As the world watched hundreds of missiles and drones make their way from Iranian airspace toward Israeli targets… Joe Biden had to come home from relaxing at the beach.
That would be a fantastic metaphor for the facts on the ground even if it hadn’t been what actually happened.
The world had advanced warning that Iran was making big moves to retaliate against Israel for turning one of their terrorist advisors into a fine red mist. As the fateful hour approached, Joe Biden was — once again — a picture of impotence.
Let’s back up to the beginning, for the benefit of anyone who missed the news over the weekend, or might be reading this at a future date.
Iran’s Attack
On Saturday, in retaliation to a drone strike taking out one of their commanders who had a role in 10/7 and was still helping coordinate terrorist attacks against Israel, Iran and their proxies unleashed over 300 drones and missiles in a coordinated attack against Israel.
Israel’s defenses worked as advertised. Allied forces worked alongside Israelis to shoot down drones. Even Jordan shot down missiles or drones crossing Jordanian airspace.
Joe Biden gave mixed messages about the impending attack.
On TV-land, he went back to the well with his super-convincing line he uses to intimidate people; ‘don’t’. He even repeated it.

It worked so incredibly well for deterring Putin that he figured he’d give it another go.
Back in the real world, he literally gave a green light to Israel’s enemies to fire upon them.
Earlier this week, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke to Fidan to make clear that escalation in the Middle East was not in anyone’s interest.
“Iran informed us in advance of what would happen. Possible developments also came up during the meeting with Blinken, and they (the US) conveyed to Iran through us that this reaction must be within certain limits,” the source said.
“In response, Iran said the reaction would be a response to Israel’s attack on its embassy in Damascus and that it would not go beyond this.” — JPost
These are the same people who don’t just chant ‘Death to America’, but they have actually been responsible for the deaths of several Americans in the current conflict, and many more in years past.
If that strategy sounds familiar, it should.
Ukraine’s president pushed back Thursday on President Joe Biden’s suggestion that a “minor incursion” by Russia into Ukraine might not merit a strong international response.
“We want to remind the great powers that there are no minor incursions and small nations,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote in a tweet Thursday morning. “Just as there are no minor casualties and little grief from the loss of loved ones. I say this as the President of a great power.”
Zelenskyy’s comment was a remarkable retort from a close U.S. ally that has received millions of dollars in military assistance. — (Jan 20, 2022, more than one month before Putin launched his war.)
And what is he doing now?
He REALLY wants Israel to stand down and just be grateful the hundreds of warheads Biden allowed Iran to send didn’t wipe out any neighborhoods in Israel…
…THIS time.
