A brief comment on the witless foreign policy of President Biden that egresses America’s strategic world economic position deleteriously. Apparently he wants to hold help to Israel hostage to providing 60 billion dollars more for weapons, cash discretion etc to Ukraine. Forty billion for Israeli and sixty billion for Ukraine; a nice even number of 100 billion dollars to add to the U.S. public debt. It will increase inflation domestically and increase interest payments of the national debt.
Poor Americans might enjoy a 60 billion dollar Christmas gift from the U.S. Treasury. That aside, if spending 60 billion on foreign affairs Africa would be a better investment. Buying a few billion dollars of solar panels from China to improve rural African life. A few billion more on incinolet electric toilets running on solar power to improve rural African sanitation and conserve water for agriculture, and one would need to think about how to spend another 30 or 40 billion remaining from the 60. With no strings attached the U.S.A. would get some respect in Africa and better influence policy later.
Israel of course probably doesn’t need 40 billion dollars to improve security. Twenty billion is probably plenty yet of course the President wants that sixty billion for Ukraine so Israel needs to be the get the remainder of 100 billion for a plausible marketing pitch. Is Ukraine blackmailing the President over some Hunter Biden misadventure in Ukraine?
President Biden keeps degrading America’s international position and reinforcing the division of the planet’s political economy in two camps. Which one is Camp Runamuck is yet to be determined. The best policy is to end the Ukraine war directly with national sovereignty being given to where Russian and Ukraine military forces are now and immediately invest in rebuilding both sides and restoring full economic ties without recriminations to either side. Find peace, move on and get over the hillbilly errors compounding from the past.
