The White House released the following statement:
“Today, America’s heart is heavy. Last night, three U.S. service members were killed—and many wounded—during an unmanned aerial drone attack on our forces stationed in northeast Jordan near the Syria border. While we are still gathering the facts of this attack, we know it was carried out by radical Iran-backed militant groups operating in Syria and Iraq.” (LINK)
A few more details are starting to emerge including the number of “many wounded.” According to recent media reports 25 were wounded along with the 3 killed.
Yahoo – “Biden said the United States “will hold all those responsible to account at a time and in a manner our choosing.”
There was no immediate reaction from Jordan, a kingdom bordering Iraq, Israel, the Palestinian territory of the West Bank, Saudi Arabia and Syria.
U.S. troops long have used Jordan as a basing point, and the attack took place in northeast Jordan near the Syrian border. U.S. Central Command said 25 service members were injured the attack in addition to the three killed.
Some 3,000 American troops typically are stationed in Jordan.
Jordanian state television quoted Muhannad Mubaidin, a government spokesman, as insisting the attack happened outside of the kingdom across the border in Syria. The conflicting information could not be immediately reconciled.” (more)
I guess we are not supposed to remember this earlier announcement from three months ago:
…”I have also activated the deployment of a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery as well as additional Patriot battalions to locations throughout the region to increase force protection for U.S. forces.”… (link)
Apparently, there are drones capable of outwitting the THAAD defense system, or something.
Monroe Doctrine, nuff said.
Spend the money on having weaponry and deployment capability that will scare the hell out of everyone.
Stop meddling, which requires the forward deployed status.
Monroe Doctrine applies only to the Americas. And it only protects countries in the Americas from attacks by countries trying to colonize the countries.
A forward deployment of our full strength along our northern and southern borders for a period of time would sure act as a check on the impending ‘colonization’ of the US “Homeland”!
I believe HooVol is thinking Teddy R. and not Monroe.
Speak softly but carry a big stick.
Was combining them. Stay home but be deadly enough that diplomacy still matters.
Patriot battalions tells we have to know. They have noooo clue 😎
What..sorry
If you understood Muslims and Islam, you would know that a threat or the likelihood of dying because of their actions is completely meaningless.
They say so, and often act so, but the humanity within that survives the twistings of Islam quite often enjoys a genuinely sane peaceful prosperous life, and no one understands how to appeal to that like President Trump.
Part of that process involves ensuring they experience devastation in a fashion that they enjoy much less then their fantasies prophesied they would.
Remember how PDJT began his stewardship of the Afghanistan debacle with a widely publicized MOAB?
Good Times.
The distorted thoughts of Muhammad were to take over Countries by force, kill or enlist their men, rape the women to create a new army in the future convinced that everyone is born Muslim and you can’t change. Circular Ideology.
That’s only true in talk. In the real world it matters at the individual level.
Total nonsense……………………
Tell me military master.
So very sad and unnecessary.
I wonder if Cindy Sheehan and the Code Pink dancers are douching right this very minute before heading to DC to protest and ask FJB to bring our boys home…?
How would you like to have a loved-one die in an unjust war, based on lies? That is what happened to Cindy Sheehan. At least she had to guts to confront Bush.
That is the point !!!
The pink loon only shows her “guts” to Republicans – never demonRATS … far more American Military died during the Muslim’s 8 years of destruction – and zero Cindy guts … where was Cindy when Biden allowed a terrorists to MURDER 13 Americans and injure dozens more as he abandoned Afghanistan ??!
Cindy uses her dead son like Biden uses his – when it fits a RAT talking point – or a lie.
👊
Cat … speaking of those political theatre actresses … I live in a town where a couple of extremist leftists decided to create a “Memorial” to protest George Bush’s wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It’s on an undevelopable piece of land … essentially a freeway cut at the BART station … virtually covered in crappy looking scrap wood crosses.
https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2012/11/12/18725536.php
Of course this display violates all city zoning ordinances and is an eyesore … but our feckless, leftist, city council just made-up a justification to allow it to persist. I’ve been to Arlington Cemetery … and this is NO Arlignton. And what’s really gonna bake your noodle, is that not a single cross was added during Obama’s 8-years in office … despite the fact we lost more soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan in Obama’s years than we did during Bush’s years. It’s not a respectful Memorial … it’s leftist political theatre display aimed at “Republican War dead”.
Bart Station reminder every day
BART- crime riddled breathing on deficit fumes. Put a few crossed up for the death of the entire rBay Area. Where did it go so wrong, so fast?
Still looks better than a huge mug of George Floyd that got plastered as a mural on a downtown wall. That previously had very strict sign control. No longer – PC trumps community aesthetics.
Let’s all praise a thug’s drug overdose ,and a sham trial for the police officer trying to render aid.
Wasn’t there a mural that got struck by lightning?
Hilary Clinton supported the Iraq War. So did virtually all Democrats .How did that become a “Republican War”?
Democrats make bank when they boost defense industry spending on defense industry union members.
Armed Services enlistment is down? No one wants to volunteer as a sitting duck so the shit stains in D.C. can pad their defense contractors stock portfolio. Way past cold anger.
Exactly. Who wants to be a blood sacrifice for the likes of Black Rock etal and the pols they have in their pockets.
What I don’t get is why the soldiers were grouped together in tents out in the open with no protection in an era of drone warfare?
“According to recent media reports”
And then you said Yahoo!
I get it
Get set for more warring from the war mongers. Joe, and the Zionist Jews that run this country, are living in an alternate universe. US troops stationed in Syria are there to primarily protect the Conoco Oil facilities from “terrorists”. We have absolutely no valid reason to station troops in a country that does not want us in there! None! Would we tolerate the Mexican military in Louisiana??
Many of these people in the Middle East are just tired of being bullied. They have understood the need to upgrade their military defense and offense capabilities. And they have done this. Incredibly, the small country of Yemen is holding off the entire US 5th fleet and their British lackeys. A close review of independent new sources has documented Yemen missile effectiveness; and this with out of date missiles. The passage through the Gulf of Aden is still closed!!
These recent attacks in Syria, using drone warfare, is something the US is NOT prepared for. The war in Ukraine has changed the entire nature of modern warfare. Additionally, as Doug Macgregor has said, “There are two types of Naval ships, targets and submarines”. The Russians have developed Iskander and Kinzhal hyper-sonic missiles which have proven very effective. I don’t believe the US has an equal or a effective defense against these at this time. Hello!!
I believe Joe and his compatriots, including many Americans, think they and their lackeys in the UK and EU will defeat Russia in a direct military confrontation. It’s sheer lunacy. The people in Washington are CRAZY! Ole Dementia Joe has been convinced that he is going to be the great war time President the US will revere. Sadly and horribly, prepare for more Americans to die. God only knows how many have already been killed in Ukraine….
“I can talk about these things for quite awhile. I spent a vast majority of my twenties and some of my thirties in Iraq dealing with these issues.
“We’re funding the entire thing, we’re on every single side of this… whether partnering with Chalabi, training the Iraqi army, supporting Shia militias against ISIS, retraining, rearming…
“Hubris, malice, incompetence. It’s very hard to say which one at any given time with this leadership. We have a wide open border, a daily tragedy.”

TJ: I was in the Navy during the VietNam war. I did NOT go to Vietnam. I recall I was at Alameda NAS one day and watched the off loading of black caskets of some of those young men who lost their lives. I knew immediately how very lucky I had been…
My brother, a pilot in the Air Force flew 251 missions in Vietnam and surrounding areas while there. He was highly pissed off at Johnson and McNamara. A full colonel and hated the very ground they walked on. It’s the same old shit today. It might even be worse because Joe Biden is mentally unstable and easily manipulated by his “advisors”; blatant war mongers.
The politics are obviously beyond ugly, but I find it amazing how many Americans support this insanity. If this keeps up they are in for one hell of a wake-up call….
Thank you Sir for your service!
We have illegitimate, stool characters for our country’s leadership.
Weak men send other to war, as they could not serve another ideal except their ego.
They desrrve the rope.
Biden – Obama – LBJ — the very worst US Presidents since in the past century and turn of the century.
LBJ exploited US service men just to prove to Republicans he was not “soft on communism”. A horrible man with no conscience. Lying, killing and maiming young men for his own political gain.
I 100% agree. LBJ was the most disgusting human being to ever serve as president.
I think you give the worthless bastard too much credit….
Ahmed Chalabi – the CIA darling who goosed all of America. So glad he finally met this maker, or rather the taker of his wretched soul.

So…we are to believe that particular army base was not protected by THAADs, Patriot missiles, Hawk missiles or a C-RAM (20 mm anti-aircraft gatling gun). The C-RAM can shoot down mortar shells.
And the attack was from Iranian-backed Syrian rebels using drones.
Sorry, I don’t buy it.
and
C-RAM don’t work worth a hoot, especially against mortars. They were marginal against the 107mm rockets the TB hit us with every night. Mortars are the worst, nothing seems to touch them, you just wait to see if you will live or not. In Syria, there’s very little AA support of any type. It’s all too darn big to bring to the little COPs and MSSs where we’d launch from. The vaunted Patriots are stretched thin in support of Israel and Ukraine, while also remaining in Saudi and many other locations. I think the question is why are we even there in Jordan? Why remain in Iraq? Why did Biden order US troops back into Syria after 45 removed them?
The plan was always to leave troops in Iraq…just like we’ve had troops (for decades) in UAE, Qatar and Kuwait, as well as the Navy base in Bahrain.
And rebel-flown Iranian-made drones should not be a problem for a C-RAM.
Obviously, they were killed in Syria. Biden just doesn’t want you to know that!
Why are American soldiers in Syria when Syria has it’s own government and military which doesn’t want us there?
Because … because … The Arab Spring, or something
We learned nothing in Ukraine but narrative, our defense systems lag and are defeatable. This is about to get much worse, DC is about to implode.
You can easily defeat Patriot by sending more missiles than the battery has to shoot. Russia has been doing it for years.
Every time you fire it your children assume another 1-6 million in debt.
You happy yet, Joe and Jill?
Or do we need to spill more American blood and squander more American treasure, in pursuit of your buddies’ profits and your family’s sinecure.
Biden is brewing more anti-USA hate and future terrorists, all the while he keeps the border open. But its all MAGA’s fault.

Iran killed American troops in Syria? He’s all for it. Obama will protect Iran
Iran-backed is silly terminology. It is the US who is backing everything and everybody in the middle east. Stirring up one side or another as seems to be more profitable for the multinational corporations and banks……oil and military equipment.
Agreed.
In the last three years, Obama has tithed $60 Billion to Iran. If they share it with other terrorists, it is still “Obama-backed.”

Biden, DOD and the Army Are Not Protecting US Soldiers from Air AttacksThe loss of 3 Soldiers near the Syrian Border, and 25 or more wounded, demonstrates a massive, but avoidable, failure
Anyone who has watched the more than 150+ attacks on US bases in the Middle East, and missiles, rockets and drones fired at our warships, can only come to one conclusion: the Army, the Pentagon and Joe Biden and his administration are responsible for the latest deadly attack by a drone that killed three US soldiers and wounded another 25.
How did this come about?…
It seems to me one could make the case that refusing to protect our troops is the worst thing any Secretary of Defense could possibly do. Ditto for Biden.
First recommendation, rush two Iron Dome systems from the US to the most at risk bases now!
Second recommendation, fire those army procurement people who blocked sending Iron Dome to Iraq and Syria.
Third recommendation, stop sending NASAMS and other air defenses to Ukraine and give the systems to our soldiers.
Fourth recommendation, consider closing down bases we cannot defend.
Unfortunately, things have been allowed to deteriorate to where we are now because of bad decision making, a lack of will, and a failure to go after the source of the problem, namely Iran. There are steps we can take to punish Iran, but all Biden does is hands them billions of dollars and looks the other way.
Enough.
Most of the US presence in the region is illegal. We don’t need any protection at all if we weren’t there.
Vampires
I’m down on my knees praying that whoever is in that Biden role is being instructed to flat out refuse to kick off an attack on Iran. Let the demons howl in frustration.
Iran is scared as hell now, pleading that they had nothing to do with it.
Therefore, time to crush the She’ite regime in Iran, and set the Persians free [from a distance, with “shock and awe”].
It’s all Bubba Bait. “Look at me, I’m tough!”

There’s absolutely ZERO reason for American troops to lose limbs or die for Israel.
Lives squandered away for nothing.
Our border is under attack and they send our men to die to protect a foreign country’s border.
Blood is just as much on your hands Mike Johnson- as it is on Biden’s.
No More War’s For Israel!
So, the only reason to fight Iran is to bomb their nuclear facilities. I don’t think Biden is up to it.
We built those facilities.
Joe gonna check his watch when they are offloaded from the plane?
another possible cause of this incident.
— Israel bombed the US base to knee-cap the US and false flag them into more support in the Mideast (and to go after Iran which Israel wants). Since lately the US was telling Israel to back-off. And Israel does not want to back off. Nowhere do they say where the drones came from or offer any proof about the nature and kinds of drones used. In Ukraine we see UAV verification all the time. Not here. Why? Maybe Israel did it !
So Israel attacked the US base to blame it on others. Just like the US took out the pipeline to knee-cap Germany and blamed Russia.
as likely as any other scenario, agreed.
Just FYI, the entire IDF general staff is under US military control at this time, and it doesn’t look likely that whoever’s playing the late Gen. Monkeypox Austin would conspire against the notorious halfrican moslem sodomite’s dreams of his father…
Seeker,
I read an Iranian terrorist group took direct responsibility for the attack.
Soon after our feckless response on an evacuated target, we will be paid back with a terrorist strike on our soil courtesy of President Peters open border.
☝️☝️☝️☝️
There is a very easy solution to this. Remove US troops from all around the middle east. We have no business being there.
There is nothing that a small force like this can do to stop anything happening. They are protecting nothing. They are doing nothing but inciting attacks on them because their presence is illegal and violates the sovereignty of the countries in which they are located.
President Trump was trying to remove US troops.
+1,000,000
That is why Trump had to be removed.
The forever war Neocons want to bomb Tehran. No one wants to sign up for that.
Margret Brennan is the making the case this was done by rogue proxys and Iran should not be attacked. It was sickening propaganda and I pray for this country we have citizens like her and CBS news .
What do you mean?
What do you mean, what do you mean? Makes sense to me. Read it a bit more slowly, then really, really think about it.
I wonder whether Xi is telling Biden, “Do not respond to these Iranian attacks. As you well know, we have many PLA assets in the USA who simply walked over your southern border. These assets will be activated if you respond and they will devastate your country.”
i doubt he is saying ANYTHING.
if you are him or Putin, just let the former republic of the US go insane – step out of the way and let it happen. they all know we are on our last leg.
President Trump Truth 🔗
But, but, but … PDJT … Jake Sullivan insisted those funds were frozen in some bank somewhere … and would only be used for … humanitarian … purposes … because “diplomacy” or something
As to which base got hit, believe the US and it was Tower 22 in Jordan, believe Jordan and it was al-Tanf in Syria, believe the Iraqi Islamic Resistance IIR who claim to have done it and it is al-Rukban in Syria. No doubt it will become clearer as time passes.
What is clear is that, given they are in Syria illegally, the US is determined not to mention the word Syria in connection with it. Also, whilst this could be a reason why the US does not want to site its latest SAM systems there attack drones are proving very difficult to stop, as shown by those with the best experience and anti drone products, the Ukrainian and Russian armies.
Also clear, with a claimed 9 attacks just today, is that the IIR have got the bit between their teeth and are determined not to let the Houtis get all the kudos in defending Palestinians.
The US military is in for a very difficult time as, almost regardless of what revenge attacks will now happen, this is a very distributed and only loosely organised enemy that they are facing. A bit like a guerrilla war.
Chicken wire will stop them.
yup – the fascist warmongers realize the entire world is going to be that much more pissed if we are responding based on an attack on illegal occupiers.
To those who are calling for the US to bomb Iran, do any of you realize that Iran just signed a mutual defense treaty with Russia? Any US attack on Iran will be answered by Iran AND Russia.
The State Department and Pentagon are well aware of those facts.
JAN 28 2024 – NYT –
Biden Vows to Retaliate After Strike in Jordan Kills American Soldiers
[…]Administration officials and intelligence agencies were trying to determine Sunday if the attack in Jordan represented a deliberate attempt by Iran to escalate the conflict or was meant to be the same kind of limited attack its proxies have been mounting but in this case happened to be more successful through happenstance.
American officials have said for months that they did not believe Iran wanted a direct war with the United States and on Sunday had not changed that assessment publicly. But at the same time, officials said, Iran has used its proxy forces to keep up the pressure on the United States and Israel as Israel continues to pound Hamas in Gaza.
[…]While a wider conflict could serve Iran’s purposes, American officials have long thought that Tehran understood that a direct war with the United States would be deeply damaging. The Jordan attack came at a time when some American officials had been exploring the idea that Iran might be on the verge of trying to rein in some of its proxy forces, a theory that may be dashed by Sunday’s attack.
[…]Mr. Biden was informed about the attack in Jordan on Sunday morning in South Carolina, where he was spending the weekend campaigning before its Democratic primary. Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III spoke with the president, along with Jake Sullivan, the national security adviser, and his deputy, Jon Finer.
Later in the day, Mr. Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris joined a secure virtual discussion with Mr. Austin, Mr. Sullivan, Mr. Finer and other advisers, including Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken; Gen. Charles Q. Brown, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; and Avril D. Haines, the director of national intelligence.

Liar, liar, pants on fire. The US attacks on the Houthis has not done anything to stop them or stop their motivation to continue the attacks.
He says, “The U.S. is not looking for war with Iran”. But then he intimates that we do intend to incite a war with Iran, “but if there is a broader conflict with Iran, we will respond.” In other words, we want a war with Iran, but we are pretending we don’t – pretending to the American people that we really are the good guys.
We have no business in the middle east. We don’t have enough troops or equipment to protect even the soldiers that we do have there.
Great … our FIRST woke-affirmative action War. This will end as well as a Harvard Presidency
Lloid lost weight 😂
Now do Africa …
I pray for the recovery of the 25-34 or however many servicemen who are injured, I pray that their injuries are minor and temporary.
I pray for peace for the families of those servicemen who are lost to have peace; it must hurt even more than usual – if that’s possible – to know that your loved one died unnecessarily, in a place we didn’t have a good reason to be, for a regime which doesn’t care at all and which won’t treat the bereaved with even a modicum of respect.
I pray that wiser heads will soon prevail across our nation.
Rest in peace to the lost Americans.
Amen.
Only a fool would allow his children to join the military under the corrupt leadership of this country.

It still is and will always be.
The soldiers that enlisted are nothing more than cannon fodder for the politicians to become wealthy.
13 soldiers died as Joe Biden and the corrupt leadership of the military was giving the Taliban an 80 billion dollar gift of weapons and supplies.
Do you think they cared one bit?
Why do you think all the politicians have stocks in the companies that make bombs and weapons?
They purposely start wars to enrich themselves and everyone that dies in the process is simply “collateral damage.”

There are two potential wars here. The one the neocons are screaming for US against Iran. The other is the one Netanyahu wants against Hezbollah, the cynics would say to save his skin.
Netanyahu has a big problem, when he loses power then he is likely to find himself in jail due to bribery cases that are in abeyance. He really needs a war.
Anyone notice that the Israeli Army is moving out of Gaza and relocating to the north?
But he also knows that following its mauling in Gaza and their defeat in Lebanon in 2006 his military face a very difficult situation. Compounded by the stocks of rockets and missiles, estimated at 50,000+, built up over the past 15 years by Hezbollah. He has to pull in the US on his side, in an attempt to level the odds, share the deaths.
We wait to see what happens but it isn’t going to be peace.
Why do we have.service people there?
Yes, probably well over 1000 scattered across Syria. Most of them protecting the US operation stealing oil and shipping it into Iraq, sorry I meant to say protecting the World from ISIS operation..
The oil goes by tank truck convoys into Israel from Syria, according to sources I’ve read.
No, to do that they would have to drive all the way across the Syrian Government part of Syria.
The trucks exit Syria under US military guard up in the far NE corner into Iraq, the oil enters the Turkish pipeline system to the Mediterranean from which it is shipped by sea to Israel. Stolen grain exits at the same place too.
Probably to protect Israel
Latest report is at least 34 wounded.

120 such attacks since the middle of October.

The drone attack on a U.S. Military Installation in Jordan, killing 3 American Servicemembers, and wounding many more, marks a horrible day for America. My most profound sympathies go to the Families of the Brave Servicemembers we have lost. I ask all Americans to join me in praying for those who have been wounded. This brazen attack on the United States is yet another horrific and tragic consequence of Joe Biden’s weakness and surrender….
For many decades we have been told of the necessity of fighting them “over there” so we won’t have to fight them here.
Now we see us fighting them over there to no victory, only to find our borders open and those same enemies welcomed here… and subsidized.
IMO we are only weeks away from fighting them here, too.
US Servicemen are dangling from a fishing hook. The rod is held by the deep state. The deep state are big game fishing for the elusive, but highly prized, big war.
the area attacked was a perimeter area near the largest illegal US Syrian base. Base is illegally located inside Syria and has long supplied ISIS terrorists in a quite public manner aided by press control and wide censorship.
Note that Tehran and pro-Iranian organizations have not yet taken responsibility for the attacks. This seems strange, since they often signal this very quickly. Moreover, some Arab sources suspect that the attack is a provocation by Israel or Great Britain, carried out specifically so that the United States will attack Iran.
And the war hawks were indeed triggered and all came out today to say “attack Iran”
PS. The US would lose a war against Iran and be humiliated for decades.
I would not be surprised if this turned out to be a false flag event.
Attack claimed by the Iraqi Islamic Resistance group.
First … Obama Droned Americans in the ME … now his Partners in Iran are doing it. Seems as though Iran has reverse engineered all those goodies Biden left for them in Afghanistan. Rather successfully.
Don’t downplay Iranian engineering and R&D skills. Most of this missile and drone design is their IP. They even licensed some of it to Russia.
Because of dimwits like the Obama-Biden “team”, the USA has not won a war since August, 1945.
Sure seems like the global military is out in full force(except those dead or injured by the vax bioweapon):

The Dark Side Of Col. Douglas Macgregor, Tucker’s ‘Go-To’ Military Expert
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2024/01/the_dark_side_of_col_douglas_macgregor_tuckers_goto_military_expert.html
“Over the past two years, Colonel Douglas Macgregor has become Tucker Carlson’s “go-to guy” on foreign policy and military matters. Yet, there is reason to question whether Carlson should be giving Macgregor a bully pulpit. That’s because, during a recent Cyrus Janssen podcast that saw Macgregor offer insights into the current Middle East conflict, he revealed that he traffics in the worst kind of antisemitic tropes and stereotypes. Macgregor’s theme was that Washington is now controlled by Israel, with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu calling the shots.”
“Then, during the interview, Macgregor asserted that Israel has exaggerated the fatality count (October 7, 2023) and the horrors included in these attacks. He further stated that there were a significant number of friendly fire fatalities, inflating the death toll. He suggested that Israel is intent on building an Israeli “super state” from the Jordanian border to the Mediterranean by removing all Arabs in this area. The most stunning accusation was his comparing today’s Israel Defense Force actions to the 1944 Nazi purge of the Warsaw ghetto.”
“Macgregor spoke of collective punishment, a term he has used before. The term is popular among Hamas supporters in the United Nations as it suggests war crimes. Hence, the Nazi comparison.”
“Sometimes, it feels as if we are going back in time. In the early 20th century, the fictitious “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” were used to argue a plot by Jews/Zionists to take over the world and subvert Christianity. The abbreviated version of the book first appeared in Russia in 1903. Russian historian Vladimir Burtsev revealed that the “Protocols” were forgeries put together by Russian authorities and the secret police. Apparently, Colonel Macgregor is still unaware that they are a forgery.”
“The Israeli Knesset (parliament) and our government have seen video footage of the October 7 Hamas atrocities. Macgregor can obtain a screening so that he can verify for himself the horrors of that day. Much of the footage was obtained from Hamas sources, their own people posting online the joy of their grisly work.”
“Macgregor quotes numbers of fatalities for the Palestinian victims of Israeli aggression that could only have come from Hamas. Since when are terrorist organizations a credible source of information? Did the Allies take Nazi news releases at face value? As it happens, there’s every reason to believe Hamas’s numbers are fake. Indeed, later in the podcast, Macgregor admits that no one knows what the real numbers are.”
“Much of Macgregor’s commentary was a rambling diatribe, offering no specifics or sources of the Israeli numbers as to exaggeration or details of friendly fire casualties. He just offered up broad generalizations lacking support.”
Number one comment (COLIN POWIS”: “What a surprise and disappointment Macgregor has became over Israel after his sterling performance over the war in Ukraine where he is right on the money ; but he’s not the only one as Judge Andrew Napalitano and his guests are parroting off a similar line on Israel ; Scott Ritter is another one who sees Putin and the Russians threatened by constant NATO advancement east, and yet when Israel is surrounded by Muslim wolves, and then actually attacked, then it’s Israel committing war crimes in response . It’s simply bizarre !”
It seems to me that most of these older reliable sources have been away from any military responsibilities too long to have a really informed idea about current problems.
No one today really knows who is the Commander in Chief or the Secretary of Defense. Maybe Chuck Schumer or Nancy Pelousi are directing all of these events? Who knows?
And ‘we know’ that this was carried out by those radical, insert Boogeyman/scapegoat here(irani,maga,white Christian nationalists)…no wait…irani and Christian together don’t sell to well in the ‘controlled global’ marketplace.
Quick, find another enemy to hate…
Trust God. Fear not
Drones can outwit THAAD. THAAD is for theater missile defense, hitting big and expensive missiles way up outside the atmosphere or during reentry into the atmosphere. Drones are typically at low altitude. That is why air-defenses are supposed to be multi-layered with shorter range, low altitude defenses and mid-altitude defenses all nearby to protect the very high-altitude systems protecting the entire region. But it only takes one weakness anywhere in the system to create a hole the enemy can slip through. They have to stop 100% of the attacks, where the enemy only has to get through once.
I understand that the U.S. Navy just lowered their education standards, because people just aren’t showing up to join anymore.
So how many standards have been lowered so far?
I wonder if USAF Gen. Brown is on the phone with Iran letting them know if they are going to be attacked? Is there any sense that the military would not blindly obey whatever insane edict comes out of the administration? My guess is that anyone but DC REMFs are scared of their leadership, and what they want them to do in the name of “defending our homeland”. BTW – speaking as a combat veteran. We knew when we were asked to do stupid stuff.
FJB isn’t going to be happy until the whole area goes MAGA.

Why did they die?? Not for OUR freedom….
Some words of wisdom.

“We are not willing to mobilize 2,000,000 to fight Iran, so we will lose to Iran”
Bizarre.
I don’t think that the Biden administration would be wise to underestimate Iran’s capabilities.
Here is a list of known Iranian weapons and warfare materiel:

2,000,000 troops!? Nonsense … we can destroy Iran without even coming into the barracks. Our military can work from home … remotely … with a joystick in their hands. Right? After all … arent 80% of our Federal Bureaucracies still working remotely from home?
All US Wars will be … virtual from now on. Our largest military contractor will be Apple … what with their VR headsets. Right? Yep, a high tech sanitized War. I learned about it in 1967. The UN will decide who dies … and will mandate Canadian MAID for all the victims.

Iran has a massive missile inventory. Despite what the following video will claim, we were alerted by Iran through a third party of the attack that allowed us time to prevent destruction of our aircraft and serious casualties among our troops. That attack was a warning.
If we get into a real shooting war with Iran, there will be no warnings prior to the attacks.
Also, Iran and Russia have recently signed a strategic pact. What it involves is not clear, however, I’ve read several sources that claim Iran is now under Russia’s nuclear umbrella. Whether this is true or not, if we go to war with Iran, Iran will not be fighting alone.
Ukraine had over a million men under arms when the conflict started and it has been drones, missiles and artillery that has caused over a million casualties. Ukraine has had great difficulty in backfilling the losses. We would be in the same situation should we go to war.

Larry Johnson gives some rational and correct information. Even Wikipedia acknowledges that Iran has little control or command of Hezbollah, Ansarallah, or some forces that are regularly being called “Iran-backed” in the US media.
Today, Iran put its military on high alert and their air force is on red alert, their highest alert category after the Lindsay Graham demands and war mongering shills to bomb Iran.
Worthless 💩
All 3 of them!

Drop Lindsey on Iran.
For some reason, the Gulf of Tonkin comes to mind…
To quote Samuel Clemmons: “History never repeats itself, but it sure does rhyme.”
What were US service members doing in Jordan, Biden.
Spare us your compassion. You put them there. Why?
