National security adviser Jack Sullivan warned on Sunday that the “risk” of the Israel-Hamas war escalating into a wider regional conflict is “real,” vowing the U.S. will continue to respond to attacks from Iran proxies to deter the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East.
Asked on ABC News’s “This Week,” about what’s expected if Iran-backed groups continue attacks on U.S. forces, Sullivan said, “The president has been very straightforward on this — if American troops are attacked by Iran and its proxies, we will respond. We did respond if attacks continue, will respond, and I think the Iranians understand our message.”
“And we, of course, are taking every measure necessary to protect our forces, to increase our vigilance, and to work with other countries in the region to try to keep this conflict that is currently in Israel and Gaza from spinning out into a regional conflict, but the risk is real, and therefore vigil is high and the steps we are taking to deter that and prevent that are serious, systematic and ongoing.”

These guys in power now have shown themselves to be, at least, completely incompetent.
Alas, we live in a movie now and nobody thinks or cares about such things.
Thanks to Obiden arming the terrorists.

Jake Sullivan is now “Jack Sullivan”?
All according to plan?
🤔🤔🤔
Wouldn’t surprise me. Some people want to see the world 🌎🌍 burn.
stumblin', bumblin' biden's administration; hiring the best and brightest. /s
“and should deterrence fail, to decisively prevail in any conflict.”
we didn’t fight properly after 9/11, why would we fight properly now?
we havent fought properly since WW2
NEW: Biden admin is preparing for the possibility the Israel-Hamas war will expand across the Middle East, and is focused on making sure U.S. forces in the region have adequate protection, U.S. and Israeli officials tell Axios.
Christians are next.
The world wars of the twentieth century, resulting in the deaths of lots of millions, and the resulting ideologies of fascism and communism, which murdered many more millions, all started with the assassination of one man in 1914.
We may be seeing the start of another horrible world war, this time with the combatants having nukes.
Do you all get the feeling this is all a prelude to what will be a very chaotic year in 2024? Hardly a coincidence all of this chaos is occurring right before a presidential election in the US!
Jake. But is is the Hill and they may as well be Media Matters.
Post confronts Jake Sullivan with ex-WH stenographer’s Biden ‘corruption’ claim
By Steven Nelson
Published April 24, 2023
Updated April 25, 2023,
Except:
“President Biden’s top national security aide Jake Sullivan was asked point-blank Monday if he was part of an influence-peddling conspiracy benefitting Biden’s family — after a former White House stenographer made the accusation earlier this month and demanded to speak to the FBI and a Delaware grand jury.
Sullivan, 46, gave a single-word answer — “no” — when asked by The Post if stenographer Mike McCormick was correct to allege he corruptly assisted Biden family business interests in Ukraine.”
Sure we will, with little pin pricks. Even responses to 911 were measured, so as not to upset Saudis, ChiComs and Rooskies. And prior to that, the slaughter of 241 US Armed Forces personnel in Beirut (1983) didn't get Uncle Sam up off his a$$.
> we havent fought properly since WW2 <
Part of the problem is that Congress has ceded its war-making power to the president. As a result, presidents can start wars whenever they feel like it.
Just don’t call it a war. Call it a police action, a kinetic action, nation-building, or some such thing. And the name matters. We fight declared wars until we win. We fight police actions until the folks in the nightly news decide it’s a bad idea.
“‘The Middle East Region Is Quieter Today Than It Has Been in Two Decades’”
“Just eight days ago, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, speaking at The Atlantic Festival, rattled off a long list of positive developments in the Middle East, developments that were allowing the Biden administration to focus on other regions and other problems. A truce was holding in Yemen. Iranian attacks against U.S. forces had stopped. America’s presence in Iraq was “stable.” The good news crescendoed with this statement: “The Middle East region is quieter today than it has been in two decades.”
Sullivan being the greatest of the completely incompetent morons running the crap show. Playing with valuable military assets and personnel so they can look like “big” “smart” guys. Sullivan engineered hitlery’s Benghazi debacle. Complete smart a@@ sneak along the lines of Stzrok (he of Russia Russia hoax team v. Trump).
Let’s play Twister Let’s play Risk...
This is BS. There is very little risk.
Iran is already in the war, they just haven’t launched any weapons from Tehran, they are playing by prosy. There is no danger any other Arab states will become involved as they value their economy and population more than they care about Hamas terrorists.
Of course there is risk of full out war with Hezbollah, but again they are controlled by Iran.
It all started when Biden restricted oil and gas production, distribution , and exploration, which enriched the bad guys, who were bankrupt at the time.
Syria launched rockets into Israel.
Israeli artillery is responding.
>If Trump is elected, we’ll have a war! Every dimocrap
