The Drums of War :: By Bill Wilson

The Biden Administration’s foreign policy, like the Obama Administration’s, has made the world a much more dangerous place.

Sending “humanitarian” aid to Hamas, the Palestinian Authority, and the Houthis, knowing full well that this aid is used for weapons and unfreezing billions of dollars for Iran, has resulted in a terrorist uprising and horrible war against Israel. It has, like the Obama Administration, destabilized the Middle East and undermined peace initiatives of the Trump Administration.

Moreover, Biden’s recent action giving Ukraine permission to use US-provided weapons against Russian forces has escalated an already bad situation in the Ukraine-Russian war. Iran is reportedly also close to having nukes.

Reuters reported on May 31,

“Biden administration officials say the latest decision, which went into effect on Thursday, was narrowly tailored to the battle in the Kharkiv region. U.S. officials say it allows Kyiv to use U.S.-supplied weapons to fire back against Russian forces “attacking them or preparing to attack them” from across the border. That gives Ukrainians on the frontlines a green light to fire over the border at Russian forces using U.S.-supplied High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) launchers armed with Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) missiles and other weaponry, experts say.”

In fact, Ukraine also received permission from Germany to use its weapons against Russia, with The Netherlands, Finland, and Poland also expressing support.

The Russian news agency Tass reported on June 3,

Moscow is warning Washington against ill-considered steps, the consequences of which could be fatal, said Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, commenting on Kyiv’s permission to strike Russia with American weapons. “I would like to warn American officials against miscalculations that could have fatal consequences. For some unknown reason, they underestimate the seriousness of the rebuff they could receive,” Ryabkov said.

Even Pro-Ukraine Republican Hawks take issue with how Biden went about giving Ukraine permission to use US weapons against Russia.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner (R-OH), Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-AL), and House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Mike McCaul (R-TX) said in a joint statement,

“By leaking to the press that the policy reversal only applies to certain U.S.-provided weapons in a limited area within Russia, the administration has telegraphed to Russia exactly how to effectively adapt to this change in policy, thereby decreasing the military effectiveness of the decision.”

Proverbs 14:16 says, “A wise man fears and turns from evil, but a fool is careless and reckless.”

The drums of war are beating around fires on many fronts. And Biden is wobbling with a bucket of kerosene to pour on burning embers.

Stupidocrisy: Iran Pursues Nukes At Record Pace :: By Bill Wilson

The United Nations International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is supposed to keep nuclear weapons out of the hands of terrorist-sponsoring nations like Iran. Associated Press has reviewed a not-yet public report by the IAEA stating that Iran now has a stockpile of highly enriched uranium 30 times the limit of the Obama-Iran nuclear deal.

The report has IAEA head Rafael Grossi wringing his hands because Iran won’t allow UN inspectors access to the nuke facilities, and Iran now has enough uranium to build “several nuclear weapons.” Grossi inherited this situation from his predecessors, who essentially turned a blind eye to Iran’s nuclear ambitions for over 25 years. Stopping Iran’s nuke program is a ruse.

Barack Obama sent Iran billions of US dollars on a pallet and negotiated a deal with the terrorist-sponsoring state that essentially guaranteed Iran would have nuclear weapons.

The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on May 27 that Joe Biden is pressing European allies to back away from further censoring Iran for its record stockpile of nuclear material. WSJ said France and Britain are concerned that Biden lacks a strategy for dealing with Iran’s nuclear advances.

This is nothing new. US Presidents since George W Bush have been lax in stopping Iran, which has consistently insisted on eliminating Israel from the face of the earth and is a main sponsor of global terrorism. Only Donald Trump was severe on Iran in an effort to stop its nuclear program and terrorist sponsorship.

In June 2005, The Daily Jot reported that then IAEA chief Mohamed El Baradei was appointed to a third term as head of the IAEA largely because US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice gave him the green light with hopes of stronger enforcement against Iran. The Daily Jot said,

“To date, El Baradei has been reluctant to crack down on Iran. He said last November that unless he sees the intent to build a nuclear weapon along with a delivery system, then there is no weapons program. He has apparently turned a blind eye to the Russians, who are providing nuclear technology and scientists who are assisting Iran in expanding its missile system dimensions to carry a nuclear-sized payload, the North Korean missile experts and tunnel building engineers, and not to forget China’s missile experts and technology.”

At that time, the IAEA had at its head an Egyptian-born Islamist giving lip service to stopping one of the most radical Islamic states from pursuing nuclear weapons. That didn’t work too well. Today, we have Great Britain and France wanting to take a hard stance against Iran and its terrorist proliferation, and Joe Biden essentially says, ‘No, no, hold off. We don’t want to stir up any more reasons for Muslims to vote against me.”

You know, the Bible says there will be times like this. The Apostle Paul writes in 2 Timothy 3:13, “evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.” It’s almost too surreal to believe. Bush lets the feckless UN handle Iran. Obama sends Iran billions and strikes an agreement for a nuclear Iran. Biden gives Iran a pass. This is no less than, say it with me… Stupidocrisy.
