#1 What type of support Joe? The way the Obama administration supports Israel or the way it supports Iran?

#3 Bluster and Showtime.

Why get your huevos rancheros caught in a vice if you don't need to? Avoid entangling alliances. You tried twice in the 20th Century to save them at great expense in men and resources. And they enjoy the lavish military welfare you fork over to them while dealing behind your back and showing no real indication that they are as concerned about their own future. They expect the US to commit suicide (nuclear exchange) on their behalf. Really?

#4 The amount of damage Obama did with the red line he wasn't serious about is incalculable. Biden can pretend to stand tough right now. I don't see Germany ramping up to defend the Balkins at this point and most of Europe is distracted as well.

Basically Biden should be telling the Balkin nations to lay low and be nice to the Big Bear and hope sanity and responsibility returns to the west.

The Balkans are screwed as well. It'll just be a few years later.
