As Biden coughed and slurred his way through his “foreign policy” speech on Thursday evening, it was apparent that it was meant to do four things…

First, it was meant to display a “toughness” of the presidency and the United States. It did not. Old man Biden portrays weakness no matter how angry he looks or how many times he shakes his fist. And you can’t simultaneously support Israel’s destruction of Hamas and continue to “aid” the people who elected them. As Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has said, “Not all of them are Hamas (Palestinians) but they are all antisemitic. None of them believe in Israel’s right to exist.” That goes against supporting Israel.

Second, Biden and friends want to tie aid to Ukraine with aid to Israel. These are two separate things and should be voted on separately. All of a sudden, we’re supposed to accept that if we want to help Israel, we have to continue to send billions to Ukraine?! And that’s if the House ever takes up legislation again.

The third goal of Biden’s speech was to mess with Republicans by saying that he’s sending a large foreign aid proposal to Congress knowing full well that it will probably sit there for a while. That way, the Democrats can start blaming Republicans for not supporting Israel and accuse them of making our own country less safe.

Fourth, Biden wanted to try to show his pro-Palestinian voters that he’s still with them. He knows that a large part of his Democrat base is antisemitic, especially the liberal students in universities and colleges. So he says things like, “To all you hurting, I want you to know I see you. You belong” and he makes sure they know he’s sending the Palestinians aid and calls those in the Gaza victims.

Biden isn’t picking a side in the conflict. He’s picking both sides. And throwing politics in the mix as well. That isn’t leadership. Or safe for the United States.
