STOP INITIATING NEW CONFLICTS.

WITHDRAW TROOPS FROM CONFLICTED REGIONS.

ENGAGE IN DIPLOMACY.

DON'T CREATE WWIII.

Fuck, I hate this man more every passing day.

DO NOTHING AFTER YOUR PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MURDERED.

CAVE TO DICTATORSHIPS IMMEDIATELY.

KOWTOW IMMEDIATELY WHEN CONFLICT ARRISES.

Fuck, my distaste for the average person grows every passing day.

Nice job carrying Iranian water

What does that even mean?

Iran backed resistance fighters attacked American troops in Iran's backyard.

Answer: Get the fuck out of Iran's backyard. Stop stirring the pot. Take the troops out of reach of the resistance fighters and apply those billions of wasted dollars to the betterment of American lives, not to the taking of non-American lives.

Why does Iran get to dictate what happens in its "backyard" when its "backyard" Is not in Iranian sovereign territory?

You know who said Americans could be there? The government of Jordan. The country in which they were killed. Why doesn't Jordan get to decide who it allows in its own borders?

Also, how the fuck is Jordan in Iran's backyard?

Why does America get to dictate anything half the world away?

Who are they dictating to? Are you saying they are forcing Jordan to allow them there and Iran is liberating Jordan?

Because their friends and allies asked for their help.

Sounds like world war posturing. Sounds like America being the world police.

Doesn't sound like something America should be doing.

Edit: and to Sep-tuple down on that, when does an American drone bomb Russian attack forces?

That is something we should be doing.

Instead we are sending them money for Temu drones and telling them to rig frag grenades to them.

America's policy of "bomb brown people" needs to END. And it is fucking disgusting that Democrats are currently advancing that agenda.

Instead we are sending them money for Temu drones and telling them to rig frag grenades to them.

The USA is sending Abrams main battle tanks, Bradley AFVs, HIMARS systems, and F16s. Their hardware is killing Russians daily.

Carring water means delivering Iran's message. Yours is word for word what they want.

It's not Iran's backyard. Resistance to what? Iran is in other countries practicing asymmetrical warfare and the first thing you do is cry when somebody shoots back.

lmao It's not up to Iran. That's like justifying Russia's invasion of Ukraine by claiming it to be "their" sphere of influence. Calling other countries someone's "backyard" is basically saying that those countries have to sovereignty.

this is exactly the kind of moaning i want to hear out of my enemies, keep it up Joe

I personally wish he'd attacked targets in Iran directly but it seems he still hit a nerve.

Too many neocons on here think the US owns the world and should be able to do as it pleases. Also, IRAN BAD (which is a conclusion they arrived at independently and not because western media drilled it into their head, of course).

America should be able to assist its friends and allies, in this case Jordan.

If Iran interferes with our assistance, then by definition they are our adversaries.
