Soundtrack for this post:
Yesterday, in one day, the Biden administration managed to bend the knee to both Hamas and China.
In separate statements, the administration sided with Hamas by ignoring the hostages and demanding that Israel implement a ceasefire with a terrorist entity that has rejected every offer of ceasefire — and hours later
Earlier today Biden and Benjamin Netanyahu held a tense phone call in which Biden spectacularly laid the responsibility of deescalation at Israel’s feet. After 20 years in Afghanistan in which Biden re-installed the Taliban, Biden is lecturing Israel for taking mere months to eliminate Hamas. The president who indiscriminately droned innocents in Afghanistan (including children) and droned four Americans in 2009, is lecturing Israel about a precision strike that accidentally killed six aid workers in Gaza. (Jose Andres, the far-left Hamas-friendly celebrity “chef” whose NGO was providing meals to Gazans with much-hyped, self-aggrandizing PR, was silent on whether or not he also prepared meals for Hamas’s hostages and rape victims.)
Meanwhile Netanyahu is losing support in Israel while being accused of slow-walking the Rafa evacuation ahead of the planned offensive — slow-walking because Biden has to weigh his support of Israel’s self defense against Muslim votes at home. Israel has the capability to swiftly handle the situation but political dithering from the U.S. and other nations are what prolongs the fight.
Yesterday contributor L. Grey wrote how US and NATO officials were meeting in Brussels to discuss support for Ukraine. After the meeting, Blinken told the press that “Ukraine will become a member of NATO. Our purpose at the summit is to help build a bridge to that membership.”
There is no benefit to Ukraine joining NATO — but an attack on Ukraine, if made a member nation, would constitute an attack on all NATO nations and force WWIII upon us. Their depletion of funds and munitions is not reason alone to demand access to our taxpayer dollars and American lives as resupply.
I spoke with Carol Roth yesterday who said that absent another dot com boom to rescue our economy, war is the strategy, in an election year where one party is desperate to remain in power. Buckle up. So beat the drums of war.
