This week’s presidential debate made me each horrified and dismayed. Right here was the world’s strongest nation making an attempt to resolve which aged candidate to pick as its presidential candidate. Perhaps one of the best expression is ‘cringe-worthy.’
Joe Biden was left trying feeble and halting earlier than the bombastic Trump. No less than Trump made some sense in what he stated whether or not true or false. The previous president’s mouth is his greatest enemy in addition to his strongest level. Biden was shockingly inarticulate.
Few ought to doubt that President Biden is way too outdated for a second time period. He troopers on however clearly has misplaced the fireplace in his stomach that retains politicians operating. The second greatest motivator is cash. Proper now, a Niagara of cash is flowing to each candidates. America’s a lot vaunted democracy is on the market or no less than lease.
Take a look at the US Congress. Cash from pro-Israel teams floods Congress which provides billions to Israel and ally Egypt. Because the clever Pat Buchanan stated, ‘Capitol Hill has turn out to be Israeli-occupied territory.’ Since October seventh of final 12 months, the Biden administration has poured extra then $6.5 billion into Israel to fund its warfare in opposition to Palestine.
The Biden White Home is beneath the thumb of a cabal of pro-Israel neocons allied to the acute proper wingers now in energy in Israel. PM Netanyahu’s rickety coalition is dependent upon the votes of Israel’s far, far proper – a lot to the precise that the late, nice Israeli columnist Uri Avnery known as them ‘Jewish fascists.’ Ukraine can also be veering in that course.
Ukraine and Israel are each dominated by pro-Israel teams. Therefore the current present by Washington of $95 billion to Ukraine and Israel. No marvel many Israelis check with Ukraine as ‘the second Israel.’
Biden’s feebleness have to be addressed. The Democrats badly want a brand new chief. My sense is that California’s abled, telegenic governor Gavin Newsom is essentially the most engaging candidate. He at present denies any plans to run. However stress have to be mounting on him to leap into the race.
Biden will not be completed but, however the subsequent weeks might show his undoing. He nonetheless has a number of marketing campaign funds to purchase TV adverts. Trump has the promise of $100 million from the widow of Sheldon Adelson, the world’s fifth richest girl and an ardent supporter of Israel.
Up to now, that appears like that ante will purchase Congress and the presidency for now. What a darkish time in US historical past. America appears to be going the best way of the outdated Soviet Union, with a decrepit management sitting atop a sea of corruption. One wonders whom the determined Dems will choose to interchange Biden. Maybe Tony Blinken, Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton (gasp) or a shock candidate like businessmen Jeff Bezos.
Those that don’t love the US have to be very completely happy now. Issues might solely worsen.
