Is there anything in the cards which could change the trajectory of the 2024 election over the next nine months? It didn’t happen in December or January.

Axios:

“The U.S. on Friday began striking Iran-linked targets in Syria and Iraq in response to last weekend’s deadly attack on U.S. forces in Jordan, the U.S. Central Command said.

The big picture: While President Biden faced pressure from some lawmakers to strike inside Iran, U.S. officials have stressed the administration does not want to see a wider war in the region.

The retaliatory strikes, which were launched at Biden’s direction and are expected to last several days, hit 85 targets linked to Iran or Iranian proxies in Syria and Iraq, the U.S. said.

In the last week, Joe Biden has launched air strikes in Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Somalia. American troops are still under attack by militias all over the region. We are edging closer toward war with Iran. Deterrence has failed. Israel is getting ready to invade Lebanon. Palestinians are starving to death in Gaza.

2024 is shaping up to be a foreign policy nightmare for Joe Biden with the war in Gaza spiraling in the Middle East, the onset of famine in Gaza and Ukraine aid dying in Congress.
