I like how on one hand the US "can't do ****" vis a vis a retaliatory strike against Iran for killing 3 US troops, but at the same time can back Russia into a box and force them to launch a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Why in the hell are we in the ME in the first place? The sandbox is not any of our concern, genius.

You need to take a valium. Where am I advocating for a strike, or endorsing our foreign policy? I'm just saying that it is funny when you juxtapose your stance that the US is powerless to do anything about this most recent incident, even if it wanted to, but powerful enough to force a great power to launch a full-scale invasion of a neighbor.

Thanks for the reminder as to why I very rarely engage you in direct conversation. You're like trying to talk to a drunk, belligerent guy at a bar while stone-cold sober.

If I have people here mad at me for wanting to defend our own borders vs the borders of Ukraine and Israel, then WTF am I supposed to do? You people are clowns.

That's completely beside the point. Just pointing out the inconsistency in the narrative you paint here.

The US is making Russia act, due to its involvement in Ukraine.
The US is making China act, due to its involvement in Taiwan.

But the US “can’t do sh!t” to make Iran do anything.

You are exactly correct. The US only knows how to provoke war, but has no diplomatic skills to promote peace. Again, if all we have is a hammer (military), every problem is treated as it is a nail.

"What's the point of having this superb military you're always talking about if we can't use it?"

I question the competence of our military leadership. We should have either evacuated troops from these vulnerable bases a long time ago (once they started lobbing missiles and drones at us) or retaliated in a meaningful way against them. It was only a matter of time before one of these drones made it through air defenses. It’s unacceptable that American blood had to be shed before they decided to do something about it.

Joe Biden's handlers have made the world a very very dangerous place. I miss mean tweets and middle east peace accords and 3 nobel peace nominations for President Trump's work on the Abraham Accords. Joe Biden's insistence on undoing everything Trump accomplished has lead to 2 major wars. The Obama/Biden/Kerry Iran policy of giving Iran money and easing sanctions that Trump had in place is dangerous. Iran chanting "death to America" as they accepted the money should have been a major clue.

"Joe Biden has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades,”

This is why we can't have any intellectually honest discussion.

An honest discussion would involve our illegal occupation of Syria, which is why these 3 soldiers died unfortunately. Our military is being used for the sake of Israeli dominance in the ME…nothing else.

You should check this post for intellectual integrity. There are a number of issues ranging from flawed to false.
