- This is the equivalent of Roosevelt threatening Churchill with ending Lend-Lease unless Churchill agrees to both a ceasefire with Hitler and the reconstruction of Europe....in 1941.The Biden administration sent a letter to Israeli leaders on Monday demanding Israel take steps within 30 days to improve the dire humanitarian conditions in Gaza or risk the supply of U.S. weapons to Israel being affected .My report on @axios axios.com/2024/10/15/us-…
- “We shall de-escalate on the beaches, we shall de-escalate on the landing grounds, we shall de-escalate in the fields and in the streets, we shall de-escalate in the hills; we shall never not deescalate.”Blinken is the biggest schmuck who's ever been Secretary of State. Worse than Kerry. This is moronic on its face and moronic strategically. If there's one thing that will get you more escalation, it is begging Iran not to escalate. Blinken is putting a "kick me" sign on America's
- This attempted exegesis of the Biden Administration’s wizardry actually reveals the opposite. To paraphrase Churchill, never is the field of human conflict has so much bad advice been given so frequently with such terrible results.In the year since October 7, the Biden administration has managed to prevent escalation of a regional war in the Middle East, @FranklinFoer reports—but it's failed to secure the release of Israeli hostages or end the fighting in Gaza: theatlantic.com/international/…
- “Lest anyone be confused, we reiterate that our efforts remain solely focused on helping Hamas survive. Our policy remains that our military has nothing to do with war.”CENTCOM Statement Regarding IDF Rescue Operations Today The humanitarian pier facility, including its equipment, personnel, and assets were not used in the operation to rescue hostages today in Gaza. An area south of the facility was used by the Israelis to safely return the
- As others begin to step up, the US steps back: the US is the only NATO member whose defense spending as a percentage of GDP has declined this past decade.🚨 The 2024 NATO estimate of member defence spending has been published in full. The following 23 countries are spending at least 2% of GDP on defence: 🇵🇱 Poland - 4.32% 🇪🇪 Estonia - 3.43% 🇺🇸 United States - 3.38% 🇱🇻 Latvia - 3.15% 🇬🇷 Greece - 3.08% 🇱🇹 Lithuania - 2.85% 🇫🇮
- “You ask, what is our policy? I will say: It is to deescalate, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to deescalate against a monstrous tyranny never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is ourBiden: "Our aim is to de-escalate the conflicts in both Gaza and Lebanon through diplomatic means. It is time to close the Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal and the Lebanon ceasefire, for the threats to Israel to be removed & for the broader region to gain greater stability"
- Qatar-based Hamas leaders should be sent to Guantanamo Bay, not exile in Turkey. My latest in the @WashTimes

- After Pearl Harbor and 9/11, no one asked us about a ceasefire. Calling for a ceasefire, instead of hostage release and unconditional victory, creates a false equivalence between Israel & Hamas. My full remarks affirming Israel’s right to defend itself: youtube.com/watch?v=P2hmR1…
- Replying to @GabeScheinmannLast week, I was in London for the launch of I Am André: German Jew, French Resistance Fighter, British Spy, published by @chiselbury and @sleasor. The book, written by our family friend and extraordinary author and researcher Diana Mara Henry, was three decades in the making and
- Replying to @GabeScheinmann“Freedom of mind and physical freedom are a must, yet only when we lose them do we value them. No matter what the odds, these are worth fighting for. Even if the fight seems impossible to win, one must never, never give up. This is why so many women and men went to the ends of
- Replying to @GabeScheinmannI was 15 when my grandfather passed away, and only in the last decade of his life did he begin sharing his war experience and service. Until then, I only knew my grandfather, well, as my grandfather. He would treat us, charm us, and never ever complain about the physical pain he
- Replying to @GabeScheinmannAfter the war, he married my grandmother, Claire, who had her own war service to be proud of. Born in Russia/Poland–the border changed the year she was born–she emigrated to Britain before the outbreak of war. In 1942, she enlisted in the WAAF (Women’s Auxiliary Air Force).
