Biden’s Blunder: Mixing Up Missiles and Union Negotiations
In a stunning display of confusion that has become all too familiar, President Joe Biden once again demonstrated his tenuous grip on reality.
Surprise surprise…
When asked about Israeli airstrikes in Yemen, our Commander-in-Chief responded by discussing collective bargaining and settling strikes. It’s as if he can’t tell the difference between missiles raining down on terrorists and dock workers picketing for better wages. This level of incompetence would be comical if it weren’t so terrifying.
Take a look:
The incident occurred as Biden was preparing to board Air Force One at Dover Air Force Base. A reporter asked him about the strikes in Yemen, to which Biden responded with this gem of incoherence:
“I’ve spoken to both sides. They got to settle the strike. I’m supporting the collective bargaining effort. I think they’ll settle the strike,” the president said.
It’s clear that Biden was completely oblivious to the fact that he was being asked about a critical military operation, not some domestic labor dispute.
WATCH: Biden confuses Israel’s “strike” in Yemen with union “strikes.”
"Any comment on the strikes in Yemen, Mr. President!?"

A Pattern of Dangerous Incompetence
This latest gaffe is just one in a long line of concerning incidents that raise serious questions about Biden’s mental acuity. Just last week, at a Quad leaders summit in Delaware, Biden lost track of who he was supposed to introduce, asking “Who am I introducing next?” and “Who’s next?” like a confused game show host. The fact that this man has his finger on the nuclear button should send chills down the spine of every American.
“So, I want to thank you all being here, and now, who am I introducing next?”
The timing of this latest blunder couldn’t be worse. Israel has been engaged in a conflict with the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen since July, responding to drone attacks on Tel Aviv. The situation in the Middle East is a powder keg, and we have a President who can’t even keep track of which conflicts are happening where. How can we expect him to navigate these complex geopolitical waters when he can’t even answer a simple question without veering wildly off course?
We are on the verge of World War Three…don’t forget that.
