The problem with social media for people who are full of crap is that there will always be a post to come back and bite them on their hypocritical asses. Illegitimate president Joe Biden ordered an airstrike in Syria on Iranian-back militias. It however wasn’t that long ago that Biden was tweeting about how President Trump doing the same thing was going to start a war in the Middle East.
Fox News reports:
The U.S. military carried out an airstrike against an Iranian-backed militia stronghold in Syria Thursday, a senior official told Fox News.
In the first known military action by President Biden, multiple facilities were struck by American F15 fighter jets that targeted Iraqi border-based Shia militia groups, Kait’ib Hezbollah and Kait’ib Sayyid al Shuhada.
Both forces are suspected of having received funding and military support from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard.
The senior official said the strike was “shot across the bow” and a defensive strategy, intended to deter Iran and its militia from launching rockets at U.S. forces in the region, like the recent attacks in Iraq.
But back in 2019…
Trump’s erratic, impulsive actions are the last thing we need as Commander-in-Chief. No president should order a military strike without fully understanding the consequences. We don’t need another war in the Middle East, but Trump’s actions toward Iran only make that more likely.

Now here’s the real kicker, Biden slamming Trump for launching military strikes against Iran is completely bullshit. At the time, Iran had shot down a U.S. drone and we were prepared to retaliate, but Trump stopped it from happening.
This is from CNN on June 21, 2019, 2 days before Biden’s tweet:
President Donald Trump said Friday that he called off the attack on Iran just as the US was “cocked & loaded” to strike because he decided there would be too many deaths for a proportionate response to the downing of a US drone earlier this week.
“We were cocked & loaded to retaliate last night on 3 different sights (sic) when I asked, how many will die. 150 people, sir, was the answer from a General,” Trump tweeted.
“10 minutes before the strike I stopped it.” Causing so many casualties, he added, would not have been “proportionate to shooting down an unmanned drone.”
So not bombing Iranian assets under Trump will lead to war in the Middle East, but Biden bombing Iranian assets will ensure peace in the region? That’s some next-gen bullshit right there.
Biden’s press secretary, Jen Psaki, will almost certainly be asked about this hypocrisy and she will most certainly have to “circle back” for a terrible non-answer. As it turns out, she has a bit of her own bullshit to answer for.
In 2017, President Trump ordered a missile strike on a Syrian airfield in retaliation for the Assad government using chemical weapons on its own citizens.
Also what is the legal authority for strikes? Assad is a brutal dictator. But Syria is a sovereign country.

Has the legal authority suddenly changed because Biden is now occupying the White House?
Joe Biden’s inauguration was a magically transformative event. A vaccine for COVID-19 appeared out of thin air and suddenly things that were bad were cool again. On top of putting kids in cages, which was a crime against humanity under Trump, airstrikes against Iran are now “bold leadership” with Joe in charge.
