  1. John Bolton is on the news saying — bomb Iran back to the first century. This can’t end well.

  3. The problem I have with the framing of this situation in the media is now all the networks are saying that Israel must respond and attack Iran. This was not even close to a serious strike by Iran and this is simply a retaliation for the consulate bombing. If Israel actually attacks on Iranian soil, there is no coming back, the US will be forced into another war.

  4. I hope cooler heads prevail in the Biden administration and they’ll tighten the leash on Israel to avoid further escalation

  5. Best case scenario is that both Iran and Israel go up in a puff of smoke. TWO terrorist states less in the world.

  7. we wouldn’t be here if israel wasn’t trying to escalate with everybody by bombing all their neighbors

  8. How about we start shooting down some Russian drones too

  9. Great, even more of our tax dollars will be sucked up into this conflict. All because Israel just had to attack that Iranian consulate.

  10. Once again The Simpsons was right. Wars of the future will be fought between robots, the soldiers’ job is to build and maintain those robots.

  11. The US has a defense treaty with Israel. Biden cannot override that. It would take an act of Congress. (both houses, and the ReThugLickers own the House by a slim margin)

    VOTE, MOTHERFUCKER

  13. And just like that, Biden’s announcement of aid to Israel being conditional on not committing genocide is forgotten.

  14. The only casualty in this entire attack was a kid who got cut from the shrapnel. Beyond that, this attack did absolutely nothing. Almost hilarious to see.

    If this was pokemon, This shit was like a ground type fighting a electric type.

  15. USA government running deficits in the trillions, shooting down cheap drones with missiles that cost millions.

  16. Ugh. I don’t know why we are even involved. Were we shooting down any of Israel’s attacks on Iran or Palestine?

    It seems like Iran would be completely justified in attacking the US since we messed with their defense against Israel.

  18. Reminds me of the proportional response argument in West Wing. (A tv show about a fictional U.S. presidency for anyone wondering)

  19. [https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-04-14/ty-article/.premium/irans-attack-is-a-strategic-opportunity-for-israel-will-netanyahu-squander-it/0000018e-dbd9-dcf5-a3cf-fbdd980a0000](https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-04-14/ty-article/.premium/irans-attack-is-a-strategic-opportunity-for-israel-will-netanyahu-squander-it/0000018e-dbd9-dcf5-a3cf-fbdd980a0000) To the idiots calling this a “measured attack”….

    This was an unprecedented HUGE attack.

    Thankfully, Israel’s ARAB NEIGHBORS chipped in and helped down some of the missiles. Apparently a few Jordanians were hurt and a Bedouin girl. To the “social justice warriors” who pray for genocide of Jews…. you are on the wrong side of History.

  20. “Thanks to these deployments and the extraordinary skill of our servicemembers, we helped Israel take down nearly all of the incoming drones and missiles.”

    Good job team!

  21. Netanyahu wanted this attack so he could drag the US back into being unconditional supporters of Isreal. It was completely predictable that Iran would retaliate after having an Embassy attacked. It is embarrassing how easily the US is manipulated into supporting a country that is committing war crimes and flaunting UN resolutions.

  22. Amazing, Israel is a bully who keeps doing shit with no consequences at all and when the victim strikes back they go crying and pretends to be a victim. I wonder how much AIPAC pays Biden to keep protecting Israel from consequences.

    Then we have Ursula Von der Leyen who strongly condemns the “Unjustified” Iranian strike on Israel. It blows my mind that people like her can say that with a straight face. So much hypocrisy.

    I think Israel will finally attack Iran since Israel has been craving to attack Iran for decades and now Israel will force the US to participate. It’s crazy that we have a state like Israel who can antagonize and start shit with no consequences at all.

  23. The headline he is that Biden told Netanyahu that the US would not support aggression against Iran. If Trump was President US would be bombing Iran as we speak.
