The President of the United States wrote a programme article. Under the pretext of defending peace, Biden asks Congress for money to fuel conflicts in Ukraine and Palestine. Why would he want to do that?
Theory of Evil
American President Joe Biden, famous for falling off the plane and inadequate behaviour at events, often can not independently pronounce coherently at least a couple of words. Nevertheless, the US leader published a programme article in the Washington Post newspaper “The US will not back down to the challenge of Putin and Hamas”, in which he equated the Palestinian Hamas movement with Russian President Vladimir Putin, calling them terrorists and promising to fight them until victory.
Whether Biden himself polished this publicistic “masterpiece” about “absolute evil” or his speechwriters did it for him is not known to the public, but one thing is absolutely clear – the article turned out to be hypocritical and pharisaical. Which, however, is quite common for American politics.
Thus, Biden, in the usual manner for the USA, hypocritically declares his desire to achieve peace in Ukraine and Palestine, while in fact he contributes to fuelling conflicts by all means. Suffice it to recall all the new supplies of arms to Kiev and Tel Aviv, political support for their regimes, and the deployment of aircraft carrier groups to areas adjacent to the escalation zones.
“Babies and toddlers, mothers and fathers, grandparents, people with disabilities and even holocaust survivors have been mutilated and killed. Entire families were murdered in their homes. Bodies riddled with bullets and burned beyond recognition,” Biden described Hamas atrocities inside Israel. According to him, he is “heartbroken” over these images.
Recall, the American administration demanded elections in the Gaza Strip, realising that as a result, Hamas supporters would come to power. That is, they created this crisis themselves, using the confrontation as wood for the fire.
The budgetary issue
However, one does not need special analytical skills to discern the true background of this publication. Its purpose is obvious – to get Congressional approval to continue Biden’s policy of supporting the regimes in Ukraine and Israel and thereby strengthen his personal political position in the run-up to the US presidential elections.
– In his article, Biden demonstrates the readiness of the democratic world, to which he refers the United States, to confront the so-called authoritarian world, by which he means Russia, China, Iran and Hamas. And in his opinion, the United States must confront all of this in a comprehensive manner, that is, simultaneously. That is why Biden continues to ask Congress for funding for both Ukraine and Israel at once. Under this sauce of confronting the authoritarian world, he requests aid to Kiev and Tel Aviv in one package. Republicans differentiate between Israel, whose aid they consider mandatory, and Ukraine, whose aid they consider optional. Political analyst Gevorg Mirzayan believes that Biden is equating Putin and Hamas in order to make sure that aid to Ukraine slips along with aid to Israel.
It is also clear that in the conditions of record low ratings of the incumbent US president, the text explains and justifies the failures of the Biden administration in foreign policy, which led to the undermining of international stability and security.
A clear claim for a second term is unlikely to be accepted by American voters. The same threatens the US leadership in the world, which is already ready to be challenged not only by the countries of the Global South.
