Tensions between Israel and Hamas escalate as President Joe Biden faces criticism over his ability to handle global conflicts. With Kamala Harris potentially stepping in, and Donald Trump eyeing a return, America's safety is under scrutiny. Can Biden manage a crisis, or is it time for new leadership to navigate these dangerous waters and ensure national security?
Is the world still sufficiently protected with an American president who may not be fit to hold office? Tensions between Israel and Hamas continue to rise. Today, August 5, 2024, the slowly retiring US President Joe Biden convened his national security advisers at the White House. It is expected that the conflict between these two countries will soon escalate significantly. This

could also prompt further escalation in the rest of the Middle East.
Who Can Overrule Joe Biden in an Emergency?
Joe Biden vowed not to become a war president when he took office in 2021. Unfortunately, the situation today is different. The United States supports Ukraine in its fight against Russia, and Israel supports Hamas. In Africa, the Americans support the Houthis and are regularly targeted by drone attacks in the Syrian-Jordanian border area. Thus, according to Mr. Peter Wijninga of the Hague Centre for Strategic Studies, Joe Biden has essentially been a war president for a long time.
Is Hamas Helping Joe Biden Learn How to Wage War?
Mr. Wijninga suggests that America has been involved in various global conflicts for a long time. Joe Biden, initially perceived as a pacifist, might be using these experiences to prepare for larger escalations that could involve the United States. However, is the current president capable of handling a war without making mistakes? We all know the stories of a president who must push a decisive button in a possible nuclear war, both in attack and defense. Such an action could have disastrous consequences for many people.
What Happens if Biden Panics or His Memory Fails Him?
Is Kamala Harris ready to replace Biden correctly in a war situation? According to a Belgian newspaper, she is talking to her three potential running mates for the upcoming elections in America. Does the prospective new president of the United States consider the war experience of these running mates? Can they acquire the necessary knowledge quickly enough to be strong in a potential third world war? Imagine the Middle East conflict and the Russia-Ukraine battle escalating simultaneously, forcing America to fight Russia. For Harris, choosing a running mate might be her last significant decision before the elections on November 5.
Does Trump Play a Role in Replacing Biden?
It's all speculation, but Harris might be preparing for nothing. Suppose Joe Biden completes his term, and the elections proceed normally; we could then face the elderly billionaire, Donald Trump. How would Trump handle these looming war situations? Trump's intimidating stature and fearless handling of Vladimir Putin and other perceived enemies of the Western world during his previous term might argue in his favor. However, there are also doubts about Trump, particularly his age.
Are There Any Other Possible Solutions?
Trump, who the American Press claims fears Harris and avoids her during the current campaign, announced today that he will debate her on September 4 on Fox News. We'll wait and see. As the current Vice President, Kamala Harris will initially step in if Joe Biden doesn't complete his term, but is she capable of managing a potential world war? Harris has won over women in America with her abortion stance and has the African American community's support due to her background.
Are There Any Doubts About Kamala Harris?
America wouldn't be America if there weren't doubts about Harris. Stories circulate about her perceived invisibility in her current role as vice president. Some say she has achieved too little. Others suggest she was assigned heavy tasks and didn't always perform well. According to political scientist Markha Valenta at the University of Utrecht, Harris even lacks charisma. Valenta says, "She is strong in content but finds it difficult to refute a negative image ridiculed by Republicans." Many dismiss Harris as ineffective.
Will "The Button" and Its "Operator" Be Managed Properly?
To be clear, "The red nuclear missile launch button does not exist." However, the president does have a card with the nuclear codes, known as the "biscuit," which is carried in a briefcase called "The Football." This briefcase follows the president everywhere and contains a manual and a menu to set in motion the possible launch of nuclear missiles. Unfortunately, no constitutional ways can stop the president from launching a nuclear missile—not even the U.S. Senate or Supreme Court. If the president makes a mistake, they have a few minutes to reverse it. If not, the consequences could be catastrophic.
The question now is: To whom do we want to entrust that briefcase—Harris, Trump, or Biden? Who do you prefer? Let me know!
