powerful to handle this down business now. We don't need to be supporting Israel non-stop across the world. Eventually, it will come onto American land.

Israel cannot draw the USA into this mess without US involvement. Let's face it, if the USA wanted the war in Gaza over, it would be over tomorrow. Israel cannot conduct that war with US bombs and funds. It simply does not have the economy to support that kind of bombardment.

So, for whatever reason, the USA is supporting Israel in Gaza, and increasing tensions by bombing Iranian proxies throughout the region and even assassinating prominent Iranians and ordering US backed groups to conduct a terrorist attack in Iran.

Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, the Houthis, the terror gangs that control Iraq..........these are all only the tentacles of the octopus. Cutting off a tentacle will not kill the octopus. Its head must be cut off.

From day one, the Biden administration has done the complete opposite. It has weakened sanctions, giving the mullahs tens of billion$. It created a fungible account of $6B which is now only temporarily suspended. It has failed to effectively respond to over 140 Iranian attacks on US forces. It removed the terrorist designation from the clearly terrorist Houthis. All of this was done with the goal of going into a craven, Chamberlainist nuclear deal.

The only way to stop the mullahs is to turn US policy around. The regime doesn't care about damage to its proxies. Until costs are imposed on the Iranian regime DIRECTLY, the attacks will not stop. Start with hitting Iranian military or economic targets which will hurt the regime. Then follow up long term by STRICTLY enforcing the sanctions, and even better and more certain: blockade Iranian shipping at the tip of the gulf.

If US policy is not turned around then we will continue to see Iranian hegemony of the region and unending war.

Ask the question...did we do anything to provoke it ?
Then the question...how come no one knew the drones were coming ?

Government technology is always one step ahead of what the public has.

We also had 2 Navy Seals jump overboard and disappear off Somalia.
No one asked...why are Navy Seals, an elite military group, in Somalia ?
