President Biden: 'If you harm an American, we will respond'

President Biden released a statement on the U.S. strikes in Iraq and Syria in response to the deadly drone attack in Jordan that killed three service members. In his statement he says "the United States does not seek conflict in the Middle East or anywhere else in the world. But let all those who might seek to do us harm know this: If you harm an American, we will respond."

Evil people in power without conscience make this world very ugly.

Except when you are a new York police officer then we will let you off the hook?! Smh

[DonXisco]

So, what about the Palestinian American who was killed by an Israeli terrorist in the West Bank a week ago?

“But first well tell you in advance so our enemies know we’re coming” -Biden

Says one thing; "we don't seek a widening war", but does the exact opposite *launches 80+ strikes, some of which are illegal*.

[gweedus]

Why is an Americans’ life worth more than another? We are all humans man. Can’t we all just relax? Put aside religion, smoke a joint, and hug?

How many people have American soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan

[Cha-y]

Really Joey, what about the 12 US Marines and Navy Corpman that were killed at Kabul Airport Afghanistan???

You stood there checking your watch.

[lmore]

Does that statement apply to the illegals you let in America

[alooga]

Joe's handlers just gave him a script, prodding him to just read it without asking or taking questions.

Harm an American? Seems like the exception is if the American is a police officer in NY... there is no way this should have even happened. Vote-um-out!

[umdjcyb]

We don't want conflict, but we are shooting down missiles in others' war. Think that means we are at war.

[realnapster]

Is this not a war crime? Or is it only war crime when Russia does it? 😅

[jamesbranham]

Does that include those who killed the soldiers when fleeing Afghanistan

[truetrue]

it’s clearly that now one is afraid of USA and Biden !

[skytowergnome]

The US doesn't have to seek a broader conflict, everyone else seems to be seeking one for us. Still, not the worst thing he could have done.
