Joe Biden's 'Don't Doctrine'
John Kirby, Joe Biden's National Security Communications Advisor, had a difficult day Monday, dealing with Peter Doocy. Doocy questioned him about Biden's policy of telling foreign adversaries "Don't" right before these adversaries ignore Biden and they attack.
Kirby did his best to spin this episode as insignificant, saying that Biden said "Don't" on Friday, only to have Iran invade Israel Saturday night. This is how Kirby tried spinning it:
This isn't an act of deterrence. The definition of deterrence is "to discourage or restrain from acting or proceeding" or "to prevent; check; arrest." It's irrelevant that the USAF and the IDF knocked down 99% of the missiles and drones. The point is that Iran didn't think twice about attacking Israel. That isn't that surprising historically-speaking because Biden told Putin "Don't" right before Putin invaded Ukraine. Apparently, Biden hasn't figured it out that "Don't" isn't a deterrent. Can anyone picture China not invading Taiwan because Biden says "Don't"? I can picture Xi laughing if Biden said "Don't" but I can't see him taking Biden seriously. Why take this idiot seriously? This Democrat's brains have turned to mush if he thinks that telling Putin not to wage a cyberattack means that Putin won't attack. I wouldn't respect him at that point. This case of Biden saying something tough-sounding, then acting like the wimp he's been the past3+ years is getting tiresome. I can't take him seriously because, to use a tired cliche, Biden is all hat and no cattle. Put differently, he's just another corrupt politician.DOOCY TIME: “John, has President Biden considered maybe beefing up the public Iran posture to be more than just one word?”
