Shafaq News/ The President of the United States of America, Joe Biden, confirmed that the combat missions of the American forces within the international coalition against ISIS in Iraq have ended.

Thank you & Absolutely correct...AND they've admitted to it. " The Liberal World Order " is that obvious enough for everyone !!

...aside from Slo Joe's ramblings & just plain running his mouth about the transformation or transition we're going through, God willing we'll come through this blah blah blah...

What's worse the Republicans who care so much about us seemingly do nothing but complain. This man and the folks behind the curtain are systematically tearing down the country. Doesn't this qualify as treason or am I being an alarmist or worse, a conspiracy theorist???

Certainly praying for a miracle 🙏 that in spite of what we read they do come out with a legitimate globally recognized IQD.

You'd have to be a brainwashed marching in lockstep with an IQ of a boiled potato Lefty to believe Biden & Harris are top drawer on their game politicians.

The Left has done a brilliant job the last 100 years of infiltrating K-12 and all the institutions of " Higher Learning " to produce an army of drones.

Good thing My folks had me read such subversive works like Brave New World, Animal Farm, Atlas Shrugged, the Federalist Papers, Fahrenheit 451...to name but a smidgen of interesting books.

With Iraq's membership, a politician reveals Saudi efforts to announce an "Arab NATO" in Biden's visit

 2022-07-12 00:52

 

Shafaq News/ The politician Amer Abdul-Jabbar Ismail said on Tuesday that Saudi Arabia is seeking to announce the formation of an "Arab NATO" that includes Iraq in its membership, during the visit of the President of the United States of America to Riyadh in mid-July.

Ismail asked, in a tweet to him on the social networking sites "Twitter", saying: Will the Arab NATO be announced when Biden visits Saudi Arabia in the middle of this month of July, given the presence of Iraq in this summit? ?

The Iraqi politician, who held several positions in the state, alluded to the conclusion of unnamed Iraqi "parties" with "under the table agreements with (the stakeholders) to be part of this NATO in exchange for their assistance and marketing regionally to show them the appearance of real leaders, and push for dismantling the current situation and ending the political blockage" in country.

American Newspaper: Biden's Visit Will Be In Pursuit Of Oil And Hegemony In The Region

 

12/07/2022 | 4:16 PM

The information/translation…
A report by the American Los Angeles Times newspaper confirmed, on Tuesday, that US President Joe Biden’s upcoming visit to the Israeli entity and Saudi Arabia will be in pursuit of oil and hegemony in the Middle East and dealing with the Saudi regime, after he promised in his election campaign to make it a pariah.
Biden's trip to the region will be the most complex and controversial during his presidency, as Biden's willingness to suspend his condemnation of Saudi leaders and mend relations is widely seen as a product of his need to confront high energy prices at home. The price of a gallon of gas, on average, has risen to just under $4.70 this week and inflation has soared to a record high, so concerns about inflation and the economy are high on the minds of voters heading into November's midterm elections, which forecasts are going to be devastating. for the Democrats.”
For his part, the senior State Department official for Middle East affairs in the Trump administration, David Schenker, said, “What Biden will do is a victory for pragmatism over the principles of the president, as he is exposed to loss with the rise in oil prices, and a recession is looming on the horizon.”
The report added that Biden, US diplomats, lawmakers and human rights advocates are particularly critical of Saudi Arabia for its role in the 2018 killing of US-based Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. US intelligence agencies have concluded that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia, issued the order. By killing him, he is also behind some of Saudi Arabia's most controversial authoritarian policies, including the prosecution of the brutal war in Yemen that has led to bombings and starvation of tens of thousands of civilians, the kidnapping and torture of Lebanon's prime minister to make him obey the Saudi line and the imprisonment of thousands of opponents including minorities. religious and activist.
He continued, "Biden's decision to meet bin Salman during the Saudi phase of his trip sparked protests from members of Congress from political parties, press associations, human rights defenders and Saudi opponents."
And he continued, “Both Israel and Saudi Arabia, which do not officially have diplomatic relations and oppose US efforts to revive the Iran nuclear deal, will use their meetings with Biden to pressure him to abandon efforts to revive the deal.” Talks with Iran, led by the other signatories to the agreement, including the European Union, China and Russia, have not yet reached a conclusion.
Khaled El-Gendy, head of the Israeli-Palestinian Affairs Program at the Middle East Institute, said, “Iran will loom very large about this visit, and thus it will allow Biden to work towards a better integration of Israel into the security structure of the region, as most countries did not recognize the existence of this entity until recently.” finished/ 25 z

Nope. True Americans that believe in the Constitution will actually rise up but then again that is what those on the far alt-left want the True Americans to do and have been setting up for decades now. Right now history in the making is following so closely to what happened before the first Civil War it is not even funny. It took 80 some odd years for the development of the first one and we are on 150 plus odd years for the second one. The push from the top down  is forcing the bottom to push up and the middle is getting squeezed out. America is about to change, the winds of war are beginning to pick up.

Well I sure hope he brings enough staffers to help him up from kneeling and kissing the ring of the Saudi prince. His Obama approach of kissing the Saudis a$$ to get more oil might be at this point his only option besides start drilling in the USA….

Biden arrives in Mideast jittery about Iran nuclear program

PUBLISHED: July 13, 2022 at 6:23 a.m. | UPDATED: July 13, 2022 at 6:23 a.m.

By JOSH BOAK, JOSEF FEDERMAN and AAMER MADHANI

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — President Joe Biden arrived in Israel on Wednesday to open the first visit to the Middle East of his presidency, a whirlwind four-day trip in which he will hold talks with Israeli, Palestinian, and Saudi Arabian officials.

Biden will be officially welcomed during a ceremony in Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport and receive a briefing on Israel’s Iron Dome and Iron Beam air defense systems. He’ll later make his way to Jerusalem for a wreath-laying ceremony at Yad Vashem, Israel’s memorial to Holocaust victims in World War II.

Biden is spending two days in Jerusalem for talks with Israeli leaders before meeting Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Friday in the West Bank.

He will then fly directly from Israel to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia — a first for a U.S. president — on Friday for talks with Saudi officials and Gulf allies attending a summit in the port city.

Biden is expected to use the trip to urge the Israelis and Saudis to work closer together amid growing concerns about Iran’s nuclear program. He’ll also look to press the Saudis and other oil-producing Gulf allies to pump more oil as drivers around the world are feeling the pinch of elevated gas and food prices in the aftermath of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — Joe Biden starts the first visit to the Middle East of his presidency with a monumental task: assuring uneasy Israeli and Saudi Arabian officials that he is committed to preventing Iran from becoming a nuclear power.

Biden begins the visit Wednesday with a three-day stop in Israel, where officials say Iran’s quickly evolving nuclear program is at the top of their agenda for talks with the U.S. president. Biden made reviving the Iran nuclear deal, brokered by Barack Obama in 2015 and abandoned by Donald Trump in 2018, a key priority as he entered office.

But indirect talks for the U.S. to reenter the deal have stalled as Iran has made rapid gains in developing its nuclear program. That’s left the Biden administration increasingly pessimistic about resurrecting the deal, which placed significant restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.

Shortly after his arrival in Israel on Wednesday, Biden is expected to get a briefing on the country’s new “Iron Beam” missile defense system and visit the Yad Vashem, a memorial to Holocaust victims. Besides meetings with Israeli and Palestinian officials, he’s slated to receive Israel’s Presidential Medal of Honor and visit with U.S. athletes taking part in the Maccabiah Games, which involve thousands of Jewish and Israeli athletes from around the globe.

Biden, in a Washington Post op-ed published Saturday, laced into Trump for quitting the nuclear deal that Britain, France, Germany, Russia, China and the European Union also signed onto. But Biden also suggested that he’s still holding onto at least a sliver of hope that the Iranians will come back into compliance.

“My administration will continue to increase diplomatic and economic pressure until Iran is ready to return to compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal, as I remain prepared to do,” he wrote.

Israeli officials, who briefed reporters ahead of Biden’s departure from Washington on Tuesday, said the U.S. and Israel would issue a broad-ranging “Jerusalem Declaration” that will take a tough stance on Iran’s nuclear program.

The declaration commits both countries to use “all elements of their national power against the Iranian nuclear threat,” according to an Israeli official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to preview the statement.

The official said the Israelis would stress to Biden their view that Iran has calculated “time is on their side” and is loath to give any concessions. The Biden administration’s last round of indirect negotiations with Iran in Doha, Qatar, late last month ended without success.

Separately, Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid issued a joint statement on Wednesday announcing the two nations were launching a new strategic high-level dialogue on technology. The partnership is to focus on the use of emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence and other tech-based solutions, to take on global challenges such as pandemic preparedness and climate change.

The White House has also been frustrated with repeated Iran-sponsored attacks on U.S. troops based in Iraq, though the administration says the frequency of such attacks has dropped precipitously over the last two years. Tehran also sponsored the rebel Houthis in a bloody war with the Saudis in Yemen. A U.N.-brokered cease-fire has been in place for more than four months, a fragile peace in a war that began in 2015.

Separately, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan on Monday said the administration believes Russia is turning to Iran to provide it with hundreds of unmanned aerial vehicles, including weapons-capable drones, for use in its ongoing war in Ukraine.

The Saudis, like the Israelis, have been frustrated that the White House has not abandoned efforts to revive the nuclear deal with Tehran. Biden heads to the Saudi port city of Jeddah on Friday to meet with King Salman and the Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who is widely known by his initials MBS, and to attend a gathering of the Gulf Cooperation Council, where Iran’s nuclear program is on the agenda.

Also looming over the Saudi visit is the president’s strained relationship with the crown prince.

As a White House candidate, Biden, a Democrat, said he would look to make the kingdom a “pariah” nation over its human rights abuses. The relationship was further strained when Biden last year approved the release of a U.S. intelligence report that determined that MBS likely approved the 2018 killing of U.S.-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

The president will arrive in Saudi Arabia, among the world’s biggest oil producers, at a moment of skyrocketing gas and food prices around the globe — driven, in part, by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. White House officials and energy analysts say there are low expectations that the Saudis or fellow members of OPEC+ will deliver relief.

Another factor in seeking a détente in the Saudi relationship is growing concern in the administration that the Saudis could move closer to China and Russia amid strains with the United States.

Aaron David Miller, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and former U.S. State Department official, said Biden is looking forward to visiting Saudi Arabia “like I would look forward to a root canal operation.”

“You’ve got a president who is terribly conflicted about this meeting,” Miller said. “He can’t even acknowledge, in all of his public remarks, that he’s even going to meet with Mohammed bin Salman.”

But Israeli officials are cautiously optimistic that the Biden visit could be a breakthrough moment on a slow path toward normalizing relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia. Biden will be the first U.S. president to travel directly from Israel to Saudi Arabia, and the two nations’ shared enmity for Iran has led to subtle cooperation.

Earlier this week, opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu praised the crown prince’s “contribution” to the Abraham Accords, declarations of diplomatic and economic normalization signed by Bahrain, Israel, the United Arab Emirates and the United States while Netanyahu was prime minister.

Israel is expected to hold new elections in the fall after the fragile coalition government led by Naftali Bennett crumbled last month.
