The Chicago Neocons Are Back: The Ghost of Rumsfeld Haunts White House Foreign Relations

 

 The Neocons seem to be in the White House again.  Rumsfeld's ghost appears to be making trouble in foreign policy again, and once again there are "gross break downs in intelligence".


1.  Biden gives Afghanistan back to the Taliban, complete with forcing their expedient invasion of Afghan cities by bombing them in the country-side, reminiscent of Paths of Glory with Kirk Douglas.  

2.  Biden and son court Ukrainian companies and that ends up with the Ukraine being invaded by Russia with the support of Iran.

3.  Biden courts the Sunni country, Saudi Arabia, for oil exports and for softening of their stance against Israel.

4.  Israel, with a "complete failure of intelligence" is invaded by the Sunni Hamas, supposedly armed by Iran.

5.  Hezbollah, supported by Shia-dominated Iran, also fires rockets at Israel.

6.  The USA is now sending a carrier strike group to the Mediterranean.

If there is one person that it seems that you do not want supporting you, it seems to be President Biden, with accolades from Chicago's Barak Obama.  

The ghost of Chicago-born Donald Rumsfeld, the Iraq War Secretary of Defense,  seems to be the one behind the curtain here. 

And who can stop the Neocons now? It does not look like President Trump will be doing that.
