Three American soldiers are killed in Jordan Syria [Question: why are we illegally occupying parts of Syria?] and 34:are injured.
The blowhards are blowing hard that we'te being forced into attacking Iran. [Question: Who is forcing us? Does or does not the President determine foreign policy?]
Those troops scattered all over the Middle East (AKA Western Asia) might feel tough and mighty, but in reality there aren't enough of them in any one place to do much of anything. I hate to tell them this, but they're "tripwires". Cynically deployed soldiers whose role is to be martyred.
Oy.

Pearl Harbor and the “Back Door to War” Theory
Was there a “back door” to World War II, as some revisionist historians have asserted? According to this view, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, inhibited by the American public’s opposition to direct U.S. involvement in the fighting and determined to save Great Britain from a Nazi victory in Europe, manipulated events in the Pacific in order to provoke a Japanese attack on the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, thereby forcing the United States to enter the war on the side of Britain.

The short version of the encyclopedia article: Republicans were lying about FDR since they hated Democrats for Social Security and every other expensive part of FDR's New Deal. Funny how 83 years have passed, FDR is dead, and yet Republicans still are enraged by all government intervention in society. It must be the GOP's DNA being passed down through generations of new Republicans.

Biden Cleverly Distracts From Civil War By Starting World War

WASHINGTON, D.C. — As tensions between the federal government and 25 red states over securing the border continued to stoke fears of another Civil War, President Biden cleverly distracted a concerned American public by announcing the start of a new World War.
"It's time to bomb Iran!" said the President to a bowl of melted ice cream on his nightstand. "Those whipper-snappers have been living on borrowed time ever since they chased me and the boys around the pool with switchblades. And if that doesn't do the trick, we'll bomb Russia and China as well. Not a joke!"
Many critics who overheard the conversation questioned the wisdom of such a move, but some in the Republican Party applauded the President's firm stance. "Did someone say 'bomb Iran?'" said Senator Lindsey Graham. "Ooooh baby, I usually wait until the third date for that kind of talk! Is it hot in here?"

'Moment Of No Return' Imminent As Biden Has 'Decided' On Response, Says Iran Supplied Weapons Used In Attacks
Tuesday, Jan 30, 2024 - 09:05 AM
A "decision" has been made, apparently, with CBS reporting: "Biden tells reporters that he has decided on how to respond to the attack that killed US troops in Jordan." And Sky News writes, 'Moment of no return approaching' as Biden weighs retaliation for soldier deaths.
Additionally, Biden said the White House sees Iran as responsible for supplying the weapons used in the drone strike on the Tower 22 base along the Jordan-Syria border [actually, most of area occupied by Americans is in Syria ... illegally. Only a few installations or just on the Jordan side, but Jordan didn't want anyone to know it was hosting USA troops*], an attack which also saw over 40 American troops injured.
Admin officials have repeatedly asserted they do not seek wider war with Iran, even while direct accusations fly against Tehran, and there's talk of military 'options' and warlike threats go over the airwaves.
...because "pressure," writes Bloomberg: "US President Joe Biden faces intensifying pressure to confront Iran directly after the country’s proxies killed three American soldiers in a drone strike in Jordan over the weekend, risking precisely the wider regional conflict that he’s trying to avoid."
"A person familiar with the US position, who asked not to be identified discussing private discussions, said it was clear that a strike — which also wounded at least 34 — would force a stronger response than what the US has done so far in the weeks," continues Bloomberg.
"Pressure" from WHO?
ISRAEL?
AIPAC?
STATE DEPT NEOCONS?
WAR-MONGERING CONGRESS OF BOTH PARTIES?
Oh, please, stop gaslighting us again! You've been angling for a war with Iran for 40 years.
This is just Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya all over again: More pointless war.

I'd like to take a second to remind everyone that there were no new wars under Trump.
Constitutional or Unconstitutional.
