    They attacked the military housing next to an embassy. Not the actual embassy. The building they blew up was used to stage attacks against their people. Spare me the 'they broke international law' bullshit

    It was part of the embassy compound. Speak facts, not uninformed garbage. They did not claim responsibility for a reason. The embassy is not used for attacks and the same crap can be said from the other perspective. People are so gullible and stupid.

    The Iranian leaders are terrorists but so is the Israeli leadership. We need the powers in this world to work to stop carnage, not more tribal bullshit like your post.

    So not the embassy.....

    And that building housed the iranian commander who helped train hezbollah. Why would anyone care if that guy was dead?

    Oh I'm confident that Obama is the driving force on virtually all policy in the Biden Administration.

    ...are you a little child?

    The embassy was not used to train Hezbollah, that's silly. Plus, this world is full of countries supporting all sorts of groups. There are international norms and laws which countries follow. Once you make an exception then you set a precedence to what is the new normal.

    You don't believe that Biden is actually directing anything, right? So who is? Obama. He just got done visiting the prime ministers of England and Italy and perhaps others. Who do you believe is driving U.S. policy?

    There's no question that this policy was driven by Barack Obama, who is the true leader of the U.S.

    You don't believe that what you believe without any evidence holds any weight right? Even if you are confident.

    You’re acting like a moron. It’s the equivalent of trying to argue a murderer confessing in an email wasn’t a confession because he/she misspelled an adjective.

    you’re trying to use an irrelevant technicality…it was an act of war. Our govt, the Israeli govt knew that when they carried it out. The world wasn’t on “high alert” for retaliation afterwards for no apparen reason

    As an ally that expects the US to fight its battles, the Israeli govt shared nothing about the assassination and destruction of the embassy building. Baiting us into the war and expecting us to do the fighting

    this is not a country that takes actions for fear of the consequences. Keep an eye on your tax $$$

    The truth is Iran would have struck sooner and harder had Biden not jumped to support Israel so much so early after the October attacks. He sacrificed some of his political support of the far left to do so as well.

    The reason why Iran feels they can get away with this is because of the grasp that the Republican Party aka Trump aka Putin has on US foreign policy by strangle holding aid. It’s just that simple. Not responding to help Ukraine matters because it shows US weakness and emboldens bad actors.

    This one is on Trump and really some of you folks here who support a pro Putin/pro global dictator dck swinging contest with ballistic missiles… Plain and simple. Iran wouldn’t have been in this situation to do this and the US would have leverage as well had Trump not blown up the Obama agreement which wasn’t just with us but the entire West.

    This is on Trump and his ignorant ahole supporters.

    You have a disconnect from truth and reality. Your love and devotion to your party masters blinds you.

    And you watch, Democrats (and some Rinos) will demand payment to Ukraine (some of which gets laundered back to the Washington Establishment) before agreeing to assist Israel.

    Your party masters lied to you. They deceived you into believing that Trump was "pro-Putin". The corrupt FBI was used by your party masters to conjure up a wild story that Trump was a puppet of Putin.

    Your party masters lie to you and yet you believe and support them while they simultaneously rob you (and me) blind. The Washington Establishment is about control and MONEY, namely, yours!

    The Washington Establishment has ANNIHILATED the standard of living of poor and middle-class Americans. So why do you continue to support them?
