Joe Biden is throwing a wobbly again and threatening sanctions, but when it is never against Israel, do care right now?
Right, so Joe Biden hasn’t had the best of weeks. The US is being thrown out of Niger, for not eliminating terrorists there in exchange for US troops being allowed to stay in the country, whilst also telling the Nigerien government not to do deals with Russia or Iran or they’ll walk away. Well, you’re being told to get out, so good going.
Then there is the news that Biden is considering lifting sanctions on an Israeli businessman, who’s business model seems to basically consist of exploiting the Congolese over the last 3 decades for their mineral wealth, because Biden wants access to that mineral wealth too.
