The words “red line” have now become almost meaningless thanks to a statement made by Russia and Iran this week.
Russia and Iran aren’t the first nations to misuse the term. That distinction goes to Barack Obama. In 2012, then-president Obama issued a “red line” warning against Bashar al-Assad: If Assad uses chemical weapons, the United State military will respond.
But Assad did — and Obama didn’t.
Four-and-a-half years later, Donald Trump finally made good on Obama’s promise, but the damage had already been done. The “red line” was already viewed as a farce.
But this week, Iran and Russia are bringing the term back. This time, however, they’re using it against the United States.
