President Joe Biden said the attack was carried out by "radical Iran-backed militant groups". He added: "We shall respond."

Why are US troops in Jordan/Syria? Rand Paul is right. This will now spiral out of control Vietnam style.
Nightmare.
I'm saddened by the loss of life and the wider implications Freepers...
As I say often, weakness and Interventionism are the worst combination.
One thing that has changed even since Trump left office is the number, cost and capability of drones has really given an advantage to the forces of chaos and disorder.
Soliemani was 4 years ago. And a lot of technology has changed and not in favor of the US. (regardless who is President).
Biden’s weakness and stuipidity makes things worse. And Trump is not scared of hitting Iran.
But some of these Iran aligned entities have their own production facilities. They are not entirely dependent on Iran (or Russia).
And Russia directly supplying these guys is also a risk. The West has sent ~$200 billion in weapons for proxies to use against the Russian military.
It is inevitable there will be some blowback from that.
But no mean tweets.😡😡
Because we supported Bush
After all that’s taken place since 911 2001, I no longer give a rats ass about New York City
The Muslims can attack New York City every week .
Not our problem.
No more red blood for blue cities
Iran has been at war with the US, West and Israel since 1979.
Why did we not cripple them at any time between 1979-2024?
Kick the can down the road and you will eventually be attacked by Iran in any event.
Wake up, they are about to go nuclear.
Retiring diplomat says defense officials misled Trump on troop count in Syria
Never should have gone into Iraq. W3 should have kept playing them off Iran like Reagan did.
They’re no threat.
Thousands of miles away and a relatively poor country - a theocracy of all things
They’re not invading the US any time soon
An interesting way of looking at it!
There is also, you know, an actual invasion happening at the border which Biden would love to take your mind off
Theyvwrre not a threat under President Trump. HE HAS TO WIN.
Don’t worry. Brandon will just bumble about
Something worth taking about,...
This business will get out of control...
People who voted for Biden should have to wear an, “I’m stupid l” shirt.
Doesn’t answer the questions of WHY are they there BUT there have been bases in Jordan for years.
I served with an officer who was stationed as an attache at the embassy in Jerusalem. He crossed the Allenby bridge border crossing to Jordan so often during his tour here that the border agents knew him.
ORANGE MAN BAD !!!
With recruitment in the toilet we do not have the competent man power to go to war much of anywhere.
So vote for Biden.
He’s an invertebrate.
Well there you go.
The Arc of History bends toward Justice...
