Never before have we talked to so many top government officials who, in private, are so worried about so many overseas conflicts at once.
Why it matters: We don't like to sound dire. But to sound a siren of clinical, clear-eyed realism: U.S. officials say this confluence of crises poses epic concern and historic danger.
Behind the scenes: Officials tell us that inside the White House, this was the heaviest, most chilling week since President Biden took office just over 1,000 days ago.
Former Defense Secretary Bob Gates — who ran the Pentagon under presidents of both parties, George W. Bush and Barack Obama — tells us America is facing the most crises since World War II ended 78 years ago.He explains the White House's system overload like this: "There's this gigantic funnel that sits over the table in the Situation Room. And all the problems in the world end up coming through that funnel to the same eight or 10 people. There's a limit to the bandwidth those eight or 10 people can have."

It's important to be informed about outside activities, but we should focus on our own country.

They show what could happen in the future and to be ready for war at all costs. It shows how they can learn and deal with war.
Biden’s paranoid Axis of Evil speech connecting Hamas to Putin to Hitler shows why he’s more insidious and therefore dangerous than Trump. He’ll give Israel just as much diplomatic cover & as many GBU bombs as Trump or any GOP president would, but while empathizing with Muslims.

It was a totally bizarre address. It would not give ordinary Americans any confidence that he is handling international relations well. Indeed, I found the switch from conciliatory to aggression quite fascinating. Biden has serious issues.
@9GD2VTR7mos7MO
I fear the idea of war in our country. The United States need to prevent potential wars.
@9GCXLFS7mos7MO
we should be ready at any time to see war come our way
@9GCXGFD7mos7MO
No idea i think it just sounds bad
@9GCVVPM7mos7MO
It can be scary but the U.S will always finish what other people start.
@9GCVWQR7mos7MO
we need to pulling out of as many conflict zones as possible, unless there is a direct benefit to the american people.
@9GCY9H97mos7MO
I believe that it can incite a panic among the people and that is the most important breaking news, because that could affect the whole of society if someone attempted to invade the US
@9GD28Q9Republican7mos7MO
We need to worry about the U.S not other countries problems we need to figure out our own first.
@9GD2YHF7mos7MO
I think that these people are attacking countries for no good reason and need to be stopped
@P0liticNoraDemocrat7mos7MO
Dominos lined up and Putin and Xi set them off.
@TreatySnailLibertarian7mos7MO
That sounds like Biden foreign policy!
@9GD5XN97mos7MO
I do not want to be drafted and we shouldn't be fighting wars outside our country when ours isn't good
@9GCX7GM7mos7MO
We should focus on keeping ourselves safe before others
@9GD4L7S7mos7MO
the war threats would help protect people to survive each hour during that time.
@9GD4RF87mos7MO
its crazy so much can happen at different places at the same time
@9GD58TL7mos7MO
The news is not to bad, but what i'm mad about is they don't talk about how the real world works. They make it seem like we're living in a dream. When were really not.
@9GDM2SX7mos7MO
we should probably focus on ourselves rather than another countries issues
