Blinky's Middle-East tour highlights US impotence and ineptitude

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken wants us to believe that he's been "working aggressively" to free the hostages, get a "humanitarian pause," and bring more aid into Gaza. He's achieved little or nothing on all three fronts. As SecState, Blinken is America's voice in the global community. What he's been demonstrating to that community is that America is weak, indecisive, and not in any way fit for the leadership role it imagines is its due. The Ukraine disaster approaches its last act. Remember "whatever it takes for as long as it takes?" Ukraine remembers. Nobody in Washington does. The war is rapidly approaching its two year anniversary. In the first months Zelensky was on the cusp of a peace deal with Moscow, but was waved off by his masters in Washington and London. "Wait a few months and you'll be negotiating from a position of strength," they assured him. Half a million Ukrainian casualties later, Ukraine is destroyed. NATO is weaker. America is weaker. The EU is weaker. Russia is stronger. Before that war can be put to bed, America faces another test of its credibility in the Middle East. Now Team Biden is standing with Israel as Israel demonstrates to all the world that it will proceed with its genocidal campaign against the Palestinians whether Washington likes it or not. When America's attack dog ignores the commands of its purported master, you have to wonder who's really calling the shots. We know it's not Dementia Joe, and it's not Blinken or Sullivan. But you'll notice there's a serious deep state adult on the case now, following Blinky's footsteps and trying to mitigate the damage. Whether Bill Burns can right the ship remains to be seen, but I'm not optimistic. And remember; Russia and Hamas are just minor skirmishes on the way to the real battle the Apostles of American Exceptionalism have planned for us. Forget the Taliban. Forget Russia, Forget Hamas... Set your bomb-sites on Communist China!
