Will Biden, Who is Facing Pressure Now, Strike Iran After Our US Troops Were Killed On Sunday?

[Paris13]

WASHINGTON, Jan 29 (Reuters) - The killing of three U. S. troops and wounding of dozens more on Sunday by Iran-backed militants is piling political pressure on President Joe Biden to deal a blow directly against Iran, a move he's been reluctant to do out of fear of igniting a broader war.
Biden's response options could range anywhere from targeting Iranian forces outside to even inside Iran, or opting for a more cautious retaliatory attack solely against the Iran-backed militants responsible, experts say.

**Do you Believe The USA Will Retaliate? xx

[D_Bone_Steak]

I hate Biden... but this question forces me to be devil's advocate. So when I say politically speak, please trust me I'm only speaking politically and I hate Biden with every fiber in the poops a drop in the toilet.

He has to retaliate. The left doesn't like him and the right doesn't like him. Nobody really likes him. They might say they do but... just take my word for it they are embarrassed. Politically speaking... war is all he gots to try and stay in the game. He's not doing it on anything else, like economics, so with that said. I'm pretty much 100% sure he's going to start some shit really soon. It's the voting year and he's showing signs of not wanting to be a 1 term president.

With all that said... I hope Trump wins. No new wars under him. The art of the deal.

[Paris13]

We NEED HIM SOON. xxoo

[worldscolide]

Doubtful, his handlers won't let him

[Paris13]

Nice!!! xx

[DJB72]

Great. World War 3.

Technically if the US is involved in a major conflict he could suspend elections until it's resolved or he dies of dementia. Wouldn't like to guess which would be sooner.

Heck, Jimmy Carter at 90 is more competent than Coma Joe right now if it has to be a member of the current party.

Career politicians rarely have interest in lasting peace. Reagan ended the Cold War and he was hardly a kid when he entered politics. Trump was more interested in talking to traditional "enemies" and understanding their perspective than killing their population. Wonder why that could be? War is bad for all businesses except munitions and armaments. Party be damned. Reagan was a Democrat for years and so was Trump. RFK Jr is probably least likely to start a nuclear war based on his rhetoric and his family history.

Put the old guys out to pasture and get someone who'll listen in.

[Paris13]

Exactly. xx

[DagonbroughtMehere]

"Party be damned"
Took the words out of My mouth, wanna tissue to dry them?

[D_Bone_Steak]

I like your take on it.

[2rushbiOV3]

Regan did not end the Cold War George H W Bush was POTUS when the Cold War ended and it was at the Malta Summit in December 1989 when Mikhail Gorbachev and George H W Bush declared an end to the Cold War. Two weeks earlier, the Berlin wall fell and Bush presented Goff with parts of the wall at the summit a year later, was when the Soviet Union collapsed. In response to your economic theory; the only thing that ended the Great Depression was the build up to WWII because every area of the economy came to life when the defense production act was initiated in the United States. Also Germany barely had an army Adolf Hitler was named chancellor and later proclaimed himself Fuhrer. His public works initiatives were how he rebuilt Germany’s Army Let’s not forget it also brought us the Volkswagen Bug, the Autobahn, electron microscope, synthetic rubber, chromogenic photography. The list goes on, and on all the way to the moon. I mean that quite literally.

What you need to do is look at the damage prior wars are already causing in this country or any country for that matter and ponder what I’m about to say, and know that I am a person well qualified to be saying what I’m going to say that I served in GWOT that once not twice not three times but four times! We only lost roughly 7,000 U. S. servicemen and women in Iraq & Afghanistan COMBINED but over 200,000 of us experienced injuries most of which were blunt force trauma injuries and a shit ton of TBI’s. Do you have any idea how expensive that’s going to get as the years go by? Gives you any idea I’m 47 years old I turn 48 in two days & have been out of the service since 2006 and so far my total cost of medical bills has exceeded $20 million for me, just me! You add another 199,999 thousand people to that list, give it 20 to 25 years and you’ll find out what bankrupts a nation.

[2rushbiOV3]

Take the Soviet Union who fought a war in Afghanistan half as long as we did and were broke as fuck 10 years after ended. They’re gone now; Malta Summit, remember. Being that the United States is not taking care of of its veterans now in the present day our medical bills are gonna be worse as we get older And your old guys out to pasture theory doesn’t work either the problem with our congress besides the idiots who keep voting them in, is the glaring lack of Veterans that make up the overall Congress veterans are far less likely to vote for war than are non-veterans; something about lived experience really affects the way you vote about certain things and a member of congress, who is also a veteran is keenly aware of the fact that the only true way to honor a nations veterans is by not going to war!!! I’ve learn that being middle-aged has nothing to do with my age but everything to do with being stuck between young people and old people neither of whom make a lick of sense and having to referee that shit. Trust me hopefully you’ll be my age one day and know exactly what I’m talking about. Except then I’ll be cray be & relying on you to help me make sense by making sense of the world. This is nothing personal I just don’t wanna see y’all fucked up from war like I am.

[DJB72]

Bush couldn't have done it without the foundation Reagan laid.

As to the Great Depression, the rest of the world started fighting Germany and Japan in 1939 or even 1938 counting the early blitzkrieg invasions in Europe. German economics had recovered as a result of Hitler investing in the Reich's armed forces after the 1936 Olympic Games. He built everything he did as the buildup of the military - roads to let troops move quickly, VW built troop vehicles as a part of their operation. If the 1918 Armistice had been handled better then Hitler couldn't have been elected.

[DJB72]

I had friends in the Allied group in the Gulf and Afghanistan in the Royal Marines, Army and Royal Air Force who were screwed up by what they saw. My Grandfather saw action in North Africa and the Normandy Beaches.

I have respect for the servicemen. Less for the fools who sent them in.

[DARKCLOUD1945X]

I think you are one of the few people that know that they can suspend elections under certain circumstances. I have mentioned that fact to people and have been told I do not know what I am talking about. Now just think if the idiots in Washington knew that they would be working harder than they ever had to suspend elections now for some bullshit reason to stay in power. Your statement is not taught in WOKESCHOOL ALONG WITH NOT TEACHING English, MATH AND READING. Brought to by THE DEMOCRATIC COMMUNIST PARTY OF AMERICA!

[nonyabeez-wax]

He will, because he works for the military industrial complex, and for them, death and war is profitable for them.

If you follow the money, Ukraine has been nothing more than a money laundering scheme. Its the only reason we are involved really.

[Paris13]

Biden is Under the "Dumb Thumb" Of Obama and His Minions. Obama Loves IRAN. lolxx

[nonyabeez-wax]

Thats valid, but moar war. Lol

[YesterdaysChild]

@nonyabeez-wax You mean it is going into Biden and his cronies pockets, as well as Ukrainian oligarchs?

[Surely]

@YesterdaysChild Last night I watched a video clip of Biden explaining where our money was going in Ukraine. He said that it was used in building hospitals, housing, and schools along with other much needed projects. Including PENSIONS for Ukraine peoples!!!

[nonyabeez-wax]

"Pensions" for some very specific Ukrainian people...

[YesterdaysChild]

@Surely And here I thought it was to help win the war, not correct their infrastructure. For Pete's sake, our own infrastructure needs fixing too. Why is money going everywhere except for our own needs?

[DARKCLOUD1945X]

@Surely Hey what about a pension for the illegals in this country first before Ukraine and may be some care for our VETS AND HOMELESS VETS but I think it slipped his mind...

[Surely]

@DARKCLOUD1945X what mind? He is a puppet for Obama.

[Jersey2]

Tye military is drawing up plans now I would think. Iran said it wasn’t them so that tells me they are scared. It was some unknown group but likely goes tock to Iran or it could even be Russia or China hiding behind this to get the US into a war.

He needs to strike though. Wipe out the a-holes who are causing problems in the Suez. Hunt the group that did it down and if possible look for ties to Iran. Put economic penalties on Iran and blockade them for non-essentials or even for everything.

[Jersey2]

The military*

[Paris13]

We Can Only Hope... xx

[OlderAndWiser]

The answer to this question does not depend on logic. Biden is infirm, not ready to go to war, and war would have consequences for the election in November. Biden‘s response will be based on fear. I think he will ask the UN to get involved, which means he will do nothing.

[Paris13]

And Obama and His Minions Too... Sleepy Joe is Just a Silent Puppet. xx

[exitseven]

Doing nothing is, what got him in this jackpot to begin with. If he continues to do nothing he looks weak, if he starts a war he looks like a crazy old man telling the Iranians ymto get off his, lawn. He has painted himself into a corner. The press may have to bail him out. They can blame it on Trump and thr MAGA Republicans

[Avicenna]

This attack is not a single occurrence- Iran has sponsored more attacks than anyone can count for years and little has been done about it.

The Biden Administration is full of Iran stooges who try to find every way they can to hand over money to the world's largest sponsor of terrorism- they are not going to attack Iran or make the mullahs and Revolutionary Guard pay any sort of price.

[Paris13]

Not If Obama Has Anything To Say. xx

[Avicenna]

Obama is a fanboy of the Iranian mullahs, too. As are Biden's other puppeteers.

[DARKCLOUD1945X]

I am waiting for when they slip a NUKE past our security and set it off in N. Y. C. their prize target

[laly520]

we dont need wars or any of this bs that been happening for ages now

people r suffering in the US

president has to work on that not starting shit in other countries that r so far away from us n won't do us any good as a common citizien

[Paris13]

I Do Know If Trump Had been In Office, Nothing Ever Would Have Began. xx

[exitseven]

I think he will use this as a way to create enough chaos so democrats will steal another election. Or maybe if he looks like a tough guy people might vote for him. I gave to wonder what people will think if he re instated the draft because nobody wants to serve in the new woke army. What will they think when their kid comes home in a body bag.

[Paris13]

I Hear You, dear. xx

[BCA6010]

I seriously doubt he has any intention whatsoever of directly striking the country they have been adamantly permitting to develop nuclear weapons and fund terrorism in the middle east. At most, he'll authorize some strikes on camps run by Iranian -backed terrorists.

Keep in mind that this is the same guy who didn't even want Obama authorizing the raid on bin-Laden's compound.

[lungcapacitor]

The president needs to work on OUR country and stop getting involved in so many foreign affairs. We have people here who need help and our government completely looks over them for other countries.

[Paris13]

lol It is Not Slow Joe But Obama and His Minions WHO ARE Behind the Seedy Scenes. xx

[RedInnocent68]

Not how being a superpower works, but okay…

[DARKCLOUD1945X]

@RedInnocent68 Thanks to Sleepy Joe Biden and THE DEMOCRATIC COMMUNIST PARTY OF ANERICA we are no longer a superpower but a fourth rate banana republic. Heading to fifth rate at the speed of light.

[RedInnocent68]

Um, China’s been added because American business began offshoring manufacturing in the 80s, but no one would say the US has been deleted. If anything, there’s a serious debate about whether Russia should be deleted. Although, their resource base and stranglehold on European energy markets probably keeps them in, the latter being a key reason for invading Ukraine. Trumpty dumbties that think the US shouldn’t be concerned by Ukraine are the ones drifting the US from superpower to banana republic and have little to no understanding of global politics.

[DARKCLOUD1945X]

@RedInnocent68 We understand the politics it seems that you do not. Sleepy Joe s policy of AMERICA LAST has started to strike a nerve. People want a secure border North and South to stem the flow of unvetted unvaccinated Illegals from who knows where entering unfettered. Sleepy Joe cares more about everyone's borders except our own that have Chinese. Nationals by the hundreds daily all men military age no family entering U. S. A. Sleepy Joe Has MANDATED that everything [and I don't like Trump as a person] Trump had done to protect our country from all aggressors to a field day against us We Trumpty Dumpties' s want our country taken care of before we take care of the rest of the world. Trump had China under control till Biden took office so don't blame Trump for wgat Sleepy Joe has done.

[RedInnocent68]

Um, how so?

[SpaceGalaxy]

NOT at all! NOT JOE! He is not in the right state of mind! We will never strike Iran regardless who is the President. Iran is way too strong and has too many supporters around the world who are willing to kill themselves for their government/country, Paris.

Go Trump 2024!

[Paris13]

Exactly, @SpaceGalaxy xx

[fuddly]

I don't think so

The Israelis and the US have a history of sneaky drone attacks

So for usa to lose three soldiers especially after Palestinians have suffered 25,000 deaths
Including maybe 8,000 children, i don't think Biden will react to this loss

[Paris13]

Me Neither, He is LOST. lolxx

[fuddly]

💕💕💕

[Joshydavid25]

He pulled the troops out of Afghanistan and that has hurt his approval rating for a while now.. He before be careful with his next move, he can't pull anymore silly trick.. But if people like Hilary and Obama are in his ear... oof..

[Paris13]

I Think He Left Them Behind TOO? xx

[Joshydavid25]

Oh yeah left 13 troops to get killed behind.. And then at their funerals, acted like he had somewhere better to be by checking his watch constantly.. Lmao..

[DARKCLOUD1945X]

All they will see is DAYLIGHT in his ear there is nothing there just like his look alike WALTER, Jeff Dunham's puppet but the puppet is smarter.

[Joshydavid25]

@DARKCLOUD1945X LOL True..

[Dargil]

I think the USA should use Israel to neutralize as much of the Iranian Nuke program as they can. They have the airpower and weapons to do that. Hit them hard.

[Paris13]

Is Israel Prepped For All That? xx

[Dargil]

They have been for years.

[normalice]

I hope not. Iran is obviously trying to provoke us. Trump might have been dumb enough to fall for it but hopefully Biden is not.

[normalice]

Although, to be fair, this probably wouldn't have happened under Trump in the first place as he would have sold the US to iran/russia/China by now..

[Paris13]

Um, You Got That Backwards? lolxx

[normalice]

Nah. The far right fake news likes to push the misinformation that it is the other way around but that's just because they know no one is stupid enough to vote republican based on merit.

[Avicenna]

Lice, you've been exposed to too much radiation...

[normalice]

@Avicenna probably, but still better than being a rage junkie like you.

[Avicenna]

The only thing you're better at than me is being deluded...

[normalice]

@Avicenna sounds like the sort of thing a ragetard would say, sure.

[Avicenna]

It's probably impossible for you to think for yourself anymore but ask for a more creative script.
It would also be better for you if you'd acknowledge what a bunch of totalitarian criminals the Democrats are.

[normalice]

@Avicenna I'm not typing from a script but just saying what I see. If you're bored with me pointing out that you are a ragetard, have you considered stopping being a ragetard? Fixing the problem is always the best way to avoid showing signs of the problem.
Anyway, democrats are just doing their job. It's just that the right has nothing but fake grievance to campaign on so they need you rage junkies as brain damaged as possible so you can't realize it is fake. Seems to be working as planned, sadly..

[Avicenna]

If you only had a brain and a conscience, you'd be embarrassed at the propaganda you post. Time to ask the Democratic Party handler at your homeless shelter for a new script.

[normalice]

@Avicenna but have you considered the possibility that it's just your brain damage making you say that? It would be worth looking into.

[Avicenna]

I guess you're so used to hearing about your radiation-induced brain damage so much that you keep parroting it. But keep making a fool of yourself- it's what Democrats do.

Your homeless shelter should really get you some medical and psychiatric treatment. Untreated mental illness is a huge problem among leftists.

[normalice]

@Avicenna I can't even imagine what conversation you believe you're having in that ragetard brain of your. Well, I mean I probably could if I tried but why would i..

[Avicenna]

You can't understand a thing, Lice. You can't even wash your bald head, much less understand any arguments. You're so far out of reality that you're embarrassing yourself.

Now go worship your deity Joe Biden, who's even more brain damaged than you.

[normalice]

@Avicenna yeah, that is the sort of thing a person whose brain was fried from their rage addiction would say, sure.

[Avicenna]

Lice, you're not well, either physically or mentally. You haven't been capable of rational thought for a long time. All you can do is read a script put together for you by Bolsheviks. It's really sad.

[normalice]

@Avicenna I'm not asking for more proof of the brain damage caused by your rage addiction at this time. You don't have to keep providing it.

[Avicenna]

The more you read your script, Lice, the more you show how sick and deranged you are. Your Bolshevism and your worship of the Biden Crime Administration is the result of your many illnesses.

[normalice]

@Avicenna again, I don't need any addition evidence of your brain damage. I can't help you either way until you decide you want help.

[Avicenna]

Lice, the more you keep deluding yourself the more you embarrass yourself and your fellow Bolsheviks. You are mentally and physically ill.

[normalice]

@Avicenna again, I already know about the brain damage you suffered as a result of your rage addiction. You don't have to keep providing examples.

[Avicenna]

The script isn't working, Lice. You're physically and mentally ill- go get help (the Democrats will never help you- only exploit you).

[normalice]

@Avicenna again, you don't need to do anything else to convince me you need help. It is not an issue of convincing me of your brain damage as it is that I just don't have the time to help you.

[Avicenna]

Lice, you can't do anything for yourself, much less help anyone else, especially someone who doesn't need help.

You're physically and mentally ill, just like your deity Joe Biden and his completely failed administration. You're worthless, so worthless, the Democrats won't give you a new propaganda script.

[normalice]

@Avicenna ah, I forgot your brain damage affects your reading comprehension. I said I DON'T actually need more evidence that you are a ragetard. I'm convinced.

[Avicenna]

That someone as mentally ill and deluded as you is convinced of something insane just confirms you're out of your mind. We've seen insanity from you for years, but you have deteriorated further lately.

[normalice]

@Avicenna I don't know how it's so hard for you to retain information. Even your brain damage doesn't quite explain it. But try to remember: I don't need any more evidence that you are a rage junkie. I'm already convinced.

[Avicenna]

Lice, none of your lunatic ravings could possibly pass as "information" to anyone sane. Everything you're convinced of is delusions and/or far left propaganda.

[normalice]

I really don't get why you can't retain this information, even with your brain damage, I already know you're a ragetard. You don't need to keep dumping your purse at me feet.

[Lynx122]

Maybe stop sending troops to the middle east and they won't get killed.

[Paris13]

I Hear That. xx

[Anonymous]

It's tough to say, but while retaliation has some risks, so does allowing Iran to kill US troops without any consequence. Do we think doing so will make it MORE likely or LESS likely that they try something like that again?

[Paris13]

I am Not TOO COncerned, Let's Put IT That Way. lolxx

[Opinion Owner]

It's best not to be too concerned!

[Filthy_Immigrant]

Don’t be surprised if he does, if that pedophile war monger is not gone after our next election then world war 3 will be bound to start

[Paris13]

Sleep Joe may Not even Know What is UP Today. lolxx

[Filthy_Immigrant]

his supporter are far worst!

this guy is literally destroying our country and they still support him

[OtterMan68]

Trump just the other day lied yet again he brought the troops home from that region.

Biden needs to bring the troops home

[Paris13]

He Needs To Actually Go back Home. lolxx

[Likes2drive]

Maybe diplomatic because like you even said he doesn’t want to start a war with Iran, because bigger problems will happen from other allies

[Paris13]

Hmm, Big Guy. Donald's Exact Doings and Never One Problem. xx

[Likes2drive]

Yeah hopefully things don’t escalate and Donald gets in

[jamesgoldman]

Yeah because ww3 just like WW2 was for FDR is a great way to call off an election

We really don't want to start a World War which is possible if we react in the wrong way.

[Paris13]

Not Seeing Anything with Anything Anyway, With Slow Joe. lolxx

[Twalli]

A war that we engage in physically there is close to starting a World War, Biden needs to find out how to stop a World War and punish Iran. He's already publicly said they're to blame.

[Jerre]

Biden doesn’t have the balls to attack Iran. Any attacks will be against the terrorists.

[Paris13]

Right Spot On, @jerre lol No Balls Like You. xx

[Jerre]

Hey, I’ve got two big balls

[Pterodon]

Highly doubtful. He’s always been a pussy when it comes to Iran

[Paris13]

Exactlyyyy. Like Obama, His Leader. xx

[Anonymous]

Three US soldiers were killed for being where they shouldn't have been. Collateral damage.

[Paris13]

Oh? xx

[Opinion Owner]

" Multiple outlets have reported that the drone managed to sneak past defenses by shadowing a returning U. S. UAV, which led to confusion over whether the attack drone was friendly or not.

Singh would not directly confirm those reports but did say U. S. Central Command is investigating. She said the Jordan attack did differ from previous attacks due to where the drone detonated, and that the base was not any less protected compared to others in the region."

[jshm2]

He isn't facing pressure, as it's STILL not categorically known who supplied, let alone fired that drone.

The easy answer of "Iran" is just not cutting it as there are many groups in the region who hate the US occupation.

[Cheerfull009]

USA will never retaliate because China & Russia are with Iran

[Paris13]

And JOE. lolxx

[love_conquers_lust]

I don’t know. Those idiots don’t seem to know how to learn. Stop blowing up US infrastructure and stop attacking US bases trying to protect said infrastructure, end of discussion.
