US bases in the region have been targeted multiple times in the last 24 hours. The attacks come as a spokesman for Hamas's military wing - the al-Qassam Brigades - called for escalation on "all resistance fronts".

Biden & his WH need to start going after Iran directly. Just hitting back at their proxies is meaningless to the IRI, since they are little more than cannon fodder to the regime.

Basically a honey pot to discover what strategies will be used. Drones can be knocked down with man-portable EMP weapons that disrupt communications or erase autonomous data.

Now that Iran is rich thanks to Biden’s policies, they want a war with us. Biden’s Chinese pay masters are smiling.

This should help recruiting. Join the military? Go serve as cannon fodder for Iran with no hint of retaliation from FJB.

There should be no Iran military in Syria that’s still alive. As long as they’re not in hospitals like the Gaza.

There should be zero US military personnel in Syria.

Americans are killed everyday by the invading army of illegals via our southern border.

Attackers and weapons demilitarized. Hezbollah says they took heavy losses.

During the occupation, US bases in Iraq killed a *lot* of attackers. Some of them had 5 mile wide death zones around them that were monitored around the clock.

Biden’s Chinese pay masters are smiling.

They're also laughing at us for sending our manufacturing, technology, and money over there for the sake of saving $.10 on Chicom made paintbrushes.

Biden threatened to decrease the billions going to Iran by ten percent. And to increase the amount going to him by the same amount.

Destroying or capturing Kharg Island would cut off Iran’s source of income from oil and send the right message. There is no chance it will happen.
