Spirals Hypnotize You
From the New York Post:
Biden ‘sleepwalking’ into ‘catastrophic war,’ expert says, as Israel mulls retaliation against Iran
President Biden is “sleepwalking” the US into another “catastrophic” war in the Middle East, one expert says, as Israel prepares a retaliatory strike against Iran following an unprecedented drone and missile bombardment over the weekend.
Biden, 81, has been slammed by both supporters of Israel and opponents of the Jewish state for his handling of the six-month-old war between Israel and Iran-backed Hamas terrorists, which threatens to spiral into a wider conflict following Saturday’s assault.
MR. MENGER: Spirals do make you sleepy. They hypnotize you.
CRANKY PETE: I don't think the sleepwalking is necessarily literal here.
The strategy of the Biden administration has failed miserably,” Fawaz Gerges, professor of international relations and Middle Eastern politics at the London School of Economics, told NBC News Sunday.
“His overarching goal of preventing the war in Gaza from escalating into neighboring countries has failed. Biden has failed to influence [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu’s decisions either in Gaza or towards Iran.
Surprise, surprise. It turns out, he can't keep Bibi on a leash. If you recall John Kerry admitting they couldn't control Daesh (aka ISIS) in Syria.
Cranky Pete believes corporate monarchy solves this, and Biden would not be the monarch.
Striking Back the Bibi Way
Here is a clip about the Israeli war cabinet.
MR. MENGER: The subtitle of that video is "Damage Iran, But Do Not Start a War." It's just that precise, just that surgical, as to avoid an all-out war, but to strike back the Bibi way.
CRANKY PETE: And what if they can't control Iran?
MR. MENGER: If you can't control the "good guys" like Daesh in Syria, what control do you have on Iran, your adversary? You can play shell games with the Orange Man, but unlike him, these guys actually read books.
CRANKY PETE: They read more in a war zone than anyone ever did in Trump Tower.
Cranky Pete's favorite part of show is the money.
