How drone strike death of US soldiers in Jordan takes us a step closer to WW3 - and Biden's response could further drag in Britain and play directly into Putin's hands​

The attack on the US base, which Iran said it was not involved in, marks a major escalation in tensions that have already engulfed the region, amid concerns Israel 's war against the Iran-backed Hamas terror group in Gaza could spread into a wider conflict involving Iran's proxies in Lebanon, Yemen and Iraq. President Joe Biden vowed that the US 'shall respond' to the strike, which also injured dozens of troops, and blamed Iran-backed militias for the first US fatalities after months of strikes by such groups against American forces in the volatile region.

US and allied forces in Iraq and Syria have been targeted in more than 150 attacks since October 7, according to the Pentagon , following the deadly Hamas terror attack on southern Israel which sparked the on-going Israeli offensive in Gaza. Washington has carried out retaliatory strikes in both Iraq and Syria, but analysts have cautioned that the White House must tread carefully in its response to the latest attacks, or risk plunging the Middle East into a deeper conflict.

Specialist Kennedy Ladon Sanders, 24, Specialist Breonna Moffett, 23, (pictured) and Sgt. William Rivers (top), 46, were identified by officials on Monday. The drone attack late Saturday impacted a base in the northeast part of the country known as Tower 22 near the Syria border, and resulted in three deaths and at more that 40 other injured.

Pentagon Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh said all three soldiers were assigned to the 718th Engineer Company, a US Army Reserve unit based out of Fort Moore, Georgia. 'What was different about this attack is where it landed. It did impact where the living quarters, and I believe it was pretty early morning so people were actually in their beds when the drone impacted,' Singh said at a press conference today.

Biden is considering striking Iranian naval assets in the Persian Gulf in response to deadly drone attack - as Trump and GOP slam president for failure to deter Tehran - despite his multiple warnings​

Joe Biden is weighing up his options for responding to Sunday's killing of three U.S. soldiers by Iranian-backed militias. Analysts say he has no good answers, but must act decisively. One option under consideration is striking Iranian naval assets in the Persian Gulf. The New York Times reported that the U.S. has identified the major drone-making factories, and their overseas suppliers. The Pentagon has existing plans for potential strikes on Iranian missile sites and air bases, in case a conflict broke out between Iran and Israel. The U.S. has even formulated a cyberattack option against Iran, code-named 'Nitro Zeus,' the New York Times reported. The cyberattack would disable Iran's air defenses, communications systems and crucial parts of its power grid.

Russia and China warn Biden over Middle East strikes: President is urged to de-escalate attacks on Iran-backed targets to avoid a 'cycle of retaliation' as US looks to hit back following deadly drone blast​

The United States has vowed to respond to a drone attack on a base in Jordan that resulted in the first US military deaths in an attack in the region since the Israel-Hamas war began, raising fears of an escalating Middle East conflict. Iran-backed militants have been blamed for the strike on the Tower 22 base, leading to calls at home for US president Joe Biden to respond robustly and with force. But in an apparent bid to temper America's expected retaliation against their Iranian ally, both Russia and China have today called for a deescalation in the region. The Kremlin, asked on Tuesday about potential US strikes on Iranian interests, said tensions in the Middle East were high and that steps were needed to de-escalate rather than destabilise the wider region, where fighting is currently raging in Gaza. China on Tuesday also warned against a 'cycle of retaliation' in the volatile region.

We humans are such a despicable species.
Its impossible to say which is worst, Hamas doing what they did, or Israel revenging for what Hamas did. The end result is that civil people get ruled by thugs, not other way around.

I imagine that'll depend on how the polling goes. Now that he's somehow blamed Trump for the border crisis he needs some sort of foreign relations/international situation to demonstrate his leadership. Last time he was on the world stage he let rip a sonorous fart, which is one of the few times something honest emanated from him.

We could likely switch off the Iranian Navy before lunch but that might not turn out the way you might think. Remember the General Belgrano ? Even in a time of war the disparity of technology led to empathy for the Argentines.

Iran declares Antarctica its property in direct challenge to Biden, global treaty​

Iran’s Navy commander announced in a televised broadcast last fall that the regime owns Antarctica and will build a military operation in the South Pole.

"We have property rights in the South Pole. We have plan to raise our flag there and carry out military and scientific work," Iranian Navy Commander Rear Admiral Shahram Irani said in late September, according to a translation by the Washington D.C.-based Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).

Iran’s naval saber-rattling is drawing new attention in response to the Iranian-backed militias that murdered three U.S. soldiers in Jordan last month.

Despite the clerical regime’s growing bellicosity in the Middle East and across the world, according to veteran Iran observers, the Biden administration released $6 billion in sanctions relief to Tehran’s rulers ahead of the Iran-backed Hamas massacre of 1,200 people Oct. 7 in southern Israel. Hamas slaughtered over 30 Americans during its invasion of Israel.

Iran’s President, Ebrahim Raisi, who was sanctioned by former President Trump for his role in the two massacres of Iranian dissidents and protesters, disputed the Biden administration’s restrictions on the use of the $6 billion. Raisi taunted Biden’s White House, declaring his regime will use the massive cash infusion "wherever we need it."

"Iran's future plans to try to expand its military presence and influence into the Antarctic would not only violate multilateral conventions on the issue, but continues the regime's trend of aggression across the globe," said Yonah Jeremy Bob, author of "Target Tehran" and a senior Jerusalem Post military and intelligence analyst.

"Whether through terrorism on basically every continent or its rampant piracy in the maritime arena, the Islamic Republic continues to show why it is a danger to world stability and why Israel and the Mossad's role in holding it back from nuclear weapons remains critical."

"Every time Tehran expands its tentacles into a new area to disrupt the rules-based order promoted by the West, the U.S. and its allies are given an additional opportunity to take the nuclear threat more seriously. Antarctica might seem a distant threat, but if the West acts as meekly as it did when Iran recently kicked out nuclear weapons inspectors, the Islamic Republic will only become further emboldened on other track," he added.

I mean, its pretty obvious.

With advance of AI society will practically need NO labour force. At least a few millions of truckers and cab drivers will be out of job market by the end of a decade. So, what you do with them when they sit useless on social security? Let them do some work, send them to die in the war with Russia, then to war in China! That's what I call good thinking and planning ahead by neo-cons and other highly paid unelected bureaucrats.

In a case you don't believe me, check this picture. It shows all the wars in the whole history of mankind. Practically, on average, there was a war in a medieval Europe on average every 30 years! Why? Human population grows at 1% in a year, and agrarian economy can not grow because its fixed by the amount of arable land. So, on average, every 30 years elites had to get rid of 30% of unemployed that were roaming around and causing trouble. Nowadays situation is the same as in the agrarian economy, but its side-effect caused by our bright AI future, not to mention internal political divisions.

This description of the graphic doesn't make sense. Wars typically occur over large geographic areas which cannot be represented by a single point on a map. It would make sense if it was the location of battles, for instance. Another explanation for this distribution of battles relates to the likely scholarship effort in discovering the sites of battles in the historical records as well as archaeological digs. The historical record keeping itself is likely another factor. No other geographical region's history is as carefully recorded as that of Europe.

Chart makes extremely lots of sense, but maybe I should explain it in a more straightforward way: wars are created by population over-pressure, aka. miss proportion between population and resources. All throughout history Europe had the highest population density on the planet, so population over-pressure was occurring the most frequently.

AI is taking over human jobs, so AI is creating population over-pressure. So, one has to open the valve and bleed off some steam.

Emmanuel Macron warns the West has not 'ruled out' putting boots on the ground in Ukraine to fight the Russian invasion​

President Emmanuel Macron has warned that the West could have to send ground troops to Ukraine to fight Russia if it wants Moscow to be defeated.

The French premier announced new steps to boost Kyiv in its battle against Vladimir Putin's troops as the war in Ukraine enters its third year including sending missiles and bombs to the country.

Speaking after hosting a meeting of two dozen European leaders to discuss Ukraine, Macron said there was consensus that 'the defeat of Russia is indispensable to security and stability' on the continent.

Russia, he said, was showing a 'more aggressive attitude not just in Ukraine but in general'.

While there was 'no consensus' on the sending of Western ground troops to Ukraine, 'nothing should be excluded. We will do whatever it takes to ensure that Russia cannot win this war,' he said.

Yes. Perhaps France could invade Russia and burn Moscow to defeat them.

Oh, wait, didn't they already try that ?
