[DemocratSinceBirth]

PER CNN

1. Holy

Shit

[SickOfTheOnePct]

2. I

don’t like this at all

[MOMFUDSKI]

4. Joe is going to be a Statesman

even if it kills him. I trust his judgement implicitly but this is scary stuff. He is telling Iran to stuff it.

[Sympthsical]

7. Didn't have anxiety on my bingo card this week

I think this will be the first time I've ever felt anxious about a president going somewhere. Even Ukraine had a veritable Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade of politicians flowing in and out, so it didn't bother me.

This situation feels less stable.

I wonder how people will react to this pretty unprecedentedly ironclad show of support for Israel. With the usual nuance one suspects.

But, yes. Anxious. If anything happens, the situation can get much worse. In war, things can always get worse.

I'm just going to assume all of the American military and security forces know what they're doing.

10. I think he's in good hands.

There is enhanced risk. But I’m confident the security plan for his visit will be good and well executed. And as you mentioned it’s a strong show of support.

[Sympthsical]

11. If they say it's ok, I'm going to assume it's ok

But the entire situation lends itself to peripheral anxiety.

Whatever. Bought Oreos. It will ameliorate things.

[BannonsLiver]

13. Enjoy your Oreos!

I think what you wrote in the subject line is the best way to look at it.

[Retrograde]

16. Neither do I (nt)

[True Dough]

3. Bookmarking!

Will be lots of interesting opinions in this thread.

[Kingofalldems]

5. Bone Spurs would never do that.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

6. He's going to be apoplectic.

[bullwinkle428]

9. He'll put out a post claiming he has the ability to rescue all of

the hostages single-handedly.

[tritsofme]

8. An incredibly brave and bold gesture of friendship and leadership by President Biden!

[WarGamer]

12. Tel Aviv is 60km north of Gaza...

AF1 will approach over the Med with heavy US force present...

Hamas has NOTHING in GAZA that can take a shot that far away... and those in the region who DO have that kind of capability wouldn't dare.

He'll be just fine.

[GuppyGal]

15. +1000

[nolabear]

14. Well, it's unnerving, but what a great man.

This is an act of sheer bravery, and support. The negotiations about getting aid to Gaza are also truly remarkable. Well done!

17. So he arrives today, Tuesday (NT)
