President Donald John Trump rung in the new year in 2020 by killing Qasem Soleimani, the head of Iran’s terrorism division. Boy was Biden mad.
Biden said, “Trump has no strategy here. No endgame. The only way out of this crisis is through diplomacy – clear-eyed, hard-nosed diplomacy grounded in strategy, that’s not about one-off decisions or one-upmanship. We need diplomacy that is designed to de-escalate the crisis, protect our people and secure our regional interests – including our counter-ISIS campaign.”
Of course, there was no escalation.
Iran held a funeral, millions pretended to mourn, and Disney sent Martha Raddatz as its emissary to pay its respects. After all, Iran is a friend of Red China.
Compare and contrast to Biden’s “clear-eyed, hard-nosed diplomacy grounded in strategy” in which he killed a pro-American in Afghanistan and his 9 kids. The Pentagon sent out one of its 491 generals (and 162 admirals) to say oops, our bad.
No one will be charged with murder. Or manslaughter. Or anything.
Thanks to Biden’s “clear-eyed, hard-nosed diplomacy grounded in strategy,” Afghanistan is FUBAR.
President Trump had talked the Taliban into not shooting at Americans. He left a country at peace, much like Korea in 1953. While Korea technically is a forever war, you are safe there.
Afghanistan was getting there. Was. President FUBAR wanted to announce at the 20th anniversary of 9/11 that he — and he alone — had brought our troops home and that it was time to turn the page.
But we don’t call him President FUBAR without cause. On 9/11 he was silent (except for a strange barking episode) while the Taliban swore in its new cabinet. 4 of the cabinet members were terrorists Obama sprung from Gitmo in exchange for deserter Bowe Bergdahl.
President FUBAR’s surrender showed the world his “clear-eyed, hard-nosed diplomacy grounded in strategy.” It consists of the enemy waiting for him to get bored and stop fighting.
Neither he nor any of our 491 generals (and 162 admirals) came up with a plan to bring American civilians home first, bring American war materiel home second, blow up the bases, and leave.
Now they sit around saying, plan? I thought you were coming up with a plan. It was all helter skelter.
Oh and the troops won’t be home long.
Dave DeCamp reported, “A day after the US, UK, and Australia announced a new military pact to counter China, Australia’s defense minister said more US military aircraft and troops will deploy to the country.
“Australian Defense Minister Peter Dutton said Canberra made the comments in Washington after a meeting with Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. Dutton said the US and Australia agreed to enhance ‘our force posture cooperation.'”
Surprised? Then you are new at this. The Pentagon is always looking for new places to build bases, stock with planes, armored vehicles, and missiles. This helps enhance the post-retirement employment offers by defense contractors for our 491 generals (and 162 admirals).
Best of all, they get a new and shiny medal to add to their chests. They already are designing the Australian Defense Service Expeditionary Medal. And since this is a new grouping of nations, there will be an AUKUS Medal as well.
I sooooooo want them to add France.
So instead of fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan, we will fight them in Australia.
To divert attention from his surrender of Afghanistan (and $90 billion in cash and war materiel), President FUBAR brought up covid, which according to the government has spun out of control despite half the nation being vaccinated. If more people are dying of covid today with a vaccine than died a year ago without a vaccine, maybe there is something wrong with the vaccine.
Or the numbers.
Anyway, President FUBAR wants a vaccine mandate. The people are saying no loudly and often.
Then there is inflation. Officially it is 5.3%. If they keep printing up money to splurge on family and friends in the name of infrastructure.
How bad are things? Senator Joe Manchin, D-Manchin, may be our only hope because he is holding up the $3.5 trillion giveaway.
And leave it to President FUBAR to export inflation.
Zero Hedge reported, “IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol delivered some unwelcoming news for commercial and residential natural gas buyers during an interview on Bloomberg TV Friday morning. He said European natural gas prices might push higher in the coming weeks as the heating season begins.”
President FUBAR gave Putin’s pipeline his blessing, which means Putin controls Europe’s supply of natural gas. Oh well, they can always use their windmills and solar panels to heat their homes.
Oh, and this will trigger other inflation.
Zero Hedge reported, “Soaring natural gas prices across the UK have disrupted companies from operating. The latest is slaughterhouses that use carbon dioxide, a byproduct of fertilizer derived from natural gas.
“Richard Griffiths, chief executive officer of the British Poultry Council, told Bloomberg surging natural gas prices is a massive blow for poultry companies, which frequently use a byproduct of fertilizer production — carbon dioxide — to incapacitate birds at slaughterhouses.
“CO2 supplies are incredibly tight, Griffiths said, adding that any further shortages could create massive headwinds for the industry and hinder chicken production. Already, weekly chicken output has dropped 5%-10%, and Christmas turkey production could drop by a fifth.”
To be fair, President FUBAR is building a wall to keep illegal aliens out of … Tajikistan.
Just the News reported, “While the Biden administration halted construction of the border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, the United States is funding border security efforts for Tajikistan, a former Soviet republic trying to keep Afghan insurgents and refugees out.
“One day after the Biden administration’s Aug. 31 deadline to withdraw from Afghanistan, the U.S. Embassy in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, announced that it had launched a project to construct new facilities for a Border Guard Detachment in Ayvoj, along the Tajik-Afghan-Uzbek border.”
President FUBAR is doing all he can to make sure the Taliban wipes out any and all opposition. None will leave.
Things along our border are chaotic because President FUBAR wants a border crisis that will erase the border. Instead of sending in the Army to secure our border, he is trying to stop Fox from reporting on the sea of people trying to invade.
Instead, President FUBAR brought in thousands of National Guard personnel and put hundreds of police on the streets in the hopes that a peaceful protest by 700 or so Trump supporters would turn into a riot.
He is fighting the real enemy.
Us.
He has F-15s and nukes, remember?
Biden was angry when we took out Qasem Soleimani because he was a terrorist.
But Biden is silent about the Pentagon killing a father and his 9 children for no reason at all.
This presidency is the 8th carbon copy of the Obama administration, so weak that you can barely read the ink. The administration is filled with deputies and assistant deputies whose only credentials are color of skin or Ivy League diploma.
When Obama said, “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f*** things up,” it was not a warning. It was the plan.
