    The U.S. Military launched airstrikes this week against an Islamic terrorist group in Iraq after the group injured multiple U.S. service members in a drone strike on Christmas.

    U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria have been attacked more than 100 times since October 17, according to a recent report from the Military Times.

    Three U.S. service members were hurt, including one who was in critical condition, after the terror group launched a suicide drone at a U.S. base in Erbil, Iraq.

    In response to the attacks, the U.S. conducted airstrikes against multiple facilities used by Kataib Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed terrorist group, and affiliated groups in Iraq late on Monday night, U.S. Central Command said in a statement.

    "Early assessments indicate that these U.S. airstrikes destroyed the targeted facilities and likely killed a number of Kataib Hezbollah militants," the statement said. "There are no indications that any civilian lives were affected. The U.S. military will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of these strikes."

    CENTCOM Commander General Michael Erik Kurilla said that the strikes were "intended to hold accountable those elements directly responsible for attacks on coalition forces in Iraq and Syria and degrade their ability to continue attacks."

    Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said that the other terror groups that have been involved in attacking U.S. forces in the region were also "Iran-aligned."

    "Let me be clear - the President and I will not hesitate to take necessary action to defend the United States, our troops, and our interests," Austin said. "There is no higher priority. While we do not seek to escalate conflict in the region, we are committed and fully prepared to take further necessary measures to protect our people and our facilities."

26 days after the October 7th Terror attacks on Israel, where over 1400 Jewish men, women and children were gruesomely murdered, and hundreds more made hostage: Should the Biden /Harris administration finally state that the administration's primary Middle East negotiating partner, Iran, is behind the funding and strategy of the aggressors, the Hamas Terrorists, or continue to take the more moderate position of "Don't," which is clearly not working?

  Yes, name Iran as the funding /strategy culprit, and begin to enforce the President Trump era sanctions to END Iran's ability to prosecute this war against Israel and the United States.

  No, Iran is a valuable partner in the motives of the Biden / Harris administration, and must not be named as the culprit and our enemy.

  I have larger concerns just to survive in this economy.

In the minds of many, since January 20, 2021, the World has become far less safe in every theater of conflict, beginning with the attack of Israel by Iran /Hamas, so the question becomes: What caused this Worldwide calamity of extreme geopolitical dysfunction, and what will correct it?

  Joe Biden is the cause of this frightening Worldwide situation, and it will end when a Republican is elected president.

  This delayed Worldwide dysfunction and constant conflict is all Donald Trump's fault, as it is with everything that occurs going forward, and long before the man ever became the 45th president..

  Joe Biden is the "root cause" of this frightening Worldwide situation, and it will end when former President Donald John Trump is elected president.

  In the imitable words of Alfred E. Newman: "What, me worry?"
