Biden: US opposes Israel hitting Iran nuclear sites, response should be ‘proportional’

  1. Feels like we’ve seen a pattern of Biden admin officially opposing the most effective yet escalatory Israeli strike options, and Israel continuing as they should.

    *Biden is putting out an official statement to show his peaceful retirement from the White House, oh and here’s some targeting info for critical nuclear sites, toodles!*

    Proportional? Well, proportional to the country’s area, Israel should launch 13,500 missiles at Iran. Proportional to the population – 1,642 missiles.

    So he’s saying they should go and strike Iran’s military bases in other words. 

  4. This is so stupid. If it wouldn’t be ridiculously awful, I would say just let the whole next barrage land. Then we can talk about proportional.

    This new world where you haven’t really been attacked because you have anti-air defenses is getting really stupid.

    This is obviously because of the election, and while I agree number one priority is keeping Trump out of the Whitehouse, they can’t be downright stupid about the whole situation.

    So the US hesitates to go all out with Israel and finally finish the horrible mullah regime and its nuclear ambitions. I understand the reasoning behind the delay, elections and all. But the window off opportunity will not stay open until 11/5. This is the moment to cut the snake’s head.

  6. Killing innocent people in Iran will only galvanize the population against them. But strategic hits on military sites (not infrastructure) or wherever the Supreme turd is, will be met with with support. Don’t miss!

    Proportionality in war is BS. Its a recipe for an endless cycle of violence. Did we stop at bombing just one Japanese naval base after Pearl Harbor?

    Oh shit, the last time we got proportional over there someone lost half their navy in around 8 hours

  9. Israel Population: 9.5 million.

    Iranian missiles launched: 181

    Ratio: 1 missile to every 52,000 people, more or less.

    Iran population: 88.5 million

    A proportional response then would be for Israel to launch 1,702 Ballistic Missiles into Iran.

    Where did this stupid notion of proportional response in war come from? In war you don’t give proportional responses. You kill your enemy and you destroy their shit until they either surrender or enough of them are dead and enough of their shit is destroyed that they can’t fight you anymore.

    Well, if you want proportional, and it seems Biden’s flawed interpretation of proportionality is tit for tat, then Israel *should* try hitting near the Islamic Republic of Iran’s nuclear sites. The Islamic Republic of Iran targeted an airbase close to a nuclear reactor and an airbase that is believed to house Israel’s nuclear gravity weapons after all.

    Where’s the logic behind retaliation being proportional. If someone expects proportional retaliation, that’s a bad precedent to set.

  13. Why can’t Iran just purchase ready to go nukes from Russia?

    And before you say some treaty…why would Russia honor that treaty? Didn’t they move nukes into Belarus?

  14. Biden looking really weak here.

    200 ballistic missiles launched in a massive act of war

    “Plz don’t be mean to the regime”

  15. I have to disagree with my president on this one. The response should be large enough to effectively deter future attacks.

    In my language “zachte heelmeesters maken stinkende wonden”. Roughly translated as “careful healers make festering wounds” (at least I think that’s the translation). Gotto rip that bandaid off one of these days. The careful act is starting to fester.

  17. Incredibly stupid, after 9/11 proportional would have been for the US to take down two skyscrapers in Afghanistan and kill a max of 4000 people and hope that Bin Laden doesn’t “escalate”. Lol where do they even come up with this stuff.

  18. OptimisticRecursion on

    Bull crap. Proportional my a**. That regime needs to disappear because they will NOT stop. They will get new leadership setup for both Hamas and Hezbollah, re-arm them, send them money, and the entire thing will happen all over again. It’s time to end the snake from the head.
