This is bad on multiple fronts: 1) It shows Biden's forgetfulness/age, and 2) It shows his weak and counterproductive approach on FP where he publicly brags about making demands of an ally fighting a terrorist group instead of those protecting that terrorist group. Even if your position is that Israel shouldn't go into Rafah, the only reason to keep saying it publicly is to appease extremists in his base. All while doing so necessarily undermines any pressure on Hamas to release hostages or surrender.

But this is the entire point. This admin treats allies how you should treat enemies (constant pressure with demands and threats) while treating enemies like allies (asking them nicely to comply, private negotiations etc.) x.com/realobser/stat…

@AGHamilton29 @davereaboi But that’s if you want to attract people to be your allies. However, if you regard your allies as your children and think of them as wholly dependent on you, then you correct them, scold them, guilt them and shame them. Because you can. Then they stop wanting to be allies.
@AGHamilton29 He treats Americans like he treats allies too - as enemies.
@AGHamilton29 It's literally the Trump strategy.
@AGHamilton29 I actually disagree with this. I think Biden's FP flaw is that he doesn't hold allies accountable at all - Ukraine, Israel, etc.
@AGHamilton29 Maybe he meant to tell the Iranians in private not to attack Israel but instead he told them “ attack dimona “ I mean he’s not really there anymore
