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

but these strikes are "deescalatory" - that means the more we bomb the less we provoke a response. our bombs create peace, only other people's bomb create war.

You'd do well to remember the words "walk softly but carry a big stick." We are not afraid to use the big stick, a lesson you think would be learned by now. We aren't North Korea, we don't make idle threats about what we'll do if attacked.

Joe Biden wants to incite World War 3. Right now, he's on the verge of doing it in Ukraine, Taiwan, and now Israel. He wants to see the whole thing burn. He's a genocidal psychopath. He is the very worst person we could ever have as a President.

Provoke Iran?! You have this backwards you idi0t. They’re provoking us! We’re the United States of America. You hit us….we level you to the ground. Period. You’re a disgusting human being and a traitor. Take the next flight to the Middle East and stay there.

If you didn’t know that Joe Biden was a warmonger based on his 50 years in politics, then I question your judgement. You endorsed him over Trump who isn’t a warmonger and you’ll do it again.
