Ping! Out to the Victor Davis Hanson list

It is hard to outdo Russian wartime savagery, but Hezbollah has accomplished that easily. And unlike post-Soviet Russia, it has blatantly murdered lots of American diplomats and soldiers. Hamas still holds American hostages.

So why does the Biden-Harris administration, and many elites in Washington, treat the two wars so differently? Or more specifically, why do they deify Zelensky and Ukraine but demonize Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel?

Really great essay from Prof Hanson. Well worth your time to read, digest and share.

And 0mama, Biden and Harris also seem to support Iran (and through them Hezbollah, and Hamas).

Exactly so.

I would have liked to have VDH talk about the obvious benefits to China from the Ukraine-Russia war, but he cannot cover everything.

Zeepers are neocon leftists larping as patriots. If America buys the Deep State’s and the MIC’s propaganda it is World War 3.

This article is a canned mishmash of Biden/Harris talking points in connection the Zelinski visit. There is no independent journalism in America; everyone must kiss the ring. This article is proof of that. Judical Watch is another case in point who negotiations the narrative when dealing with the Democrats - they are not doing all they can do (my 5 hours with them and their lawyer opened my eyes to Uniparty Borg and the DC twostep).

“It is worth noting that Putin and Russia support Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas.”

Is their “support” merely the enemy of my enemy is my friend?

Much of world diplomacy is based on the above.

A famous diplomat once said: Nations do not have friends. They have interests.

Today, the interests of many politicians in the West are not aligned with the interests of their nations. Instead, they are aligned with the interests of global ideologies, to the detriment of their nations.

The Biden/Harris administration, as a third term extention of the Obama administration, is a classic example. They seem to put the interests many nations who work hard to destroy the United States, such as Iran and China, far ahead of the interests of the United States.

China has an active policy of taking control of the "ruling class" of other countries. They seem to be succeeding in the USA.

“I always remember what the Bible has to say about Israel.”

Is “Israel” the land, whether controlled by Jews or Gentiles, or is it only applicable if the land is controlled by Jews? If so, does it depend on whether it is controlled by secular Jews or religious Jews?

VDH is a smart guy but I rarely get anything I didn’t already know from him. But I still read his articles.

The purpose of the entire thing is to bankrupt Russia into complete collapse.

This will permit China much oil.
