When asked if the Israeli army should attack Iranian nuclear development, Biden said, “No.” Why should he feel he has the right to determine Israeli reactions to its enemies?

President Joe Biden is confused once again. He thinks he is the prime minister of Israel, not the president of the United States. When asked if the Israeli army should attack Iranian nuclear development, he said, “No.” Why should he feel he has the right to determine Israeli reactions to its enemies?
Suppose that Canada and Mexico, either alone or in tandem, had done to the US approximately what the Iranian proxy, Hamas, had perpetrated on Israel on October 7, 2023. Posit, further, that Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu had interfered with, ordered, and forbade the US response to the northern and southern neighbors of America. Now, Bibi is, of course, a chutspanick. He has a lot of nerve. He is outspoken to the nth degree. But even he would not have had anything like the temerity to do any such thing. He has, at least, some vestige of propriety. He fully realizes that he is the prime minister of Israel and not the president of the United States. It is too bad that Biden, as well, is so befuddled as not to recognize this primordial distinction.
Does Kamala Harris support Biden in this confusion? To ask this is to answer it. Of course. In her speech right after the announcement of the demise of Yahya Sinwar, she piped up calling for a pause, for a cease-fire, for peace, long before Israel has come anywhere near fully protecting its safety.
But this is only the tip of the Biden-Harris Monday morning quarterbacking. This administration was adamantly opposed to the IDF entering Gaza. Then, Biden bitterly opposed the Jewish forces entering Rafah (had they not, Yahya Sinwar would probably still be alive). Biden has been intent that the local conflict with Iranian proxies such as Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis does not escalate into a wider war with the Persian state.
He has been bewailing the increasingly dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, shedding crocodile tears galore at the loss of human life in that unhappy part of the globe. He never once asks who is to blame for the perhaps more than 40,000 people (if we can credit the source of these statistics) who have lost their lives there. Is it Israel’s fault? After all, it cannot be denied that it is their bombs and bullets which have been the proximate cause of these deaths. Or is it the responsibility of Hamas, which started the conflagration on that day of infamy October 7, 2023, and subsequently uses these hapless people as shields, by placing rocket and drone launchers in hospitals, schools, Mosques, residential areas, etc.? This distinction never to have crossed whatever it is that remains of Biden’s mind.
Then there is the incursion of the IDF into Lebanon. Was this an untoward invasion of a friendly neighboring country on the part of Israel? Of course not. No other nation would endure what the Jewish state has experienced for the last year: thousands of rockets raining down on the northern part of their country. And the reaction of the Biden-Harris administration to this? Urging a cease fire for the thousandth time. One wonders how they would have reacted to an analogous series of bombings of the northern US from Canada.
It is time, it is long past time, that the US butted out of Israeli affairs. Does not the United States have problems of its own it has not yet solved? Inflation? Unemployment? Homelessness? A porous southern border? If the US wants to help its supposed Middle Eastern ally, it would take a far different position than it has. Threats, cajoling, slowing down of contractually obligated transfers of weapons, have been the order of the day. No mas! How about a little more actual help from this fair weather friend?
Does the team B/H have the last word or does the back-office have the last word!
I agree with the author.
The problem as I see it is that Biden/Harris/Obama and their puppet masters are psychopaths who cannot be reasoned with.
They have one goal, and that is the destruction of as many people as possible. In order to accomplish that, they need an intact Hamas, intact Hezbollah, and intact Iran.
If Israel destroys these terrorist groups, the psychopaths controlling the USA won’t have the assets on the ground in the middle east who do the killing for them. They want people dead, but they do not want their fingerprints on the gun.
So they talk about wanting “peace,” when what they mean is they want the deaths of as many people as possible. Saving Israel and destroying Iran will do the exact opposite of that.
It’s really about psychopaths and their overall goal of killing as many “useless eaters” as possible, while getting others to do the dirty work for them.
That’s why these psychopaths have worked so hard to bring murderers into the US and allowed criminals such as rapists and murderers to wander the streets of US cities. That’s why these same psychopaths have invited hundreds or even thousands of unvetted Muslims into the US starting with the so-called “Afghan refugees.” That’s why they have encouraged college curricula all over the country containing genocidal Islamic teachings against Christians and Jews. These college graduates are to be added to the “shock troops” eager to kill Jews and Christians or simply “White” Americans.
This is also why they rushed to inject every man, woman, and child with an untested poison in the name of “public health”, and why they are rushing to inject farm animals and the US food supply with the same poisons. This is why they have for years encouraged the killing of unborn babies in the name of “female reproductive health.”
it all makes sense if you think like a murderous psychopath. It has been crafted consciously and carefully and has been years in the planning.
It appears that these people have all the power to do whatever they wish. People willing to kill to get their way APPEAR to have power, they appear able to make others submit. But all they have is the power to destroy and kill.
Thus they have used their power to make Americans afraid of them. They have cunningly used information wars and psychological operations to manage the reality of Americans, to make Americans feel they are trapped with nowhere to go but to obey.
But there are much fewer of them than of us. And their power is an illusion. They are starting to realize they cannot control the minds of all the people on earth, and that more and more people are rejecting every single aspect of what they are offering. They are now getting scared. Bernie Sanders said if Trump is elected, Climate Change is dead. Hariri said that if Trump is elected, the globalist plans are over.
Biden is confused, but he’s a confused psychopath. He is used to getting his way. He’s confused because he is no longer getting his way and he does not know what to do about it.
The reign of the globalists is going to come to an end one way or another, sooner rather than later.
It’s on us (Aleinu) to live our best lives in gratitude.
