The U.S. Department of Defense announced this week that it is moving military assets to the Middle East to deter continued Iranian aggression against the U.S. and Israel after Iran vowed this week to hit Israel following last week’s strikes in Iran.

The Pentagon ordered the deployment of “additional ballistic missile defense destroyers, fighter squadron and tanker aircraft, and several U.S. Air Force B-52 long-range strike bombers to the region.”

The forces will arrive in the region in the coming months as the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group prepares to leave the region.

The move of B-52s and missile defense is interesting. The B-52, it should be noted, is strictly an offensive platform, and its use presumes U.S. air superiority where the BUFFs are deployed, thus perhaps the movement of fighters. //

“These deployments build on the recent decision to deploy the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile defense system to Israel as well as DoD’s sustained Amphibious Ready Group Marine Expeditionary Unit (ARG/MEU) posture in the Eastern Mediterranean,” a statement said. //

Is this a decision made by our senile president Biden? If not, then by whom?

This decision is a very big deal, irrespective of whether one thinks we should or should not intervene. Harris, as VP, does not have the Constitutional authority to give such an order. Biden doesn't have the mental capacity to do anything other than what someone tells him to do.

Is this Doctor Jill's decision? //

JOE BIDEN is the sole commander-in chief. He gives the orders.
Let that sink in. Harris does not care. let that sink in too.

The Obama game plan is to leave a huge stinking pile of garbage on your successors lap, before you get booted out the door.

Obama's plan is still working perfectly. Obama made sure all the biggest Obamacare costs and impact kicked in only after he left office. Then Trump gets blamed for raising the public debt.

You cannot hate Democrats enough.
