For months prior to the start of the Russia-Ukraine War, I wrote more than a few op-eds chastising Joe Biden for essentially sitting on his hands. For months Putin was amassing troops in Russia along the border of Ukraine and Russia. While our illustrious commander-in-chief did nothing, the massive Russian troop build-up continued to increase, and in February, 2022, Russia attacked Ukraine. At that time what did Joe Biden think? Certainly Putin was not lining up 100,000 troops just for fun! However, Joe Biden appeared to be paralyzed … paralyzed with indecision.
At that time I was criticized by some for being too rough on “poor Joe Biden.” To those who were on my case for coming down on “poor Joe Biden,” I ask, “How did Biden’s fickle indecisiveness work out?”
Unfortunately, we were now in another one of Joe Biden’s indecisive periods with the what to do about the Houthi’s attacks on shipping in the Red Sea. Shortly after becoming President JB removed the Houthi’s from the list of terror organizations after former President Donald Trump’s administration had designated the Houthis as a terror organization. Certainly at this point with the Houthi’s terrorizing shipping lanes in the vital Red Sea by launching more than 100 drone and missile attacks against civilian transport ships, the Houthi’s are in clear violation of international law, and are clearly a terrorist group.
Biden’s response -> nothing! … indecision! inertia!
Hopefully Biden will not continue to fiddle while the Red Sea burns! It’s only a matter of time until an American gets killed as a consequence of a Houthi drone or missile!
