Biden-the-Barbarian: Israel to Defend Against "Existential Threats'
Jim Kirwan
Israel is not a sovereign nation, since it imposed itself on Palestine, it has been unable to do vanquish the Palestinian people - to the point that it has no "secure borders." Ergo 'Israel is not and has never been' a sovereign state!
In addition, while the US has used pre-emptive strikes repeatedly, beginning with our first war against Mexico, the international community has outlawed the practice in the Rules of War and the Geneva Conventions. Moreover, Biden-the -Barbarian has no standing to speak as he did on Sunday: There is no inherited right to behave as Dick Cheney did, before him. In fact one of the basic reasons for the failures of the last eight years was Cheney's management of the Office of the vice-residency: something that Obama-Biden were "selected" to end. Yet here he is; sounding exactly like Cheney and speaking to things that are totally and incontrovertibly illegal - simply because the unfinished state of turmoil that is Zionist Israel, is demanding "rights" that no other nation (including this one) actually has!
Biden Suggests U.S. Won’t Stop Israeli Attack on Iran
Vice-President Joe Biden has said the U.S. wouldn’t prevent Israel from attacking Iran if the Israeli government decides it’s an existential threat. Biden made the comment during an interview with ABC News host George Stephanopoulos.
Vice-President Joe Biden: “If the Netanyahu government decides to take a course of action different than the one being pursued now, that is their sovereign right to do that. That is not our choice.”
George Stephanopoulos: “But just to be clear here, if the Israelis decide Iran is an existential threat, they have to take out the nuclear program, militarily the United States will not stand in the way?”
Vice-President Biden: “Look, we cannot dictate to another sovereign nation what they can and cannot do when they make a determination, if they make a determination that they’re existentially threatened and their survival is threatened by another country.”
George Stephanopoulos: “You say we can’t dictate, but we can, if we choose to, deny over-flight rights here in Iraq. We can stand in the way of a military strike.”
Vice-President Biden: “I’m not going to speculate, George, on those issues, other than to say Israel has a right to determine what’s in its interests, and we have a right and we will determine what’s in our interests.”
Biden spoke during a visit to Iraq, where on Friday he was greeted by hundreds of Iraqi protesters in Baghdad calling for an end to the U.S. occupation.
