Biden is incapable of thinking past tomorrow’s headlines. All he knows is that he’s supposed to “look strong” in the media and he has foolishly (and unconstitutionally) decided to do this by unilaterally extending unlimited security guarantees to foreign states and quasi-states like Taiwan.
American aid and support should not be extended everywhere, and we should not think of foreign states as “friends” whom we will support unconditionally. Limited instances of military aid should *always* come with conditions attached. Failing to follow these basic protocols is a formula for disaster.
Very informative. It's shameful that the U.S. is a party to the immiseration, ethnic cleansing and genocide of an entire people as a price worth paying to maintain its military base in the Middle East also known as the state of Israel.
Daniel, I think this would be a good time to think about writing a piece on the Washington Doctrine — George Washington’s famous advice, followed for the first century of American history, that the United States should avoid “entangling alliances” with foreign states rooted in cultural or ethnic kinship rather than a clear-eyes view of American national interests.
I say this would be a good time to do so because Biden is going 180 degrees in the opposite direction.
“He torched the fucking house and then showed up with a firehose.”
"Washington knows how to set fires, and it likes setting them, but when it comes to putting them out it usually doesn’t know what it’s doing. More often than not, the preferred solution to a raging fire in the region is to throw even more fuel on it on the stupid assumption that this will somehow cause it to burn out."
So it must not be water that's coming out of the firehose.

It’s more like showing up with a flamethrower and claiming it’s a firehose.
That must be it. Our “leaders” don’t know the difference between a fire hose and a flame thrower.
They probably get confused when they see a hole in the ground.
