Three U.S. soldiers were killed and at least two dozen were injured in a drone attack overnight on a U.S. outpost in Jordan, officials tell CNN. This is the first time U.S. forces have been killed by enemy fire in the Middle East since the beginning of the Gaza war

The only good that could possibly come out of this mess is that Joe takes a page from LBJ and pulls out of the race because it takes too much of his time away from the prosecution of “this war.”

His ego won’t let him do that. It wont prevent him from starting a war…

My 14 year old grand daughter has been talking about joining for the last year. It’s her dream upon graduation. Of course, I have mixed feelings about it.

No offense, but would you please have her parents talk some sense to that naive child?

A nuclear war will happen

Will start in the Middle East

Israel will retaliate with nuclear bombs if Iran uses. Israel will not stop at Iran only

It’s better to bomb the shit out of Iran now and lessen a nuclear war in 5 years

People don’t understand we are headed to nuclear war soon

Iran is the biggest problem. Worse then North Korea

"Fox News is really making a big deal on this. I wouldn’t be surprised if they pump Joe full of drugs so he can address the nation with a prerecorded message"

Obama's people are getting him prepped as we speak.

How many drone attacks is this now? Biden and his administration are doing this on purpose to make us look weak. Obama is getting what he always wanted.

Those bases are the publicly discussed bases.

We also have secret bases

We have troops in Jordan too? Where don’t we have troops?

Our own border.

the drones you can buy off the shelf do make lots of noise, a neighbor has one he flys on the street, yes i can hear it, as it flys away not so much. but they are not silent

Not much purpose to GPS when you’re aiming at moving targets, and btw Russia’s GLONASS system would be preferred.

I don’t think you understand the minimal requirements of the technology. PCs trashed 30 years ago would have chips of sufficient quality to simply target a laser reflection. Your garage door opener senses a laser along the bottom of your garage to know if it should stop closing.

This stuff is simple. Incredibly simple. Iran does have semiconductor foundries and Russia certainly does, but you have zero need for anything younger than 30 years old to hit these huge, lumbering sea targets. They bought these chips from your landfill.

Why are we in Jordan, and who is the “enemy” mentioned in the OP?

Is it actually our “enemy,” or another one of Israel’s enemies that we get to share?

There are thousands of US servicemen just like these guys all over the ME. The Iranians and their proxies can devastate every one off those bases. Every U.S. sailor in the eastern Mediterranean, Red Sea, Gulf of Aden and Persian Gulf are in severe jeopardy of Iranian missiles. Iran has hypersonic missiles. Don’t you understand what that means?

The government of Jordan says this attack did not happen on its territory that the attack was on a base in Syria.

The reality is someone or some country is always inciting war for USA troops and paid for by USA taxpayers. The “who” is kept a secret just like the new Senate bill they claim will secure our border. Secrets keep us clueless.

The only place our USA troops should be located is defending our nation’s borders and security. I’m sick of Fox News too always fretting about the Middle East instead of the USA.

Bring back Trump. Stop Netanyahu, negotiate the Abraham Accords revitalization. Be stern, yet the negotiate with Tehran. You know, do what Trump was doing before the coup.

An appropriate response?

Send 500 drones into Iran.

10 will be armed to destroy Iranian refined products production, supply (import terminals) and storage. Biggest facilities get priority.

490 will be armed with, essentially, big paintballs. Use the most difficult to remove “paint” practical. But it should contain ~5% pigs blood or components thereof. Priority on Iranian Federal Gov’t’s most important buildings and leaders’ homes.

I believe the message will be understood.

Oh ya! Like the billions appropriated for the foreign wars we are funding?
Or the billions we are funding for the border jumpers to put them up in fancy hotels in the cities? Or the three squares we give them everyday? Or the flights to and from places all over the country?

Yet no money to clean up the streets and get EVEN HOMELESS VETS, off the streets of this country.
