Policies toward Russia, Iran & Israel are "concerning"

Post by dan_s »

I am personally very concerned over the recent shift in our foreign policy. The hard stance against Russia and a softening of sanctions against Iran increases the geopolitical risk in the Middle East. I believe that Israel will not stand by and allow Iran to get weapons grade uranium. In my opinion, the U.S. cannot afford another senseless war. Pissing off Vladimir Putin with these new sanctions makes no sense to me.

Update on Iran's nuclear program is frightening

Joe Biden’s foreign policy seems to be making the world less stable. Biden is calling on Vladimir Putin to lower tension with the U.S. after calling the Russian president a killer. Joe Biden said, “words matter” when you are president. The Biden administration then put several sanctions that named 32 Russian individuals and entities for their roles in attempting to influence the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Biden is sending the wrong message.

Biden’s embracing of Iran and trying to get it to rejoin the 2015 nuclear accord will not stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. The Wall Street Journal reports that, “Iranian officials have said they want all the Trump-era sanctions removed before it returns to comply with the nuclear deal. “Anything imposed by the Trump administration should be lifted,” before Iran makes any concessions, Iranian chief nuclear negotiator Abbas Araghchi said in an interview last week. The Biden administration has said it is willing to lift all sanctions that are “inconsistent” with the nuclear deal, but hasn’t identified those it will leave in place. Biden administration officials have said that they intend to retain some sanctions imposed on human rights, ballistic missile and terrorism grounds, and may impose new ones. They say that the 2015 deal doesn’t preclude such actions, according to the Journal. They meet today, so stay tuned.

Yet, Iran has raised its uranium enrichment. Biden’s embracing of Iran has left our allies in Israel feeling like the U.S. has left them hung out to dry. The situation got so bad that U.S. defense security had to issue a reassuring statement that the U.S. still views Israel as an ally. U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Sunday declared an “enduring and ironclad” American commitment to Israel, reinforcing support at a tense time in Israeli politics and amid questions about the Biden administration’s efforts to revive nuclear negotiations with Israel archenemy, Iran according to AP. You might not know that by the Biden administration actions.

The BBC said Iran will produce 60%-enriched uranium in retaliation for a suspected Israeli attack on a nuclear site, President Hassan Rouhani says, bringing it closer to the purity required for a weapon. A blast knocked out the power system at Natanz on Sunday, causing damage to thousands of uranium centrifuges. Mr. Rouhani warned the perpetrators that enrichment would now be ramped up as a response to “your wickedness.” But he reiterated that Iran’s nuclear activities were “exclusively peaceful.” France, Germany and the UK expressed “grave concern” at the move, saying Iran had “no credible civilian need for enrichment at this level.”

Joe Biden’s policies are raising the risk of a conflict ,and we haven’t even touched on tensions with China. Let’s pray that he gets things under control so the U.S. does not get dragged into an unwanted war.

Agree 100 %.

The real inconvenient truth is Iran is the biggest existential risk to mankind.
Biden doesn't know the time off day, hopefully some of his moonbat handlers can get a clue.
