President Biden has made his view on responding to foreign attacks painfully clear: America will help its allies fight back fiercely — as long as they don’t cause their enemies too much damage.
Wouldn’t want to risk escalating the situation, don’t you know.
It’s a clear recipe for losing and has already proved a tragic failure with foes like Russia, Iran, China, Hamas, the Taliban . . . .
Worst of all, it guarantees the one thing Biden supposedly fears most: more warfare.
Take Russia. Biden backs Ukraine in its fight to roll back Moscow’s illegal invasion, yet he insists Kyiv defend itself with its hands tied behind its back — as Vladimir Putin beats his chest and rattles his nukes.
