Biden orders airstrikes on Iranian-backed militias in Syria

The US military struck a site in Syria used by two Iranian-backed militia groups in response to rocket attacks on American forces in the region in the past two weeks. "Up to a handful" of militants were killed in the strikes, a US official told CNN. The strikes, which mark the US military's first known action under President Joe Biden, swiftly drew criticism from a Democratic lawmaker. The site was not specifically tied to the rocket attacks but Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said he was "confident" it was used by the same Iranian-backed Shia militias that had fired rockets at US and coalition forces.

    1. @Killer Instinct That’s not the discussion though. I can accept that you don’t believe in God. And I can accept that you don’t believe in religion because you don’t believe in God. But your claim is that all religions are harmful in some way. So I’m asking what specifically in my religion, the Baha’i Faith is harmful. Because believing or not is a valid choice, but that alone isn’t bad or damaging in some way. To make that claim, you’ll need to answer how.

    1. January’s Son , we are so sick of distractions and false flags. The realization hasn’t hit them that we’ve noticed. Ingrained patterns don’t change much and beg to be looked at. We’re looking📀📸🎥📺🔦📡🧾

    2. Hermi Cruz , he’s definitely an opportunist and war is an opportunity for all manner of profiteers. Many of them in government.

    1. @I.M. Greg It never happened; he re-called them. He needed to scare the f n idiots; and he did! Try to keep up!!!

    1. @TUSK ACT 4 trump let the Iranians fight it out with isis and they defeated them pretty much. Under Obama they grew huge and id expect they’ll grow again under biden. Trump was no angel either he armed the Saudis which lead to countless innocent people dying in Yemen.

      Both parties are trash the sooner you realise that the better.

    2. @TUSK ACT 4 Obama armed Al Qaeda and ISIS in Libya and Syria. And ISIS lost steam because we were no longer supplying them with weapons.

    1. @Joey Harper they are hypocritical just like republicans. Stop acting like the Republican has become anti war now

    1. @xlr8r2010 do u remember all the missile strikes on syria that trump did? or when he drone striked the guy leading a united front against ISIS? this entire nation has fucking goldfish memory jesus christ. THEY’RE ALL PRO WAR, ALL PRESIDENTS ARE

    2. @trispenis “Planning” yet you bombed and kill him. Police judge and executioner combined can’t match the might of US drones.

    1. @best TALL You clearly didn’t get the joke. This is how Democrats think and that is LITERALLY what they said when they spend all of last summer rioting, storming federal buildings and killing innocent cops.

    2. @Kern that was just regular looters god you internet warrior white people are gonna be talking about BLM till your 90 thank you for showing everyone how scared white people are that they’re becoming the minorities 😂

    1. @Mr. White “good people on both sides” has been debunked over and over again, yet their are still hardcore cultists that repeat it.

    1. @Tosse901
      What do you not get? The so called militia is nothing more than rag tag civilians that were given guns to fight off assad, russians, iraqis or americans.
      Please watch this video. Its called 9 days from my window in allepo https://youtu.be/THdMj0-LmRw
      The question you need to ask is why are we in Syria? Not why is Iran there? Let me aak this too, Biden wants to get back into JCPOA ( at least he criticized Trump for leaving) how does bombing Iranians help? Remember when Trump took out Solemeini in Baghdad? The real real reason we are in Syria is to defend the oil pipeline from Qatar to Europe to stop Russia. In other words “Blood for Oil” Wasnt 20 years in Iraq and Afghanistan enough?

    2. @Tosse901
      Wasn’t that the same argument Trump used when we assassinated Solemeini in Baghdad? Why was he there? What did you think about that? Same opinion?

    3. @Tosse901 i said Obama killed more civs simple as that. your great black hope was a tyrant he bombed the middle east for 8 years. Israel have said if the US try doing the Iran deal again they will strike Iran which in turn will break your alliance with them he was made to look a fool at the G20 conference hes tried telling Boris Johnson what to do and got told no, India don’t like biden one bit and he makes excuses for mass murder by china and i looked up the drone strikes and there are so many different stats all conducted by locals but the one thing that they all say Obama increased drone strike ten fold after making election promises to leave the middle east one thing is sure no one knows how many people have died due to all the propaganda so maybe try not using that argument because people will shut you down for it

    4. @Tosse901 You are completely wrong. Obama’s interventions in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and Libya have killed more people. Trump effectively ended Isis by bombing them. They hold zero ground and are fleeing to Africa. Also Obama’s was just a straight up dumbass. He pulled troops out of Iraq when an weak, unstable government lost to Isis. Thus we poured more and more troops back in. The isn’t even about Obama or Trump. Biden has chosen to claim that America is back and that we are pulling out of the Middle East, when in reality we are going to be building back up into the region.

    1. The slogan was actually “build back better w/dead soldiers” but they had to leave the last part out, you know it was too honest

    1. @Grant Anderson If you want war you go fight or send your family. Syrians also are children of God and their lives matter. How would you feel if bombs were being dropped in your backyard?

    2. @Hermi Cruz Damn you extrapolated a lot from a little. First off 3 time combat veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan so there’s that but also I’m not pulling for more war my only point is that countries that worked with the US instead of against it after major regime changes usually did very well. In fact Germany basically runs Europe now and Japan has been an economic super power for decades and S. Korea is ascendant and is more or less an economic and tech superpower. Countries that worked against us for whatever reason haven’t done so great. I’m just sayin. War is bad usually.

    1. @Aaron E. strikes to US that didn’t cause casualties but more pressure. compare that to planning air strikes to numerous US bases.

    1. Even beter.
      Trump: not 1 single war -msm: yea but he is orange.
      Biden: air strike: – msm: this is what America needs.

    2. @blazn0 If Iran was powerful enough to counter USA there would’ve been a war when trump killed their commander so stop deluding yourself, bombs dropped in every administration and trump did absolutely everything to get US involved into a war with Iran (Iran didn’t bite well couldn’t if being more precise), No administration or president is innocent be it from any party.

  1. 70 million Americans: “Wait where’s that covid relief check you promised us?”
    Biden: “Best I can do is bomb Syria”

    1. 500k people who died of covid: Was there anything you can do Mr. Trump to prevent us from dying?
      Trump: Best I can do is build this wall

    2. @PUNNY 3M Trump was blamed for 200k deaths right? We’re at 500k now with Biden only in office for a month with the vaccines developed and handed to his administration on a silver platter also

    3. I’m taking all the risks here best I can do is bomb Syria and offer 20$ I have to clean the bomb and get it ready and it’s gonna cost a lot to drop it joe Harrison.

    4. @Eneos so Trump couldve prevented the large amounts of deaths if he took the virus seriously and initiated lockdown even long before the first death. Its not Biden’s fault for the rest of the deaths, those were Trump’s, Biden had to try and distribute vaccines as quickly as possible.
