Not exactly a surprise.
The Biden foreign policy team is crawling with Obama’s pro-Iranian echo chamber foreign policy trolls and the Iran Lobby was among his biggest bundlers.
Iran’s expansion into Yemen via the Houthis, a Jihadist group whose motto is “Death to America, Death to Israel, A Curse the Jews, Victory to Islam”, has been backed by the media and the foreign policy establishment which falsely kept blaming the Saudi campaign against the Houthis for the famine when in fact it was the Houthis who had caused the famine by stealing humanitarian aid. This didn’t stop Islamists and the media from keeping the famine lie going anyway.
Or the Biden campaign from adopting it as a talking point.
The Houthis had meanwhile fired on the USS Mason (“Death to America” is right in their motto) and were ethnically cleansing Yemen’s Jewish population.
Despite all that, the Biden administration is now very predictably dropping support for the Saudi campaign against the Houthis, calling for a diplomatic solution, and dispatching a special emissary.
In other words, they’re surrendering to Iran and the Houthis.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, had pushed a terrorist designation for the Houthis on the way out the door, leading to outrage from the Democrats, their media, and even some Republicans. The Biden team is going the other way by rolling over for the, “Death to America” Jihadis leading to another of Obama’s “Victories for Islam”.
The Yemen mess spilled over due to Obama’s Arab Spring. Just wait for the Biden Islamist Winter.

“Biden surrenders….”
Really, the only two words you need to know in summary form respecting Biden’s foreign policy as long as he “in charge”—these last two words themselves serving as another lexicographical cruel joke, courtesy of Biden, all the fools who actually voted for him, and all those who didn’t but were still counted as voters for this nothing of a politician for almost half a century.
America has come to this, i.e., Joe Biden as President? This awful? Yep.
America is drifting. The West in toto is drifting. Your standard authoritarians like those running China and Russia like this “drift.” The decrepit, disgusting Islamic world likes this too. Ditto for the forever stupid Western Left. Oh yeah, this is what Biden “brings to the table.” What “allies” he has.
Enough. Too sad to state anything more. Time for a beer—or maybe three.
James Lincoln says
Wellington,
My recommendation:
Pull out your reserve of Yuengling Porter and pop in “The Asphalt Jungle” (1950).
And top it off with a box of goldfish crackers…
Wellington says
“The Asphalt Jungle.” Great film, great recommendation, James, topped off by an early appearance of Marilyn Monroe while being topped off by both goldfish crackers and (much more important) a Yuengling Porter or two (or three).
Infidel says
Wellington, this story would explain the Biden decision to cancel billions in weapons sales to the Saudis. Like his decision on fracking and the Keystone Pipeline and many of his EOs, the only thing it will impact is the jobs of people who make those things. Only Europe and the US have embargoed the Saudis, but there’s nothing to stop them from buying it from alternate sources such as Israel, Russia, India or China
Wellington says
Agreed, Infidel. Guess we could say that Biden is a total surrender monkey.
Alfredo says
“Surrender monkey” is right.
Bribem Is a bought and payed for monkey, who will dance on command at the drop of coins into his “tips mug”
His foreign policy will be the undoing of his predecesor’s work with alacrity to the gleeful celebration of the “lame stream media” who are bought and payed for as well.
Pretty soon the millions will start flowing to the murderous regime in Teheran.
Who in turn will use them not only to accelerate its nuclear ambitions, but to funnel some to the Houthis, who will use them to purchase arms on the black market too often with the serial number on them
including “Made in USA”
GreekEmpress says
I’m worried that the pay for play during a Biden administration could make the shenanigans of the Clinton Foundation look like penny ante poker.

Biden Surrenders to Iran’s ‘Death to America’ Jihadis in Yemen Who Attacked USS Mason
………………..
Disgusting–but no surprise. Even firing on our ships is apparently not enough…
JimJFox says
Will it take another 911 to wake the woke?? Or a thermonuclear strike on a US carrier task force perhaps?
Headline- “Another atrocity by misunderstanders of Islam”, says Biden.
gravenimage says
Not sure Biden would even mention Islam…
JimJFox says
I should have written “an Iranian attack…” But as you say, Slow Joe wouldn’t notice, anyway.
JimJFox says
There is a Bright Ray of hope, people. According to a very recent Middle East survey, Islam is dying faster than anyone had suspected. Over 40% of younger people want out and atheism is also rising. I think I saw this item on TROP…
Fred van de Bunt says
“The attacks on Mason and Ponce follow an airstrike that killed more than 140 people and injured more than 500 during a funeral in Yemen. The Saudi-led bombing has prompted a review of U.S. support of the conflict fought between the collation and the Houthis since last year,”

I do not believe the West has to support the Sunni against the Shia in their eternal war. The West has to make themselves save against jihad, that comes from both sides, is my opinion.
Trump was on that way, I think. The CIA (Pompeo) was of a different opinion, I noticed.
Alfredo says
The misguided West instead of defunding its own police forces, It must defund both the Sunnis and Shias in their rightly called “eternal war” because when both sides bleed and weaken themselves, the beneficiary Is the West.
Fred van de Bunt says
With all that oil and gas money, they will not weaken soon.
That religion of peace, Islam, is also not the problem, experts say.
That said, experts noticed there is quite a lot of guys that misinterpret that peaceful religion.
I am no expert of course, bit I figure there is a shitload of guys that misinterpret Islam, or massacring each other might just be their favourite hobby, peaceful as they are?
Giacomo Latta says
While this is not a perfect analogy, the situation resembles grocery store wars. If one side wins absolutely, then we all lose absolutely.

No need for us to support either of these thugs.
John Forbes says
Anybody at all suprized? OBAMA is not a Christian anyway & supports ISLAM!
I also believe that he along with many in the Democratic party HATE the US the way it is & HATE Capitalism & Free Speech!
OLD GUY says
When you look at that leaders around the free world Biden fits right in. Germany, Britain, France, and I will throw in Canada have all these open border idiots who are allowing these migrant invaders into our countries. The Islamic world wants nothing less than to dominate the world and enslave or kill all who do not follow their ideology. It’s plain to see, but our politicians seem to ignore the facts and put our citizens at risk. (Follow the money)
