Teetering On The Brink

The Afghan Taliban – you know, the Islamofascist terror group the Biden administration ceded Afghanistan to after 20-plus years of freedom for its people, leaving billions in military assets behind – has asked permission from Iran, Iraq, and Jordan to transverse their sovereign land to joining the terrorist action against Israel. If you are surprised at this development you are a blithering idiot.

Additionally, this request – and the unprovoked attack on the Israeli people – comes after the Biden administration released $6 billion to the chief state sponsor of terrorism in the world, Iran, an archenemy of Israel.

To say that the world is teetering on the brink is a grotesque understatement only worthy of fools and grifting politicians.

To Recap

According to Dominic Moore at Spangld.com:

“Hamas terrorists launched a massive surprise attack on civilian areas across Southern Israel on Saturday, with reports of mass casualties, kidnappings of Israeli civilians, and rocket attacks…

“Approximately 22 Israeli communities near the Gaza Strip were targeted by dozens of terrorists who murdered any civilian they could find and seized several civilians and soldiers as hostages in an attack of unprecedented scale during the major Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah. Thousands of rockets have rained down on Israeli cities and towns.

“Bodies lay strewn across the streets of multiple Israeli towns and cities as Hamas terrorists raided civilians’ homes door-to-door in search of new victims. Many commentators have called the massive surprise attack targeting civilians ‘Israel’s 9/11.’

“Hamas claimed to have seized dozens of captives, including senior Israeli military officials. The Israeli Defense Forces have confirmed that soldiers and civilians – including women, the elderly, and small children – were being held captive in the Gaza Strip…”

A short time after the launch of the attacks, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated publicly that Israel was “at war.” Sunday, the Israeli government formally declared war against Hamas and its allies green-lighting “significant military steps” in response.

As of this writing, the initial tally of casualties in Hamas’ act of war counts over 700 killed and at least 2,000 more wounded. Also in the mix are scores of hostages, some suspected of being American.

Additionally, the violence has already started to bleed over Israel’s borders. At least two Israeli tourists and an Egyptian tour guide were killed after a policeman opened fire on a group of tourists in Alexandria. Egyptian security sources confirmed that the suspected gunman was a police officer.

The Biden Administration’s Response

Initially, the hardcore globalists and pro-Palestinian factions inside the Biden administration expected the Israelis to take the terrorist punch in stride. Jason Cohen of The Daily Caller writes:

“The Biden administration’s US Office of Palestinian Affairs deleted a post telling Israel not to retaliate after a massive attack by Islamist group Hamas at daybreak on Saturday, according to multiple reports…

“The [office] posted a message to X…calling for ‘all sides to refrain’ from violent retaliation before deleting it…

“‘We unequivocally condemn the attack of Hamas terrorists and the loss of life that has incurred,’ the deleted post stated. ‘We urge all sides to refrain from violence and retaliatory attacks. Terror and violence solve nothing.’”

State Department Spokesman Matthew Miller later contradicted the initial post saying, “This tweet was not approved and does not represent US policy,” indicating the dysfuntionality of the administration in this time of crisis.

Almost a full two days after the initial attacks, the Pentagon released a statement describing initial military actions taken by the United States and that the US stands steadfast with the nation of Israel and the Israeli people:

“I have directed the movement of the USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group to the Eastern Mediterranean…We have also taken steps to augment US Air Force F-35, F-15, F-16, and A-10 fighter aircraft squadrons in the region…

“In addition, the United States government will be rapidly providing the Israel Defense Forces with additional equipment and resources, including munitions. The first security assistance will begin moving today and arriving in the coming days.

“Strengthening our joint force posture, in addition to the material support that we will rapidly provide to Israel, underscores the United States’ ironclad support for the Israel Defense Forces and the Israeli people…”

Going Forward, Gingerly…

Traditionally, Hamas has been predominantly a nuisance, launching rockets into Israel intermittently in demonstrations of continued existence. This is not the case in the current situation.

With the use of over 5,000 rockets in the initial attack, Hezbollah (Iran’s proxy)  exchanging gunfire with IDF forces and targeted Israeli infrastructure in the north, al Aqsa Martyr’s Brigade and Palestinian Islamic Jihad aligned and joined with Hamas on the battlefield, and the Taliban seeking to cross international borders to join the terrorist effort, this is not a nuisance act. It is a long-planned, concerted act of war on the State of Israel.

If that were a singular situation, modest support from the West would enable Israel to crush the threat from the terror syndicate. But while the situation is separate, it joins with the military chaos in Ukraine to create a very unstable hemisphere complete with global implications.

With China, North Korea, and Iran aligned with Russia in their conflict with Ukraine, Europe, and the West, there is a strong possibility that the same neo-Axis powers will align against Israel in its conflict with Hamas and the rest of the terror syndicate. Should this happen, the seeds are in place to be sown for a global conflict and one the West is in no position to win given the opportunistically ideological and Woke leadership currently in place in Western government.

With the possibility of this very dangerous Sword of Damocles hanging over our planet, the people of the free world – Europeans and Americans specifically – must start taking the election of their leaders much more seriously; they must start voting beyond their preferred parties and start electing those who actually have the best interests of the whole of the American people; the whole of the free world first and foremost in their efforts, not while just in front of the cameras, but always.

Freedom and the preservation of freedom for our sovereign nations and for the whole of the world’s population – should the seeds of global conflict be sown – are hanging in the balance. Statesmen can help avoid the planting of those seeds, but should those seeds begin to bear an evil fruit we need strong, brilliant, and decisive leaders not agenda-pushing elitists who grift the system for their own power-hungry desires.

We are at a critical point. It’s time to dispense with elitist and dysfunctional ideologues who insist on transformative agendas. It is time to choose wisely lest we be, as Reagan warned, “thrust into a thousand years of darkness.”
