So are we droning empty goat barns in Syria and Iraq to send a message to Iran?

The Biden circus leaked their plans to CBS News yesterday that they would begin strikes in Iraq and Syria. 
They gave a 24 heads up for Iran to get personnel and equipment moved out and made sure to emphasize the strikes would be limited to Iraq and Syria and not touch Iran itself. So a week after Iran funded proxies targeted and killed our soldiers, we're dropping show bombs in different countries for Biden to play a fake tough guy in an election year.

Wag the dog moment. Those 3 dead troops may they rip. Their sacrifice for this illegitimate corrupt regime was in vain.

US Central Command says they hit more than 85 targets.

Not surprised. A weak response by a weak leader. There is no deterrent in bombing empty barns after telling the enemy what your plan was.
Iran wins again.
Iran wins again.

CENTCOM Statement on U.S. Strikes in Iraq and Syria
At 4:00 p.m. (EST) Feb. 02, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces conducted airstrikes in Iraq and Syria against Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds Force and affiliated militia groups. U.S. military forces struck more than 85 targets, with numerous aircraft to include long-range bombers flown from United States. The airstrikes employed more than 125 precision munitions. The facilities that were struck included command and control operations centers, intelligence centers, rockets, and missiles, and unmanned aerial vehicle storages, and logistics and munition supply chain facilities of militia groups and their IRGC sponsors who facilitated attacks against U.S. and Coalition forces.

Iran already moved their assets and key personnel from those “targets” so whatever they’re hitting is shite the Iranians didn’t want.

And if he started bombing Iran directly, you guys would be sky screaming that he is wagging the dog and starting WWIII to get re-elected or as some distraction. Make up your minds.
We don't even have any proof Iran was behind this.
On top of which, does Russia have the right to bomb us for directly funding a proxy war that is getting their guys killed?

I know that’s what y'all are all going with to make sure this looks bad.

What’s so hard to understand about it’s stupid to telegraph your intentions and give Iran a week to move its key personnel and assets back to safe harbor?

Might makes right in war. Russia is not about to frick around and find out. We can go conventional to a large degree on them, which is a significant L they don't want.
It's time for Operation Praying Mantis 2.0 vs Iran proper.

You think they were able to remove all infrastructure, personnel, equipment, etc. from Syria in that timespan?
Also, is it the worst thing in the world if they did move everyone back within their own borders?

So you’re just going to ignore the reality that Biden telegraphed his plans to Iran and allowed them to move assets and key personnel back to Iran where they know they won’t be targeted?
We don’t have to “make sure Biden looks bad”, that idiot does that all on his own.

I agree it's weak, but Trump did the same thing with Syria. The MIC pressured him, so he did some token bombing.

Are you dumb enough to believe they have some massive Army and huge stockpiles of weapons at these “targets”? Iran doesn’t operate like that.

At individual targets, no. Probably why we did over 80 of them.
All intel says Iran has a massive network of militia groups in the region. I know you want to believe we hit nothing, but that’s very unlikely to be the case.
