You must understand this. Iran’s goal is to drive the United States from the Middle East. If they are successful because of Republican isolationists and Democrat cowards, it will open the door to China, Russia, and a war of annihilation against Israel.
In the United States, Iran sees an American president with a long record of running from global Corn Pops.
During Vietnam, Joe Biden became a vocal champion of abandoning Vietnam.
After American Marines were killed in Lebanon, Joe Biden rushed to microphones to demand an American withdrawal.
During the Iraq War, Joe Biden rushed to demand an American withdrawal.
Joe Biden withdrew us from Afghanistan and handed the country back to the Taliban.
Iran knows the odds.
Repeatedly, since October 2023, American forces have come under attack from Iranian agents, and Joe Biden’s response has amounted to slapping the Mullahs with a white glove and a “tut-tut.”
Iran only responds to one thing — disproportionate violence.
Joe Biden is not only not giving Iran that, but he has a record of cowardice, withdrawal, abandonment, and surrender. In Washington, some on the right are screaming about abandoning the Middle East — isolationists who will never acknowledge or admit their retreat from the world stage emboldens our enemies.
They are coupled with an American President who speaks loudly and carries a limp stick.
Three Americans are dead, and more than two dozen are wounded after an Iranian attack on American military personnel in Jordan. Given Biden’s track record, Iran thinks he will tuck and run. The response must be an American fist punching back. That does not necessarily mean directly attacking Iran. But it sure as hell means unleashing hell against the Houthi, Iranian agents, etc.
Joe Biden has a pattern of surrender. The United States cannot afford to.
