“These strikes were authorised in response to recent attacks against American and Coalition personnel in Iraq, and to ongoing threats to those personnel,” he said.

 

According to the Pentagon, US fighter jets dropped seven 500-lb Joint Direct Attack Munition-guided precision bombs, hitting seven targets, which includes a crossing used by the armed groups to move weapons across the border.

 

Kirby said the strikes destroyed multiple facilities at a border control point used by a number of Iranian-backed militant groups, including Kata’ib Hezbollah (KH) and Kata’ib Sayyid al-Shuhada (KSS).


“We are confident with the target we went for. We know what we did,” said US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. “We are confident that target was being used by the same Shia militia that conducted the strikes.”

Austin said a lot of nothing, ALF.  Every quote was a dodge and a weave and an empty statement amounting to "trust us, everything is great".

Yes but Tibs - Trump’s Middle East “peace deals” brought the illusion of “peace” where there was never war.

 

Smoke and mirrors for campaign fodder (just like election fraud) and these freaks fell for it hook line and sinker.

The Saudi's might get upset and sell all their Treasury Bond holdings.  I believe the Saudi's are the 3rd largest holder of US debt behind China and Japan.  Or they might threaten to end the petrodollar agreement made back in the early 1970's for settling all oil trades in US dollars (note: oil producing countries that have recently tried to do this had their governments overthrown or were attacked).  maintaining this petrodollar arrangement is the number one Middle East national security interest of the US government. 

 

The US dollar status as world reserve currency and trade settlement provides special privileges to the US no other nation can utilize.  This system is already becoming compromised as the percentage of reserves and settlement in dollars is falling but a it is happening slowly and in an orderly fashion.  This would speed it up considerably and create a lot of chaos if foreign holders like oil producing countries suddenly decided they do not need or even decided to dump dollars.  They would all come home and that would result in the dollar losing a of of its "value" and hence purchasing power via foreign exchange markets.  That would result in all of our standards of living dropping and lots of inflation related to import prices.  I guess the government could hand out more worthless dollars in more relief bills but they wouldn't be worth much. 

 

But if the Saudi's do this the US would threaten to stop the protection racket the US provides through military muscle that keeps their brutal and oppressive regime in power.  Without the supply of US weapons, intelligence, and support the population would soon overthrown the monarchy.  So they would be forced to pivot to either Russia or China as a new protector.  In summary, there's a lot of potential for trouble and turmoil in the foreign policy area and virtue signalling might have a cost here.

 

A problem in people's thinking with many issues is they fail to foresee or entertain there may be consequences or response to all actions taken.  So yes, a change for the better!  

 

Edit: I should add that of course we all knew the crown prince was the force behind the killing.  It was obvious at the time.  But its not clear what the motivation is at this time to state the obvious.  Perhaps this has been forgotten by President Biden or whoever is performing the tasks and duties assigned to the office of the President.

That was an unfreezing of Iranian assets, which was part of the nuclear agreement between pretty much all the civilized nations of the world.  That money, which was held up as sanctions, did not come from the USA, but rather was tied up in foreign banks.  Trump is the one who bailed on that, and made it a huge waste.  All of this is contrary to Trumps tweets and Facebook memes.

Gotta love the hypocrisy.  Didn't you and your puppet masters/the MSM whine like little girls about him doing it, going so far as to praise the terrorists he killed and wetting your pants over potential retribution that never came? :rolleyes:

By the way, what ever happened to the nuclear ‘Christmas present’ we were supposed to get from Kim? Oh yeah....yet another slice of MSM fake hysteria.

I'm not sure how we stop Iran from going nuclear, but the only thing it looks like Biden is going to send them is your tax dollars via 500-2000 lb bombs for now.  It's not going to be easy to make a deal to stop proliferation with anyone if you have presidents pulling out of deals on a whim.  Ask trump if it was worth $150B of Iran's own money to stop it, and he'd say no.  Now we have very limited options, but it would have been harder for them to build it with the deal in place

 

Here's what trump said, “The Iran deal is defective at its core. If we do nothing, we know exactly what will happen. In just a short period of time, the world’s leading state sponsor of terror, will be on the cusp of acquiring the world’s most dangerous weapons.”

 

Here's what trump did to stop it: NOTHING(ie the art of the deal)

Hey, one man's failed foreign policy is very relevant to the guy who has to fix said failed mans foreign policy.  FWIW, you cried TDS daily, but aren't prepared to even consider Biden might do a good job, so there's that hypocrisy, too.

If trumps foreign policy wasn't so bad it would be funny.  

 

In an Aug. 16 appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press," Chuck Todd grilled Trump on who he turned to for foreign policy advice.

"Well I really watch the shows. You really see a lot of great, you know, when you watch your show and all of the other shows, and you have the generals and you have certain people that you like," Trump said.

"But is there somebody — a go-to for you?" Todd pressed. That's when Trump made his next mistake.... claiming a foreign adviser who isn't

"Probably there are two or three. Yeah, probably there are two or three I mean, I like [former U.N. Ambassador John] Bolton. I think he's, you know, tough cookie, knows what he's talking about. [Ret. Col. Jack] Jacobs is a good guy... and I see him on occasion," Trump remarked in the same interview.

In an interview with Mother Jones later that week, the retired colonel said that while knew Trump, the two had never discussed military policy.

He's trying to hide that he's still a bit butthurt trump lost, and we keep picking that scab off.  He should be thankful we keep showing him how bad it was, so he can admit his mistake and move on sooner.

All that peace and prosperity is exhausting. It's so much nicer when we have rising gas prices, unemployment and are once again free to lob bombs into foreign countries.

 

Yep Trump left behind massive deficit , unemployment  and Texas failure to winterise  for high gas prices. So it is ok for Iran to attack US and coalition forces with no retaliation  ?

Israel weighs reprisal for Iranian rocket attack on freighter in context of US & Gulf ties

 

 The blasts left holes above the waterline on both sides of the hull. (See attached picture.) There were no casualties, and the vessel carried on sailing to its destination.

 

Israeli government and army chiefs maintain that this attack cannot go without response, but they understand that serious consideration is called for since hitting back at Iran may generate accelerated Iranian counterattacks that may also draw in its proxies and allies in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and the Gaza Strip. A wider confrontation may ensue with repercussions that would be hard to control.

“WHAT AM I DOING HERE?”

 

We would all like to know the answer to that question, Joe. Biden’s dementia proceeds apace:

 

 


I assume that Biden is not serving as president in any meaningful sense.

 

Normally, he would have delivered an address to a joint session of Congress by this time, like past presidents. But he hasn’t done so. The White House says that Biden will give such a speech (not technically a State of the Union, as I understand it, but functionally identical) at some point, but no date has been set. It is doubtful whether he can do it, notwithstanding that all he has to do is read.
