Joe Biden doesn’t want a U.S. war with Iran. However, Iran is already at war with the U.S.
Biden, his Secretary of Defense and his Secretary of State are not living in reality. We've been at war with Iran since October 17 and they simply refuse to acknowledge it.

Media logic choppers have been leaning into the term “proxy war” for the last four months in analyzing the conflict going on in the Mideast between Iran and the U.S. What these talking heads cannot seem to come to grips with is the simple fact that, for Iran, it isn’t a proxy war.
A U.S. listening post at the confluence of Syria, Jordan and Iraq was struck by a deadly drone attack Saturday. Hit in the middle of the night was an installation known as Tower 22, manned by approximately 350 U.S. Army personnel from the 718th Engineer Company, 926th Engineer Battalion, 926th Engineer Brigade, Fort Moore, Georgia.
Killed were Sgt. William Jerome Rivers, 46, of Carrollton, Georgia; Spc. Kennedy Landon Sanders, 24, of Waycross, Georgia; and Spc. Breonna Alexsondria Moffett, 23, of Savannah, Georgia. Over 40 other soldiers were also wounded, some of whom each remain in what is described as “grave condition.”
Outcries from both sides of aisle in the House and the Senate for retaliation were immediate. But while the Biden administration says an “appropriate response” will definitely be carried out, at the same time they are saying they don’t want a war with Iran.
Newsflash for the White House: You’ve already got one!
Since October 17 of last year, 10 days after the brutal and inhumane attack on Israel by Hamas, at least 160 drone strikes by various militia groups funded and controlled by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard have hit U.S. and other international targets in Iraq, Syria and on the Red Sea. Now these attacks have expanded to Jordan. Over 100 U.S. military personnel have been injured, including over 30 TBIs, may serious.
Thus far, the U.S. and its allies have retaliated fewer than 10 times, mostly against empty or abandoned buildings, ammo dumps and military camps. The intent of these retaliatory attacks seems geared toward avoiding injury to militia members or Iranian personnel. It is unknown what the effects of those allied response has been, though the have done nothing to slow or halt Iran aggression.
While multiple entities, including State and Defense, in the U.S. government have repeatedly said, “We do not want a war with Iran,” it is apparent those words have fallen on deaf ears in Iran. Iran senses weakness in the Biden administration and believes it can take advantage of it.

So far, they have been absolutely right.
Why shouldn’t they believe Biden is weak? His dishonorable withdrawal from Afghanistan is just one example of his total lack of commitment to U.S. military power. Two and a half years after that disaster, the families of the 13 marines slain during the evacuation remain without answers. Millions more Americans suffer from the guilt and moral injury caused by the Biden administration’s callous failure to take any responsibility for its poor decision-making.
Adding insult to injury, the State Department cynically released the unclassified version of the report on the Friday evening of the July 4th holiday weekend, expecting the media to help them bury their shame.
The U.S. Department of State After-Action Review on Afghanistan — riddled with half-truths and omissions, simultaneously boastful and defensive — is perfectly emblematic of the Biden administration’s non-policy that led to the Afghanistan debacle and the unnecessary deaths and injuries to not only U.S. military personnel but hundreds of Afghan civilians.
Since their takeover, the Taliban have erased Afghan women and girls, disappearing them behind a veil of gender apartheid. The response from the allegedly gender positive Biden administration? Appeasement and dissembling, all the way down. These incompetents are in the midst of ongoing negotiations to normalize relations with the ruling Taliban, a backwards, evil, savage band of thugs mired in a corrupt 14th Century culture.
If anything, the Iranian government is even more ruthless and evil than the Taliban, if only for the reason the radical Muslim government has mastered modern weaponry and technology. Tehran sees the feckless nature of the U.S. under the incompetent and corrupt leadership of Joe Biden.
The ayatollahs know he will do nothing to avenge Rivers, Sanders and Moffet, nor the hundreds of soldiers and Marines who have been injured in Iran’s previous attacks through its puppet terrorist organizations.
Biden’s handlers and surrogates will build up his intent with utterly useless power phrases written into countless statements meant to build up a strong, virile image of our demented president in the public’s eye. They will project a completely false image of him as being in control, reasonable and yet patriotic.
In the end, he will do nothing. Not that he won’t do something but that what he eventually does will be of no impact nor of any importance to Iran. It certainly won’t be the effective, clear-cut and devastating response that would make Iran pause and reevaluate its actions supporting terrorists seeking the annihilation of Israel and its efforts to cower Israel’s allies into silent submission.
Biden is not competent to be our commander-in-chief. It isn’t just because he is incompetent mentally, either.
Joe Biden has spent every waking hour of his public service selling out this country to the highest bidder, for the sole purpose of enriching himself and his family. It is no coincidence that his primary benefactor in that effort is China. He can deny it all he wants, the media can attempt to bury those allegations under a heap of lies and excuses. Facts are facts, and they have been coming out almost from the moment this corrupt traitor stole the 2020 election.
China is directing Biden’s destruction of the U.S. government. China is dictating his abandonment of the Southern border. China is influencing his foreign policy. China owns Joe Biden, body and soul.
We are paying the price. Ultimately, if we do nothing about it, if Congress remains a docile lapdog to the corporate interests that are also under China’s direct influence and control, if the media continues its corrupt and irrational denials of these truths, we will lose this country.
We are perilously close to that reality now. Doing nothing is not an option. Decide today what you will do. It will take all of us to prevent a constitutional crisis, a national disaster.
