The DAMAGE report of Biden's first military action as President - Biden Era


Lets Get Real:

The American LEFT will not be happy, they always want to appease the enemies of the US, while the right will it see as a limited strike, something that Trump would have DONE, in other words not a great first action.  When your new to the White House, you have to send a message that you are not to played with or there will be a reaction.  In the first few days of the Reagan Administration the US shot down two Libyan planes and approved after event, when Israel hit Iraq over its fear that the Iraq was going down the nuclear route.  One has to recall that the Tehran Regime does not care about individuals, it kills enough of its own people and others to think that matters.   Biden should have HIT HARDER, this would have made an impression on Iran, but Biden wants to appease Iran to get them back in to the Obama nuclear deal. Weakness breeds contempt, and Biden is weak.

Biden's sanctions on Saudi Arabia EXPECTED - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports on the release of US intelligence report that states that the Washington Post writer, Jamal Khashoggi was killed on the orders of the Saudi Crown Prince, the article states the following, "  Biden administration is considering the cancellation of arms deals with Saudi Arabia that pose human rights concerns as well as the limiting of future military sales to "defensive" weapons. "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the Biden Oval has learned nothing from the failure of the 1970s and the Administration of Jimmy Carter, sometime down the road the US will need SA support for some action, and they will have to decide what matters most, morality or pure real politic.   The American people knew who they were getting when they elected President Biden, thus the US can expect four years of non leadership, the limited attack on Iran backed group in Syria and this slap in the face to an ally.  One would have thought that Biden with his years in the Senate and Vice - President would have learned something, it seems NOT.  Presidential weakness in the US leads to other actors taking the stage, and its not the benefit of the West.

Biden vs. Saudi Arabia vs Iran - The Middle East Chess Board

The White House: Has a readout of a telephone call between President Biden and the King of Saudi Arabia, " President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. spoke today with King Salman bin Abdulaziz al-Saud of Saudi Arabia to address the longstanding partnership between the United States and Saudi Arabia. Together they discussed regional security, including the renewed diplomatic efforts led by the United Nations and the United States to end the war in Yemen, and the U.S. commitment to help Saudi Arabia defend its territory as it faces attacks from Iranian-aligned groups. The President noted positively the recent release of several Saudi-American activists and Ms. Loujain al-Hathloul from custody, and affirmed the importance the United States places on universal human rights and the rule of law. The President told King Salman he would work to make the bilateral relationship as strong and transparent as possible. The two leaders affirmed the historic nature of the relationship and agreed to work together on mutual issues of concern and interest.  "

Lets Get Real:

The above looks great in till you recall that the US intelligence has marked the Saudi Crown Prince as the main authority in the killing of  Jamal Khashoggi a Washington Post columnist.  US intelligence is to publish the report, this will cause a problem in Saudi and US relationship, the left will demand sanctions against Saudi Arabia and the Crown Prince, the problem is that the Biden Administration can not have its cake and eat it, the US needs SA as a strong ally, in as much that SA and the US are united against the Tehran Regime.  Once the report is published and any sanctions against SA are set in place, one can expect problems from the Middle East, SA will want to show that without SA support that Iran is a big threat,  and the Biden Oval will find a old CIA Saying comes in to force he might be a son of bitch but he is our son of bitch.  This will be real politics at its purest, not the best, just pure. 

Biden's military strike appeases Iran - Limited Strike - Biden Era

Daily Mail: Reports on the Biden Military Strike, " Pentagon officials said they offered up several larger groups of targets but Biden approved the smallest option. "

Lets Get Real:

This limited military strike on Iran backed terror group in Syria is small fry in the reporting of the Daily Mail, the Biden Oval is frightened to so anything that will really upset Iran, the Tehran will see by this limited strike that it can push the Biden Oval around and attack the US but with a very timid reaction by the Biden Oval.   The lack of any big action against this terror group will show Tehran that it can get the bomb and the Biden Oval will not face them toe to toe, the Biden Oval has blinked even before it has done anything, Mr Chamberlain PART TWO.  It has been argued by this blog, that weakness leads to conflict, expect Tehran to push the Biden Oval around, you can smell the fear coming from Biden. 

Biden's first Military Strike in Syria - Biden Era


Lets Get Real:

This is surprise from the Biden Administration, it has attacked a Iran backed terror group in Syria, thus the Biden Oval is showing Iran, that it has a stick and is not afraid to use it, of course the Biden Oval still wants to appease Iran, this could be a message to Tehran, to do a DEAL now, or the Biden Administration will take other pots shots at Iran and its backed terror groups.  Biden does not want to give the impression that his Administration is WEAK, it might be popular on the left to appease Iran, and that is the goal of the Biden Administration, but there are always different paths to a DEAL.  It will be interesting to see the reaction of the Tehran regime, what path will they take.
