Iranian ballistic missile attack underway against US forces in Iraq.

We'll no doubt release more of their assets, and beg them to stop being mean to us.

Yep.

Not that we are capable of any better response at this point. We don’t have “leaders” in or out of the military at high levels of authority, so even if we did respond with force it would be half assed and without direction or clear realistic goals.

Democrats ALWAYS respond in a pussified manner, if they respond at all.

I am careful of applying the "always" and "never" tags. It was a democrat administration that brought Hitler and Tojo to their knees. But contemporarily, yes I believe that to be the case.

By today’s DNC standards those democrats of old would be considered the equivalent of Nazis today.

The world sees weakness and is taking as much as they can before any possible change.

US STATEMENT: ATTACK ON AL-ASSAD AIRBASE, IRAQ

"At approximately 6:30 p.m. (Baghdad time) time Jan. 20, multiple ballistic missiles and rockets were launched by Iranian-backed militants in Western Iraq targeting al-Assad Airbase.

Most of the missiles were intercepted by the base’s air defense systems while others impacted on the base. Damage assessments are ongoing.

A number of U.S. personnel are undergoing evaluation for traumatic brain injuries. At least one Iraqi service member was wounded."

Okay, but starting at least with Carter it applies (some will argue JFK was the last one to have international balls).

Don't think FDR had much of a choice since Pearl Harbor forced his hand. Given the state of the economy at the time a massive war, while no doubt necessary, also checked the "put the economy on steroids" box. FDR was essentially a socialist as I'm sure we all know. That is why he is idolized by Democrats; not so much for WWII but his "saving the country" from the Great Depression. Even JFK, martyred though he was, isn't worshipped by the Left like FDR.

Trump can use this.. "They never did this shit while I was in office last time"...

They actually did, though. Admittedly, it was retribution for whacking Soleimani, but people through a fit and blamed Trump for the injuries to US military back in 2020.

They did. And they shot down one of our UAVs in international airspace. And captured Western cargo ships. Trump called off the retaliatory strike for the aircraft downing last minute for fear of upsetting his base.

I do not understand the hesitance (fear?) of the U.S. to retaliate against Iran for the past 45 years. I just don't get it. That includes, [obviously] pussy Carter, Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II, Obunghole, Trump (yea, even Lord Cheeto although I give him credit for whacking Soleimani), and of course FJB.

I just don't get it. Are they some unstoppable, unkillable juggernaut we've not been told about?

Yes. Shooting at AMCITs and our military is worthy of unleashed fury under the f*** around and find out doctrine. Why we don't is beyond my mental calibrations.
