Peace through strength.
That’s how President Trump governed….and it worked!
Now?
Conflict through weakness.
The frail, cognitively-challenged Biden is a sitting duck for countries that don’t like us, and the attacks are already starting.
Recently we saw the Chinese diplomats address our delegates rudely for the whole world to see and nothing was done about it.
And now Iranian boats ignored radio warnings and attempted to attack one of our war ships on Monday in the Persian Gulf.
Anyone think they would have tried with with Trump as Commander-In-Chief?
Me either.
More on this new development:
Armed Iranian attack boats harassed U.S. ships yet again this Monday night. This time, a U.S. ship fired warning shots and the boats retreated. Meanwhile, the Biden administration is trying desperately to re-enter the #Iran nuclear deal:https://t.co/hfBTcYit5k

A US Navy patrol coastal ship fired warning shots at three Iranian armed speed boats on Monday. The media reported they were harassing U.S. vessels in the Persian Gulf. How can Iran harass US vessels in the Persian Gulf? It’s Iran’s territory. pic.twitter.com/mL6D6njaWR

The Western Journal had more to say:
Three Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy armed speedboats were met with warning shots from a U.S. warship after they came within 68 yards of U.S. naval vessels in the Persian Gulf on Monday, according to a statement from the U.S. Navy Fifth Fleet in Bahrain
U.S. Navy patrol craft USS Firebolt and U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Baranof were “conducting routine maritime security operations in international waters” at approximately 8 p.m. local time when the Iranian boats “rapidly approached … with unknown intent.”
This was a clear violation of international maritime law.
The report stated that “Throughout the interaction, U.S. forces proactively communicated with the IRGCN vessels and executed pre-planned responses to reduce the risk of miscalculation, avoid a collision, and to de-escalate the situation.
Finally, Firebolt’s crew fired off several warning shots, at which point the Iranian speedboats rethought the wisdom of harassing the U.S. vessels and moved away.
The Navy said the “IRGCN’s actions increased the risk of miscalculation and/or collision, were not in accordance with the internationally recognized Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) ‘rules of the road’ or internationally recognized maritime customs.”
They’re all surely beginning to realize that we have a weak president in power, a president who could put us back into war.
This Twitter user is spot on:

Of course this never happened under President Trump.
Business Insider had more to chip in:
A US Navy ship fired warning shots after three armed Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IRGCN) fast-attack boats came “unnecessarily close” to it and another American ship in the Persian Gulf on Monday evening, 5th Fleet said Tuesday.
At around 8 pm on Monday, the IRGCN speed boats closed rapidly with the US Navy coastal patrol ship USS Firebolt and the US Coast Guard patrol boat USCGC Baranoff, which were conducting maritime security operations in international waters.
The US Navy said in a statement that the Iranian vessels closed to within 68 yards with “unknown intent.”
The American vessels issued warnings over the radio to the IRGCN boats, but there was no change in behavior. The US Navy ship then fired warning shots. The IRGCN fast-attack vessels moved away after the shots were fired.
The US Navy said in a statement that US forces maintained communication with the IRGCN vessels and “executed pre-planned responses to reduce the risk of miscalculation, avoid a collision, and to de-escalate the situation.”
The service said that the “IRGCN’s actions increased the risk of miscalculation and/or collision,” adding that while the US “is not an aggressor,” US forces are trained “to conduct effective defensive measures when necessary.”
We enjoyed four years of international stability under President Trump because of how he always put America first.
He built a government no one dared messed with, and they all took it for granted.
Now, we are all about to reap the sour fruits they sowed in 2020.
I shall leave you with more reactions on Twitter:

This is a brutal reminder of what U.S. fire will do to a fragile Iranian speedboat. #Iran #Irannucleardeal #military #USCoastGuard #USNavy https://t.co/vM0CwUdZOx

Iran is the principal obstacle to peace and security in the Middle East.
The regime continues to destabilize the region, provoke and attack American service members, and threaten our allies. https://t.co/bbSBPu1Aiz
