Biden’s renewed embrace of Israel threatens to deepen Democratic divide
Biden’s renewed embrace of Israel threatens to deepen Democratic divide
Iran’s attack may give the president a reason to return to his default position of ‘ironclad’ Israeli support – could that hurt him in November?
You're viewing part of a thread.
Why would I want Biden to start a war with Iran? Israel is about to ramp things up and his support is ironclad. The US joining an Israeli war against Iran is a legitimate concern.
Where are you getting reports that Israel is ramping up for direct war with Iran?
Everything I have read has said neither side is approaching further escalation at this time. Perhaps you have intel that hasn't made its way to open source yet?

I know outlier blogs like the BBC are generally disfavored, but at least hear them out.
The risk of escalation in the Middle East is very real.
You linked to an op-ed piece, not a journalist piece. Not your fault though. BBC needs to be a lot better at differentiating.
I can’t link to classified intelligence to provide ironclad evidence. This isn’t the war thunder forums.
The risk of a wider war developing in the Middle East is a very real risk. The fact that you won’t acknowledge that shows you argue in bad faith.
Of course its a real risk, I just think trying to spin it so that Biden is at fault before it happens is nakedly partisan.
If Biden attacks Iran, he is at fault for starting a war. He’s the commander in chief. If he doesn’t attack Iran, he’s not at fault, because he did not start a war.
I don’t understand how that’s complicated.
Biden told Netanyahu he would not be involved in a direct war with Iran, so unless Iran attacks the US directly, Biden should be fine.

Well, except for the votes he's already losing by supporting Netanyahu's existing genocide.
Why are you changing the subject instead of responding to what I said?
We're talking about Biden losing votes if he starts a war with Iran. He will not lose the votes that he would have lost if he started a war with Iran, but he is not "fine." He is still losing votes by supporting Netanyahu's existing genocide.
If you don't like hearing that genocide is unpopular, you need to hear it.
You are being intentionally and obviously obtuse.
Hmmmm, maybe that last week they bombed the Iranian embassy in another country?
