After the tragic terror attacks in Kabul today, we are now venturing into extremely dangerous political waters that require wisdom, discipline, and strength... three attributes that our current American president is woefully lacking.
Yes, Joe Biden is a weak, narcissistic man. And he knows it. This is the danger.
When weak men want to prove to the world (literally to the world in this case) that they are not the weak men we all see that they are, there is a danger that they will present some grand gesture of strength to overcompensate for their weakness.
In the case of Joe Biden, this grand gesture of strength will be at the expense of young Americans who wear the uniform of our military. The very real danger right now is that this president will try to prove his courage and strength by exploiting the courage and strength of our troops by putting them in even greater danger than they already are due to this president's weakness.
Look at who Joe Biden is.
He is a weak man who likes to talk tough.
Remember when he tried to show how he'd take on Donald Trump as the Democratic Party's candidate? He was in the midst of a crowded primary for the nomination, and he needed to project strength. So how does a guy like Joe Biden do that?
Former Vice President Joe Biden said he would "beat the hell out of" President Donald Trump if they were in high school over his crude comments about women.
"When a guy who ended up becoming our national leader said, 'I can grab a woman anywhere and she likes it' and then said, 'I made a mistake,'" Biden said Tuesday of Trump, according to video of the remarks posted on Facebook by the University of Miami College Democrats.
"They asked me would I like to debate this gentleman, and I said no. I said, 'If we were in high school, I'd take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him,'" said Biden, getting laughter and applause from the crowd at the University of Miami.
Yeah... Biden's the tough guy, so he threatens to take Trump behind the gym and "beat the hell out of" him. This is what weak men do. They bluster. And Biden is such an obvious weakling that we all laughed about it.
Think about some of the other bizarre moments in Biden's recent past.
The infamous "Cornpop" rant. The entire bizarre, rambling story was meant to project what a tough guy he is.
In Biden’s telling, CornPop was a “bad dude” who “ran a bunch of bad boys”, was armed with a straight-razor and backed by other gang members. And he was threatening to “cut” the future vice-president.
Instead of calling the police, Biden met CornPop and his cronies head on, having armed himself with a 6ft chain. After a standoff, CornPop backed down.
Do you see? Biden, the skinny white guy, confronted the bad dude who ran with a bad gang, and he made the scary black dude back down. Forget the inherent racist tropes built into Biden's yarn, the whole point is to project an image of Biden as the tough guy.
He does this all the time.
Remember when a voter in Michigan confronted him during the campaign? Biden's response was to tell the voter he was "full of sh**" and called him "a horse's ass."
How about when he called a voter a "damn liar" and challenged him to a push-up contest?
Time and time again throughout his career, Biden has defaulted to the faux tough-guy stance with over-the-top gritted teeth and threats of physical violence against a political foe to prove his point. It's become a joke, but only because we all know what a buffoon he is and how his tough-guy posturing doesn't square with his legacy as a weak man who will do what he is told and has never really shown personal strength in standing for anything.

This reflex to talk tough and threaten others is a revealing insight into the man's psyche and his instincts when backed into a corner. When his weakness is exposed, he reacts with over-the-top tough-guy language and threats of violence. It's how he always chooses to prove he's strong.
This is who Joe Biden is and always has been.
The only difference is that now he has the constitutionally granted powers of Commander-in-Chief to use our military to back up his empty threats and to project the strength that he doesn't have.
We must be wary of this.
America will instinctively and reflexively want to rally around any show of strength and retaliation that is framed as a response to these terror attacks. We must be wary that the response to these terrorists is about our dead Marines and the safety and security of Americans still in Afghanistan and not an egotistical reflex of a weak man who is backed into a political corner of his own making.
Weakness begets weakness, and poor decisions beget more poor decisions. Biden has always stood for one thing and one thing only: His own narcissistic political advancement. Until now, it was pathetic and pitiable. Now, it's deadly.
I hope National Review is happy.
Very good article
The fact is Biden threw a temper tantrum. He wanted to do it his way, and when he was challenged had a meltdown and ordered the bugout.
This is the same example of a dementia suffer in action. We saw during the campaign where Biden would go into incoherent rants at any voter who asked him a tough question.
Biden is far too mentally unstable to stay in office. He must be removed at once under the 25th Amendment. Really want anyone capable of this sort or irrational action to be in charge of the US Nuclear Arsenal for 3.5 more years?
Joe does have an ego, I’ve watched him in crowds, and he is a narcissist. His use of his dead son today and the “surrender” in his voice, and then We will hunt you down” means he is willing to sacrifice more marines to satisfy his ego. The question is, will he start a nuclear war to hide his weakness?

...as well as a pathological liar.
Leftists make horrible Presidents, or holders of any kind of government office, at any level.
Very very true
Too many of them are found in all levels of public school administration.
Very True
kamal then needs to be removed because she’s ineligible AND also unqualifed
giving lewinskis and having affairs to get into politics, are not qualifications for president, and thats really the only things we know for sure she did
Not to worry, doc jill's hand is firmly on the helm.
He’s an idiot who thinks he can just will away any problem with words.
All his life, words, stolen or not, have defined his reality, not the other way around.
Dont buy this is about his ego..the Chinese bought biden.
With everybody laughing at his faux bravado..including ISIS..he’s even more deadly.
They should not be afforded any stature above that of thanking them for their service - and then only IF they truly serve. They should never be allowed to stay in office more than a few terms, and they should never become rich from their offices. If they make money in unrelated ways, good for them, but not from lobbying and using their office to enrich themselves.
Our justice system also belongs to US, not to lawyers or judges. We should NEVER have to stand in court as a judge enters the chamber or have to refer to them as ‘your honor’. Instead, people should remain seated in court when a judge enters, and the judge should then make a pledge to the people in the courtroom that he or she will do their utmost to be unbiased and to seek blind justice. They should have to swear this every single time they enter a courtroom. NOT be treated like royalty.
We should NEVER tolerate FBI agents, or anyone in government who looks down their nose at those they are supposed to be serving - as did Strzok when he said he could ‘smell the Trump voters’.
During his Presidential election campaign Biden said “I don't work for you” to a citizen who told him he did. He does! That's his job - to work for us, earning his taxpayer-paid salary. He doesn't do anything else. He doesn't build anything. He doesn't provide a service, or make a product. He's supposed to work for us and represent us. But that's not what the narcissists who seek public office see themselves as. They see themselves as the elite. Our betters. But they're not. They're generally pathetic.
Excellent post!
Joe Biden will do exactly NOTHING to revenge the 13 that fell today. Mark my words, he will do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
Except get more killed
