I really don’t think Joe Biden has a handle on things, and that’s putting it politely. Please keep in mind that Jill Biden recently sat at the head chair at the meeting of the Presidential Cabinet.
Perhaps a better and closer to reality opinion would be that Biden has checked-out. I think the younger kids refer to that attitude as “Quiet quitting.
While unknown thousands have been killed in the Ukraine-Russia war (and hundreds of billions of US taxpayer dollars have been pumped to the Kiev government), the Iranian proxy war against Israel is a hairsbreadth away for a nuclear shooting war.
As of now, the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69), USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71), USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) are turning screws just as fast as their nuclear engines can manage, while the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) has left the Western Pacific for the Gulf of Oman. From what I’ve gathered, the Lincoln is widely expected to be joining her sister carriers in the Eastern Mediterranean sometime this week.
That’s just our nuclear Carrier Strike Groups. Keep in mind that the USS Wasp (LHD-1), USS New York (LPD-21), and the USS Oak Hill (LSD-51) are already either in or headed to the Eastern Med. The three mentioned “Amphibs” specialize in just that… amphibious warfare.
Also know that the 24th MEU (Special Operations Capable) is a Marine Expeditionary Unit (a VERY beefed-up Marine infantry battalion) is assigned to the Wasp’s Battle Group.
Interesting that the Biden-Harris Pentagon just announced that only “a small number” of American troops are headed to the Eastern Med warzone. Yeah… 40,000 of our troops are just “a small number.”
All this combined with quite an interesting article just published by Politico.com (certainly no friends to Trump or the MAGA movement) noting just yesterday (emphasis mine);
“The president recently convened a meeting in the Situation Room with his national security officials and urged them to ignore recent setbacks and continue to work with both sides and third-party negotiators to find an agreement.
“Keep fucking trying,” is how Biden recently ended a meeting with the officials, according to one of the participants.”
In all fairness, I’m not 100 percent as to the context of this supposed statement, nor am I 100 percent if he said this in exasperation or in anger.
But in light of Biden forgetting who out of three people was supposed to speak next, along with him literally screaming at his aides… well, there’s that.
