Biden will do nothing
You seem to be ill informed, he’s going to wag his finger so hard it’ll give off a light breeze.
Not if Blinken continues to provide inconclusive reports. POTUS makes international diplomacy decisions based on intelligence provided by the State Department. It’s not based the President’s opinion, US citizens, news, the UN, the ICC, or the ICJ, but state intelligence. Biden needs to put pressure on Blinken to provide a thorough and conclusive report, or replace him with someone who will.
State Dept intelligence might influence POTUS’ decisions, but it isn’t the only factor.
It isn’t. It’s just the most heavily weighed piece of intelligence in the Executive Branch. The Legislative Branch is the other factor, and Congress voted in favor of legislation for munitions supply.
I’m fairly certain the fact that Biden has received more Israeli political donations than any other United States politician in history has more influence of potus than the state department
Blinken is releasing the reports thr president wants released. The actual intelligence is provided in classified reports provided to the president and some members of Congress. What gets made public is a policy decision that flows down from the top.
That does not change if the report is conclusive or inconclusive, nor does it change the content within. It only limits what can and cannot be shared with the public.
It’s like those 35,000+ so far don’t count. Let’s start with dozens.
Listening to Kirby yesterday was enraging. “Israel said that they are doing everything in their power to limit civilian casualties in their Rafah operations, and we have no reason not to take them at their word”
Really? Because have they ever bothered to limit civilian casualties so far? Media kept re-probing him to see if he would give any sympathetic response, instead he dug in, got annoyed that they were asking similar questions and reiterated how he doesn’t think the Israelis did anything bad. Biden should fire Kirby just for his complete lack to tact.
The new strategy of Israel is to attack refugee camps so often that we dont know if its new attacks or late news…
The only way to distinguish them is by the number of dead civilians
Did I hear something about a metaphorical red line?
Really starting to think that if USS Liberty happened again, Biden still would not change anything despite not being able to cover it up like LBJ due to the modern age of media and internet.
