Israel: The Biden Administration appears to understand the dynamics and the stakes, but somehow refuses to accept what that actually means in the real world

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

The Secretary of State admitted that Hamas uses their own people as human shields and doesn’t care about their well being, but fails to explain how Israel can minimize civilian casualties when their enemy wants to maximize them, much less how a “humanitarian pause” would do anything except help Hamas itself. “Hamas doesn’t care one… Continue reading Israel: The Biden Administration appears to understand the dynamics and the stakes, but somehow refuses to accept what that actually means in the real world

The world is at war in slow motion, until it isn’t

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

There is a sense of watching some sad tragicomedy unfold, wondering what unexpected and unanticipated catastrophe will happen next, oblivious to the reality that – as at the start of World War I – we might literally be one bullet away from worldwide destruction.  On June 28, 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his… Continue reading The world is at war in slow motion, until it isn’t

Israel: Get ready for the progressive backlash to go mainstream

Christian Twiste3 Comments

The over/under could be as little as a week, when all our claims of unity with Israel go up in the smoke.  Whatever President Biden may say today, he hasn’t the stomach to oppose key members of his party, his movement, and a global government apparatus that has long ago decided Israel is to blame. … Continue reading Israel: Get ready for the progressive backlash to go mainstream

Israel: If not Iran, who funded the attack and why does President Biden refuse to say it?

Christian Twiste2 Comments

To his credit, the President delivered a moving speech on the atrocities, even as some in his own party openly support the Palestinians and believe the slaughter in Israel was justified, but no one in his administration has yet to clearly identify Iran’s pivotal role. “You know, there are moments in this life — and… Continue reading Israel: If not Iran, who funded the attack and why does President Biden refuse to say it?

Biden’s third war in three years makes this the worst foreign policy ever

Christian Twiste2 Comments

At every turn, President Biden has chosen a path that prioritizes talk over action, believing that countries saying they are for something is the same as actually achieving that something, and has failed to deliver actual progress while the world continues to burn. This weekend, President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. completed a tragic trifecta the… Continue reading Biden’s third war in three years makes this the worst foreign policy ever

Iraq: Anyone who doesn’t regret supporting the war is delusional, stupid, or lying

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

The Iraq War was by any definition a failure at all its stated goals, costing far more in blood, treasure, and time than expected, empowering our enemies, and failing to build a stable democracy and long term ally in a worn torn region, but there are some who still insist we should do it all… Continue reading Iraq: Anyone who doesn’t regret supporting the war is delusional, stupid, or lying

Russia isn’t intimidated by either President Biden or the broader free world

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

Continually escalating encounters with the United States military while the war in Ukraine rages on is not the strategy of a country on the verge of accepting defeat, but even a cursory understanding of history should not make that surprising.  A successful foreign policy requires a recognition of reality sorely lacking on all sides of… Continue reading Russia isn’t intimidated by either President Biden or the broader free world

Iran is the real problem in the Middle East and they are testing President Biden

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

The latest round of the long-simmering Israeli-Palestinian conflict is undoubtedly funded and fully approved by Iran.  Hamas receives $100 million per year in money and weaponry from the terrorist state.  They certainly don’t operate autonomously.  Why is next to no one talking about the real driving force behind the violence? The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has exploded,… Continue reading Iran is the real problem in the Middle East and they are testing President Biden

A better, brighter future in the Middle East if Biden can maintain the gains

Christian Twiste1 Comment

Will the Biden-Harris Administration abandon the failed policies of the Obama-Biden Administration and instead build on Trump’s success? We, the undersigned, recognize the importance of maintaining and strengthening peace in the Middle East and around the world based on mutual understanding and coexistence, as well as respect for human dignity and freedom, including religious freedom.”… Continue reading A better, brighter future in the Middle East if Biden can maintain the gains
