Biden Is Turning Our Troops into Target Practice

(00:00.962)

I don’t know for what reason this is not being discussed. I know it’s the Christmas season. I get it. I know a lot of the cable news networks like to go to lighter fare over the holidays, but I don’t like the fact that our young men and women, our military personnel are basically being used as fricking target practice in the Middle East. Yeah, I talked about this yesterday on the podcast.

And as more information continues to come out, we are getting pummeled. I mean, pummeled on a regular basis, shot at, bombed, drones by who-thee rebels for crying out loud. I mean, this is what we’re doing. We’re gonna sit there and we’re gonna sit back and we’re gonna send our young men and women and put them in harm’s way.

So we can have proportionate retaliatory attacks, which do nothing? Listen, you know, this has been going on for some time. This has been going on for some time and the lack of response tells a lot about the fear. Cause you want to call it that, Joe Biden’s afraid. He’s afraid. Election year, I’m sorry.

He’s afraid. He’s afraid of the way I want to widen the conflict in the Middle East. Well, let me tell you something. If you don’t want to widen the conflict in the Middle East, then just pull everybody the hell out.

Just pull everybody, but don’t send, don’t send our kids over there that volunteer to be put in harm’s way and get shot at so you can lob a bomb at some sort of weapons depot after the fact. And I mentioned this yesterday. You got the National Security Council, Adrian Watson issuing a statement that the president places no higher priority than the protection of American personnel serving in harm’s way.

That’s just not true. It’s actually insulting. Again, Biden administration makes it perfectly clear that they do not want to escalate with Iran and all of Iran’s proxies, all of Iran’s buddies. Hey, remember what happened last year? The Iran’s proxies, bombing our base in Iraq and all of the trauma that was placed

servicemen and they had all sorts of brain damage and issues that took place because of that. Did we do anything? Nah. Again, I get it. I understand that you don’t want to be involved in a wider conflict in the Middle East. But then if you don’t, you’re not willing to be involved. You don’t want to be involved. Well, then don’t be involved at all. Pull everybody out. Move the ships out of harm’s way.

Again, the Journal talks about this today, about Iranian front groups trying to kill U.S. troops for months. And again, what do we do? Wrist slap. Wrist slap or strongly worded statement. Again, they think that the latest retaliatory strike was a little bit bigger, but the reality of the situation is that, you know, well, Central Command said…

Strikes likely killed a number of militants. No, no, they’re saying that we killed one militant.

We killed one militant. We spent, I don’t know how much we spend on these retaliatory strikes, but again, one militant there. Americans who sign up to serve in uniform know the risks, but serving as drone catchers, because Washington refuses to deter the enemy, isn’t supposed to be among the occupational hazards. And Mr. Biden’s token strikes haven’t deterred Iran’s proxies in Iraq or anywhere else.

The Houthis, another Iran-backed military, are also unimpressed with the new US coalition to protect commercial shipping in the Red Sea. The terrorists are escalating despite US restraint in response. The US military said, this was yesterday afternoon, that we shot down 12 drones, three anti-ship ballistic missiles, and two land attack cruise missiles.

at multiple targets. This was over a 10 hour period. Now, this is, again, the journal makes the point too. They seem frightened of the big, bad United States military at all. Do they seem frightened of Biden and how we might respond?

(05:14.614)

No, again, I don’t understand this. I don’t, and again, I’m gonna be honest with you. Are we talking about our military and how they’re having recruitment issues? They can’t bring anybody on board. I get it, you’re a parent. You want your kids to serve their country, serve a military, to serve an administration that’s not willing to protect them, back them up? This is the United States military for crying out. We spend almost a trillion dollars a year.

more than the next 10 countries combined. And we can’t scare the crap out of some militants from freaking Yemen.

Have we lost our minds? Again, you know, I gotta be honest here. Again, I’m an equal opportunity basher here on the program. And again, I give also give credit where credit is due. And I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Does anybody out there think that Houthi rebels, Houthi rebels are Iranian proxies would be firing on US troops, bases, ships, if…

you had Donald Trump in the White House? No, no, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Put that question, does anybody actually think that would be taking place right now? I mean, any argument? I mean, I know you got some people left of center here, but this is part of the problem. We don’t have any sort of coherent foreign policy whatsoever. And again, I’m sorry, you’re gonna put, you’re gonna put.

our kids in harm’s way to get shot at and we’re gonna fire at some bloody weapons depot? Uh-uh. Watchdog on Wallstreet.com
