Joni Ernst Slams President Biden for Weakness in Defending U.S. Troops<\/h2>\n<p>Sen. Joni \u2064Ernst (R-IA), a former military \u2064commander with 23\u200c years of service, including in Kuwait and Iraq, passionately criticized President Biden for\u2062 his lack of\u2064 action in protecting U.S. troops from repeated attacks by Iran&#8217;s proxies. \u2063She called\u200b on Biden to be more aggressive in pushing back against \u200dthese threats.<\/p>\n<p>Ernst expressed her disappointment in \u2063the president&#8217;s response to the attacks during an\u2062 interview with Fox News&#8217; Maria Bartiromo. Bartiromo highlighted\u2062 the alarming \u2064statistic\u2064 that U.S. troops had been attacked 75 \u200dtimes \u200bin the Middle East\u200d since October \u206217 and asked for Ernst&#8217;s assessment of the White \u2063House&#8217;s handling of the situation.<\/p>\n<p>Ernst firmly stated \u200cher dissatisfaction, saying, &#8220;I am sorely disappointed in the \u200cpresident and his\u200b lack of \u2064response when our troops are being targeted. We need to be\u2064 much more aggressive in pushing back. It is our right \u2064and responsibility to ensure the safety of our men and women in uniform.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She further emphasized the urgency of the matter, referring to discussions at \u200cthe Reagan National Defense \u200cForum where even Leon Panetta, a \u2064former\u2062 Secretary of Defense and Director\u200c of\u200d the \u200cCIA, criticized the \u2063administration&#8217;s response. Ernst stressed the need \u200cfor a stronger stance against \u2063Iran,\u200c warning that the situation would \u200donly escalate with a weak response.<\/p>\n<p>Ernst had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/secy-of-state-china-failures-allowed-pandemic-to-get-worse\/\" title=\"Secy. of State: China failures allowed pandemic to get worse\">previously voiced concerns<\/a> about Biden&#8217;s weakness in dealing with threats against \u2062U.S. troops. In an earlier appearance on \u200bFox News, she discussed the Israel-Hamas conflict and the growing attacks from Iran-backed Hezbollah. \u2063Ernst agreed with\u200b Senator Lindsey Graham&#8217;s assertion that\u200d Iran\u200d was behind these actions and \u2063criticized Biden for appeasing Iran instead of\u2064 standing\u200c up to them.<\/p>\n<p>She urged President Biden and Secretary of State\u2064 Antony Blinken to take more decisive action against Iran, including interdicting their oil and \u2063enforcing sanctions. Ernst emphasized the\u200d importance of pushing back against terrorism globally and reminded Biden that the War\u2063 on Terror is not over.<\/p>\n<p>It is clear that Sen. Joni Ernst is passionate about defending U.S. troops and believes that President Biden\u2064 must show\u200b more\u2064 strength and determination in \u2062protecting them from\u200c Iran&#8217;s proxies.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What specific actions does Sen. Ernst believe should be taken to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nearly-60-us-troops-injured-in-55-attacks-in-iraq-and-syria-in-a-month\/\" title=\"Nearly 60 US troops injured in 55 attacks in Iraq and Syria in a month\">deter future assaults<\/a> and prioritize the safety of American servicemen and women\u200c deployed in \u200dthe Middle East?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Ack against Iran and prioritizing the safety of American military\u2062 forces.<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fda-has-gone-rogue-by-approving-covid-19-boosters-without-clinical-trials-dr-robert-malone\/\" title=\"FDA Approves COVID-19 Boosters Without Trials: Dr. Robert Malone\">recent press\u2063 conference<\/a>, Sen. Joni Ernst expressed her dissatisfaction with President\u200c Biden&#8217;s response to\u2062 the constant attacks targeting American\u200c troops by Iran&#8217;s proxies. As a former military commander with an extensive background in the region, her \u2064<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/elon-musk-visits-u-s-southern-border-to-highlight-bidens-border-crisis\/\" title=\"Elon Musk visits US border to shed light on Biden's border crisis.\">concerns carry weight<\/a> and highlight the urgent\u2063 need for stronger defense measures.<\/p>\n<p>Having served in \u2064Kuwait and Iraq,\u200c Sen. \u2064Ernst understands firsthand the dangers faced by our troops deployed in the Middle East. She passionately criticized President Biden for what she perceives as a\u2062 lack of action in protecting these brave men and women. Her experience, combined with her\u200d dedication to the well-being of our military forces, gives her a unique perspective on this\u200c issue.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Ernst emphasized the importance\u200d of being aggressive in\u200b pushing back against Iran&#8217;s relentless attacks on U.S. troops. She believes that a more assertive stance is necessary to deter future assaults and ensure the safety of American\u200c servicemen and women serving in the region. The senator called on President Biden \u2064to prioritize the defense of our troops and take concrete actions to address this pressing issue.<\/p>\n<p>The repeated attacks on American forces by \u2064Iran&#8217;s proxies are a clear violation of international \u2063norms and undermine the stability \u200band security of the region.\u2064 It\u2064 is crucial to hold those \u2062responsible\u200d accountable and send a strong message to Iran that such actions will not be tolerated.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, safeguarding\u200b the lives of our \u2063military personnel should be a top priority for any administration. Sen. Ernst&#8217;s critique highlights what many perceive as a weakness in President Biden&#8217;s \u2062approach\u200c to national defense.\u2064 The President must demonstrate a resolute determination to protect American troops \u200cand defend their interests.<\/p>\n<p>President\u200b Biden&#8217;s response to Sen. Ernst&#8217;s criticism remains to be seen, but it is\u2064 essential for him to heed her call for stronger action against Iran&#8217;s proxies. He must\u200c exhibit leadership and devise a robust \u200cstrategy that ensures the safety of our \u200dtroops while deterring further \u2064attacks.<\/p>\n<p>It is imperative for the United States\u2063 to stand firmly\u200d in defense of its military personnel. They are the backbone of our nation&#8217;s security and \u2064put their lives on the line\u200d every\u2063 day to protect\u2062 our freedoms. It is \u2064the duty of our leaders, including President Biden, to\u2063 support and\u2064 defend them.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, Sen. \u2062Joni Ernst&#8217;s remarks \u2062on President Biden&#8217;s weakness in defending U.S. troops shed light on a critical issue. As a \u200cformer\u2064 military commander, her perspective carries significant weight and underscores the urgency \u2064for stronger action. It is imperative for\u2063 the President\u2063 to prioritize the safety of our military forces and take the necessary measures to confront Iran&#8217;s proxies. Our \u2064troops deserve nothing less than\u2064 unwavering support and protection from our leaders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
