    Biden is really trying to start a whole new war and make the Democrats lose this election.

      Honestly, I think Biden supports this unwaveringly because it aligns with US policy to keep the region destabilized.

      I mean they helped overthrow the Shah, aided the Taliban in fighting the soviets, invaded Iraq and Kuwait (which led directly to the creation of jihadist state – ISIS), aided a US-aligned faction in the Syrian civil war, helped put down the 2011 democratic revolutions… there is so much more.

      And for what? To keep them from realizing they are all arabs and are sitting on the largest collective reserves of oil in the world…

      Evil Empire.

          I found a paper on this here: https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.13169/arabstudquar.35.3.0255

          Seems like they were actually on the side of the dictators in Tunisia, Egypt and Yemen until they realized that they’d collapse. I think Libya is very well remembered, they just completely ruined what was formerly a stable, wealthy country (although a dictatorship of course).

          Also especially in Egypt when the elections didn’t turn out the way they wanted it because the Muslim Brotherhood candidate won, they backed the regime change and since then Egypt has a new dictator loyal to the US and Israel.

            The MIC has more control over US foreign policy than the US political class, because America is a shadow plutocracy — controlled by the near-circular venn-diagram of its wealthiest individuals and corporations — masquerading as a “democracy”. Americans are able to vote in free elections, but 90% of the politicians on state and federal ballots are pre-approved, pre-positioned and directly financed by the plutocracy; this is ultimately the case in every “democracy”, just with varying degrees of gratuity and success.

            The proof is honestly in most of the US’s present and past actions, both domestically and internationally (including the undying support for Israel). They’ve been allied with, and militarily supported, countless dictators all around the world for centuries, because dictatorships are more profitable for American plutocrats than democracy. Democracy poses a direct threat to corporate power and profits, and is literally why they overthrew the Shah in Iran. I genuinely believe that MAGA is more a power play BY the plutocracy to formally end American democracy and solidify the corporate dictatorship (through fascist theocracy), otherwise they will continue to face the threat of left leaning movements like Bernie Sanders actually coming to fruition.

        Biden has always been a narcissist. And many 80 year olds do get pretty petty and selfish, from what I’ve seen. We really need an age cap on government service so we dont have to go through this again. On supreme court justices and congressman too. Dying on the bench or in office of old age is wildly unacceptable for such important roles. GTFO.

        Either he’s making too much money from AIPAC to stop now. Or he’s bitter about being pushed out of the race for president this election. Or both.

          Or he’s a true believer. He’s admitted to being a Zionist. The man has a history of being as Pro Israeli as humanly possible to the detriment of everyone else.

          This is just who Biden is. His lack of morals make him believe Israel is doing the right thing.

            Agreed. It seems Biden decided at some point that he must side with Israel, no matter the cost. (I’m sure Iran intel is not helping.) Netanyahu sees no downside to ruthlessly using this against him, with a bonus of helping elect a more useful idiot.

            I’m not sure if Biden has jelly for brains these days. The poor fool has been getting increasingly humiliated by Israel for a year. It’s painful to watch, along with the devastation it’s caused.
