President Nixon’s adage, often cited by Kissinger, remains valid: “You may pay the same price for conducting policy halfheartedly or hesitantly as for doing it the correct way and with conviction.”…
President Joe Biden speaks from the Oval Office of the White House Thursday, Oct. 19, 2023, in Washington, about the war in Israel and Ukraine. .” He explained: “Whenever peace – conceived as the avoidance of war – has been the primary objective of a power or group of powers, the international system has been at the mercy of the most ruthless member of the international community.”
But first, let’s look at how we got where we are: After Putin invaded Georgia in 2008, the new U.S. administration’s response in 2009 was to propose that we “reset” our relations with Russia. That surely had the Kremlin shaking in its boots. President Obama drew a red line against Syria’s use of chemical weapons in 2012, but did not enforce it in 2013. In 2014, Russia then seized Crimea and eastern portions of Ukraine.
On October 10, President Biden warned any country or organization “thinking of taking advantage of this situation , … Don’t.” Thus, if Hezbollah calls his bluff and does open up a second front, it offers the President an opportunity to undo the damage from our hasty retreat from Afghanistan. and to demonstrate that U.S. warnings will be backed with U.S. military power.
Would such an action cause Iran to declare war on the U.S.? Unlikely. Iran knows that in such a war, the U.S. would then destroy its nuclear and missile infrastructure.
