President Joe Biden is said to be privately fearing a potentially 'catastrophic escalation' as the Israeli government plans a retaliatory attack on Iran.
Iran bombarded Israel with hundreds of missiles and drones on Saturday in response to a drone strike in Syria that killed 12 Iranians, including two top generals.
The strike marks the first time a direct military assault has been launched by Tehran on Israel - despite decades enmity dating back to the country's 1979 Islamic Revolution. Senior US defense officials have told NBC News that they worry an Israeli response to the attacks would be 'frenetic' and 'catastrophically escalatory'.

Iran gave Israel the excuse they needed to deal with Iran's nuclear ambitions.

Sorry #3, but Biden's greatest fear is that he won't get ice cream today. He doesn't know what an Iran is.

"Senior US defense officials" are scared to death that Israel will kick Iran so hard they don't even think of attacking Israel again.

Apparently, an additional cell has been discovered in Biden's brain, bringing the total to THREE. Now he "fears" retribution, but the media thoughtlessly calls it "'catastrophic escalation.' " Surely he doesn't fear much else.

There would've been peace in the Middle East if only Peanut Brain Carter dealt with them at the time.

Since Biden is always wrong on foreign affairs, I guess we have nothing to worry about.

Biden does not have the sense to fear anything other than a lack of ice cream after dinner. The cabal pulling his strings knows exactly what they are doing and they are very satisfied with the chaos they are creating. Evil has a foothold on the world like never before. Usually this country is one of the good guys but all that changed when Obama came on the scene. He set out to make us the world’s fall guy and he is exceeding his own arrogant expectations. We are learning there are evil men out there making evil decisions and they unfortunately have hijacked our government and intend to do as much damage as possible. Obama opened the door to a strategy we had never held before but one that dictators and totalitarians around the world use which is creating war and chaos. Human life is expendable if it gets in the way of their agenda and right now the goal is freedom destroying globalism. To these traitors the United States and Israel are the enemy and putting them at risk with open borders, a crashing economy, racial division, weak military, and war is all part of the process. Everything is going as planned. Their coup d’grace will be rigging the 2024 election. Then they will have it all.

We have a person who is allegedly running the country that has no mind left.
He has placed people in control of our military who bare more worried about getting tra nnies operated on than on the business of war. The Democrats who cheated to put this man in the White House are responsible for the Russian war and the Israel war. We would not be in either if Trump had been elected.
We are a nation with a mindless fool as a leader, and we don't even know where the actual lead is coming from.

Iran is cruisin' for a bruisin'. If we are going to have ongoing wars anyway, might as well take out the hornets' nest behind all of it.

I cannot fathom why someone wants to vote for Joe Biden. Not only does he come across as crusty, Joe Biden is stale and outdated. Now we are involved in ANOTHER conflict abroad.

One more thing, if I am to describe Joe Biden and his political party, I would have to use a fist in my description. Intimidation seems to be the name of the game and they don't hesitate to take God out of society. So I would probably have to put "heartless" alongside of that fist. . .

Joe is scared?!? Have another ice cream cone, Joe. He's happy now.
Joe's not scared. His puppet masters are though. They know Israel will do anything to protect themselves. That's bad news for Iran.

What a crock. Tough talk, bluff and bluster from Joey all designed as dramatic clickbait to give the impression he's gritty and robust. Basically, what's happened in this midEast build-up is some think Iran used the $6B funds in unfrozen assets to fund the Hamas OCT 7 attack (well, this depends on whom you believe, Blinken or the BBC) and Israel is about to get $14B in "security assistance." We excel at indirectly playing both sides of the field while giving the illusion that we're staying oh-so reasonably neutral. And the media portrays Old Sleepy Joe as a hard-boiled badass. Imagine that.

Spend the time necessary to locate some of the top Iranian religious zealots.....give them their own personal Hellfire missile as a 'going away present'.
I'll bet that if four or six of their best buddies get vaporized, this will have a substantial calming effect on the remaining folks.

Well they're supposed to react proportionally right? Sound like they get to cue up a 350 missile free shot at Iran.
Iran doesn't have an Iron Dome. Woopsie.
