One of Obama's biggest smh moments was when he set a line for Syria I think? Then did nothing.
I would expect Biden, who was VP at the time to have learned from that. Will be curious to see.
The Russians moved Assad's poison gases out and burned them. Obama's red line was never reached.
He didn’t really mean it like that. What he meant was that regardless of Israel’s war crimes, he’ll still send them bombs and call anyone who disagrees an antisemite.
The red line just tells him when it's time for him to say his heart goes out to the victims of all this "collateral damage". Then he moves it again
Another $20bn worth of weapons and a stern conversation, if I had to guess
nothing. what do you expect to happen?
Time to pick up that line and move it further down.
It's a red line, not a concrete barrier. It's really easy to cross and has no consequences.
FUCK
ALL
will happen
There was those bombs that Biden didn't send, but what has he done in the last 24 hours?
