It was galling, to say the least, to see President Joe Biden, taking credit for the fall of President Bashar al-Assad in Syria. Biden (and his administration) did everything he could to preserve Assad by restraining Israel and preventing it from destroying Hezb’allah, which served as his private army. Biden did this by threatening Israel with U.S. and possible UN (and European) sanctions, ceasefire “deals,” and withholding vital weaponry.
Despite protestations to the contrary, he had been slow-walking, if not denying, much-needed ammunition soon after the October 7 massacre in 2023. Later in the conflict, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin even suggested that an invasion of Rafah (on the Gazan border with Egypt) would force the administration to “change the US calculus on security assistance to Israel.” That, of course, would alter a long-standing security alliance the U.S. and Israel have enjoyed at least since 1952.
It was the Obama/Biden administration that elevated Iran and its terrorist proxies in client states like Syria and Lebanon in the first place. Biden hired the same Obama team, his administration representing “Obama’s third term.” These included Robert Malley as the “Iran Envoy” (since removed for ‘mishandling classified documents’), Jake Sullivan, Obama’s National Security Advisor, Anthony Blinken, now Secretary of State, and Pentagon spokesman John Kirby. They are Iran-firsters. It has also been one of their obsessions to pursue the so-called Joint Coordinated Plan of Action (JCPOA ) that ultimatelyprovides a pathway to a nuclear bomb for the ayatollahs and Iran, an oil-rich nation with a radical Islamic regime — that would render the region and world far less safe.
They maintain an overbearing concern for Iran and seek to help the long-suffering Shiite Persians restore an ill-conceived notion of “balance” in the Middle East between the Sunni Arab states and Israel, on one hand, and Iran on the other. That the ayatollahs can be found leading chants for “death to America” and “death to Israel” on a weekly basis is considered a plus for today’s Democrats.
But their theories have come crashing down in the face of Israeli military power, moral vision, and will — and Trump’s victory in November. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is loathed by Biden/Harris and the Democrats at least as much as Trump, and the two hold similar statuses in their respective nations, as populist outsiders, despised by their own leftist/globalist establishment and deep state.
