Biden proves America is for Bibi, NOT for the Americans
The below article, from Alkhanadeq, gives us rare insight into the strong and unbending ties between US politicians and the Israel lobby AIPAC.
The below article gives us rare insight into the strong and unbending ties between US politicians and the Israel lobby AIPAC. It appears that Biden doesn’t dare exert real pressure on Israel to stop the war crimes that it perpetrates in full view of the entire world. Even if it means Biden loses the election. Even if it means the Israeli economy collapses. He is willing to commit hara kiri for Netanyahu. Very touching!
Trump is equally bound to do his masters’ bidding in Tel Aviv. He cut Palestinian funding and starved whole families for Bibi, killed war hero and ISIS fighter Soleimani for Bibi, made Jerusalem the capital of Israel.
All for Bibi.
The US is NOT sovereign, NOT a government of the people, by the people and for the people, NOT independent and not American. It is bound and beholden to a foreign lobby and foreign interests.
US presidents will even allow Israel to destroy itself just to show their loyalty to Bibi.
But is that really loyalty?
Or is it nihilism?

Washington strikes against its interests: How is the economy affected by tensions in the region?
Tensions in the Middle East
A credit rating agency announced that it would lower Israel's rating if the war expanded to include other fronts. This is among the broad economic repercussions caused by tensions in the Middle East and on many levels. While international investors are monitoring the oil market and supply chains, Washington is preparing for greater involvement in military operations after its officials announced the decision to respond to the strike that targeted their forces in Jordan. On the other hand, the calculations of the US administration, which is looking to renew its presidency, are based on a key fact: maintaining the stability of the financial and energy markets.
Over the past decades, political-military crises in the Middle East have been a major cause of global economic crises, some of which have continued for years. This matter has become relevant to any calculations in the region. It is precisely on this basis that Western governments have developed their projects, and because of it they have created military crises many times, and distanced themselves from them other times.
Today, as a result of the internal crises that Western governments are witnessing as a result of the war in Ukraine, which was the first and most affected, in addition to the American calculations in the various parties and those aspiring to reach the White House, the timing of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip came in contradiction to Western desire, as its interests are affected, successively and at different levels.
US Central Bank Chairman Jay Powell points out that the US Federal Reserve is closely monitoring the conflict in the Middle East and the Red Sea, fearing that “geopolitical tensions” could pose important risks to global economic activity, adding that “the Middle East has become a wild card for the economy.” "Globally, investors are watching [natural] gas prices rise, which could lead to higher inflation and disrupt central banks' efforts to lower prices."
While MUFG Bank emphasized in a research note issued by it, that the disruptions are unlikely to have sustainable repercussions on energy (crude oil and LNG) and broader commodity prices on a first-class basis, because the rerouting of ships disrupts global supply chains, not volumetric production. Which should not be directly affected.”
Western and American officials view the attacks launched by the Yemeni armed forces in the Red Sea as “the most dangerous.” While the American-British escalation in that region led to “the largest diversion of international trade in decades and the suspension of the passage of the five largest container lines in the world, which are responsible for transporting 65% of global shipping capacity. Traffic decreased by about 39% since the beginning of December, which led to a 45% drop in freight tonnage, according to figures from the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD).
The International Energy Agency also warned of volatile gas prices this year, as conflict in the Middle East and Ukraine creates an “unusually wide range of uncertainty.” The Western energy watchdog, for its part, said in its quarterly report that geopolitical issues such as the war in Ukraine, rising tensions in the Middle East, shipping disruptions and potential delays to the start-up of new liquefied natural gas terminals “all represent risks to the current outlook, which could fuel price volatility.” Until 2024.”
In view of this scene, the United States stands in a narrow category of options. The decision to stop the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip is primarily in its hands, and it has also become an American necessity after the high cost of its extremist intervention alongside the occupying entity in the region. Although the Yemeni attacks did not target any neutral ships, the global economy is fragile and vulnerable to damage, and any escalation on any of the fronts will make matters worse. [This unique situation puts Yemen in a key position. It knows that in this election year, no president will be foolish enough to expand the war. Thus Biden will restrict himself to limited strikes, giving the Houthis the latitude to threaten Israeli trade as a weapon to slow or stop the genocide. Already, Israel’s economic indicators are falling So far, the Houthis have the genocidal West by the short hairs]

The Russian Armed Forces hit drone assembly shops in Dnepropetrovsk, underground fighters reported
DONETSK, February 23 – RIA Novosti. On the night of February 23, Russian units attacked an oil depot, Ukrainian Armed Forces warehouses and workshops of the Southern Engineering Plant in, Sergei Lebedev, coordinator of the Nikolaev underground, told RIA Novosti.
"
“Residents of Dnepropetrovsk report several arrivals. In the photo you see the consequences of hitting an oil depot, a place called “Stan 550”, this is rolling shop No. 2 of the private joint-stock company “Dneprovsky Metallurgical Plant,” the agency’s interlocutor said.
According to the agents, there were large tanks with fuel and lubricants in this place.
Lebedev also provided photographs showing a large plume of black smoke after hitting the oil depot. Earlier on Friday, Ukrainian media reported that at one of the Dnipropetrovsk enterprises, fuel tanks caught fire after the strike.
"
“They are reporting that they hit the Southern Machine-Building Plant, in those workshops they were manufacturing new unmanned aerial vehicles,” added the underground coordinator.
The Southern Machine-Building Plant named after A. M. Makarov is a strategic enterprise that produces rocket and space technology. In particular, Zenit launch vehicles were created there until 2014.
The underground fighter noted that Russian troops also hit several warehouses on Karuna Street, which were occupied by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. At the same time, one of the missiles of the Ukrainian air defense system, in pursuit of the Geran drone, hit a multi-story building, as reported by residents of neighboring houses. As a result, the block was cordoned off, and SBU officers took signatures from citizens not to disclose what they saw, Lebedev concluded.

The Russian Armed Forces dropped a bomb weighing 1,500 kilograms on the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Chasov Yar

The Russian Armed Forces launched a bomb weighing 1,500 kilograms at the Ukrainian Armed Forces, RG reports.
The Russian Aerospace Forces hit the Ukrainian base in Chasov Yar with an ODAB thermobaric bomb. Her weight is 1500 kilograms. Rossiyskaya Gazeta reports this.
“A bomb weighing one and a half tons arrived at the temporary deployment point of Ukrainian troops,” Rossiyskaya Gazeta journalists report, referring to the Iznanka telegram channel. A thermobaric bomb operates on the principle of a small tactical nuclear bomb, only without radiation damage. The projectile sprays a gas cloud, which then explodes. It is noted that such a bomb works effectively both in open areas and against obstacles.
Russian soldiers continue to attack the Ukrainian Armed Forces in various directions of the front. In particular, they continue the offensive in the direction of Chasy Yar (Artyomovsk direction).

Muslims are not terrorists by nature. The CIA created Al-Qaeda and ISIS and then continued to bomb their countrymen. And now it can no longer control them.

STOP saying the Houthis are terrorists. The REAL terrorists are the US and Israel, who are committing genocide.
The Houthis are the ones trying to STOP the genocide. In fact, they’re the only ones doing effective work to that end. Their blockade is working!
Thanks for sharing China Writers' Group Visual Editor, Magnus S. Kjærgaard, Don!
He is a real treasure trove.
