In a dramatic turn of events, Donald Trump, still embroiled in scandal, has sounded the alarm, warning that the United States is teetering on the brink of World War Three. His sombre declaration came on the heels of a tragic drone strike that claimed the lives of three American soldiers, leaving dozens more injured at a military outpost near the Syrian border in Jordan.

Taking to his favoured platform, Truth Social, Trump expressed his grave concerns, squarely placing blame on President Joe Biden’s perceived weakness and perceived surrender. He asserted, “This brazen attack on the United States is yet another horrific and tragic consequence of Joe Biden’s weakness and surrender. This attack would NEVER have happened if I were President, not even a chance – Just like the Iranian-backed Hamas attack on Israel would never have happened, the War in Ukraine would never have happened, and we would have Peace throughout the World right now. Instead, we are on the brink of World War Three.”

Trump went on to claim that during his presidency, he had Iran, the alleged perpetrators of the drone strike, under tight control. He contended that they were “weak, broke, and totally under control” when he left office, suggesting that they could “barely scrape two dollars together to fund their terrorist proxies.” In contrast, Trump accused President Biden of giving Iran billions of dollars, which, according to him, the regime used to fuel violence and chaos across the Middle East.

In his closing remarks, Trump called for an immediate return to a policy of “PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH,” advocating for stability, the prevention of chaos, and the protection of American lives. He minced no words in asserting, “Our country cannot survive with Joe Biden as commander in chief.”

The Biden administration swiftly responded to Trump’s claims, with Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates stating, “As President Biden said today, we will respond decisively at a time and place of our choosing. President Biden has acted swiftly and forcefully to hold the Iranian backers of these hostile groups accountable – including with multiple air strikes. Attempts by far-right congressional Republicans to politicise our national security are illogical and detrimental to our safety and security. In fact, these Republican officials never criticised the previous administration when the same militias attacked American troops, including in 2020. If congressional Republicans share President Biden’s priority of holding Iran accountable, they should back his retaliation against the groups who committed today’s acts, as well as the national security supplemental request – and they should stop giving Iran a pass for helping Russia attack Ukraine.”

The political drama continues to unfold as tensions rise, leaving the nation on edge and anxiously awaiting the next steps in this escalating crisis.
