Biden left without an easy solution as campus protests heat up
As protests and attempts to quell them spread from New York to Los Angeles and many states in between, President Joe Biden finds himself caught in a series of political and diplomatic crosscurrents without an easy solution.
You're viewing a single thread.
He’s got a super easy solution:
“Sorry Israel, but you fucked up royally! We’re suspending all aid; recognizing the state of Palestine as an independent nation, and will begin the process of rebuilding Gaza and reappropriating all of your illegal settlements on their land.”
Simple!
"Okay. We're joining BRICS. Mr. Putin loves genocide, and he's really going to love all this American tech we can show him."
Simple indeed.
US sells/provides/uses so many armaments around the world that it's laughable to think Russia doesn't already have their hands on at least a vast chunk of our "tech". Surely trying to reverse-engineer what they can, as I'm sure any country does to foreign equipment.
Usually it's the manufacture process of tech that is the "secret sauce".
They have been picking up US tech from the battlefield for the last 2 years
They're going to join a coalition that includes Iran?
Tomorrow? Of course not. Inside the decade? Absolutely. Saudi-Israel relations are thawing as we speak, and that hostility basically dates since the foundation of the modern Israeli state. If Israel and Iran suddenly find themselves on the same side of geopolitics (i.e., if both of them are American enemies because apparently a lot of Lemmings think we should break diplomatic relations with Israel altogether, meaning that Israel is on the side of China, Russia, etc.), then anything is possible.
What would Bibi's alternative be? Go it alone?
Israel just attacked Iran, who then responded by shooting a bunch of rockets at them literally just days ago. I also don't think Iran is going to back Israel while they're slaughtering a bunch of Palestinians. Furthermore Bibi isn't going to be around forever and it remains to be seen if the rest of the Israeli leadership follows in his footsteps once he's gone.
You're right. Forging any kind of working relationship between Israel and Iran would be extremely challenging. I guess maybe Israel and the US should try to find a path forward as allies.
I see no issue with forging a path forward as allies provided they end their genocide and occupation. I mean, what else is there really to be done short of that?
