President Biden has a weapons supply problem. In 20 months of the Russo Ukraine war, also US proxy war on Russia, he\u2019s blown $113 billion in US treasure desperately needed by the Homeland, National health care, infrastructure, clean energy, border security, migrant aid relief, education, crime reduction among other issues, go wanting.<\/p>\n
The repetitive requests for more, more, more are weighing on Americans who increasingly see it as the boondoggle for the weapons makers it is. While congressional Democrats completely support is Biden\u2019s spending spree, a small Republican House contingent is pushing back, sensing public disgust with Biden\u2019s giveaways as a means of defeating him next year. They\u2019re holding up current spending requests with both their opposition and current legislative paralysis due to the vacant Speaker\u2019s chair.<\/p>\n

But no fool Biden senses this Republican opposition can be neutered by combining his weapons aid for Ukraine with that for Taiwan and now Israel, both countries of which are favored by the anti-Ukraine Republican claque.<\/p>\n
All three countries earmarked for endless weapons deserve US attention.<\/p>\n
We should be negotiating an end to the Russo Ukraine war instead of sabotaging every diplomatic effort that could have ended it in the first 2 months. We blew an easy opportunity to save 400,000 Ukrainian lives simply to weaken Russia. Nuclear confrontation with Russia looms.<\/p>\n
We need to go back to a One China policy that kept Chinese reunification with Taiwan on the back burner for 50 years till first Trump, then Biden, blew it to smithereens. Some military leaders fear we\u2019ll be at war with China by 2025.<\/p>\n
We need to be a broker for peace between Israel and Gaza Palestinians, not a weapons supplier and cheerleader for massive bombing and destruction of Gaza to avenge Hamas\u2019 recent attack. Israel, the dominant military power in the Middle East, needs not a single US weapon to prevent further Hamas attacks. They just need better intelligence. Conversely, US support for the current bombing and impending invasion puts every remaining hostage, including Americans, at risk of imminent death.<\/p>\n
Too early to determine if Biden\u2019s proposed Ukraine, Taiwan, Israel weapons trifecta will overcome taxpayer and Republican opposition. If it does, it\u2019s the weapons makers and perpetual war promoters that will hit the Trifecta. Everyone else will lose\u2026.and thousands will die.<\/p>\n
