Biden’s 5th Gaza veto in UN makes him an Ace…of Genocide

 

Biden’s 5th Gaza veto in UN makes him an Ace…of Genocide

Nearly a thousand Palestinians were killed or wounded in Gaza Thursday after Israeli forces opened fire on people surrounding an aid convoy. The UN Security Council tried to pass a resolution condemning the massacre, but President Biden came to Israel’s defense with his fifth veto of Security Council votes to end Israeli genocide in Gaza.

Israel admitted they shot into the crowd all right, but it was the Palestinians fault for threatening Israeli soldiers and stampeding. First Israel starves the Palestinians fleeing US and Israeli bombs, then opens fire on them when they rush the food aid trucks.

Biden’s veto was based on a simple fact…he didn’t have all the facts warranting a condemnation of Israel’s grotesque ongoing genocide in Gaza.

In WWI a fighter pilot who shot down 5 enemy plane was termed as Ace, a mark of distinction sought after by ever combat fighter pilot. Biden’s fifth veto of Israel’s endless civilian massacres in Gaza makes him an Ace of Genocide, something no other world leader would dare to emulate.

Biden needs muzzle to stop reckless, inflammatory personal attacks

 

Job 1 for any president is not to spew personal insults at world leaders to inflame delicate issues of war and peace.
 
At a campaign stop Wednesday, Biden called Russian President Vladimir Putin a “crazy SOB” (Son of a Bitch). Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was much more circumspect in pushing back, saying, “Such boorish statements from the mouth of a US leader are hardly capable of hurting the head of another country in any way, much less President Putin. But it is a great shame for the country (US) itself,”
 
Biden knows better. He made that scurrilous remark to ramp up support for his reelection with voters who have largely abandoned him on his lost proxy war against Russia destroying Ukraine, and his enabling Israel’s genocidal ethnic cleansing of Gaza.
 
Biden’s senseless attack is business as usual for a ‘shoot from the hip’ president. In 2021 he called Putin a “killer” somehow forgetting that with the thousands of bombs he’s dropped in the Middle East and Africa…nobody kills like Biden. Recently Biden proclaimed, without an iota of proof, that “Putin and his thugs” were responsible for right wing Russian nationalist and Putin opponent Alexei Navalny’s death. But Kyrylo Budanov, leader of Ukraine's CIA backed GUR military intelligence service, believes that Navalny's death was simply the result of natural causes, not an assassination at all. Don’t expect any retraction from Quick Draw Joe.
 
Biden also called his other great imagined enemy, Chinese President Xi Jinping, a “dictator” right after meeting with him to improve US China relations. When it comes to insulting world leaders, Biden just can’t keep his trap shut.
 
In calling Putin a “crazy SOB”, Biden hinted that Putin “and others” have him “worried about nuclear conflict.” Between extending the US proxy war with Russia for 2 years now, enabling genocide in Gaza and using public attacks totally unworthy of any president, it’s Joe Biden, not Putin and others that have the US electorate worried about nuclear war.
 
Don’t muzzle the presidential dog…muzzle his owner.

US election No. 60 likely worst choice ever

 

US election No. 60 likely worst choice ever

Quite possibly, President Biden and Donald Trump will top the ballot on Election Day 8 months from now. If so, it will represent the worst choice ever in this the 60th US presidential election. 

How can that be? For starters, the likely Republican candidate, former President Trump, launched a coup on Election Certification Day in 2021 to stay in office. That was a war on democracy which, if successful, would have ended the American Experiment in democracy. Tho it failed, a half dozen died during the coup or its immediate aftermath. Over a hundred law enforcement were injured preserving the peaceful transfer of power, the most sacred pillar of democracy.

The American justice system has failed to hold Trump accountable, allowing him to run again 4 years later. If victorious, Trump will complete the democratic collapse he inspired 4 years earlier. Nearly every Republican leader has endorsed a traitor to American democracy to retain political viability in what is now the ATP (American Traitor Party).

That brings us to the incumbent, Joe Biden. While there is neither nuance nor shade of gray about Trump, Biden runs to spectrum from laudable good to pure evil. Biden was the anchor that allowed voters to reject Trump’s descent into democratic destruction in 2020. In 3 years he’s accomplished much to reassert American democracy while implementing significant domestic accomplishments improving life for the middle and lower classes.

But on foreign policy Joe Biden morphed into deranged Mr. Hyde from domestic policy’s kindly Dr. Jekyll. Right out of starting gate he ramped up proxy war against any Russian rapprochement with Europe. How? By funneling hundreds of millions in weapons to the ultra-nationalist Kyiv regime to finish off the Russian leaning Ukrainians in Donbas. He deceived Russia that Minsk II would be implemented to give Donbas independence. He rebuffed every Russian attempt to address their security concerns from NATO expansion. He made the Russian invasion to preserve its security inevitable. He compounded this mendacity by sabotaging the Ukraine Russian peace agreement that could have ended the war in the first month. Result? Two years of relentless destruction of Ukraine as a functioning country with ever 400,000 dead and 14 million on the move, of which 6 million have left Ukraine. Two years in Biden demands $61 billion more in weapons to continue to slaughter he precipitated.

As horrendous as his Ukraine policy, Biden’s Mr. Hyde reached his depraved nadir with his greenlighting Israel’s genocidal ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in Gaza. The destruction of Gaza as a habitable land for the proud Palestinian people is nearly compete. Biden calls Israel’s genocide ‘self-defense.’ He cast 3 vetoes in the UN Security Council to defeat a UN call for cease fire. He’s lobbying Congress for another $14 billion in weapons to supplement the 25,000 tons already sent. Without Biden’s weapons and unwavering UN support, the ongoing genocide could not have occurred.

The electorate is not unaware of the dreadful choice awaiting them November 5 if Trump and Biden are the only electable choices. Voters are fleeing both deeply flawed candidates by the millions. Their votes will be divvied up between third party, writing in a person of peace and democracy, or simply skipping the most important office on the ballot.

Destroy democracy at home or destroy peoples abroad. That is a Hobson’s choice millions of voters will say ‘NO THANKS’ to November 5th


First 2 years of US proxy war against Russia finds both US and Ukraine in downward spiral

First 2 years of US proxy war against Russia finds both US and Ukraine in downward spiral
 
 
Between 2007, and February 24, 2022, former presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump and Joe Biden floated NATO membership to Ukraine. This was in violation of George H.W. Bush’s 1991 promise not to expand NATO eastward toward Russia.
 
 
Sensible diplomats and historians scolded the US that such a move east was a red line of provocation that would inevitably result in military Russian pushback. They compared it with JFK’s willingness to start nuclear war with Russia to prevent installation of Russian missiles just 90 miles from the US in Cuba.
 
 
But the reckless presidents occupying the While House pushed on with their lust to expand NATO till Russia was completely surrounded to the west by US allies, possibly nuclear armed, to both isolate and degrade Russia as a political rival to US European hegemony.
 
But it was President Biden, after 15 long years of Russian pleading with America to cease NATO expansion, to trigger a violent Russian response. While touting NATO membership for Ukraine, he poured hundreds of millions in weaponry for Ukraine to finish off the Russian leaning Ukrainian dissidents in the Donbas seeking independence from Kyiv. He rebuffed every Russian entreaty to consider Russia’s security concerns. He even told Russia thru his
spokesperson that ‘Russia’s security concerns were not up for discussion.’ A first year political science student wouldn’t have made that mistake.
 
 
So, after 15 years of pleading, Russia’s military response began 2 years ago today. What has it achieved for Ukraine who lobbied the US hard for NATO membership? Over 400,000 dead soldiers and 10,000 dead civilians. Over 14 million Ukrainians displaced from their homes, with 6 million fleeing as refugees in 11 European countries. Over a third of the prewar Ukraine economy is gone, putting Ukraine on US/NATO life support just to function. The Ukrainian military is near collapse. That is quite a needless decline for the US and Ukraine to provoke a senseless war.
 
 
Tho certainly not bloody nor broken economically as Ukraine, the US is also in decline from the war it provoked 2 years ago. Our sanctions against Russia have failed spectacularly. Our call for worldwide support to defeat Russia have been, outside of NATO and a few others, ignored. Dozens of countries, large and small, have abandoned US hegemony to join BRICS AND SCO, two political economic organizations dedicated to a multi polar world of nations not dominated by America. The US has boxed itself into a decline in world influence from which it will likely never recover. That is both good and long overdue.
 
 
But rather than face reality and direct Kyiv to negotiate the best resolution possible in a hopeless war, the US slogs on, pledging Ukraine $60 billion more in weapons for which there a few soldiers left to fire.
 
 
America’s decline which began 2 years ago today is political, diplomatic and moral, a trifecta of stupidity of which the Big Fools in the Biden administration are too blind or simply unwilling to see.
The US proxy war against Russia in Ukraine, a downward spiral for the US and Ukraine…with no end in sight.
