Jake Sullivan's foreign policy blunders resurface after hyping up Middle East peace days before Hamas attacks

A top adviser to President Biden is facing criticism over a comment he made shortly before the Hamas attacks on Israel.

Biden's National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said that the Middle East was the calmest it has been in decades, bringing to the forefront other controversial foreign policy decisions the Biden adviser has been involved with over the last decade.

"What we said is want to depressurize, de-escalate, and ultimately integrate the Middle East region," Sullivan said at "The Atlantic Festival" on September 29.

"The war in Yemen is in its 19th month of truce, for now the Iranian attacks against U.S. forces have stopped, our presence in Iraq is stable, I emphasize for now because all of that can change and the Middle East region is quieter today than it has been in two decades," he said.

Eight days later, Hamas launched an attack on Israel that killed at least 1,200 Israelis causing many conservatives to blast Sullivan’s comments on social media.

Sullivan should resign in disgrace. But, that's true for everyone in Biden's administration, beginning with Biden himself.

If the State Department and intelligence agencies were not so focused on "diversity", Trans-GIBLETS, and investigating conservatives, they might could find the time to do their jobs.

However, I do not think this is solely a matter of incompetence. I believe war in the middle-east is a goal of those in the background. For war brings in money and power for some while bringing misery, destitution, and even death for those who are victims of those wars.

The revolving door between the State Department and defense industries is constantly moving. Does anyone think that those employees do not share information, plans, and goals as they move back and forth between the two?

For example, three years ago Northrop Grumman Corp.(NOC) was a $300 per share stock. Today it is trading at $470. Three years ago, Lockheed Martin Corp. was a $350 per share stock. Today, it is trading at $435.

For some, there is benefits of both money and power in war.

Yep, it's always a "surprise".

Hamas and Hezbollah saying that they have been planning this attack for two years. Lets see, who came into office just over two years ago? Oh, yeah.

The only possible way to solve this conundrum is the Trump/Kuschner solution.
Get all the Arab countries to be friendly with Israel and stop supporting the terrorists.
Without international support, the terrorists would likely wither on the wine.
But NO, Biden had to stop THAT initiative!

This Biden administration has been a disaster.

Between a career politician and lawyer that never in his life had a real job, no military, law enforcement, management, business, or foreign affairs experience outside of Washington politics; and his naive army of loyal party stooges, bumbling idiots with their Ivey league degrees and also no real life experience... They have managed to make a real mess of things.

“Elections have consequences.” That is about the only thing Obama ever said which was accurate. America, in fact the world, is learning what it means when you install an old senile and corrupt fool and his minions into the office of the president.

But in the meantime, the MSM will still defend him. He is after all a Democrat and he made all the right people happy literally within his first month in office. While Biden is a failure in most respects, he does know that you need to please those who own big tech, the MSM, and the big corporations such as pharma, the unions, those US firms manufacturing in the PRC, Meta don’t need to worry about being broken up as a monopoly..., and the green subsidies (corporate welfare for the rich) are flowing (so called infrastructure and environmentalism)... Our nation surely didn’t prosper under Biden, but a small elite class did.

In the meantime, under this turds tenure, you have the Afghanistan disaster, an unnecessary war in Ukraine, the Middle East unraveling... Impressive, only in a bad way! Of course it’s everyone else’s fault except us. I just hope this guy doesn’t bring the world into WWIII or cause a nuclear exchange in his last year.

Jake Sullivan is an imbecile. A 5 year old child has better understanding and instincts about the world than Sullivan does.

“Does ANYTHING not blow up right in these people’s faces?”

No one could screw-up so many things at once and as bad as the Biden administration has done just by accident.

It has to be deliberate.

That’s the only explanation.

Sullivan, for those who love Hillary. Even if she died Jake would still be around.
