Stupid Macho United States Electioneering Will Push Biden Into Doomed War by Finian Cunningham!

The stupid American politicians are digging a hole for themselves and have no awareness of how to reverse it, Finian Cunningham writes.

Predictably, Joe Biden is being flayed by the Republicans over the killing of three United States troops in Jordan by Iraqi militants.

The Democrat president is slammed for being weak and a coward by his political opponents.

Donald Trump, his main Republican rival, mocked Biden as a "loser" and said the attacks on United States troops were because of the presidents "weakness and surrender".

Nikki Haley, the other Republican vying for the presidential election this year, also taunted Biden for showing spinelessness toward Iran. She called for direct retaliation on the Islamic Republic "with the full force of American strength". Logically, that could imply the use of nuclear weapons.

Unanimously across the mainstream United States political spectrum, it was assumed that Iran was ultimately responsible for the deadly attack on the United States military base on Sunday in Jordan where three military servicemen were killed and 34 were reportedly wounded, according to early reports.

The attack was claimed by Iraqi militants, the Kata ib Hezbollah, as part of an umbrella group known as the Islamic Resistance. The militants are believed to be an alliance of militias based in Iraq, Syria, Palestine, Lebanon, and Yemen. The latter two include Hezbollah and the Ansar Allah movement also known as the Houthis. All are allied with Iran. But each is understood to have its own agency in directing and executing operations.

These groups have carried out hundreds of attacks on United States and Israeli bases since October 7 when Israel launched its offensive on Gaza following the deadly raid on Israel by Hamas. The Yemenis bring a maritime dimension to the region-wide resistance with the ongoing targeting of United States and other ships in the Red Sea area.

Iran has denied that it was involved in the latest attack on the United States base in Jordan. Tehran also denies it is behind the Yemeni operations in the Red Sea.

Iran and the resistance groups say they are an anti-imperialist alliance that is united by opposition to the United States-backed Zionist genocide in Gaza.

These groups are not "Islamist" in the mold of Islamic State and its hardline Sunni (Wahhabi or Takfiri) offshoots. Far from it. The resistance groups were galvanized to defeat the Islamists which have been fomented and supported covertly by the United States for its regime change war in Syria. That proxy war was defeated after Russia intervened in 2015 in support of Syria.

The Americans are locked into a downward spiral created by their own flawed logic and cumulative imperialist occupation in the region.

Even President Biden has accused Iran of being responsible for the killing of the three United States military personnel. Biden vowed to respond at a time of "our choosing".

So, Washington,D.C. unquestioningly determines that Iran is the master culprit. That means the United States has committed itself to going after Tehran without any evidence or realistic understanding of where such a direction is leading. That is, how bad it could get for the United States of Americans.

In a United States election year shaping up to be more fraught than ever, and with Biden facing dwindling poll numbers, the White House incumbent is highly susceptible to being goaded by Republican adversaries.

Donald Trump has already been hammering President Biden for being weak and frail. With the Middle East turning into a cauldron over the Israeli slaughter in Gaza, the Commander-in-Chief is cornered to show mettle. Biden is a hostage of stupid macho politics and bankrupt United States of American imperialism. Diplomacy is simply not an option for the empire, according to its own logic and delusions.

After the deadly drone strike on the United States base in Jordan, Republican Senator Tom Cotton dialed up the revenge with the usual warmongering ranting and raving: "The only answer to these attacks must be devastating retaliation against Irans terrorist force.. Anything less will confirm Joe Biden as a coward."

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said Bidens inaction was the problem because it was emboldening enemies in the Middle East, saying: "The time to start taking this aggression seriously was long before more brave Americans lost their lives."

How hilarious that Biden is scoffed at for being dovish. During his long career, he has been one of the most warmongering politicians in Washington,D.C. He backed the United States-led NATO wars in former Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, and presently in Ukraine. The only thing cowardly about Biden is that he is a craven tool of the military-industrial complex and a pathetic psychopath.

Biden is also known for his bad temper and macho knee-jerk character. We can be quite certain that the Republican taunts about his supposed pusillanimous policy in the Middle East will get his hackles up.

Biden has already taken a reckless militarist position over supporting Israeli aggression. The shocking mass killing of over 26,000 Palestinian civilians under a brutal blockade of starvation has shocked the world and in particular Arab and Muslim people. And yet Biden has not paused in his "unwavering support" for Israel.

Biden has led United States imperialism out of the quagmire of Afghanistan into an even bigger quagmire in the Middle East. With the goading by his equally brainless political rivals, the United States of Americans are plowing further into disaster.

With over 50 military bases strung across the Middle East in 10 countries and with over 50,000 United States troops stationed in the region, the United States of Americans are sitting ducks for the resistance. The advent of drones and newer missile technology is a new realm of warfare the United States of Americans have not adapted to with their land garrisons in remote deserts and gaudy warships.

The death of three United States troops has long been on the cards. The stupid United States of American politicians think they are going to get revenge. They have no idea what is coming to them given the long history of United States aggression, provocation, and illegal occupation in the region.

The support of Israels genocide, the heartrending scenes of children being torn apart by American bombs, the bombing of Yemen - the poorest Arab country - the crazed threats to Iran, the insufferable American arrogance, and decades of impunity are all now welling up in the Middle East.

The stupid United States of American politicians are digging a hole for themselves and have no awareness of how to reverse it. Democrats, Republicans, Biden, Trump, and so on, they are all a ship of fools!
