“The slip-of-the-tongue from Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin was kind of saying the quiet part out loud,” Federalist Senior Editor John Daniel Davidson told Fox News’s Laura Ingraham. “There are people and there are forces in the Biden administration and in the government, and especially in Washington, in both parties that would like the U.S. to get directly involved in this conflict. They have reasons of their own for wanting that, but they know they can’t just kind of come out and do it right away or declare war, that the American people aren’t behind them.”
“And so they’re kind of slow-walking us toward direct engagement … and we’re seeing it now with this visit from the secretary of defense and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, with the increasing complexity in advanced weapons and troop training that’s going on, and we’re being lulled into involvement in this war, and I’m afraid it’s going to get much more obvious in the weeks to come,” he added.
