Biden is edging closer to another world war.
No sooner than Biden had surrendered Afghanistan to the Taliban that he got the US into the war in Ukraine. It is a black hole for US taxpayer money ($113 billion so far) with absolutely no end in sight. For the last two years the war has remained at a standstill. Russian troops have allies in the disputed land- which is very underreported by the media. The causalities on both sides are big:
The U.S. believes nearly 500,000 Ukrainian and Russian soldiers have been wounded or killed during the expansive conflict that has raged in Ukraine since February of last year, according to a New York Times report citing unnamed officials.Enthusiasm has waned as reality busts through the front door.The officials cautioned that casualty figures remained difficult to estimate because Moscow is believed to routinely undercount its war dead and injured, and Kyiv does not disclose official figures, the newspaper said.
Russia's military casualties are approaching 300,000, including as many as 120,000 deaths and 170,000 to 180,000 injuries, the newspaper reported. Ukrainian deaths were close to 70,000, with 100,000 to 120,000 wounded, it added.

Now Biden is opening a new war - he's putting American boots on the ground in the Middle East.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin placed additional U.S. troops on prepare-to-deploy orders to the Middle East Sunday after speaking with President Joe Biden.Hopefully, it won't be the Special Forces members he doxxed:
This move has provoked Iran into possibly taking action against the American troops, with Blinken calling it "likely":The White House admitted to accidentally doxxing American Special Forces in Israel by posting a photo of their faces on Instagram this week, which put their safety at risk. The incident occurred after President Joe Biden’s visit to Israel, as the White House posted a photo of Biden meeting with special operators onto its Instagram account, which has 7.6 million followers.
The White House failed to blur or otherwise obscure the faces of the Special Forces — which could reveal their identities to adversaries and put their missions, their lives, and their families’ lives at risk. There were other markings visible that could also identify them, such as tattoos.
“We are concerned,” Blinken said regarding concerns about Iran escalating the war. “In fact, we expect that there’s a likelihood of escalation, escalation by Iranian proxies directed against our forces, directed against our personnel. We are taking steps to make sure that we can effectively defend our people and respond decisively if we need to. This is not what we want, not what we’re looking for. We don’t want escalation. We don’t want to see a second or third front develop. We don’t want to see our forces or our personnel come under fire. But, if that happens, we’re ready for it.”Another US embassy is evacuated.
Non-emergency personnel have been ordered to evacuate the U.S. Embassy in Iraq. This is the seventh embassy evacuation of the Biden presidency, after Afghanistan, Ukraine, Belarus, Sudan, Haiti, and Niger.Thank God Biden has the borders secure:
Victoria Coates, Vice President of Foreign Policy at the Heritage Foundation, weighs in on the likelihood of Iran or its allies attacking Americans from inside our border. “They’re present here. They’ve come through the border, we’ve seen the numbers,” says Coates. “This is a huge problem...I really hope we’re actually taking care of it instead of just talking to local law enforcement.”Or maybe not

Ain’t life grand........
“1. By attacking our energy independence and giving Saudi Arabia once again e the powerful position of the world’s Swing Supplier the price of oil increased close to 100%. Russia all of a sudden could afford a the war like it could under Obama.”...”2. That was not enough. Then Biden stopped enforcing Iranian sanctions and Iran’s oil production increased from a few hundred thousand barrels per day to 3 million barrels a day at twice the price....”3. Then for all intense and purposes, Biden reinstated Iran’s nuclear program making it highly like Iran will have a nuclear weapon within the next few years....”4. Biden paid $6 billion ransom for hostages and within weeks there are now 200 hundred hostages 14 of which are American. Yes, Hamas is working with and or for Iran....”5. Biden allowed the UN’s missile ban to expire with Iran.”””””
Yes. But agsin it is merely moree of Biden incompetence. Where other’s could competetently see the kinds of consequences of Biden’s “green” “kill fossil fuels” energy policy, Biden’s incompetent team refused to admit them, putting nuclear rapproachment with Iran in the Middle East as above all else. Did they do it to start Middle East conflicts? No. Their inompetitence added to opportunities for them.
I just read the usual liberal comments in the local paper with the idiots claiming, “Biden is doing a fantastic job and the world respects him, unlike Trump.”
Yeah, wars breaking out all over Jewish genocide, foreign invasion of the Southern border, record inflation, etc....

Biden hires Obama's former Iran Negotiator Robert Malley to knowingly appease The Terrorist State aka Iran.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Malley
How bad must it be for Malley to lose his clearance?
Then there is that old and wise adage, “Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me.”

Very informative.
“There's breaking news that the Biden administration had three operatives for Iran working in senior national security positions helping set the Biden administration's policies on Iran,” he said. “These are individuals who were recruited by the ayatollah and the tyrannical government of Iran. They were working for Iran. They were in regular communications with the government of Iran asking what Iran wanted them to do and this is who the Biden administration put in critical decision-making roles on national security.”
Biden does nothing. The Deep State, etc ...
“Is it incompetence or is it carrying out Obama’s plan to “fundamentally transform America”?”
Incompetence, driven by incompetent ideologues with an intellectually dishonest and incompetent worldview that mistakenly, stupidly believes a change in the U.S.-Iran relationship will (1) change Iran domestically and change Iran’s role in the Middle East and (2) make Iran in the long run a “partner”, (3) ending U.S. geopolitical reliance on partnerships with the Saudis and the Gulf States. Every single one of those ideas - that did begin with Obama - totally do not understand the Mullahs in Tehran nor do they understand how deeply the ideological naturte of the Mllahs in Tehran is such that they can be nothing other than our adversary.
Did they understand all the bad consequences of those ideas? No. So the bad consequences have not been their intent, just the bad results of their stupidity.
History will tell.
You may want to carefully review the GWU’s Short Historymof Hamas by Lorenzo Vidino.

This has been going on for decades.
Reminder: how many Congressmen and Senators have opened condemned Talib? Not one Democrat has condemned Talib. Where is the Left's moto “Silence is Violence”. Here was Graham's support of the Squad's terrorist support in Israel no less just yesterday. I am amazed the jellyfish of a man can stand.

The University System, MSM, Democrat Party, Hollywood and DC have been infiltrated.
Then there is the Open Border.
“You may want to carefully review the GWU’s Short Historymof Hamas by Lorenzo Vidino.”
You are preaching to the choir on that.
The Left’s intellectual dishonesty mAkes them and them who follow them stupid and incompetent - their theoretical view is not the reality of the world, and so they keep getting themselves and their people into crisis consequences their stupidty causes.
The Left’s sectarian view of Israel and the Arabs goes all the back to the conflict period under the British Mandate of Palestaine before 1948. The Left in western socities backed Leftist Arab groups in Palestine and beleived THEY held the way the Arabs would go. They were wrong. Muslim identity and ideologies promoting Muslim idenity quickly dominated the Arabs and fhe “Arab Left” nveer won any significant piece of the action. But the western Leftists continue to see everything through that lens, in spite of the unreality of it. Their dishonesty makes the stupid, caught in intellectually dishonest bubbles.
Russia never had to be our enemy. We made them our enemy. The proxy war in Ukraine is biggest disaster since the Vietnam. Pushing the Russians into an alliance with China was incredibly stupid as was giving fuel for the rise of BRICS.
All this endangering this country and the citizens in, all so our political elite and their donors can continue to make $$$.
You're literally back the forces that tried to destroy Trump because Trump opposed the "liberal world order" and globalist agenda and sought to America and Americans first.
You're traitorous scum.
I’m not a neo con. I’m a 3 pillar Reagan conservative.
You are a Liberaltarian, conspiracy oriented weak mind who fall for Sputnik Russian propaganda.
No Russia and China have been allies for a long time nitwit.
Ukraine comparison to Vietnam. No US troops involved, we simply fund weapons for Ukraine. Try to keep up.
You literally are Russian useful idiot.
