Agree bold is not President Biden’s middle name. The downside in doing just enough to support Ukraine and contain Iran is that it will not be sufficient in an election year with Republican opposition attacking his policies as both warmongering and not hawkish enough. I have no idea the appropriate number or location required for our troop placements to support current containment policies. If it were not an election year, it would not be required to ‘show react’ to every Iran provocation. I am sure that I am not nostalgic for Trump narcissistic foreign policy. I get we need bold, but not looking for the Wizard of Mara-logo to return behind the curtain.
