Missiles fired toward US consulate in Iraq came from Iran: officials
Iran fired a series of missiles toward the U.S. consulate in Erbil, Iraq, on Sunday, according to U.S. officials.www.foxnews.com
Hey Biden, going to bomb one of Iran's big war leaders like Trump did? How's that Iranian peace deal going?
^^^^ THIS ^^^^Every tyrannical regime in earth is on the move. They see a weak American president and have decided now is their window of opportunity.
^^^^ THIS ^^^^
I see this repeated a lot but rarely substantiated. Thus far the US has undertaken some of the strongest sanctions against a nuclear power, and should there be a direct attack against Iran, will you then turn and say that the current president is getting us into foreign wars?Every tyrannical regime in earth is on the move.

How did that prevent this?Missiles fired toward US consulate in Iraq came from Iran: officials

That's going to be a really interesting question, and the current issue with global oil demand might be what helped tip the hand in conducting this kind of exercise. The other question would be is how has not having a peace treaty fared? Is the Iranian government gone; have they stopped funding Hezbollah etc.?How's that Iranian peace deal going?
“Strong sanctions “ lmaoI see this repeated a lot but rarely substantiated.

So I guess I'll turn the question over to you: what would be a sign of strength?
You didnt answer his question Chainsaw.“Strong sanctions “ lmao
To liberals in America that actually is the definition of being strong. God help us.
Survey say..."It was a mistake. We were going after Nazi terrorists. There was a bioweapois lab there. Global warming. Racism. January 6th protesters were at our border."Missiles fired toward US consulate in Iraq came from Iran: officials

Tough would have been controlling the Afghanistan withdrawal and leaving on our timetable on our terms after all our people were out.So I guess I'll turn the question over to you: what would be a sign of strength?
The sanctions against Russia have crippled much of their economy without having to risk US lives and the potential for a nuclear conflict.“Strong sanctions “ lmao

Tough would have been arming Ukraine to the teeth with Stingers and Javelins and fighter jets as we simultaneously negotiated with Russia.
That's not "tough" that's in the realm of logistics. What specifically shows strength about timing a departure? The only area I do think played the had the US was not interested in foreign conflicts was the Doha Agreement and the subsequent violations of it the Taliban made with no change in US policy. The former administration did not turn course despite of the Taliban's actions and neither did the current one.Tough would have been controlling the Afghanistan withdrawal and leaving on our timetable on our terms after all our people were out.
Except weapons have continually gone into Ukraine throughout this conflict, with the exception of jets of course. Basically removing Russia from most of the world market isn't a sign of weakness either. You seem to be more willing to push the boundaries of armed conflict with Russia.Tough would have been arming Ukraine to the teeth with Stingers and Javelins and fighter jets as we simultaneously negotiated with Russia.
What is it that makes you think Putin, a guy that invaded Ukraine without provocation, would be less provoked by economic sanctions than by material, meaningful, defensive assistance inside Ukraine? Economic sanctions are actually a direct attack on Russia while strictly defensive assistance to Ukraine is immaterial to Russia as long as they don't attack. I mean, I get the fear but I really don't get what's passing for "logic" in this argument.The sanctions against Russia have crippled much of their economy without having to risk US lives and the potential for a nuclear conflict.
Biden was president in the Afghanistan debacle and he failed to adjust to a changing situation and lost all control.That's not "tough" that's in the realm of logistics.

As for timetables, the US did withdraw its troops according to the established timetable; the former president kept critiquing the current administration for not removing troops sooner.

Economic sanctions are something he has been shielding against since the 2014 invasion of Crimea; he's been expecting them. What it seems he might not have expected is that they would be as broad as they have become, but perhaps he did; no one can say for sure. You have to wonder how immaterial defensive assistance to Russia is considering the last US arms deal to supply Ukraine with defensive assistance had a condition they could not be used against Russian separatist groups.What is it that makes you think Putin, a guy that invaded Ukraine without provocation, would be less provoked by economic sanctions than by material, meaningful, defensive assistance inside Ukraine?

Something doesn't add up here. Why would Iran fire missiles at the U.S. consulate when they are attempting to ratify a nuclear treaty with the U.S.?
I think we need to find out who stands to gain by destroying the nuclear treaty. It sure doesn't seem like Iran would.
And piling on Biden right now is the last thing we need to do.
Russia has been creating, funding and advising many of those separatist groups all along. They are and have been a Russian Proxy in Ukraine for more than a decade.Economic sanctions are something he has been shielding against since the 2014 invasion of Crimea; he's been expecting them.

If you're going to posit this as your thesis for "American weakness", then you can't just focus on this administration since the course of policy in Afghanistan ran across two administrations with a fair degree of consistency. What could be perceived as "weakness" is less about US military might and more about a desire to withdraw from theaters that require seemingly never ending engagement.Biden was president in the Afghanistan debacle and he failed to adjust to a changing situation and lost all control.
Do you think an arms deal that sets a condition where the arms cannot be used against pro-Russian separatist forces shows strength to the Russian government?Arming Ukraine as we negotiated would have been negotiating from a position of strength and sending arms post invasion is a lot like shutting the barn door after the horse is out.
So it looks like, from what I can tell, it didn’t harm any US citizens or US property.Missiles fired toward US consulate in Iraq came from Iran: officials
