Biden's Non-Existent 'Red Line' in Gaza

Biden's Non-Existent 'Red Line' in Gaza

Nick Kristof asks the wrong questions:

If Biden shows that his red lines are meaningless in Gaza, why should Russia, China or Iran find him credible? If he is too timid to take on an ally dependent on American arms, what reason is there to think he would confront a rival?

We should always be wary of bad credibility arguments no matter what policy we are criticizing.
