US President Joe Biden has condemned Iranian attacks on military facilities in Israel, pledging a coordinated Group of Seven (G7) diplomatic response while highlighting the United States’s help in taking down “nearly all” of the attacking drones and missiles.
Biden, who cut short a trip to Delaware and returned to Washington, DC to meet advisers over the late Saturday night attack, said in a statement released by the White House that the US forces and facilities had not been hit.
The US president said he reiterated the “ironclad” support for Israel’s security in a call with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with whom he has had strained relations over Israel’s handling of the war in Gaza.
“Tomorrow, I will convene my fellow G7 leaders to coordinate a united diplomatic response to Iran’s brazen attack,” he said.
“And while we have not seen attacks on our forces or facilities today, we will remain vigilant to all threats and will not hesitate to take all necessary action to protect our people,” he said.
What do you mean? He knows young democrats will just fall in line no matter what he does because he’s not trump.
And if they don’t, he can count on other Democrats to try and browbeat them and shame them into voting for him no matter what he does, screeching, “But Trump!” as loud as they can.
He sure is trying his best to make his actions indefensible to as wide a swath of the Democratic electorate as he can, now, and just banking on “Hey, I tossed you a few crumbs, and have you seen the other guy?”
Young democrats are probably the ones least likely to fall in line.
>looks at the uncommitted movement
Yeah I don’t think it’s going to work this time.
Sure but that movement is full of shortsighted morons.
They’re very clearly pushing Democrats and especially Biden on this issue.
If it weren’t for the uncommitted movement I have no doubt that the US would have responded to Iran striking back at Israel.
