For nine months, Biden and Harris have claimed a ceasefire deal was just around the corner. Every single time, though, Sinwar does the same thing. Israel agrees to pretty horrific terms to get its hostages back, and Hamas drops in with a new demand, usually to release even more murderous terrorists. All the while, Democrats continue to blame Netanyahu for not somehow doing enough to get the psychopaths he's negotiating with to follow through. //
What we are seeing is a perfect illustration of the Biden-Harris foreign policy. There's no undergirding principle. There's no ability to wield soft or hard power to ensure the world's worst actors stay in line. It's just a free-for-all of lightweights pursuing "diplomacy," a word that has lost all legitimate meaning under the current administration.
Diplomacy is not a strategy, it is a tactic. It goes hand in hand with leverage garnered through force or the threat of force. When America's enemies do not respect it, then diplomacy is not only ineffective, but it exacerbates dangerous situations. Biden and Harris are weak, and dictators and terrorists know it. They believe they demand outcomes by sheer hubris. That's not how the real world works, something that has become painfully clear over the last four years of continual abject failure on the global stage.
Further, Biden and Harris have shown themselves to be morally bankrupt. They have thrown their lot in with literal terrorist supporters to try to hold together their fragile political coalition. Meanwhile, real consequences have followed.
