Just four weeks ago United States President Joe Biden handed the biggest sponsor of global terrorism six billion US dollars in exchange for five hostages held in Tehran and left an open door to renew negotiations on a revised nuclear agreement. That’s right, a nuclear agreement with the nation planning to wipe Israel off the map. It’s not that this one incident led to a multifaceted, Iranian-coordinated terrorist war on Israel, it’s the pattern of weakness in a world that has and always will respect unequivocal strength.

It’s the same pattern of weakness being exploited by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Every year of Biden’s presidency the West has become a feeble reflection of itself. The world has become more divided and less stable. Led by Biden and maintained by a global elite, right now, power is being consolidated in the hands of a few who are eroding security for the many. Food, fuel and freedom for the average person is being smashed while Western culture and history are being trashed. Our obsessions are climate, transgenderism and race; obsessions that are undermining the West’s duty to maintain power and security. Ask critical questions, you are treated with suspicion.

The disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan was the flashing light on America’s dashboard. A signal to our enemies that this is their chance. And if cunning, which they are, our enemies will not push beyond the threshold triggering full-blown world war. Instead, they will continue coordinating an endless series of humiliating assaults from multiple domains across several fronts. For example, this terror war against Israel engineered by Iran is also an attempt to re-ignite a new global extremist insurgency. Because lets get one thing straight, while technically Hamas is a proxy, this is a direct attack by Iran. And the Biden Administration’s first response, to this attack was to call for Israel to refrain from violence and retaliation, before deleting the post.

Powerful geopolitical forces are seeking to merge causes against Western democratic Judeo-Christian principles. And why wouldn’t they? There is little to fear by way of serious repercussions.

Machiavelli said if you cannot be loved it is best to be feared. The US and their Western allies are neither. Like a dog cocking its leg with utter contempt against a tree, the image of the Russian Su-27 fighter jet spraying fuel on the US MQ-9 Reaper drone in March this year said it all. The US complained it was not ‘climate friendly’.

Remember the Chinese spy balloon allowed to do figure-of-eights above US military bases for days? The invasion across the US southern border and the English Channel into Britain are symbolic representations of self-harm for all the world to see and for our enemies to exploit.

Imagine if Australia had a land border. And a globalist elite lecturing us that the proxy war against Russia is to stop an existential threat, without giving Ukraine the means to win. And worse nothing for Russia to fear that could have prevented it in the first place.

This is not another cheap shot at the US and Biden cannot shoulder the blame alone. Instead, it reflects a deep concern for one of the greatest unfolding strategic tragedies of our time with serious consequences for Australia. And now Israel.

Conflict and security run along a moral, mental and physical continuum. The centre of gravity in war and terrorism is people. Whether many of us like it or not, and regardless of right or wrong, there remain people who absolutely believe. They love death more than we love life. The Iranian mullahs, their members of parliament, and as it turns out communities living in Greenacre and elsewhere in Sydney, including the Greens, really do hate us.

Its a mindset adapted through evolutionary psychology in a highly competitive environment selecting for and reproducing fanaticism. Being a member of the Taleban is a state of mind.

As it is with Isis, Iran’s extremists, Hamas, Hezbollah and Putin’s Russia. Putin’s role models are Ivan the Terrible, Peter the Great and Catherine the Great. Read about those times. Then let that sink in. Then think about Biden.

In Why I am Not a Muslim, Ibn Warraq explains how Americans think that deep down we all have the same values. Warraq says Americans believe that all these terrorists, if you scratch beneath the surface, are looking for equality and justice. That’s complete nonsense. Americans can’t face the reality that different people have different values. And yet we welcome them.

Instead, as women were being snatched from the streets and 5,000 rockets rained down in an all-out terror war on Israel, the good people at the United Nations urged ‘restraint’. The result will be a long war leading potentially to Israel taking complete control of the Gaza Strip. And why wouldn’t they? No sane nation would allow a spider’s nest of terrorism to have sanctuary on its doorstep.

Some are calling this latest attack on Israel a failure of intelligence. Yet, prior to 1973 Yom Kippur War, Israel was told by US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger under no circumstances were the Israelis to launch a pre-emptive strike against Egyptian and Syrian forces. Kissinger said had Israel struck first, it would not have received ‘so much as a nail’.

We may never learn if similar warnings were made by the Biden administration during his attempt at a Saudi peace deal. A deal that would have seriously undermined Iran. Given the scale, complexity and territorial coordination of land, sea and air assets, its hard to accept no one, in or outside Israel, knew.

For a generation, many in the West  have disregarded the grubby truth that their ideals rely on the security provided by realists.

If Australia were surrounded by enemies wanting to wipe us off the map, we would all become realists. Instead, to paraphrase Churchill, we have a political and corporate class that, largely, refuses to face unpleasant facts and prefers smooth-sounding platitudes.

And although devoid of guile, are not devoid of guilt, and though free from wickedness or evil design, they continue to play a definite part in the unleashing upon the world the horrors and miseries, that could be beyond comparison in human experience.  This is the world led by Biden, and his masters.
