An unexpected turn of events put MSNBC host Joy Reid on a hot mic, where she spoke out against President Biden for "starting another fu**ing war." Even in the media that leans to the left, this event shows that people are becoming more worried about the choices made by the Commander-in-Chief.
Reid showed a clip of President Biden's comments on the border crisis during a segment about the crisis. She didn't realize that her microphone was still on, so her unfiltered thoughts about Biden's likely choice to attack Iranian assets got out.

It's important to understand how important it is that President Biden might give permission for military action in the Middle East. A strong reaction is needed after the recent attack on a U.S. military outpost that killed three soldiers and hurt many more. However, it looks like even Reid is aware of the serious effects of such acts.
Reports say that the possible attacks could go after Iranian-backed militias in Syria and Iraq as well as Iranian naval weapons in the Persian Gulf. Politico has expressed worries about the serious effects these strikes could have, including leading the US to another major conflict in the Middle East. This is a worry that many conservatives who want to be more careful in foreign affairs share.
It's interesting that this isn't the first time that President Biden has been told how dangerous war with Iran would be. A clip from 2020 that has been found again shows Biden as a candidate blaming Trump of leading the country into a war with Iran. This shows how ironic it is that Biden is now facing the very problem he once feared.
People who are conservative know how important it is to deal with risks and keep American lives safe. There is, however, also a trust in careful thought and thinking about all the possible outcomes. We hope that President Biden listens to the warnings, even from people in his own network who don't like him, and carefully considers his options before making a choice that could have huge effects on our troops and the stability of the area.
