International affairs

The Biden Administration has announced that “it will rush delivery of air defense interceptor missiles to Ukraine by redirecting planned shipments to other allied nations.” Joe Biden said, “Everything we have is going to Ukraine until their needs are met.” By “other allied nations,” Biden means Israel.

It appears the U.S. is deserting our most dependable and effective ally, Israel, at the same time Hamas continues to send missiles into Israel, and Hezbollah ramps up missile attacks from the north. Israel depends on our air defense systems to avoid being destroyed by terrorist missile attacks. Is redirecting missile defense systems punishment for Israel not conducting the war with Hamas according to Biden’s direction, or is it to undermine Benjamin Netanyahu’s administration to force a change in Israeli leadership?

The media seems to forget that Biden influenced NATO to indicate to Putin that they would approve a request from Ukraine to allow what was alleged to be the most corrupt government in Europe to join NATO. That led to the Russian invasion.

Would it have been smarter for Biden to agree to not approve NATO entry if Russia withdrew from Crimea? That would have been a proportional response, not an escalation, and would have avoided the death and destruction resulting from Biden’s proxy war.

The Biden Administration is responsible for the worst international affairs management in American history. The Afghanistan withdrawal may not be their worst disaster.
