Biden returns to White House at short notice amid heightened tension between Israel and Iran

1. Biden needs to keep the US out of this. Israel was maliciously poking and prodding Iran to try to get them to bite.

   And more practically it’s going to give Trump and his fascism some high powered ammo with the “I didn’t start any wars while I was in office” line.

2. Oh boy

3. Israel didn’t help us out by attacking an embassy. That’s viewed very poorly in the international community. They are trying to get us involved in a regional war in the Middle East. Biden really needs to put his foot down. This unconditional support for a rogue nation is doing way more harm than good right now.

4. This would seem to suggest later today might be the time for the strike.

5. I hope Joe and his team can stop irrational nations from losing propositions, but I fear magical thinking has poisoned all reasonableness from Israel and Iran.

6. so is anyone in power asking why the US is ready to throw down with Iran b/c of something Israel did? when we ask them to not kill innocent people Netanyahu goes on the TV and says we have to respect them as a sovereign nation. But the moment they instigate a larger conflict we have to back them up automatically, without any conditions on their end for deescalating the genocide in gaza.

7. That’s what happens when you don’t have backbone to tell Israel when enough is enough.

   Now risk putting your people through unnecessary war.

8. The minute he announces the deployment of US troops, he loses the election.

9. 45 would have been racing like you have never seen, straight to his golf course.

10. This conflict has been instigated by Israel for a long, long time. Cold as it sounds, I think no Western nation has any duty to defend Israel. If they’re attacked, it’s their own fucking problem.

11. Yea no, not in favor of Israel trying to suck us into a war for them. You made your bed now sleep in it. Save our tax dollars and human lives.

12. Iran just launched drones at Israel will be there in a few hours.

    To quote Nena’s 99 Luftballons “this is it boys, this is war”.

13. Seems like Biden and Israel both want to start another war in the Middle East. If that happens you best believe I will not be voting for him. That’s a fucking promise. He’s endangering us all by escalating

14. Jpost just reported that dozens of Iranian drones have been launched toward Israel, likely to enter Israeli airspace early sunday.

    The die is cast.

15. Middle east and israel is filled with a bunch of fucking clowns. Grow the fuck up

16. Almost never has a sitting president not been re-elected when we are in the middle of a war. Just FYI.

17. Must have been time for pudding and oatmeal at the white house.

18. Where is my Ron Paul “It’s happening,” gif?

19. This is bad, looks like we’re heading to ww111

20. Say what you will about current POTUS but, I know a former president who would not even interrupt his lethargic golf outing even if all out war broke out in one of them country’s where “they speak languages nobody’s ever heard before”…

21. But he told them “Don’t”!!!!

22. This escalation is Biden’s fault. He let Israel kill thousands of innocent people in Gaza and attack the Iranian embassy. Now Iran is responding, he could have stopped this from happening. I wouldn’t be surprised if tries to send in US troops.

23. This sounds like Israel’s problem. Not ours. Pretty sick of their shit tbh

24. Imagine if the orange dude is in office next year. He would definitely root Bibi to keep getting back at Iran and Gaza. And he would probably stop helping Ukraine. It would be a shit show. Will just have to see who wins this November.

25. Vs trump who stayed at his golf course even when he was told to get back immediately
