A Headlong Rush to Surrender

Biden signals he cares more about returning to a flawed deal than taking a stand against Iranian terror

The former defense secretary Robert Gates famously wrote that Joe Biden "has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades." If the early days of his presidency are any indication, Biden is determined to prove him right.

Out of the gate, the administration is demonstrating to the mullahs in Tehran that it so badly wants back into the flawed Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action that it is willing to ignore Iran's terror attacks on American citizens and soldiers.

Administration officials have been virtually silent about Monday's attack by an Iranian proxy on American forces in Iraq except to say that such behavior "will not be tolerated." In a sop to Tehran, the State Department declined to name the group that took credit for the attack, Asaib Ahl al-Haq, ostensibly because it would throw a wrench into their efforts to re-enter the Iran deal.

The Biden administration is doing more than demonstrating the hollowness of its tough talk. It is rewarding Iranian aggression with an olive branch: Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Thursday told European foreign ministers that the United States was now ready to talk with Iran. According to the New York Times, the Iranians are not through playing hard to get and have offered no indication they will accept the offer. Why not let Biden twist for a few more days to see what further inducements the administration might offer and to savor the humiliation?

They will find a way to return to the Iran deal, to remove the sanctions on Iran even as it persists in terrorizing the region, and to torment Israel as payback for the real and perceived slights of the Obama years.

We can only assume the pallets of cash come next and indeed the Biden administration is considering a plan that would see the International Monetary Fund deliver to Iran some $5 billion in coronavirus relief. How appropriate it would be if the Democrats delivered checks to Iranians before Americans.

The Iran deal will be restored before vaccines are delivered or children are back in school not because it is hard, but because giving away the store for free is the easiest "challenge" confronting this administration.

With a feeble mental case at the figurative head of the country, backed by vicious full blown commies who HATE America, my main fear is that our enemies will feast on the carcass of America. How are we to stop them before 2022 could bring us some new brave senators and representatives? And how are we to keep taxes from going through the roof to pay for every Dimmocommie wet dream on their list?

The leadership uses the Islamic religion to control the people and the narrative of their choosing...The Leadership wants to control the entire middle east and then some.

Why is this so surprising or upsetting?

We all knew a year ago (probably before) what the communists would do if they won the election and gained control of the country...

Need to spend more time on a plan to regain the country and less time reacting to their well-planned to distract us from action by constantly rattling our cages with the things we predicted they would do...

Where in the history of mankind have slaves living under tyranny ever won freedom by simply bitching and moaning...

The communist purge is growing exponentially...
A plan to stop them is needed...

The culling (Step 9) will soon be upon us...
In addition, we can still anticipate:
-----------------------FROM NOV POST---------------------
Based on communist history, a reasonable extrapolation (Now that the communist coup has been successful) would be a strategy that has been used throughout their history... (Only the names are changed):

Step #1: Get JB elected by any means necessary;

Step #2: Shortly after inauguration remove him for dementia;

Step #3: Swear Harris into office with Pelousy as VP;

Step #4: Shut down all wall construction, open the borders, and grant amnesty & fast-track citizenship to the 40-million illegal migrants already here;

Step #5: Appoint obunghole & 3 or 4 others to the expanded SCOTUS who would quickly rule the entire Constitution unconstitutional;

Step #6: Ban all sales of guns & ammo;

Step #7: Buy back or confiscate all guns and ammo;

Step #8: Indict, try, convict, and lock Trump family up in Guantanamo, Thailand, Libya, or mental institutions;

Step #9: Start the most complete communist purge (based on voter records & internet posted view) in history(AOC already announced plans for the burning/ovens...);

Step #10: Remove time limit on holding office of President;

Step #11: Ban all travel across state lines without proper papers;

Step #12: Celebrate about one thousand years of peace & prosperity (For the apparatchiks...)

----------------------------------------------------------

Steps 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, & 11 (based on pandemic) are well on their way to implementation either as proposals or actual action...

Yes. Starting with Obama. Joebama is Jarrett’s third term as Iranian spy in charge of US foreign policy. Iran will now get nukes, blackmail Israel with them, and when that fails...el-boom-o.

Those pallets of cash are a perfect opportunity to siphon off big chunks for corrupt off-shore bank accounts. Remember when Clinton pocketed Haitian relief money? The same will happen here.

I believe it will be Ezekiel 38. Prophesied over 2,500 years ago. For the latter days (King James Version).

The left was upset that they were not in charge when 9/11 happened. They could have milked it to expand their power even more than Bush did with the Patriot Act.

So, if Iran gives a nuke to one of its proxies, and it is detonated in the West, it is the perfect opportunity to enact The Great Reset even faster.

US & EU combine to be one under a UN/EU style leadership that renders local politicians powerless.
