If you venture beyond the subtitle you may discover that the author is not suggesting military intervention by the US in Tunisia. He is pointing out that Biden is returning to the traditional hypocrisy of US foreign policy by offering lip service to democratic movements while failing to support them or even to bring readily at hand economic pressure upon dictators. Trump was a departure from this hypocrisy, because he was a crude dude who didn’t even pretend to be interested in supporting democratic movements in other countries.
