The U.S. military has conducted defensive precision airstrikes against three facilities near the Iraq-Syria border region Sunday evening. 

According to Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby, the facilities are used by several Iran-backed militia groups engaged in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) attacks against U.S. personnel and facilities in Iraq, including Kata'ib Hezbollah (KH) and Kata'ib Sayyid al-Shuhada (KSS).

Chad Pergram on Twitter: "Pelosi on US airstrikes on facilities used by Iran-backed militia groups near Iraq-Syria border. Says this is a “proportional response to a serious and specific threat. The Iran-backed militias utilizing these facilities have been engaged in attacks threatening US servicembrs”" / Twitter

"As demonstrated by this evening's strikes, President Biden has been clear that he will act to protect U.S. personnel. Given the ongoing series of attacks by Iran-backed groups targeting U.S. interests in Iraq, the President directed further military action to disrupt and deter such attacks," Kirby added. "The United States took necessary, appropriate, and deliberate action designed to limit the risk of escalation - but also to send a clear and unambiguous deterrent message."

Good Point.
My first reaction: 0bidan is beholden to the mooselimb brotherhood. Any action taken by 0bidan advances the interests of the mooselimb brotherhood

Let’s see what happens

Yeah, he started wars all over the place and expanded the 1/2 dozen ones he was handed by the 4 previous war mongers.

Go away troll.

“A distraction from Arizona election report.”

Then they missed the timing.
Weekend news is forgotten by Monday morning unless it’s a Pearl Harbor or 9/11 scenario. They should have timed it to break a little later today and have every network breathlessly opining about the strength and character of the Bidet administration.

Proving my point.

The old, who is more senior trick. Must be a union man. I actually, have been on and off this site for 15 years or so. What does it matter?

You are still the dummy who think President Trump started wars.

*** You are still the dummy who think President Trump started wars. ***

Changing the goal post? Comprehension deficit?
You stated “4 years of peace under President Trump was awful”.

There was not four years of peace under Trump. He expanded the theft, and destruction in/of Syria, continued arming, advising, training, Saudi Arabia in their quest to steal Yemen’s Deep Water Ports. Funded the White Helmets, a terrorist PR group. All that, and more.

Who’s the dummy who tries to cover their comprehension problem with insults and innuendo?

Just a thought.

***US military launches airstrikes against three facilities on Iraq-Syria border***

And where are the Arizona audit results that were going to be announced today? Instead General Nazi Pelosi is explaining military air strikes in the Middle East.

I warned over the weekend to expect diversions and delays with these stolen election documentations. The truth must never come out because the American people might not like learning that they have lost control of their govt because it was openly stolen from them!

According to JR Nyquist, China and Russia have lured us into a conflict, and has set us up for chaos. Nyquist is a reporter that has about 30 years of experience in Russia.

Nyquist paints this as a snake who has already bit us, and now we are reacting after the bite. We should expect much worse inflation. China will release a large dump of dirt on politicians that they have gathered over the years, to create political chaos and instability. The bio weapon looks like it has already been released thru the virus and the vax. They have had non essential personal withdrawn from the US back to homeland as of June 15. Non essential Chinese workers in Russia have been sent back because of limited hunker down space if war happens.

Lots of other dire looking situations are given in this interview that give the impression of a war footing.

Did this strike pass muster with the Marxists within the Dem party?

Sounds like this strike was done because of a negative transgender comment by Iran’s newly elected leader.

Let the woke military actions begin!

Hopefully the LBTGQ military community of the military will get to see a little action in the Levant whhile they complete their totalitarian Critical Race Theory studies..( sarc.)

India moved 50K troops to their border with China in ‘historic shift'

In this brave new world of ours a defensive move is offensive if it offends the CHICOMs. Is Bloomberg now in the pay of Xi as well.
