This administration’s go-to move is to warn of potential escalation in the region, whether it’s in Ukraine, the Middle East or elsewhere. If you hit Iran hard enough and you tell them that overwhelming lethal force is the option of choice, combined with strong economic sanctions, if U.S. troops are killed, there won’t be an escalation. PERIOD. …

37 of 350 is approximately 15% of the troops stationed at that base. The fact that they were killed in their sleep is infuriating beyond belief. The commander of that base should be relieved of duty immediately. Further up the chain of command, the Appeaser-in-Chief should be fired this November. U.S. soldiers’ lives depend on that.

[Indeed. Biden has been a disgrace on the world stage starting in his bug-out in Afghanistan that abandoned thousands of Americans to the Taliban. He has tried retreating vis-a-vis Iran for three years, and it has brought the world to the brink of a regional war. Biden’s a demented idiot who may still be marginally better than the next person in line. — Ed]
