Cause and effect

"Biden came up with a way to send billions of dollars to Iran instead. Cause and effect. What we are seeing right now is the effect."

Wow! It just seems like it was only last month when the Obama/Biden Administration(s) gave Iran more pallets of cash. As much as the normal folk caterwauled about this being stupid, and Iran would only use this cash to fund Hamas, we were all told to shut up and sit down. Controls were put in place to ensure that this cash would be used for humanitarian purposes only. Even though the head Mulla in Iran said his country would do whatever they wanted with that cash (as it is theirs), our very naive Secretary of State still thought the controls on the cash would be adequate. How did that work out? As of this morning, not well at all.

Last night (as you will hear on the news this morning), Hamas (now full of cash thanks to Iran and Tony Blinken) launched an all-out offensive against the State of Israel. Why? Because they can. With thousands of rockets being launched at Israel, Hamas actually overwhelmed the Iron Dome air defense system in Israel. Meanwhile, Hamas fighters were flooding across the border using every means necessary (including motorized hang gliders) to get to Israeli civilian targets. Some civilians were killed, some were wounded, some were taken hostage. It was a very ugly scene.

I remember as a lad, right after the 1967 Middle East war broke out. I asked my dad why this was happening. My dad said these people in the Middle East have been at war for generations and will continue to do so. Now they have Israel as a common enemy. Can Israel ever live in peace in this most troubled neighborhood? No - in the eyes of the radicals over there, Israel is a stain on the land. Israel has no right to exist.

My thinking on these endless skirmishes or wars over there is quite simple and maybe extreme. For major incursions such as this one, Israel needs to roll a couple of F-16s down the main street of Ramallah. It would be bloody and impactful, but that seems to be the only language that Hamas understands these days. Israel has tried the "land for peace" thing and were only played for suckers. Hamas will never stop, until they are stopped for good. It is unfortunate it would have to come to this, but enough is enough!

As for the United States, please stop being so naive all the time. The JCPOA Obama signed with Iran was way beyond stupid. The first thing Trump did was squash it like a bug. Biden wanted to renew it, but the well was way too poisoned by that time. Biden came up with a way to send billions of dollars to Iran instead. Cause and effect. What we are seeing right now is the effect.

Pray for the people of Israel. This could be going on for weeks, maybe months. Meanwhile, some in the Squad and our Congress will blame Israel for being attacked. Why? Because they are that stupid. That is why. And you can't fix stupid.
