Iran Fires Ballistic Missiles At US Consulate


Displays of weakness and a policy and acts of appeasement tends to breed contempt from the party being appeased and viewing the weakness.

New York Post: Ballistic missiles fired at US consulate in Iraq

Up to a dozen ballistic missiles launched from Iran were fired early Sunday morning towards the US consulate in Iraq’s Kurdistan region capital of Erbil, officials said.

Negotiation talks in Vienna, Austria surrounding America’s potential return to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal broke up without an agreement on Friday after new Russian demands scrambled the talks.'

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard, claimed responsibility, so we have a military wing of the government of Iran admitting to attacking a United States Consulate:

Ballistic missiles hit Iraq's Kurdish capital, Iran's Revolutionary Guard claim responsibility

So after Biden bends over backwards to end sanctions against Iran, and begs them to pump more oil, and appeases Iran by rushing the USA to rejoin a  terrible agreement that will essentially pave the way for Iran to get nuclear weapons, Iran appreciates these acts by firing ballistic missiles -- that could potentially carry such nuclear weapons -- at a US consulate. 

Apparently, Biden couldn't appease them quickly enough.

Be interesting to see if the Biden Administration will levy any penalty beyond calling it an "outrageous attack" for such actions against Iran or have the US continue on its path to appeasement, or perhaps appease faster.

Just another probing test of the weakness of the Lesco Brandon administration by our enemies.

Hey Aaron;

This is "Cassi Bellum" crap here, under any normal administration, there would have been a retaliation...They wouldn't have done this crap under Trump, or the Bushes and Reagan shot the crap out of their oil platforms, and sank several of their ships the last time they attacked us directly.

Glypto Dropem - Yep, they know a weak horse when they see one, and we've got a weak, senile and totally ineffective horse right here.

MrGarabaldi: Yes, yes it is. If Biden and his advisors/handlers shrug this off without a response and continue the policy of appeasement with Iran, they've just downgraded the US into a paper tiger and brutally damaged America's credibility in the region for decades to come.
