You need a haircut Joe.
Get out of the Arab land
The attack occurred at Al-Tanf base in Syria, not Jordan
What the heck they were doing in that region? They should protect America. They don’t have to stay in others country.
FOX News had to use subtitles when Biden spoke to reporters about this attack. You can’t make this Schiff up!
Another bumbling Biden! Time to go Joe!
Is Joe really sincere? Remember the 13 in Afghanistan! Will he be looking at his watch when these 3 heroes are brought home? Lets hope he is sincere and support their family members, and does’nt worry about the time of day. East Palastine, open borders, etc. What?
😂 😂 😂
We’re being attacked. Wake up Joe.
What where USA doing in Jordan? Protect your own borders and stay away from the rest of the world.
This is dishonest in its reporting, as it is an illegal military base in Syria that has been asked to vacate for years. The Jordanian government clarified that as soon as the news broke. All these bases should be vacated and shift focus on domestic issues.
😢😢😢😢
Here we are just minding our own business and we get attacked. I’m tired of us getting kicked all over our territories.
The US being there is a threat to world peace.
Please don’t say Iran. Call it “the Islamic regime”. The mullahs have damaged Iran’s reputation in the world. Don’t forget that they have taken Iran and it’s people hostage since 1979.
Jordanian government is fully responsible for
What are they doing in Syria 🇸🇾 😅
They literally say its to support our SDF allies in their continuous fight against ISIS and countering Irans influence in the region. Watch the 3 minute video.
This happened in SYRIA…liars.
🎉🎉🎉
😂😂
All this is happening because;
US destroyed Iraq government and Supported the destruction of other states in the region like Syria, Libya, and Yemen. All I see is that the misery inflicted by US to the region is now backfiring!
Woww
日本からもご冥福をお祈りします。
Biden KEEPS getting good Americans killed.
Obama will not let biden retaliate on fellow muslims
If Biden hadn’t lifted Trump’s sanctions, there would have never been three dead soldiers and dozens of injured ones…
Was reported it was a us drone by those on the ground …very suspicious
Senator Biden started it
This will define biden political survival…
This is ridiculous! Why do we have military bases over there to begin with?! We have enough problems here at home. Bring ALL the troops home, it’s not our job to interfere with other people’s countries
Joe Biden has the spine of a burnt marshmallow … expect more of this …
deepest condolences to the families
Stop putting US lives at risk!
My condolences to the families.
But More US lives will be lost in support of The Israeli genocide.
The Globalists Military Industrial Complex using propaganda to create hype for war. Won’t work. Iran said it had nothing to do with it.
But they need more money. And we all know who’s going to pay for it. The US public, more of our children will get hurt because THEY want more…
Stop supporting Israel. Never Again, doesn’t mean that the israelíes can.
Evil will never prevail.
amatuers
Weak stupid Biden,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,WEAKNESS DRAWS AGGRESSION
The White House sees this in a different light. They see 3 is less than 13, and being such is a Net Gain.
1. USA should not be helping Israel genocide
2. Enemies dont fear Biden
3. We shouldnt have bases in Jordan Syria to begin with
This won’t happen if Trump was the President. They know Trump would barren to ground whatever country who dares to do this.
Firstly why are black americans slaving for white war hawks?
Them Extremist do have a draw up plan objectives. Right now the extremist recruiting while sending attacks towards US bases as a starting point as a softening defenses tactic to invade compounds and finish off the rest for equipment and weapons the US is now known from those extremist as another tactic of attacking Americans to steal equipment and weapons. The recruiting is on going as the objective with new recruits is for the storming US compounds ( Iran showed this tactic) The soldiers already in danger for just being there of not defending and the plan to take over compounds is so obvious knowing the history of extremist way of thinking of their ideology. US needs one of the 2, get soldiers out asap or do nothing, the other is to prepare by sending re enforcements to defend. The 2nd choice or need is likely not happening right now over the US drones on militia’s sites. The media should and can question this likelihood of their thinking in the extremist of great concern because they are planning this topic.
Innocent lives for what, Lord knows. Women should be given power to rule for just a few years and see how peaceful it will be.
They are trying to remove forginers
They keep saying make America great again
Why is America in a foreign land
Go back to America.
Would not be happening if Trump were president
Why are US troops even there? Protecting who and what?
Happy to see lloyd Austin decided to come back to his tax payer funded job!
Now do something!!!
Call Trump, ask him what should be done!!!
Biden must be arrested
Election year already?
We still falling for this 🐑 🐏 🐑
Look how Israel has drugged America in the war of lies now they’ve sacrificed black soldiers we all know who attacked thia camp and it was Israel and USA money for war nothing for peace
As a Jordanian girl (living in us rn), I apologize for this unfortunate event
If it were Trump in office he’d be accused by the media and entire Left of having the blood of three African-American soldiers on his hand…because he’s a wacist, of course. Well, they can all blame Biden…oh, that right, they won’t.
America killed their own and blamed it on other countries so they can justify murdering innocent people
I can’t wait for a new president .
Jeeezz can we please get bidden outta there.. He look sleep
Biden definitely will start war plus he looks like he should be in a nursing home not in the White House serving as our president
They got killed Palestine not Jordan
A recent report cites a weak U.S. military. Joe Biden is weak, and foreign leaders know it. Look for China to take Taiwan in the coming months, nothing to stop them.
😅😅😅😅😅😅Everyone has right to defend themselves
That attack is an American attack and its was an excuse for Biden to attack in Iran. Ps our military has no right to even be over there in their country!
I thought EVERYONE in the Army is a Sgt.
When asked how the drone strike was able to penetrate American defenses, Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh, looking clueless, said, ” … well, the rocket was fired early in the morning … “
Nah they was gone tell something.
cry me a river. US media trying to get support.. 😂😂😂😂
Let’s hope we don’t go to war with Iran because of a USS Liberty 2.0
I hate to see this, especially when you consider what they died protecting. The 46 year old, I totally get understand. He most certainly got caught up in the 911 hype train. But these 20 year old females had NO BUSINESS joining Joe Biden’s military. Matter of fact, I think he is about to snub their repatriation ceremony 🎑 n a few days, because that’s how much he cares about our troops.
There is a simple explanation why the US cant leave the middle east alone: Every government there was created by tyranism and are tyrans themselves. And all of them were created and still are backed by countries like russia, or usa. If they leave they know they will collapse, cause the people there are against them, like syria, iraq, israel,…. So they will lose influence and controll in the middle east. Afghanistan is a good example, they lost controll even while they were still there, know imagine the middle east.
Sounds like a false flag attack?
American ask what business troop are there , what the normal American citizen don’t understand if Middle east is not stable and in peace your whole economy will be in problem example if oil price go up to 100 dollar and above your food and fuel will go up and Meddle class citizen in USA is 50% (according to google) they cant afford to buy food or use there car when people cant buy food then crime rate will go up in usa there will be no peace in your country , USA make big mistake when they dont end iran long time ago like iraq the only country that will make middle east in endless war Iran need money now more then before that why they make problem to rise oil price through Houthi and other criminal group they have
These three lives lost are because of democrats failed policies. The middle-class is being squeezed for 4 years. More debt than the previous administration, more 401k losses. Less savings than the previous administration. Struggling too keep up when just 3 years ago I could afford home improvements and wants. I can barely afford essentials now. My medical manufacturing job of 20+ years suddenly laying off cutting shifts. Never happened before this administration. Yet they claim things are good? Not from my perspective!!!!
Rest in peace to the fallen soldiers & prayers for the injured.
The only reason Biden isn’t delivering swift and severe retaliation on Iran, is because the dead soldiers are black.
Ever ask yourself what would happen if they were white?
Vote for Joe, and end up taking the dirt nap. Who knew? We all did!!
Rip
How do I know Mar-a-Lardo is losing? HIs whackadoos only have You Tube to vent their spleens. LOL
THE CORRUPT JOE BIDEN SHOULD BE FIRED
Ha ha ha wht were USA air defence system doing? Spending almost 900billions dollars for defence
NBC is 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩 Biden and his administration are 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩 and a failure.
How about leaving the Arabs alone?
It is sickening that Bidens’ failed policies caused these deaths
deaths
US is the biggest terror exporter in the world.
Joe Biden needs to step up and be the leader of the free world! The United States needs to give Iran more financial aid. Like Obama said “ A Wealthy Iran is a Friendly Iran.”
165 attacks against us. We’ve done 6 attacks. All I hear is we don’t want to escalate it? Do you think Iran thought about that all 165 times? How pathetic . If you don’t level iran!!! Then get my brothers home. They are just political guinea pigs
The president and V.P said “don’t” many times how could this have happened?
After years of trying Israel almost succeed to drag the US into a war with Iran so they can fight until last US dollar is spend and US boddybag is stuffed
No proof fake news just to start another War😮
This is less believable than the WMD in Iraq story. It happened in Syria where they’re there and illegally they’re saying Jordan because it makes it look better for Americans smdh “we mistook the drone as an American drone returning to base” is absolutely ridiculous
KJP said these military folks worked for administration. did she go to college? maybe Ivy League, state college or at least beauty college?
How can an enemy drone pass by the #1 military in the world? Hmmm it sounds like it was a caused by our own military. I mean it’s not the first time America sacrifices Americans to benefit off of something.
Does anyone here seriously think Biden is all there and could handle another 4 years 😂
What IS AMERICA LYING FOR, THIS BASE IS IN SYRIA NOT JORDAN. SO I WONDER IF IT WAS AN AMERICAN DRONE THAT KILLED THE TROOPS
Why are reservists from Georgia even in a remote base in Jordan? Is there a shortage of active military personnel?
More war under Biden. Imagine if all these soldiers were dying while trump was in office.
As Vivek Ramaswamy said, we need to get rid of “tripwires”.
When you have troops stationed all over the Middle East, you increase the amount of “tripwires” that can possibly be triggered (enemy attacks).
If U.S soldiers weren’t there in the first place, these tripwires wouldn’t exist. But this is exactly what the military industrial complex wants, tripwires everywhere!
The more tripwires you have, the more likely you are to be attacked, which gives the government more opportunities to drag us into a pointless, money sucking war, and the military industrial complex can make some serious cash!
Absolutely disgusting…
Those troops were in Syria not Jordan stop lying.
U.S. lies, it happened in Syria
It maybe Iran but Netanyahu is behind it all! Netanyahu controls all the war in Jordan and as always, He will stop at anything to hurt anyone he can
In SYRIA! get that right
Yankees, go home! Nobody wants you there. Go defend Texas instead!
DONT
Veterans. Some of us are smarter than these media reports. With all the technology available why are our soldiers defenseless, sitting ducks? Targets while sleeping? Some of you younger vets know much better. These deaths are absolutely avoidable!
Israel propaganda to provoke a war againist the arabic country .well known as back stabber and fire starter.it is been peace time with jordan and iran. they want to blame arab and change the world eye to arab
Just so happens that all 3 were from Georgia, wonder what’s going on there with Fani Willis. Seems strange don’t you think. There are no such thing as coincidences. They are mad about Fani getting in trouble. Evil people go to the extreme!!
