You must understand this. Iran’s goal is to drive the United States from the Middle East. If they are successful because of Republican isolationists and Democrat cowards, it will open the door to China, Russia, and a war of annihilation against Israel.
In the United States, Iran sees an American president with a long record of running from global Corn Pops.
During Vietnam, Joe Biden became a vocal champion of abandoning Vietnam.
After American Marines were killed in Lebanon, Joe Biden rushed to microphones to demand an American withdrawal.
During the Iraq War, Joe Biden rushed to demand an American withdrawal.
Joe Biden withdrew us from Afghanistan and handed the country back to the Taliban.
Iran knows the odds.
Repeatedly, since October 2023, American forces have come under attack from Iranian agents, and Joe Biden’s response has amounted to slapping the Mullahs with a white glove and a “tut-tut.”
Iran only responds to one thing — disproportionate violence.
Joe Biden is not only not giving Iran that, but he has a record of cowardice, withdrawal, abandonment, and surrender. In Washington, some on the right are screaming about abandoning the Middle East — isolationists who will never acknowledge or admit their retreat from the world stage emboldens our enemies.
They are coupled with an American President who speaks loudly and carries a limp stick.
Three Americans are dead, and more than two dozen are wounded after an Iranian attack on American military personnel in Jordan. Given Biden’s track record, Iran thinks he will tuck and run. The response must be an American fist punching back. That does not necessarily mean directly attacking Iran. But it sure as hell means unleashing hell against the Houthi, Iranian agents, etc.
Joe Biden has a pattern of surrender. The United States cannot afford to.
At this point I cannot even find the right words to describe how I feel about Joe Biden, the Democrats, the Republicans, Trump, go pick it. We are locked in to an endless , mindless, splineless game of name calling, finger pointing, virtue signaling played by politicians and the MSM. 3 marines are dead and in watching the reports on Sunday it quickly broke down into how this will play in the election. There are those salivating that this will make Biden look weak. But, as much as I hate to say it, Biden is our president. This attack makes America look weak. Blame Joe Biden all you want. He deserves it, but he will be president for a least 1 week shy of another year. We will have to live through the blunders of this administration for almost another year, and longer if Trump does not learn self control and shut up. I do not look forward to the remainder of this year. The media will be unwatchable. I am glad for the endless reruns of old shows to watch. Until then I will not care about the politics. I have made up my mind of how I will vote, massive cringe factor here, but I will be concerned about the lives of US soldiers Biden is willing to put in danger as long as he does not have to make a firm decision, take a firm stand, show some backbone , have some sort of resolve that America will not be pushed around in an attempt to salvage a laughable nuclear deal with Iran or sell out the working men and women in the US for John Kerry's climate change agreement. Almost another year of this just sickens me.
“…….speaks loudly and carries a limp stick.” Less see now - what does stick rhyme with? Oh never mind. Erick, sometimes your choice of words is genius!
