Too Little, Too Late, By Biden on Iran

President Biden pulled punches when enforcing oil sanctions against Iran. Forsaking the leverage inherited from President Trump’s “maximum pressure,” Biden opted for “maximum deference” from the get-go, and with clearly disastrous results.

Not only is there no deal in place today constraining Iran’s nuclear program, but Tehran’s theocrats have used oil export revenues – an estimated at $144 billion of which was earned during Biden’s first three years – to underwrite the cycle violence currently engulfing the Middle East.

  1. I still maintain Regan should have turned that country into glass after the hostages were released. Think about the number of middle east conflicts that could have been avoided since if he had. I'm hoping Trump takes out all of their oil infrastructure the next time they twitch.

    1. Compare and contrast: how many countries has Iran invaded? How many has the US invaded?
      There's an argument to be made that the United States isn't the world's good guy we've all been told (propagandized,) since Kindergarten, to believe.

  2. Back in the day, Jimmy Carter was considered the worst President in U S history.
    Then Obama earned that title in two terms/eight years.
    Show of hands who think gropey grifter p(R)esident Joe Biden is the worst one in four years.
    Obama said (paraphrase): "Never underestimate Joe's ability to fuck things up."
    Seems like the (D)imwits choose a vice-president who's more incompetent than the President is.

    1. The truly funny part is, if the whining Demoncrats hadn't stolen the 2020 election, instead of entering office in 1 month, Trump would be leaving office for the last time. I hated that the Demoncrats stole the 2020 election -- but I think Trump and the Trump team are much stronger for it.

  3. What then of the (original) purpose of the UN?
    The U.S. must stop, stop, stop being the world's cop. The U.S. is being bled by picking winners and losers. Then turning around to rebuild or shadow govern the losers.

    It would go a long way to declare for real, not kidding death penalty for any U.S. politician, past or present, to help themselves to America's largessebin any form.
