The military action is a significant escalation in Washington’s bid to deter the growing threat from Iran-backed groups across the Middle East.

    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?

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

          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.

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