There is no way this will end well. Mainstream news coverage is already unhinged.
Acts like this typically take Congressional approval. There is no emergency here, this is defending shipping lines. This is illegal.
Biden criticized Trump after the assassination of Soleimani 4 years ago, for the exact same thing.
"Donald Trump does not have the authority to take us into a war with Iran without Congressional approval. A president should never take this nation to war without the informed consent of the American people." -Joe Biden 1/6/2020
This is the US explicitly siding with Israel re: the genocide in Gaza, it's a major escalation.
Biden's a hypocrite, this is nothing new. He had both houses under control and still failed to legislate federal protections for trans people.
Making everything about trans people doesn’t make your argument look good, it makes you look deranged, obsessed and pathetic.
Not everything is about trans people.
Grow up.
This isn't about trans people, it's about how obviously Biden (and the whole lot of them, really) are hypocrites.
I would say it's even relevant to bring up the complete failure of the Biden admin to do anything about the attacks on progressive rights internal to the US. The US and its proxies tend to excuse their 'foreign policy' actions by claiming their cause to be righteous because they're more supportive of LGBT rights (or womens rights, depending on the era) than their enemies.
The point is that they're not righteous, this is operation genocide guardian.
