The thing that kills me is that Bibi did this to Obama when he was president, in an attempt to blow up the Iran nuclear deal.
And Obama just took it.
Biden was the VP for fucks sake when it happened. He doesn’t remember that?
None of his advisors from his VP days remember that?
They’re just going to let this happen?

They’re counting on it. “We have no choice, he backed us into a corner!”
He doesn’t remember that?
No
Biden and remembering things is as rare as United States and not selling weapons.

This is what West Wing brain gets you. The behind the scenes report about Biden was that he said he was going to help Israel without any consideration for how it would hurt his approval ratings, or whether Netanyahu would even show gratitude, because it was The Right Thing to Do ™. He probably pictured himself as Jed Bartlett and came his slacks while saying that, and now he’s finally in a refractory period, sitting in the mess he’s made on himself.
Biden’s far too old to have ever seen The West Wing. That’s an Obama staffer thing. But he for sure is huffing the same civil religion that Andy Sorkin was cooking.
Mr president sir have you seen the West Wing
you bet fat, I was here when we built it!Biden is old enough that he’s one of the people who codified aspects of the civil religion unironically.
I remember him doing a sketch with Julia Louis Dreyfus as Selina Meyer. I wonder who he thought she was in his head.
lmao why, do they not know what’s gonna happen? bibi’s going to get up there and bitch and moan that there’s still money that the US isn’t giving Israel and that other countries have said some very very mean things about the genocide they’re doing
I think they’re only worried about the protest, I’ve been hearing it could be bigger than any of the DC protests since last October
You’re literally the white house lol. The home of the most powerful person, so they say. You can literally just tell Netanyahu to fuck off or shoot down his plane
hence the idiot plot reference

JFC he’s addressing Congress?
Like read the room, dummies. What the fuck does he need to address Congress for?
It’s so cool that I used to read about Imperial Japan being sucked into an unwinnable forever war because it wasn’t politically expedient to put it’s foot down against its own colonial gendarmes and now I get to watch the US do the same in real time.
history rhymes :)
“history doesn’t repeat but it rhymes” is honestly one of my favourite phrases bc of how concisely it encapsulates the dialectical materialist critique of metaphysical/cyclical models of history.
Indeed, there are similar trends, but there’s also the dialectic at play where a new synthesis constantly emerges. It’s just just the same thing repeating over and over.
is this ww2?
What is this, a wedding where the hammered father of the bride is about to give a speech?
Is this a common thing? Foreign leaders just get to give special speeches in front of other countries’ legislative bodies?
When is Xi going to address Congress
He addressed Australian parliament once so I guess the US Congress just isn’t on his radar
Maybe they should try and take out their source of anxiety
