    For those blaming the media many of those same media also reported the story that Hamas had beheaded babies in their attack. That story was later found to be uncomfirmed. Again, fog of war.

    The media isn't perfect especially in a fast moving story like this. What matters is whether they correct their reporting as more information comes out. It seems like they are.

    Then again blaming the media is like baseball fans blaming the umps.

    Middle East is the most ****ed up region on the planet because of their adherence to Islam, tribalism and the United States of America.

    I have no reason to apologize to the Armenians.

    I am home and i am making difference.

    That could be possible. Note, Hezbollah is also exchanging fire with the IDF over south Lebanon and norther Israel.

    Lol the USA isn't responsible for the shitshow in Middle East. No empire has been able to successfully been able to bring the region together for an extended time. Nobody. Blaming America is hilarious and shows you're a moron

    Saudi Arabia literally caused a famine in Yemen cuz they didn't want Shiites next to them for years. Biden was the one who forced sausis into a ceasefire with Yemen. Afghanistan and Iran have hated each other for centuries. Kurds and turks have hated since beginning. Egyptians have never got along with gulf nations.

    You're ****ing clueless

    If you're Hezbollah and you see 2 us carriers next to you what's your best bet? Go watch the 2020 interview with Hezbollah leader when he was asked if he regrets kidnapping the Israelis cuz of Israel harsh response. Hezbollah leader said even if he knew Israel reaction would be 1% of what it was he wouldn't have done it.

    Now he sees a 2 massive us carriers. They're shifting their strategy to more unorthodox military tactics like spinning disinformation and rioting embassies.

    An imbecile who seems to believe Biden is Mahatma Gandhi of 21st century thinks i'm a moron. Ouch.

    "The USA isn't responsible for the shitshow in Middle East" Have you ever heard of Iraq and do you know where it's located? Why are there US bases in Syria and Iraq? Simple answer. Oil.

    Sure, feel free to fool yourself with "We're fighting against ISIS", "We're bringing democracy to the ME" stories but don't expect anyone else to believe it.

    Despite setbacks, Biden reaches aid breakthrough on Israel trip | PBS NewsHour

    President Joe Biden is departing his trip to Israel — meant as a show of continued solidarity with the ally — with a significant breakthrough on providing humanitarian assistance to Palestinians.

    The president announced the U.S. will be providing $100 million in humanitarian assistance for Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank to support the more than a million displaced people in need of water, food, medical care and other needs.

    Israel and Egypt agreed to the movement of aid from Egypt into Gaza “based on the understanding that there will be inspections and that the aid should go to civilians, not to Hamas,” President Biden said in remarks Wednesday.

    The media has to do better and they will continue to make mistakes, not just due to the 'fog of war' but their race to be first with explosive headlines.

    It is stupid to call them shills for Hamas though. @basso

    Obama/bush/trump were bad in the middle east and I've never defended them. You claiming America is responsible for all things bad is ****ing dumb. Middle East will always be a **** show sadly because of religion. It's just unfortunate truth. The idea that Muslim countries have a history of peace is comical. I can give you a long history on turmoil in the middle east dating back from the prophets time.

    I agree we should leave Syria asap. Biden folks said once saudi and Israel were to sign the peace deal the next steps would be removing remaining troops from Syria. We should get out of the middle east.

    Why are you so mad all the time.

    I am very well aware that the conflicts in the middle east are much older than the US itself. What drives me crazy is that you act like the US have nothing to do with what's going on there in the last 35 years and US soldiers are there to establish stability and peace.

    I haven't had to put anyone on ignore for years. In the past week, two people. Sure seems the angst in this discussion group has gone way up.

    You can randomly pick any post you've posted in the last 24 hours that contains the word "Biden" in it. You're welcome.

    That doesn't mean the precious 25 years weren't **** ups. Biden has only been president for 2 years and he sincerely wants to get the **** out of the middle east. I did not support Obama policies and I've stated it here. Biden has issues as well but I like his middle east policies



    Biden denies reports us military will intervene to help Israel. We're done with the middle east @Nook

    It's all about China now

    There has been only 1 US president who truly wanted to get the hell out of ME and publicly stated it in the last 35 years and his name is Donald Trump.

    You're a dumbass if you think trump would've left Afghanistan. He loved the media too much to ever take the PR hit. Everyone knew fake Afghan government was going to collapse. Obama has admitted and said its why he never withdrew. Trump watched TV every day just to see what people would say about him. He'd never withdraw.

    You're just a dumbass now. I'm not going to respond to you
