Reuters: White House says Iran 'actively facilitating' some attacks on US military bases
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The White House on Monday said Iran was in some cases "actively facilitating" rocket and drone attacks by Iranian-backed proxy groups on U.S. military bases in Iraq and Syria, and President Biden has directed the Department of Defense to brace for more and respond appropriately.
White House spokesman John Kirby said there had been an uptick in such attacks over the last week, and especially over the last few days, but the U.S. would not allow its interests in the region to "go unchallenged."

ReplyDeleteMuch of our quality of life in the west is owed to controlling Middle East resources and dictating the currency it’s traded in. That’s changing now and poses an existential threat to the United states., in that whoever controls it next will likely be an enemy with a score to settle, and rightfully so. The US will put everything it has in the fight, even more so than the South China Sea.
ReplyDeleteThis is part of the propaganda gear up call. US forces attacked. US hostages s taken
ReplyDeleteFuture headline.
Iran, in league with the Quest for a Russian domination of a world wide anti rules based order.
And In the face of this unwarranted aggression of choice by the Iranians and their proxies Hezbollah , hamas, syrians and isis.
The US had no choice but to go to war,
Coming soon to a theater near you.
You saw it here first.
The US should not have any military bases outside of the USA, and certainly not in the Middle East, which is over 10,000 miles away.
ReplyDeleteSort of like how Russia doesn't have a base in Syria
DeleteBrave heroes one and all.
ReplyDeleteThe resistance is strong.
And Iran has a sooper sekrit drone that can travel 2000 miles. Its a good thing the USS Carney was in the direct path (in the Red Sea) to take out these new drones and missiles before they reached Tel Aviv.
ReplyDeleteOr, Iran directly attacked a US Warship in international waters with a 9 hour barrage of drones and missiles.
Israel will go after Russian Individuals once the dust settles
ReplyDeleteRussia needs a way to get back at America. the nature of our support to Ukraine has been hard on Russia. They will use this Mideast flare up to try and even the score is my guess. a two front existential threat war for Israel will harm our weapons systems and ammunition support to Ukraine.
ReplyDeleteFake government fake war
ReplyDeleteWho cares of it has been hard on Russia. They should not have invaded.
ReplyDeleteThere is enough time and enough energy to support Israel, Taiwan, Ukraine or whatever. it is a matter of priorities.
Maybe Ron should visit an arsenal. I have. You should tor where they refurbish artillery. I have. Maybe you should walk the base and see how unbusy it is.
they already doubled 155 ammo production and that was several months back. It was way ahead of schedule. They are still increasing production. They could go faster still, but the corporations do not want to be left holding the bag if orders suddenly stop. They can ramp up shell production very fast but the political will or desire in Washington is not there.
The time and effort the Democrat spend on encouraging and facilitating illegal immigration could be spent on ammo production. Production would quadruple, quintuple or whatever you need. You be amazed at how fast a production line can be set up. moving one is faster. Jack hammer the machines out of their foundation, transport it across the continent and pour new bases virtually over night. Maybe you might not be amazed lacking in imagination as you are.
When you live in the rust belt and there is fighting between the unions and management. When they can move production lines to right to work states, when you point out that the machinery is in a deep, poured concrete base that makes it look permanent and then you are told that is not a problem at all.
The problem is will, vision and money. DC is not serious about the war yet. Not yet. they are too busy grifting.
"The US should not have any military bases outside of the USA, and certainly not in the Middle East, which is over 10,000 miles away."
ReplyDeleteYOU ARE A MORON EVEN FOR A TROLL.
YOU SUCK SO BAD YOU BELONG IN Лубянка PRISON.
By your rules the US would never have defeated the NAZIs. Not every ruler bent on world conquest has a mere high school education like Hitler. Have you ever considered if Hitler had not formally declared war if the US would have won?
"the nature of our support to Ukraine"
ReplyDeleteThe nature of our support to Ukraine is similar to the nature of our support to the USSR after the NAZIs invaded it.
I am just flabbergasted at the similarities!
Flabbergasted, I tell ya!
