Yes, Biden is not helpful but Biden or a Republican in office it’s not our job. And because they have the military to deal with Iran and Syria too, you should support the U.S. ending involvement in that as well.

You like to yell and scream. But the US could no more “destroy” Iran than Russia could conquer Ukraine.

But, keep comparing Libya to Iran. It really exposes your lack of understanding of geography, the people involved, and the military power of the US.

There was never any possibility the US was going to attack Iran. My concern is the Biden administration giving Iran some intel about an Israeli strike.

I have long advocated the US getting out of Syria. I opposed the Obama-Biden-Hillary Clinton brain fart known as the Arab Spring. I also opposed the NATO involvement in the Balkans back in the 1990s.

That additional info is welcome, but the only parts I would disagree with is if he would give Iran key intel as Israel may know not to trust him with it. Secondly, he may lean to just throwing more cash at Iran, which is probably going to happen no matter what. And who would have thought we would invade Iraq, be involved in Syria, Yemen, boots on the ground in Somolia as well, all since 2003? So don’t be hasty to think the bunglers of the Afghanistan (Casey et al) withdrawal won’t attack Iran.

Have a good one!

You clearly don’t know how the world works. We SPY on Israel! Israel spies on us! We spy on EVERYONE! And everyone spies on everyone else. It’s how the game is played.

Israel doesn’t have to tell us anything (and I guarantee it would not tell the Biden administration of its attack on Iran, at least not until the first strike).

Israel has been saying this for YEARS, they are just saying it again because talks are ongoing about easing the sanctions against Iran. If Israel is truly worried, well we’ve been giving them big bucks for years to defend themselves, so let them do it. Realistically even if Iran managed to get enough for a bomb, Israel has hundreds of them with which to retaliate so it’s not like Iran would ever use it anyway.

No, Israel has NOT been saying this for years. I’m betting Israel is withing a few weeks of having the exact time Iran crosses the line.

WHOA - when I’m wrong I’m totally wrong! Looks as bad as AOC and John Kerry talking about Global Warming...

https://www.juancole.com/2012/09/netanyahu-in-1992-iran-close-to-having-nuclear-bomb.html

1992: Israeli member of parliament Binyamin Netanyahu predicts that Iran was “3 to 5 years” from having a nuclear weapon.

1992: Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres predicts an Iranian nuclear warhead by 1999 to French TV.

1995: The New York Times quotes US and Israeli officials saying that Iran would have the bomb by 2000.

1998: Donald Rumsfeld tells Congress that Iran could have an intercontinental ballistic missile that could...

on and on and on...

The US will try and stop or foil an Israeli attack on Iran if they get wind of such a thing. The US bureaucracy-progressives are anti-Semitic as well as the current administration and many RINO’s.

Israel will team with Saudi Arabia to launch a strike on Iran if they reach a certain point in their nuclear program and probably pull it off right under the nose of the US military. If there is no raid the Saudi’s will then purchase nukes from the Russians, Paks or Norks to offset any Iranian nukes.

It was Israel that fed Bush the lies about “yellow cake” going to Iraq that convinced him to go to war.

You accuse israel of lying, but the facts do not bear it out.

AP/CBS 7/05/08
The last major remnant of Saddam Hussein's nuclear program - a huge stockpile of concentrated natural uranium reached a Canadian port Saturday to complete a secret U.S. operation that included a two-week airlift from Baghdad and a ship voyage crossing two oceans.

The removal of 550 metric tons of "yellowcake" - the seed material for higher-grade nuclear enrichment - was a significant step toward closing the books on Saddam's nuclear legacy. It also brought relief to U.S. and Iraqi authorities who had worried the cache would reach insurgents or smugglers crossing to Iran to aid its nuclear ambitions.

I hope the Israelis understand that the brain-damaged, senile, imbecile squatting in the Oval Office and his band of Woke Morons cannot be counted on to do anything. They're going to have to take action!

Yellow cake was found in Iraq and was shipped after the war to Canada for processing. obama / clinton then sold it to Russia who sold it to Iran.

You seem to forget three decades of sanctions and sabotage of the Iranian program
