Biden and Blinken are Idiots.
Almost the entire US Dept of State are clueless, academics.
1/2 of DC bureaucraps are like that.
Like cage raised hen, who know how to lay eggs but don’t have a clue how the real world actually works.
I don’t think they are “ clueless”
They are the totally left wing, progressive and globalist agenda indoctrinated dregs of dysfunctional academia and democrat partisanship. Just as committed as Hamas and Tehran to the destruction of Israel and humiliation of American power in the middle east.
Just look at the career of the person in charge of USAID: Samantha Power. No wonder her agency is in revolt against US official policy.
Then look at Blinken AND his assistant SecDef: Victoria “F the EU” Nuland?
Seriously? Surprised she hasn’t sent cookies to Hamas.
