Biden is being played by Hamas, Iran and Qatar — with American and Israeli lives at stake

One of the Biden administration’s first foreign-policy moves was to remove the Houthis from the State Department’s list of foreign terrorist organizations.

This week, on orders from Iran, the Houthis launched cruise missiles and drones against Israel.

That Tehran [Iran] feels so emboldened to light a dozen fires across the Middle East with little to no response from the United States does not bode well for Israel’s northern border.

Hezbollah escalated its attacks on Israel this week with daily anti-tank missiles and rocket launches.

The Israeli national-security establishment appears to be waiting to enter Gaza until deterrence can be restored against Hezbollah — but on the current strategic trajectory, such deterrence may never be achieved.

The other delaying factor in Israel launching further operations to destroy Hamas is America’s undermining role in empowering Hamas and its Qatari sponsors to run the table on a hostage negotiation.

Never mind Qatar was the broker of the last US hostage deal, which netted Iran $6 billion for five people.

If Washington believes Hamas is worse than ISIS in its barbarism, why would US policy enable Qatar to provide a base of operations and direct funding to help Hamas commit more savage massacres?

Biden's behind-the-scene Foreign Policy team is putting the brakes on Israel's intention to eliminate Hamas terrorists from the Palistinian landscape.

With 200+ hostages up for negotians, Israel would have to impose at least a year-long halt in military operations against Hamas.

Looks like Joe wants to hams-string the Israelis and provide Hamas with a lengthy warm & cozy comfort-zone.

Not by Hamas, or Iran, or Qatar....by the Islamic moles placed in his own administration by Hussein.

We haven’t had an executive branch so riddled with enemy agents since FDR.

Of course he is

Joe is the useful idiot being used by Hamas AKA Iran...

They let him play whatever ‘leading’ part he wants...

Wartime president, FDR, Churchill, the Lone Ranger, GI Joe, Rambo, Gandi, you name them Joe imagines all the worlds eyes are on him...

There is a war in Israel and we have a mentally incompetent president. Did Humper go along with Joe to collect Joe’s 10 percent? This is such a ridiculous situation. How the hell did we get to such a corrupt state of affairs in the USA?

“We haven’t had an executive branch so riddled with enemy agents since FDR.“

FDR was winning the war when he died. Joe Biden will have got the US into three more before he goes, and I don’t see ‘victory’ at the end of these Democratic Party wars. Enemy agents abound, and financially the US is failing because of Biden’s recklessness, multiple conflicts. Not really a good scenario.

Iran. Taiwan? What’s the next worldwide disaster for Biden

Why wouldn’t they take hostages.

It’s a business.

Hamas is just a bunch of local yokels.

Iran however, we don’t want them in this.

Iran is the mastermind of hostage taking.

Their motto is “What happens in Iran stays in Iran. Why? Because we take you hostage!”

FDR was winning the war when he died.

Winning the war but losing the peace, in Europe anyway. By mid-1944 FDR was a very sick man, almost as bad as Biden is today. Stalin ran rings around him at Yalta, which set the stage for the loss of all of eastern Europe, including, tragically, Poland. Largely because of agents of influence in the government up to and including including Harry Hopkins. We didn't know this until the Evans and Romerstein books came out ten years ago, based on all the research they were able to do in the KGB files. It will probably be another 50 years before we get the truth about who's actually controlling Biden.

Back about 1980 a colleague wryly observed that, based on the evidence of Korea and Vietnam, that Democrats got us into wars and Republicans got us out of them. Oversimplification, of course, and Desert Storm broke the pattern, but we may be heading back into it.

It’s not enough to just “follow the money”, you’d have to know the real names of everyone involved at each and every juncture in the grand scheme of things.

Live puppet theater on the world stage:

Biden. puppet of the extreme left and HAMAS and Hezbollah, puppets of the savage muslims.

Obama and Company as the leftists puppet master pulling Biden’s strings.

Iran, the worlds most powerful muslim terrorist state puppet master of HAMAS adn Hezbollah.

In a battle of wits there is no contest.
The muslims are vicious and evil but cunning and devious when it comes to killing unarmed Christians and Jews.

Biden is so outright stupid and incompetent that he makes fellow puppet Charlie McCarhy look like Einstein.

Crime Regime Biden has already diverted public’s opinion away from with lies about giving the worlds biggest Terrorist Regime $6 Billion!!!!!

In 04/21 just 3 months in office, Joe gave the Palestinians 335 million dollars. The next year in 07/22, Joe ACTUALLY went to Gaza and delivered a speech giving them 316 more million-— plus another 7 million.

Joe gave 658 million dollars directly to Palestine. There is NO lying out of, or excuses. Experts predicted how that money would be spent, and now it has happened.

Biden isn’t being played by Hamas. He’s being directed by his handlers. They’re the ones who favor the Muslims. Stupid Brandon is just doing and saying what he is told to do.

Right, so maybe we need term limits. Too many people in US politics are SO connected and mobbed up in one way or another that they can only have acquired those connections and reached that level of corruption because of their lifetime of ‘participation’ in government!

We all know who they are!!

Biden is being played ...

Oh, BS.

"We" are the only ones being played, plus the entire state of Israel.

With every passing day, I see more evidence of a manufactured crisis, JUST as it smelled on 10/7.

xiden is merely fulfilling his role and meeting all expectations.
