But at least Biden did send over $2 billion to Afghanistan since the Taliban took over.
The Biden administration, Qatar and assorted countries are trying to hammer out a hostage deal that would free thousands of Hamas terrorists and effectively end Israel’s war against the terror group. Since Israel isn’t thrilled about the idea, the Biden administration is looking to apply pressure by using weapons shipments. And that’s why foreign aid to Israel exists.
Our defense industry is financed with foreign aid in the form of weapons shipments so that D.C. can then control the countries that receive those shipments. And decide when they can fight and when they can’t.
The Biden administration is discussing using weaponry sales to Israel as leverage to convince the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to heed long-standing U.S. calls to scale back its military assault in the Gaza Strip, according to three current U.S. officials and one former U.S. official.
At the direction of the White House, the Pentagon has been reviewing what weaponry Israel has requested that could be used as leverage, said the sources. They said no decisions have been made.
Mind you, we’re not even talking about the larger weapons package that Biden announced after the attacks.
The Biden administration tied that package to a much bigger package for Ukraine and a border “deal” that’s in oblivion. This is more in the way of regular resupply.
But the way our defense foreign aid setup works is on the razor blade or printer cartridge model. You get the system for what seems like a good deal, but whenever you need ammo, you have to turn to D.C. Whether you buy it or not, D.C. gets to decide. That’s what Taiwan is dealing with right now. And so the deal turns out not to be a good deal after all.
Right now Biden wants Israel to wind down the war on Hamas. Slowing down resupply means Israel will have to slow down, stop or shift its own operations to depending even more on ground personnel which will cost the lives of more soldiers. And it’s dealing with the possibility that if war breaks out with Hezbollah or other Iran proxies, it will be dangerously undersupplied.

Biden, as well as Xi and all his cronies, does not sleep very well; and God gave Biden, and the rest of the world, a reprieve in not removing him from the Creator’s world. But this move would become the Tekal of Biden’s Mene! And of course Kamala has high heels all ready for marching to the goose-stepping of the Crime Syndicates ruling as Elite Globalist, Marxist, and through Islam with Cartels of zombie hordes! Yes, the Vice-President of the District of Crime is hoping no doubt to inherit one of the greatest criminal enterprises of this century, stolen power and perverted rule: got to keep the criminal Syndicates rolling for their babby-daddy, Lucifer!

Terry,
If the situation was not so serious, I would still be smiling for what you said is funny but also true.

If Israel cannot trust this nefarious bunch of evil pestilence that desecrates the White House, then what honorable nation on earth can? Israel is the only nation on this earth that the United States can rely in a time of need and Comrades Biden/Blinken are stabbing this honorable nation in the back.
November 2024 cannot arrive soon enough.

I’m just hoping that we actually make it to November 2024, Ray.

Just think of the billions of dollars worth of arms Biden left in Afghanistan after America,s quick retreat. On top of the 13 service men killed and the thousands of people who work with America left to be killed by jihadist in the nearly 2 decade long war. Could Israel or the Ukraine have used those weapons instead of Islamic Jihadist?? American taxpayer will never know. On top of that we give the Talban nearly 2 billion dollars after we left ,those service men who died ,those people who in Afghanistan who risk there lives who face death are damned by a senile old idiot aka Joseph Biden.

WPM,
Yes, pretend President Biden certainly has blood on his hands due to the botched Afghanistan withdrawal. And leaving behind American weaponry, aircraft, etc., was unconscionable.
Biden’s weakness emboldened our enemies leading to more bloodshed in Ukraine and Israel.
Thousands and thousands of dead bodies.
Never would’ve happened under Pres. Trump.

Evil always takes advantage of the weak. Sadly right now in America and around much of the world RIGHT has many different definitions and groups who support those ideas. If we can’t find peace and harmony between Race and Religion the world is doomed to war until only one exists.
