WTF is Wrong With the US!?!?

Ok let me understand this, US troops where attacked by Iran in Jordan, so the US bombs Syria and Iraq?

U.S. military forces struck more than 85 targets, hitting facilities such as command and control operations, intelligence centers, rockets and missiles, and drone storage sites, according to the U.S. Central Command.

“Our response began today. It will continue at times and places of our choosing,” President Joe Biden said in a statement. “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.”

Am I the only one who thinks that this is insane? If you “respond” in countries that are NOT involved is this not an escalation and an invitation to a wider conflict?

Germany Will Deploy Troops for First Time Since World War II

“A new agreement between Germany and Lithuania will lead to German troops’ first permanent foreign deployment since World War II.

The announcement was made Monday in Lithuania, where Defense Minister Arvydas Anusauskas met with his German counterpart, Boris Pistorius, to outline a multiyear “Roadmap Action Plan” involving approximately 4,800 permanently stationed German soldiers. Both officials called the move a historical moment not just for their nations but for NATO as well.

German troops, including those with families, will be stationed in the Lithuanian cities of Kaunas and Vilnius beginning in 2024, with most troops deployed in 2025 and 2026 and full-operation capability expected by 2027. In turn, Lithuania has committed to providing all necessary civilian and military infrastructure. …”

First time since WWII, What could go wrong? German manufacturing has been on the decline with out Russian natural gas. The last time Germany had a failing economy and deployed troops in foreign lands did not end well for the rest of the world.
