Biden orders strike on Iranian-aligned group after 3 US troops injured in drone attack in Iraq
President Joe Biden has ordered retaliatory strikes against Iranian-backed militia groups after three U.S. servicemembers were injured in a drone attack in northern Iraq
Am I just a pessimist, or is it starting to appear as if escalation of conflict in the Middle East is inevitable?
Iran seems determined to stir up as much shit as possible. This is a huge strategic benefit to their allies in Moscow.
From 10/7 to Red Sea shipping disruptions. all of this is part of russias geopolitical strategy. Right wing Russia friendly governments will come to power because of this. NATO will be weakened. In some ways all of this is in the hopes that you might chose not to vote for Joe Biden next fall.
It does appear so. Watch oil prices.
We gotta have a war. Either China or Middle East, doesn't matter. /s
As long as Biden is an israeli doggo then of course it will escalate. It's like asking why supporting Nazi Germany is a powder keg. De-escalation is not possible while giving those guys billions in weapons to continue their genocide with.
How many times in the past 8 years have you thought were just about to enter wwiii?
"Shall we leave our illegal military base here?"
"No we stole this land fair and square we have the right to defend it"
If the Iraqi government didn't want US bases in their territory they could literally just tell them to leave
They did in 2019. In 2021 all Americans were supposed to have left

2021: Iraq's prime minister says there is no need for any foreign combat forces on Iraqi soil
I think Iraqis want US and Iran out of their country. They dont have a say in it at the moment
