The Biden Doctrine

Just when it couldn't get worse:

U.S. Warns Iran of ‘Serious Risk’ if It Conducts Major Attack on Israel​

Yes, Joe Biden is at it again. In February 2022, Biden told Putin the US would not react if there was a minor Russian incursion into Ukraine. Ooops. Now Uncle Joey has warned Iran of the risk it runs if it conducts a "major attack" on Israel. What is a major attack? How many Israelis have to die, for it to be a major attack? This is yet another blunder that will result in war.

Should have simply said, "Don't". It has proven so effective in the past.

 

[Gallipoli]

On August 15, 2021, Kabul fell. This was the beginning of the end for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. It was the most ignominious defeat of the United States in the history of the Republic.

 

[Gallipoli]

It gets worse.

"In addition to closing Bagram first, there are three additional questions about Biden’s competence. The first is the volume of US military equipment that has been left behind for the Taliban, including aircraft, hundreds of military Humvees and tens of thousands of rifles, rockets and night vision goggles. The second is whether Biden ignored intelligence estimates suggesting the Taliban could recapture power on a far more rapid timeline than the six to 18 months the White House was saying. The third is Biden’s failure to consult fully with Nato allies about the speed and logistics of the pull out. On all three, the decision ultimately boils down to the president."

And, this guy is a Biden supporter. With friends like the Financial Times, who needs enemies, ...like the Taliban.

This is a short list of every thing done wrong by Biden in Afghanistan. Don't forget, Biden should have never abandoned Bagram airbase. It allowed us to have a closer check on the Taliban, Afghanistan, China, Russia and Iran. Now China is effectively running Bagram. Biden placed the evacuation in the hands of the State Department and depended on the Taliban for security.

 

[Gallipoli]

Iran has sent short-range ballistic missiles to Russia, a move that will give Moscow another potent military tool to use in the war against Ukraine and follows stern Western warnings not to provide those arms to Moscow, according to U.S. and European officials.

 

[Gallipoli]

What a joke. The Biden-Harris administration once again threatens Iran, this time because Iran has been supplying missiles to Russia.

 

[KE Spider]

Don't! Don't! Don't!

Summary of Biden/Harris approach to foreign policy.

BTW - Biden/Harris foreign policy gave Iran the revenue to finance this.

 

[Gallipoli]

The House Foreign Affairs Committee has issued a report that is a 350-page indictment of President Biden’s choices at every point, a portrait of a Commander in Chief “determined to withdraw.” A litany of military advisers counseled that the Afghan government would collapse if the U.S. removed the small complement of 2,500 troops in country.

[Gallipoli]

The withdrawal from Afghanistan was the defining moment of the Biden Administration. Here are a few points:

•There are still 7 US hostages in Afghanistan.
•A "significant amount of classified information was left to the Taliban” in the eventual rush to leave.
•The size of the U.S. Embassy Kabul instead grew during the retrograde,” owing to “a dogmatic insistence” on keeping a diplomatic footprint.
•The President’s refusal to maintain 2,500 troops meant the U.S. abandoned Bagram Air Base with its secure runway.
•That meant the evacuation had to be conducted in a panic from Kabul’s civilian airport, with security assistance from the Taliban.
•That nightmare resulted in 13 dead American service members from a suicide bomber.
•The report says “at least four Afghan civilians, including children,” fell to their deaths clinging to departing U.S. planes. The White House hailed the evacuation as if it were a Dunkirk-style triumph, when it was really a chaotic humiliation.
•ISIS is reconstituting in Afghanistan. The Biden Administration “has not conducted a single strike against ISIS-K since 2021,”

 

[Gallipoli]

Most importantly the withdrawal from Afghanistan ended credible American strategic deterrence during the Biden Administration.

This directly led to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the attack by Hamas on Israel and increased hegemony by Iran and China.

Remember also that there is a now a "working" strategic partnership between Russia, China, Iran and North Korea.

 

[Gallipoli]

Well done Joe.

 

[urfan1]

Well done Joe.

Republicans' good, Democrats bad. I'm shocked the Republican House members reported it was all Biden's error. /s

 

[Gallipoli]

This post explains in a nutshell Russia's reasons for invading Ukraine- riches and natural resources. The Ukrainians simply want freedom. If Biden and Harris want to support green initiatives, they must help Ukraine.

While the invasion and annexation of Crimea was focused to obtain the hydrocarbon resources in these areas, the invasion of Ukraine's East focus on obtaining the ore deposits, specifically the huge lithium ore deposits, which are crucial for battery production.

There are currently three known sites which contain an extraordinary high amount of lithium ore, plus a fourth site where it is suspected. Those are:

1.) Polokhivka (Kirovohrad region)
2.) Shevchenko (Donetsk region)
3.) Dobre (Kirovohrad region)
4.) Kruta Balka (Zaporizhzhia region) - unconfirmed

When checking my maps, you will see that Russians are heading for the Shevchenko lithium deposits site, almost directly. This is certainly no coincidence.

And Trump's solution is to give it to Putin. No wonder Putin supports him.

 

[Gallipoli]

You are projecting again.
The invasion of Ukraine and the plundering of Ukrainian resources are a direct result of the Biden Doctrine. It has nothing to do with Trump. Russia is making a hard push towards the lithium mines in Ukraine, because Russia knows that lithium is one of the metals that Biden is not allowing to be mined in the US. Lithium is most directly used in EV batteries, which Biden has mandated to be produced in great quantities by 2027. This triples US demand for foreign mining.

Trump is the only one that has suggested Ukraine should just give the land up to Russia. That is stating facts, not projecting.

Yes, no consequential American but Trump called Putin "genius" and "savvy" when Putin invaded Ukraine. Trump now leads the party of Putin, he's already made 7 calls to Putin after leaving the presidency (not denied by Trump) and sent covid tests to Putin back when he was President and Americans could not get them (also has not been denied by Trump to my knowledge).

 

[Gallipoli]

Biden is afraid of his own shadow. He has left the poor Ukrainians twisting on the vine. Why does Biden withhold the aid that has been approved? This has nothing to do with Trump. The world is on fire because of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

Additionally, TSA cannot ensure its vetting and screening procedures prevent high-risk noncitizens who may pose a threat to the flying public from boarding domestic flights.” -

This has to be politics. Biden does not want to help Trump. He is too afraid of even implementing the legislation he worked to enact.

He will continue supporting Ukraine's sovereignty, and Trump will urge them to give up because they cannot win.

The Biden Doctrine is now complete. There are no consequences for any of the criminal actions for Joe Biden and his dirtball son.

Joe has pardoned Hunter Biden.

Don't recall you complaining when Trump pardoned Paul Manafort, Roger Stone, Michael Flynn, Steve Bannon, and George Papadopoulos. And once he takes office again, he can make a fortune by pardoning others who will pay for the pardons. And since pardoning is an official act, Trump can make as much money as he can without the fear of prosecution.

 

[Gallipoli]

Joe Biden's aides are discussing and planning a series of additional pardons for entire groups of people.

President Joe Biden’s senior aides are conducting a vigorous internal debate over whether to issue preemptive pardons to a range of current and former public officials who could be targeted with President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House, according to senior Democrats familiar with the discussions.

I am shocked, a House Republic lead Committee finds Biden made mistakes.

 

[Gallipoli]

if Biden issues these blanket pardons, he will be ratifying the idea that was so aptly laid out by Peru's General Óscar Benavides: "For my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law."

But.that is the Democrats strategy. Lawfare for thee and cover-ups for me.

And the Biden Doctrine continues. Biden approved the transfer of $10 billion to Iran. The approval was granted two days after the election. Appease and fund our enemies and hurt our friends. This insanity has to end.

Trump should hit Mexico with tariffs for the flood of fentynal and the 10 million illegals they pushed across our border. The wall is the least of the expenses they owe us.

While he's at it, he should slap a covid tariff on China to pay for the trillions they caused us.

Then he can slap another tax on China to shore up social security and Medicare.
