One senior official in U.S. President Joe Biden's administration denied Amirabdollahian's statement, saying Washington did have contact with Iran through Swiss intermediaries but did not get notice 72 hours in advance.
So even Biden's admin admits they had warning...
They're just mad it wasn't 72 hours?
If they got 72 hours warning, they'd say it didn't count because it wasn't 96 hour notice.
They picked an arbitrary deadline for it to count as a "deadline" and they're ignoring that they were told a response was imment as well.
Iraqi, Turkish and Jordanian officials each said Iran had provided early warning of the attack last week, including some details.
Where the fuck was the notice when Israel attacked Iran's embassy?
America deserves better than trump or Biden, this shit is fucking embarrassing.
But, the administration of every president in my living memory would likely have reacted the same way. There seems to be an impressive inertia in the USA's Middle East bullshit that seems to transcend president and party.
Thats my point. "Lesser of two evils" doesn't work, because the two choices keep getting more evil.
I was pissed at Obama the majority of his 8 years, but that doesn't mean he was worse than Biden.
Like, you do remember that Biden was paired with Obama by the DNC to counter his perceived progressiveness, right? Doesn't matter what lies he tells running for office, Biden was and is a backslide for the democratic party.
But they did though I literally read headlines that said an attack is imminent and us people should move and Canada told Canadians not to go to Gaza because they said that there was an attack that was imminent
