    The United States does not seek conflict in the Middle East or anywhere else in the world

    Narrator: It does.

      To be clear, he isn’t striking any official forces of those regions, merely the non-state militant groups.

      This isn’t Trump we’re talking about.

    STOP INITIATING NEW CONFLICTS.

    WITHDRAW TROOPS FROM CONFLICTED REGIONS.

    ENGAGE IN DIPLOMACY.

    DON’T CREATE WWIII.

    Fuck, I hate this man more every passing day.

      Too many neocons on here think the US owns the world and should be able to do as it pleases. Also, IRAN BAD (which is a conclusion they arrived at independently and not because western media drilled it into their head, of course).

        America should be able to assist its friends and allies, in this case Jordan.

        If Iran interferes with our assistance, then by definition they are our adversaries.

      DO NOTHING AFTER YOUR PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MURDERED.

      CAVE TO DICTATORSHIPS IMMEDIATELY.

      KOWTOW IMMEDIATELY WHEN CONFLICT ARRISES.

      Fuck, my distaste for the average person grows every passing day.

        If our military presence wasn’t there, the people wouldn’t have been killed.

        If we didn’t spend 900 billion dollars a year on the Pentagon and instead maintained our social services, no American would be murdered.

        You sound like an Israeli, and they are actively committing genocide with the same sound-bites in their media.

              When you consider LGBT & pro immigration supporting left leaning people “racist” and “fascist”, then you should maybe reconsider where you’re standing. You Nazis & Tankies can all go fucking die in a fire.

                You. Are. Supporting. Genocide.

                You are not supporting ANYTHING left leaning.

                Stop projecting.

                  Oh yeah? Please tell me how I’m supporting genocide. I can’t wait for your delusional answer that definitely won’t make shit up to push your agenda with a whole bunch of mental gymnastics.

          “There” being a country 1600 km from Iran. I don’t know why you keep pretending Jordan is part of Iran, but it isn’t. There’s a whole huge country between them. See the map I provided.

        If you think Iran actually had anything to do with this, you’re nuts. It was obviously orchestrated by Mossad to try to get Americans to support conflict against Arabs and forget about Crimes Against Humanity committed by Israel.

        What does that even mean?

        Iran backed resistance fighters attacked American troops in Iran’s backyard.

        Answer: Get the fuck out of Iran’s backyard. Stop stirring the pot. Take the troops out of reach of the resistance fighters and apply those billions of wasted dollars to the betterment of American lives, not to the taking of non-American lives.

          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.

          Carring water means delivering Iran’s message. Yours is word for word what they want.

          It’s not Iran’s backyard. Resistance to what? Iran is in other countries practicing asymmetrical warfare and the first thing you do is cry when somebody shoots back.

      It’s possible that israel did it but unlikely. There’s a whole list of reasons for these groups to attack Tower22. It is right on the border next to them and operating on their lands. Everyone and their mom saw these attacks coming.

      The Houthi’s are openly firing at American warships.
