B-Man Posted May 9 Posted May 9 THE CORBYNIZATION OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY CONTINUES APACE: Day Before Biden Admin Announced It Would Withhold Weapons From Israel, It Issued Sanctions Waiver To Allow Arms Sales to Qatar and Lebanon. Less than a day before the Biden administration announced its intent to cut off U.S. arms sales to Israel, it issued a sanctions waiver to bypass congressional prohibitions on arms sales to a host of Arab nations that boycott the Jewish state, including Hamas ally Qatar and Iran-controlled Lebanon, the Washington Free Beacon has learned. On Tuesday—just a day before President Joe Biden threatened to withhold key weapons deliveries from Israel if the country moves forward with an incursion in the Gaza Strip’s Rafah neighborhood—the State Department informed Congress that it intends to bypass laws that bar the United States from selling weapons to nations that boycott Israel. The Biden administration, which has waived these sanctions in the past, said in the notification that it intends to extend the waiver through April 30, 2025, allowing weapons to be sent to a host of nations that work closely with the Hamas terror group and other Iran-backed terror proxies. https://freebeacon.com/national-security/day-before-biden-admin-announced-it-would-withhold-weapons-from-israel-it-issued-sanctions-waiver-to-allow-arms-sales-to-qatar-and-lebanon/ It’s just amazing how much Good Ol’ Moderate Joe’s foreign policy decisions sound exactly like the sort of thing Obama would have done! .

He should have called MTG and MJ before him to answer why they were delaying weapons/aid to Israel for a much more substantial period of time. Maybe ask them about Hiroshima, too. LOL Any military aid that the United States provides to recipients must only be used according to agreed-upon terms and conditions, and it is incumbent on the U.S. government to monitor the end use of the equipment it provides. For instance, the Ronald Reagan administration banned transfers of cluster munitions to Israel for several years in the 1980s after it determined that Israel had used them on civilian targets during its invasion of Lebanon Israel has agreed to use U.S. weapons only in self-defense. Outside of this, Biden administration officials have said they have not placed further limitations or constraints on how Israel uses U.S. weapons, although they say that Israel should observe international law. In February 2024, four months into the Israel-Hamas war, Biden issued a national security memo requiring recipients of U.S. military aid to give written assurances that they would observe international law in their use of the aid, and that they would facilitate the delivery of U.S. humanitarian assistance in the area of armed conflict where the U.S. military aid is being used. Since October 7, the Biden administration has reportedly made more than one hundred military aid transfers to Israel, although only two—totalling about $250 million—have met the aforementioned congressional review threshold and been made public.
B-Man Posted May 10 Posted May 10 Biden’s betrayal: “But for Michigan?” I have long said that although it’s very clear that Joe Biden is very cognitively challenged compared to just a few years ago, he still has plenty of agency and his brain is not so far gone that he’s unaware. Plus, he was Obama’s VP from 2009 to 2017, in full possession of whatever were his native faculties, and he did Obama’s bidding on this and on just about every other topic. So this is not some recent thing nor is it the result of his age-related cognitive problems. It’s a result of who he is: a corrupt and ambitious viper – or weasel, if you prefer – who would sell out anyone for a dime or for career advancement. https://www.thenewneo.com/2024/05/09/bidens-betrayal-but-for-michigan/
B-Man Posted May 11 Posted May 11 More "RESULTS" And There's Goes Niger LARA SEGILMAN FROM POLITICO 8:00 AM | May 11, 2024 The Pentagon this week formally ordered all 1,000 U.S. combat troops to withdraw from Niger, a blow to the Biden administration’s effort to counterterrorism and Russian influence in West Africa. The U.S. announced in April that it would begin discussing plans for “an orderly and responsible withdrawal” after Niger’s military junta declared it would revoke its military cooperation deal with Washington. But U.S. officials have continued to negotiate with the junta over the terms of the withdrawal and whether there was any possibility some American troops could stay. Hopes for an agreement dimmed this week when the Defense Department directed the roughly 1,000 U.S. troops in Niger to leave the country over the next several months, according to a U.S. official, who was granted anonymity to speak ahead of an announcement. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/05/10/pentagon-orders-all-us-combat-troops-to-withdraw-from-niger-00157329
B-Man Posted May 13 Posted May 13 Incompetent. Blinken Trashed Israel on the Eve of Memorial Day KAREN TOWNSEND It's a tough call to determine who is worse about stabbing Israel in the back. Is it President Biden or is it Secretary of State Antony Blinken? I think it's a toss-up. Both are the kind of two-faced friends that are detrimental to Israel's war to survive - they say one thing in public and another in private. Recently, Biden has become more bold in his bare-knuckle attack on America's only loyal ally in the region. As warped as Biden's rhetoric has become, Blinken is not any better. https://hotair.com/karen-townsend/2024/05/13/blinken-trashed-israel-on-the-eve-of-memorial-day-n3788275 .

B-Man Posted May 21 Posted May 21 Every once in a great while, Biden's handlers give him the right thing to say. Good. Biden Slams ICC over ‘Outrageous’ Netanyahu Arrest Warrant by David Zimmerman President Joe Biden forcefully denounced the International Criminal Court’s “outrageous” arrest warrant application against Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and defense minister Yoav Gallant on Monday. “Let me be clear: whatever this prosecutor might imply, there is no equivalence — none — between Israel and Hamas,” Biden said in a brief statement. “We will always stand with Israel against threats to its security.” Earlier Monday, ICC chief prosecutor Karim Khan announced his intention to apply for an arrest warrant for the two Israeli leaders, as well as a separate warrant for three Hamas officials https://www.nationalreview.com/news/biden-slams-icc-over-outrageous-netanyahu-arrest-warrant/ 1

B-Man Posted May 24 Posted May 24 All the Aid From Biden’s Gaza Pier was Seized by Hamas: That was $300 million in taxpayer money well spent by Daniel Greenfield If you’re keeping track, Biden announced that America was going to spend two months building a floating pier to deliver aid to Gaza at a cost of $300 million that would be operated by the U.S. military. Then the pier came under attack by terrorists, was withdrawn to the Israeli port of Ashdod for repairs while the Biden administration conducted backchannel talks with Hamas urging it not to attack the pier, then redeployed for aid deliveries and it’s been a smashing success. For Hamas. The good news was that the Pentagon press secretary announced that 569 metric tons of humanitarian assistance has been delivered across the temporary pier in Gaza. The bad news was that according to the same press secretary, none of the aid has gotten through to any recognized aid distribution points. Did the aid get to the people of Gaza? “I do not believe so,” he answered. So they’re now looking for “alternate routes”. https://www.frontpagemag.com/all-the-aid-from-bidens-gaza-pier-was-seized-by-hamas/ . 1 1
