Here's How Far Down the Road to WWIII Biden-Harris Has Taken Us

Stephen Green

 

If there is a Third World War, historians will note that — like the First — it began with weak and unimaginative leadership and in the unlikeliest of places. No one could have known that an assassin's bullets in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914, would begin a monthslong march to a global war from which Europe has not (and never will) culturally recover. If we're sliding into another global war, historians will write that the years-long march began in Kabul, Afghanistan on Aug. 15, 2021.

 

How did we get here?    It all started with cold, hard cash.

 

Almost as soon as Presidentish Joe Biden assumed office, he began making sure that bad actors around the world would have all the money they might need for acting badly. 

 

Less than one month into his solitary, sad little term, Biden lifted former president Donald Trump’s restoration of U.N. sanctions on Iran. The White House and the State Steno Pool sold the move as something that "could help Washington move toward rejoining the 2015 nuclear agreement aimed at reining in the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program." Trump had withdrawn from Barack Obama's "Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA, in 2018, accusing Iran of serious violations."

Trump had Iran broke and boxed in. Biden unleashed the Kraken. 

 

But Biden wasn't done there. At seemingly every opportunity, he freed up more funds for Tehran. 

 

To give just one specific example, last year Biden-Harris unfroze $6 billion-with-a-b in Iranian funds to secure the release of five (!!!) Americans who were effectively held hostage by Iran's "justice" system. 

 

"To facilitate their release," SecState Antony Blinken said at the time, "the United States has committed to release five Iranian nationals currently held in the United States and to permit the transfer of approximately $6 billion in restricted Iranian funds held in [South Korea] to restricted accounts in Qatar, where the funds will be available only for humanitarian trade."

In between Biden-Harris dropping one match after another around the Middle East powder keg and that region exploding, full-scale war came to Europe for the first time since the end of the Second World War.

 

Russia's partial invasion of Ukraine on Obama's watch in 2014 — Obama sent blankets, not antitank missiles — ended with one spectacular success and one frustrating thorn in Vladimir Putin's side. His illegal seizure of Crimea was a textbook example of hybrid warfare. "Little green men" — Russian special forces, mostly, acting without Russian military insignia — took control of everything important in Crimea in very short order, presenting the world with a fait accompli that appears unlikely to be undone. 

 

The same was supposed to happen in Ukraine's east, where ethnic-Russian partisans (acting as Moscow's proxies) would do the same in the Donbas. Unexpectedly spirited — and often ad hoc — resistance from Ukraine led to an eight-year stalemate, frequently punctuated by gunfire and artillery.

 

Putin tried to bluster and threaten his way into getting the rest of eastern Ukraine, including massive military maneuvers at or near the border. But he did not invade on Trump's watch.

 

"I think what you're going to see is that Russia will be held accountable if it invades," Biden said in January 2022, about a month before the war. "And it depends on what it does. It's one thing if it's a minor incursion and then we end up having a fight about what to do and not do."

 

Biden signaled indecision instead of resolve. The White House tried to undo the damage the next day, with PressSec Jen Psaki warning, "If any Russian military forces move across the Ukrainian border, that's a renewed invasion, and it will be met with a swift, severe, and united response from the United States and our allies." But the damage was done. The signal had been sent. A mere worker-bee with a penchant for quarter-truths like Psaki carried no weight in the Kremlin.

Nor should it have, not after Biden had enriched Moscow with actions like de-sanctioning the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.

 

A last-ditch effort to secure the peace by sending Harris and Blinken to the Munich Security Conference in February 2022 would have been comically inept had the stakes not been so high. At the time, CNN called the Munich conference "the most critical foreign trip of her vice presidency," but no one in the State Steno Pool seems to care much that she flubbed it now that she's the Democrat nominee. 

 

"Let me be clear," Harris said at Munich, "I can say with absolute certainty: If Russia further invades Ukraine, the United States, together with our Allies and partners, will impose significant and unprecedented economic costs."

Joe Biden's Last-Ditch Israel-Hamas
Peace Deal Effort Fails Spectacularly

by Frances Martel

 

Multiple reports on Sunday and Monday indicated, citing unnamed sources, that attempts by the administration of President Joe Biden to end Israel’s self-defense operations against the jihadist terrorist organization Hamas in Gaza have not yielded any significant progress. Both Israel and Hamas reportedly rejected the latest attempts at a ceasefire deal from the White House, the Times of Israel reported on Sunday, suggesting that the Israeli government politely raised “reservations” with the proposed agreement, while Hamas terror leaders “flatly rejected” the deal. The proposed deal appears to be the result of a visit to Egypt, a core mediator, by Secretary of State Antony Blinken
