Kz! Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Might as well get it started since we'll likely see a good amount of bombing and increased troop presence all over the Middle East. It didn't take long for my prediction of Syria being the first country to feel a little American freedom coming there way. #nevermiss We can use this thread to track the Biden administration's ongoing escalation of ME tension and share some dank war memes.

Toastrel Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 We should pull out of the middle east. We should stop pretending to be the world police. Castles and walls are not the answer to the problems the US faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanHammersly Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I can't tell if you do or don't realize that the strike was a retaliation against Iranian backed forces who attacked us. What's your solution here, rollover and let them hit us? Don't say pull out of the ME, because they've already struck, so what's your solution once they do?

toolg Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Let's be clear: The airstrike on 2/25 was on Iranian positions in Syria. LINK Specifically a border crossing where Iran was sending forces into Syria. This airstrke is in direct retaliation for the airstrike Iran conducted earlier this month. They were asking for it. Jen Psaki's tweet is just as tone deaf now as it was in 2017: The legal authority is the Combined Joint Task Force LINK, continuing operations in Syria. (Another forever war Trump failed to end.) Here's the link to her full opinion of Trump's strikes in 2017: LINK. She was critical of Trump's manner to act without consulting allies, what's the bigger plan? I suppose we find out what our allies think of Biden's action in upcoming weeks/months. This thread has potential, but I see it's already off the deep-end. I don't know why I even try anymore.

Van, the strikes will always be justified according to the swamp. We'll always be the good guys. I'm sure at some point Assad will gas his own people and require us to get even deeper. The solution is leave. Stop bombing the brown people. Stop trying to spread "freedom" in the ME. Obviously with Biden taking over that's a pipe dream, and we're going to see more ME interventionism, but that doesn't mean we have to lap up everything the swamp sells us.

BirdsFanBill Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 The US of A. At home we're bickering endlessly if people during a global pandemic should receive stimulus payments if they make 50k or 75k, while spending plenty of money bombing people none of us have ever heard of.

Not going to be a lucid one for you today, is it. Such a shame. Just now, VanHammersly said: So, you think our response to being attacked should have been leaving the ME? Yes. The best time to leave the ME was immediately after going there. The second best time is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikas83 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 It's really not that hard. The following 2 statements can both be accurate: 1. The US needs to retaliate against actors that attack us. Allowing attacks on our assets to go unanswered is ridiculously awful policy that only encourages more attacks. 2. Those assets shouldn't have been there in the first place, because we shouldn't be trying to police a centuries old religious conflict among radicals. The intellectual dishonesty in this debate is staggering, if unsurprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree. If they hit you, you have to hit back. And pulling out now is far less likely than it had to be and you can blame your boy Trump for that one. If you were actually interested in leaving the ME, you would've supported the Iranian nuclear deal. It was our best chance for a measure of stability. Now it seems unlikely.

If we're there, we are going to get hit or the swamp will say we got hit so we can spread freedom. I mean we may as well take bets now as to when they'll tell us Assad gassed a children's hospital or something. It's incredibly predictable.

Well I guess you'd better hope that Biden can somehow convince Iran to get back into the nuclear agreement, because, again, that's the only chance we have for actually leaving. It's one thing to leave when the greatest risk is regional conflicts, but it's something else entirely when the risk is regional conflicts and a rogue nuclear state.
