Agreed here. Try to prevent escalation 💯🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Anthony’s foreign policy from Obamas admin and now Bidens has been a disaster. From the Iran deal to Afghanistan. Bro messes up everything he’s involved with while having the US take this passive stance in negotiations.

Israel knows you are what weaknesses is

[briandevoe]

Hey Obama! Just because you say it doesn't make it so !

Hey Blinky, go okay your guitar and stop making matters worse by getting the U.S. involved in wars

[benmcclure]

BALONEY, You don't have a clue what's going on, or what your gonna do. Support Israel 🇮🇱 and help them to do what must be done to Stop Iran's Terrorism. 🇺🇸 🇮🇱

[candidahuckleberry]

Your Administration has no backbone!!!

[pattyanderson]

Yeah, we don't seek escalation in the middle east, but we'll allow Israel to escalate things and than cover their backs. What a piece of work this guy is....

[NedraRigsby]

Strength and wisdom and this bunch in Washington don't have either one

[LynnGould-mc]

Listen w/o watching...sounds just like Obama

[denisefarmer]

You DO seek escalation because thats all you've done since Ukraine war started, and now middle east. You egg our enemies on repeatedly. Anyone who's been paying attention knows this.
