Repeated retaliatory strikes against Iran-backed militias throughout the Middle East is extremely dangerous, a strategy completely at odds with the goal of containing the War in Gaza and keeping it from spreading. 1/3

Why is the US doing this? 85 raids with more on the way is way more than a proportional response to the deaths of three soldiers in a drone attack. 2/3

The last thing we should be doing at a time such as this is pouring gasoline over already existing fires. If the U.S. truly doesn’t want to provoke Iran, we have a weird way of showing it. It is incomprehensible that at this particular moment we would be taunting Iran and risking so much. 3/3

So exactly how do you get Iran and their proxies, who have just killed 3 servicemen/women and continue to target our people to stop, genius? You’re a fool and the statements YOU make are dangerous and misleading. Stop.

Thanks for trying. Biden trying hard to get us into a war so we don’t “change horses in midstream” as George Bush said it in 2004.

Yeah. it's a waste of time. We should be taking out Iran's leadership directly and let that country destabilize so it can't destabilize the other countries. Are you for killing off the Ayatollahs and Quds leaders? Cause that's what it's gonna require. And that's what they need.

1 Yet again you have no idea what you are talking about; “Iran-backed militias”? While US Central Command says the strikes targeted “Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds Force and affiliated militia groups,” the US has already openly admitted that it has no

1 Biden has an alternative to knowingly sacrificing US soldiers' lives and risking a broader regional war: withdraw US forces from Iraq and Syria, and stop supporting Israel's genocide in Gaza.The only “risk” in such a scenario would be to the goals of supremacists in both Israel

You fail to answer to the unprovoked murder of 3 Army soldiers. 3 Americans. Do you believe the US should’ve just threw their hands up and said “oh well”? Do you understand the lever of vulnerability that shows to foreign enemies? That opens the doors for more attacks to US.

I remember how the GOP went behind Pres. Carter’s back to negotiate the hostage’s freedom until after the ‘80 election to get Reagan into office. Stop being a proxy for the GOP…⚓️😎

This is not a mugger who will take your wallet and leave …. It’s a man holding a gun who may very well shoot you in the head when he leaves

That weak womanly emotional response is why you’ll never be president. Biden never should have given that country 6+ billion dollars to start with. Biden’s handlers are playing a game.
