The “Don’t” Doctrine - Saturday’s attack on Israel has laid bare the failure of Biden’s strategy of pressure on allies and meekness toward Iran.

This is likely not Biden’s fault. It is probably Barak 0bama and Valerie Jarrett’s plan. Biden is just following orders.

The only strategy Biden and Co. have is a large supply of white flags.

Even the communist imbeciles who pull his strings must know articulation of the “Don’t” doctrine followed by inaction makes him sound like a feckless idiot to even low information voters

Biden is incapable of formulating more than a one word response. Very embarrassing. His brain is mush.

He wasn’t saying “don’t” to Iran. He was saying “don’t” to American oil producers.

“..President Biden reportedly dissuading Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from greenlighting a retaliatory strike, partly because Iran’s drone and missile barrage caused so little damage.“

Why wasn’t this “logic” used for J6???

All those prisoners should basically have to pay for a broken window or two and maybe some carpet cleaning… but no, they’re facing YEARS in the American gulag.

The “don’t doctrine” ii Biden again doing what he does best, plagiarizing.

The “don’t” idea was borrowed from parents, who warn their sons/daughters to not do something they could be punished for. “Don’t” do that, don’t go there, don’t play rough, don’t ea that, don’t talk back, etc.

T
he country has devolved into a childish method of foreign policy and national defense.

And just like children often rebel against what parents don’t want them to do, our enemies often go and do what Biden and company tell them to ‘don’t’ do.

Biden’s childish foreign policy is the stupidest ever. But, stupid is as stupid does.

Biden is a puppet of the CCP, but even they can’t keep him from tangling up the strings they’ve attached to him so badly that he makes a fool not only of himself, but of them!

I wouldn’t let Biden off the hook on this. He has never had a clue about foreign policy, and with his judgment even more impaired by dementia, he thinks he is doing a fine job. He told Putin a “minor border incursion ” would not trigger a response. He now tells the mullahs just keep it within certain limits.

He thinks he can just tinker with events and fine tune the policies of the enemy. Delusional. Dangerous stuff, and getting worse.

It’s really just the same failed Obama “don’t call my bluff” strategy. He says “no” with his mouth while signaling “yes” with all his actions.

In addition the Biden cabal is lying about the Iranian attack, trying to spin the attack as not successful or very damaging as if that was Iran’s intentions, pretending Iran was not seeking a very damaging result. They are falsely minimizing Iranian intentions based on the results, when everyone knows the results had noting to do with Iranian intentions and everything to do with the mulitple defenses put up against the attack.

There is no,actual power to back,up the “dont”, and the world knows it- the world knows that biden will always capitulate to terrorist demands, and so the “dont” was for the cameras, not an actual threat of retaliation if the terrorists did, which they did!

Had president Trump said “don’t”, you can bet Iran wouldn’t have because they know he means it, and that he does not capitulate to, and placate terrorists!

What's laughable is how John Kirby only wants to talk about the United States' response to the attack and the missiles we shot down (and armament we spent).

He doesn't want to talk about our diplomatic failure to prevent the attack in the first place.

It's the classic story of the person who wants credit for putting out the fire that they failed to prevent in the first place.

Bingo . Piles of cash by Barry O. fortunately this was discovered.

Barry plan is to fundamentally change America, and if its to a Muslim controlled country thats ok.

The farce of electing him to right some perceived civil justice showing through. in the actions of Joey, who was there when this plan was hatched.

So John. What % did the US shoot down versus the other countries. No one will ask that simple question.
