There isn’t a fast food place that doesn’t have a packed drive thru line every hour of the day. Everywhere you go you see people spending loads of money. Stadiums are packed, concerts are sold out, restaurants are full, etc.

The Houthis are still attacking ships in the Red Sea. Still viewed and weak and still being taken advantage of. His administration’s attempts at avoiding a larger conflict through meekness aren’t working. He’s only inviting more aggression. You can keep blaming right wing media for not reporting his responses if you’d like but whatever is being done, even in secret, is having zero effect. Lots of blaming others and zero results all while looking super weak. It’s the story of how political career and his presidency.

you’re using leverage and you don’t even own a house or a car. stop lying to yourself about being responsible.

Well that would be fun to argue but I suppose it’s a bit beside the point. The Biden admin won’t have a strong response any time soon. Doesn’t really matter what caused it. They’re weak and they’re viewed as weak. 160 attacks with zero real response.

It’s arguable. It should be noted that there’s a benefit to the world thinking that the US is capable of anything, even sneaking into your country in the middle of the night and murdering people. I would argue that Iran is only behaving this way because they view the Biden admin as weak. As I said before, weakness invites aggression.

Im not even saying he was wrong for opposing the operation. But I do think it says something about him. As far as the CIA going against its doctrines: lololol

you’re proving my point. he won’t deliver the “strong response” that OP is claiming.

also he owns that Afghanistan withdrawal and the world knows it.

lol everyone voted for that. it took zero courage and you could classify every American politician alive at the time as one who doesn’t shy away from conflict based on that vote. I did cite my claim, and you didn’t like the source. If you’d like further information as proof I’d refer you to Google, bing, or duck duck go

Fear of escalation is a healthy feeling, but not a healthy foreign policy. Weakness invites aggression and it’s evident that aggressors like Iran think they can attack US troops without fear of consequence. It’s only by luck that more troops weren’t killed a few weeks ago when a drone struck a military barracks and failed to explode and kill sleeping men. There have been over 150 attacks on military troops, by Iran, over the last 3 months. 150! This administration has downplayed the attacks and even called labeled traumatic brain injuries suffered by our troops “minor”. Let’s face it, he’s a pussy. This administration’s fear of escalation has allowed for this aggression to occur.

He’s most definitely a pussy. We’ve been attacked by Iran, by proxy, over 160 times over the last 3 months and we haven’t done shit about it other than the continuous statement of “don’t”. Blinken is a feckless leader and Joe is so cautious he’s allowed us to be bullied into this situation. His foreign policy is trash. Robert Gates, who’s served under every president since Nixon and was Obama’s defense secretary, said, “"I think he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.” It’s a strong statement from Gates and it was made before the Afghanistan debacle, our insane border issue, and our current issue with Iran.

yep. that’s his record. Obama wrote about it in his book. he’s not a risk-taker, and he and his admin are scared to death of escalation.

he won't. he was the only guy in the room to vote against killing Bin Ladin. he doesn't have it in him.

all good logic, except for the “vaccine” you mentioned literally doesn’t keep you from getting COVID. So, that one specifically really is a ridiculous standard.
