Then why is your Embassy in Lebanon telling the 401K'ers to get the hell out of dodge, go back to America and have a Big Mac?
Surely the Christians in Palestine or elsewhere don't have it in for you people right?

Ummm....why are we blaming America for this?
Hamas massacred a ton of Israelis, the Israelis responded by shelling Gaza and are preparing for a ground invasion. The Middle East is now a much more dangerous place for Americans. The State Department is simply notifying people that these are dangerous areas for Americans to travel to.
That's not America's fault. It has nothing to do with whether Biden is respected or not. Not everything revolves around the US.

A strong America prevents the bad actors of the world from acting up and lashing out.
What we're seeing right now is what happens when you have a *weak* America.

No it doesn't. Bad actors of the world act up and lash out all the time - constantly, forever, and irrespective of whether America is perceived as "weak" or "strong." Bad actors have their own assessments of their interests, incentives, and motivations - and for many (most) of them, the relative strength of America is a trivial factor in their assessments.
The conflict between the Israelis and the various terror groups in the region has been going on for decades. Very little of it is directly affected by whether those terror groups "respect" the President or not. I expect that those groups have always regarded all US Presidents as weak in their eyes, and in terms of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict care about the US only to the extent that we provide material military resources to Israel. Otherwise, they are entirely concerned solely with regional actors.
It's farcical to pretend otherwise. Hamas doesn't care who the President is. Neither does Hezbollah.

Bush's Fault.
Trump's Fault.
Buck stops here.
Ok, thank you TMF Left.
It is indeed America's fault.
And fleeing the embassy like good Woke Bedwetters isn't a sign of being respected abroad.
Sorry Liberals, " being respected in the world" is code for bending over for Europe time and again.

And just to amplify that point: Iranian-backed terror groups are attacking US troops now, in multiple places:
https://redstate.com/streiff/2023/10/19/us-navy-de...Wednesday night, the Arleigh Burke-class Aegis-equipped guided-missile destroyer USS Carney engaged three cruise missiles and approximately eight drones launched by Iran-backed Houthi terrorists operating in Yemen. The missiles were all destroyed, as were the drones. The Carney incident is covered starting at 1:15 in the video below.https://twitter.com/ABC/status/1715088655512199534...(The
Carney incident is discussed here)
https://twitter.com/CBSEveningNews/status/17147916...Two military bases that house U.S. troops in Iraq were targeted with drone attacks on Wednesday. The Islamic Resistance, a group of Iranian-backed militias claimed responsibility for the attacks and threatened more to come. There were minor injuries to U.S. troops reported at the Al-Asad Airbase.Iran does not engage anyone directly. They have their proxy terror groups for that.

Dope:
Yes, it does. We'll just have to agree to disagree here.
And BTW, the current chaos extends WELL PAST the Middle East. And incidents have been going on for years over different Presidents, including Trump.

"We went too far blaming Trump and Bush for stuff they had nothing to do with"
Libs can't admit it.
All they said all those years "hey, the buck stops here".
Fine.
It's Biden's fault.
Respected my bum bum.
So close your embassies and run like little girls.
"Respect" - translation: We like America going to war for Europe over and over again.
So quit it.
Run run run Americans. No, you aren't respected.
