A “decision” has been made, apparently, with CBS reporting: “Biden tells reporters that he has decided on how to respond to the attack that killed US troops in Jordan.” And Sky News writes, ‘Moment of no return approaching’ as Biden weighs retaliation for soldier deaths.
Additionally, Biden said the White House sees Iran as responsible for supplying the weapons used in the drone strike on the Tower 22 base along the Jordan-Syria border, an attack which also saw over 40 American troops injured.
Admin officials have repeatedly asserted they do not seek wider war with Iran, even while direct accusations fly against Tehran, and there’s talk of military ‘options’ and warlike threats go over the airwaves.
…because “pressure,” writes Bloomberg: “US President Joe Biden faces intensifying pressure to confront Iran directly after the country’s proxies killed three American soldiers in a drone strike in Jordan over the weekend, risking precisely the wider regional conflict that he’s trying to avoid.”
“A person familiar with the US position, who asked not to be identified discussing private discussions, said it was clear that a strike — which also wounded at least 34 — would force a stronger response than what the US has done so far in the weeks,” continues Bloomberg.
Currently, the reporting consensus seems to be that Biden will order major strikes against various Iranian ‘proxy’ positions especially in Iraq and Syria. In the immediate aftermath of the Sunday drone attack on the US Tower 22 base, there were reports that Iran-aligned militias were temporarily evacuating bases in the region.
Biden on the White House lawn Tuesday: “I do hold them [Iran] responsible in the sense that…
US and coalition forces could at the same time launch another major round of airstrikes against Houthi positions in Yemen, amid continued targeting of Red Sea shipping.
The only question that remains is timing… when will the bombs fly? At this point it’s a certainty. A proverbial “moment of no return” is fast approaching. Historians could look back on this pivotal moment and see it as the point at which the Gaza war spiraled into a broader Middle East enduring conflict.
Tragic as any loss of American life is, one regional analyst points out the following sure to be unpopular truth…
If you’re a superpower that can’t suffer an average rate of one dead soldier per 38 days of intense regional conflict without behaving like you’ve arrived at a 9/11-type decision point, maybe massive military entanglements in the Middle East are not for you?
Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani has denied that Tehran was behind the drone strike and killing of Americans: “As we have clearly stated before, the resistance groups in the region are responding [to] the war crimes and genocide of the child-killing Zionist regime and… they do not take orders from the Islamic Republic of Iran,” he said.
He further asserted: “These groups decide and act based on their own principles and priorities as well as the interests of their country and people.”

Below is some commentary on the ‘dilemma’ from Rabobank…
Let’s then start Blinken – which is that the US is doing when the US Secretary of State states, “The response against Iran could be multi-levelled and come in stages and be sustained over time.” Operation Praying Mantis, where the US sank half the Iranian fleet in a day in the 1980s, it won’t be: Operation Praying Man, ‘tis. Because while the White House counts its dead, injured and loss of deterrence at the hands of Iran-backed forces –as Tehran says it didn’t do it– it’s also counting the cost of a war that would not only not be over by the 2024 election, where higher oil prices would likely mean Biden loses, but might still be going on in 2028.
Markets will therefore be relieved as Bloomberg, both accurately and ridiculously, says the US aims to find a way to bomb Iran just enough to show it’s angry without doing real damage – so ‘politesse’, not real politics. But risks remain: bomb too much – war; bomb too little – more Iran pushback until we trigger that same war; and it’s not clear if there is a sweet-spot between the two.

If the USA starts attacking countries who supply weapons to countries who attack the usa…..it sets a legal precedent for other peoples to attack the USA anytime a USA supplied weapon is used against them.
Who thumbs down such a common sense comment? The scrutinizer? Some judaizer?
Yes, most likely.
because muh legal precedent
I’m sure scrotumizer was one of them!
He’s The Stupidizer.
He’s both!
Good point. For instance how many Russians have been killed in the last year by USA supplied weapons??
The weapons were supplied by Biden, [who took his cut] to Zelensky [who took his cut] to Netanyahu [who took his cut] to Mossad [who took their cut] to an IDF group pretending to be Iranians, to the American deadees, who were cut, um, er, ultimately killed by Biden.
So simple.
Putin “I have proof USA supplied the Ukrainian terrorists with the weapons used to attack Russians on Russian soil.”
To ALL present/former “legislators”, YOU, NOT brown people, BUT YOU, are going to be hunted down in this country, when you turn our power off.
Choose wisely.
JUST a “heads up”….
Michael Collins for the win
Take another look at that picture. A demented corpse will incite WWIII after taking advice from a couple of equity hires.
The “Director of National Intelligence”. She looks like she typifies average American intelligence.
She should be a third grade art teacher.
Or maybe a cashier at Publix.
i would use self checkout – she just doesn’t look trustworthy.
C’mon Ed, most grocery employees are honest hard working people who have their jobs because they add value to their company and customers. That bitch is a diversity hire that swallows.
I get your drift though.
Would you trust her teaching your children? Really?
Fucking cunt Bitch should be in uniform, weapon in hand, ready to LEAD THE WAY.
That physiognomy thing, again.
Once seen it cannot be unseen.
I’d trust and follow her before that faggot Admiral.
They’re both there to lead US to our destruction …
A nation can lose most of its’ men and recover in a generation but if it loses its’ women, it will never recover.
Germany between WWI and WWII was proof of that.
She clearly has one qualification that explains her post.
she’s crooked
They always get their picture taken straight-on. Hide the hook.
Yes. Her one qualification is encapsulated in the following song:
https://youtu.be/vHSNZK4Je-Y?si=xC1XWUh76hIMji_V
And who would want that? Please don’t do that and please don’t swallow.
I rarely disagree with HSF. He is wrong . I would bet my life that she has several evil degenerate qualifications that got her that job.
She looks like Every Single Time.
It all went downhill once women were allowed out of the kitchen. Tell me I’m wrong.
Maybe you should go back a little further in history than that to see that things have been fuked back then as they are now.
But, one thing’s for sure. Women can be just a psychopathic as men and fuke things up as bigly as any man.
Looks like Jeff Bezos with a wig
Can we get Colon Powell to say Iran has WMD’s ? Put a call in to central casting !
We did that to get into Iraq. We did it again to get into Syria in the first place, that’s why we’re supposedly there. Maybe third time is the charm.
Indeed. Per Colonel D McGregor, the main purpose of maintaining these few hundred US troops in the Syrian, Iraqi, Jordanian hinterlands is to serve as dangling bait for regional bad boys to attack.
That, plus stealing Syrian oil to hand over to the Kurds, to sell to the Turks, to sell to the Israelis.
Talk about “entangling alliances”….
We called the guys in South Korea “Trip Wires” for the North.
Fixed it fo ya:
Can we get Powell’s Colon to say Iran has WMD’s ? Put a call in to central casting !

I’m shocked they didn’t paint an actual bullseye on it.
Nice to see they updated the fort concept for the era of satellite surveillance.
And there’s a nice little cemetery right next door. How convenient.
One of the soldiers killed was a 46 yo E5.
And two cremation ovens.
Kurt Kuklershit , Benny Shitaroid, Lispy Grahoe, Dud Cringeshaw and Johnny Cornhole must all orgasmatic at this news.
one less turd in the gene pool.
As expected, a brave person who stood for justice once in their life is not something a cowardly POS like you would understand, Langley.
Not a John Donne fan I take it.
FOAD, Ziocon cunt.
Fuck off asswipe scrotum
I do hope that you can be so magnanimous about the suffering of others as you have your guts pulled out while watching your loved ones raped to death. You are truly a disgusting human being.
The Hasbara Stupidizer, aka The Ty-D-Bol Man, has spoken!
And she got a once in a lifetime chance to experience the fullness of Jewish mercy.
[Which is say, none at all, just like their murderous ancestors]
The Jews share one trait with the Arabs:
When they are a small minority, the make nice-nice.
When they are in a majority, the make kill-kill.
They’re a small minority in every Nation on Earth except for israel … and they do not make nice-nice in any one of them … never have, never will … that’s why more than 100 Nations have kicked them out over the past few thousand years.
She died in the wholly land.
Hole-lyland.
Home of jewish Concentration Camps and jewish Open Air Gaza Extermination Camp.
We never landed on the Jewish Concentration Camps.
She should have minded her own business. She should have ducked.
Maybe the weapons came from Afghanistan?? Who knows the truth? You can’t even believe what you see in this day and age.
Or weapons came from Benghazi ? Or Afghanistan ?
But what if the also came from……
Afghanistan?
Lol
They might have come via Afghanistan way.
What if they came from North Korea, by way of silk road in Afghanistan?
What if the drone came from Amazon headquartered in Crystal City, talking about some irony.
They were delivered by Amazon.
Through their Adghanistan Amazon Weapons Fulfillment Center.
or how about Israel? That seems most likely of all, since they benefit the most from any attack on Iran.
Pretty sure the weapons traveled from the USA through several shell countries and ended up where it is being used to drive the war narrative being used to cover up the pokemon mass murders.
Consider also that the drone was apparently a high altitude, missile bearing drone if the base’s medium range air defenses couldn’t touch it. Rag tag local militias don’t have that kind of thing.
Exactly- who stands to gain here. The Iran backed groups may or may not be evil but I doubt they are stupid. The whole thing screams falsr flag. Who knows if there was rally and attack or anyone really harmed. If the MSM pushes it alwayss assume it’s false news – they do not tell lies most of the time- they tell lies all the time.
Cui bono?
Remember, it all REALLY STARTED in 1953 with Eisenhower’s CIA-orchestrated COUP of their democratically elected government.
” …. and in my first memories , they shot Kennedy
I went numb when I learned to see
So I never fell for Viet Nam , got the wall in DC to remind us all
That you can’t trust freedom when it’s not in your hands
And everybody’s fighting for the promised land ”
G & R – Civil War
Biden isn’t going to decide shit. The NWO will decide (actually, has already decided) what comes next, and those decisions will be relayed to Biden by his handlers if he is coherent enough to understand them. If not, his handlers will just issue the orders themselves. That is the way it works with most presidents.
But I doubt that they are going to escalate much. Continuous sporadic bombings and drone attacks and limited ground engagements has been their preferred strategy ever since Gulf War I. Just enough to cause distraction from other events (“vaccine” deaths, invasion of our southern border, etc), to cause turmoil and fighting between the Left and the Right, and to keep tensions and anxiety levels high. A major war, especially one that could go nuclear, is probably not in the cards right now. A major war would likely kill many of them. They are more interested in implementing their Agenda 2030 plans, and they will kill off most of the sheeple with “vaccines”, bioweapons, starvation, 5G, and other methods that are easier to direct at specific people and groups of people.
Biden: “Biden wants soft serve, vanilla.”
But we are all relegated to Rocky Road.
But we are all relegated to Rocky Road.
And Funky Chunky
Which of the Swamp’s ‘plan implementations’ last went as planned, without Sisyphean blowback?
Neocons are the Swamp’s plan implementers these days. They are all looking over their shoulders at a lumbering TRex gaining on them every second. They’re all TRexified, running out of time. Now or Never is the current chapter in their book. This is their last chance to to ensure hook-beaks maintain financial hegemony over the oil markets and Asian trade routes by militarily kneecapping the Persians and Arabs.
Oh, there’ll be escalations aplenty. Count on it. Escalation is the only card Israel has left to play and, as usual, they’ll be playing out their 7/2 “all-in” hand with our stack of poker chips.
Nukes aren’t going to fly any time soon, unless Israel uses one on us to draw us into their war with 100% commitment. Secretary Blinken has already whispered that in NuttyYahoo’s ear. Do you think Israel doesn’t have a submarine offshore that can lob a mini-sun onto Bathhouse Barry’s DC enclave? A miles-wide pedo bonfire would ignite molten moral outrage in Babylon, everybody screaming for Putin’s scalp and scrotum.
Much bigger regional wars in Ukraine, the Levant and particularly against Iran are certain. It’ll get very hot, but not radioactive unless Israel’s survival is at stake. Iran is much too close to having nuclear weapons to FAFO what they’ll do when they have them on rockets.
When Neocons escalate NATO’s beef with Russia with F-16’s flying out of Romania, Russia will tie NATO’s 31 fumble-footed nation’s shoelaces together at hypersonic speed, winking at China.
China will take this opportunity to ‘convince’ Taiwan to restore One Nation ties but the South China Sea is ripe with false flag opportunities that could leave Taiwan smoldering. Think the good ‘ole USA will let China have Taiwan if we can’t? That’s my bet for the scuffle that starts the first nuke duke. Use them or lose them.
I told my wife that her two sons, mid-30s and very bright, would be drafted in 2025 if not sooner. Neocons needs war, at home and abroad, to implement martial law before FJB’s sunset, 11/24.
Decisions about major wars are made at the CFR level and above. Those neocons who aren’t at that level, which is most of them, are just useful idiots who are used by the NWO. They don’t actually make any important decisions. They just implement the decisions made by the NWO. Of course, many of them think they are the actual decision makers, but they aren’t.
Agreed, but all the breadcrumbs dropped by the useful idiots appearing to be in charge lead to war, probably by this summer, with Iran. The NWO has ordained it because the China/Russia/Iran economic plan will clog the NWO money siphon permanently and Trump will let them do it with a grin.
NuttyYahoo will toot Gabriel’s Horn to fetch Colin Powell from his crypt to provide ironclad supposition that Iran bought yellowcake from Botswana to make mushroom clouds over the Knesset. Rabid Zionists will drop’em on Tehran first, as a preventive prophylactic, to defend Democracy and bend Arabs over their oil barrels.
The usual good neighbor stuff.
One minor point. FJB’s sunset does not occur until Jan 20, 2025 at noon EST, unless God has other plans for him. A lot of mayhem can happen between Nov 6, 2024 and Jan 20, 2025
Biden tells reporters that the neocons, rhinos, and the M.I.C have decided on how to respond to the attack that killed US troops in Jordan.”
FIFY
Lemme guess – he’s going to send them more money???
Whoa wait a minute….
Ukraine is using weapons made in the USA against Russia and that’s fair?
I worry what the pushback is gonna be.
Auntie keeps telling you all: some mid-level idiot at the Pentagram or Dept of State is going to make an error and get WWIII kicked off in style.
This^^^. This is where the controlled demolition of society spins out. The planners plan, but they never count on the amateur coming out of the back of the bar with a shotgun, justa ruinatin’ all their perfect planin’. I believe I’ll call that Divine Intervention today.
Like Operation Eagle Claw in 1980 planned by Jimmy Carter to rescue the Iran Hostages which resulted in the huge catastrophe at Desert One. Or Black Hawk Down Incident, part of Operation Gothic Serpent on 3–4 October 1993, in Mogadishu. Or the 2012 Harpy defense of the two United States government facilities in Benghazi. Or the Grdelica Serbia train bombing on 12 April 1999, when two missiles fired by a USAF F-15E Strike Eagle fighter bomber hit a passenger train while it was passing across a railway bridge over the Južna Morava river in the Grdelica gorge, some 300 kilometres (190 mi) south of Belgrade, Serbia. At least 20 civilian passengers were killed or declared missing. Estimates of the total death toll run as high as 60. It is considered the deadliest rail disaster in Serbian history. Or three Chinese Embassy personnel killed in Belgrade in Oct1999 by “accidental” NATO bombing. Or one week after the Monica Lewinsky scandal in 1998, Blow Job Bill bombed the Shifa Milk Factory in Sudan killing one and wounding 11. Or the 3 shots into LaVoy Finicum with his hands up & 3 into his truck by Oregon State Police. Or Waco, or the Panama Invasion (where Delta Forces murdered about 300 civilians and dumped their bodies in a hole in the jungle), or Ruby Ridge, etc.
Are you sayin’ all this shit was planned? Holy shit. There’s no way this gubbamint doesn’t love us man.
They love you until you start collecting Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid. Then they look for ways to kill you with Pharmaceutical products or Doctor/Hospital medical errors.
Fine rundown, sir.
They almost have to at this point, Auntie. When they tapped the boosters during TARP, they ended any chance at all of a soft landing for the USD. That is why they want to kill as many as possible now, such that they can reduce the size of the mob that will be howling for their skins as much as possible
Given the folks in the State Department and elsewhere throughout our Government that are charged with our foreign and military policies … it’ll be the most deliberate ‘error’ of all time …
I await Russia bombing the crap out of DC.
Inshallah. (not a muslim; just sayin’)
that’s funny /s. I’ve always heard: if it waddles like a duck and quacks like a duck, it sure as h*ll ain’t a platypus
>>>I await Russia bombing the crap out of DC.
But that could kill or maim dozens of innocent people!
Lot “Lord, will you really wipe away the good with the sinner?”
God “They are all sinners.”
Lot “Surely there is one good man. What city are we talkng about, Tucson?
Springfield, Santa Fe?”
God “District of Columbia”
Lot “Pffffft. Bombs away God!”
Gotta break a few eggs, bro.
Why would they bomb their own family?
Congress is supposed to declare war. Not a bunch of wannabe deciders.
B3RG* make the plans that the tools execute. Congress is a crime cartel that knows where they get their marching orders from.
That’s so 1941 of you…
These assholes are talking as if it’s Biden’s rightful power to start wars anywhere, anytime, with anyone over anything. Apparently, the Tylers agree since they just did the usual C&P from MSM sources without any commentary expressing an opinion contrary to Blinken’s outrageous statement. BTW, That photo of the three retards at the table dates back to before fatass Austin croaked.
He’s gonna’ bore them to death…..
“Did I ever tell you lying pony faced soldiers about the time while driving a big rig up in one of those real cold states and Corn-Pop tried to drop a statue of Robert E Lee off an overpass on me and some woman, and jill, she is a doctor you know, was breast feeding my baby boy hunter, or was it the one killed storming the beach in Bosnia and is buried in a mass grave somewhere in France, wait just a fucking minute, what is that over there, children with ice cream, my favorite.”
Children or ice cream is the favorite?
Iran is a threat to our democracy….reeeee
His eyes look like two piss-holes in a snow bank.
Iran is a threat to our democra~reeeee
/fixed
It almost sounded like he was trying to say Führer.
I have been arguing this same position for years … but, but , but BUT, like American Exceptionalism. We are the indispensable nation. You cannot bomb us, but we can bomb you, so don’t make the mistake of making us come over there to free the shit out of you. For L3, Boeing, Lockheed, General Dynamics, and MacDac, of course.
I like your first two sentences best. They were true before Our Country was offshored to more cheaper, primitives….who now call the shots
I believe Bibi and FJB have so angered all Islam that they will unite behind Iran and drive US from Iraq, Lebanon, & Syria , and they will ultimately do to Israel what Israel has done to Gaza. FJB has so depleted our Military by sending our weapons to Ukraine and Israel that we cannot fight a war now even against Yemen and terrorist; we must weasel word a retreat from the whole Middle East now. Even when DJT is elected in Nov2024, it will be too late. I read that because of supply problems, we are only able to manufacture one high performance interceptor missile per month now.
Well, between all the new cannon fodder from South of the border and all the trannies in the military. Who needs missiles?
Imminent: Sometime before Joe Biden’s death from old age, probably!
