On election night, when President Donald Trump seemed in position to be re-elected, no one was more alarmed than the leaders of Iran. Facing the prospect of a second term for the Trump administration, the thugs atop Iran’s clerical regime no doubt wondered how they’d endure four more years of the US imposing crippling economic sanctions on Iran, potentially killing more senior Iranian officials, and staunchly supporting their chief regional enemies, Israel and Saudi Arabia.

The US and China are competing for global influence, and Beijing’s pitch to the world is simple: Choose us, and through economic development, we’ll make you rich more efficiently. Plus, the pitch continues, we don’t care what you do inside your own borders; just don’t question what we do either, follow our rules, and we all prosper. This message is appealing to developing countries, which want more money, and non-democratic countries, which don’t want to be bothered about democracy and human rights. But even Western countries can be seduced by Chinese money and talk of major infrastructure projects.

The United States is close to being dominated by companies and wealthy individuals who are deeply indebted to – and afraid of – the Chinese Communist dictatorship.

The Obama administration was infamously hostile to Israel and acquiescent to Iran. But even during Barack Obama’s presidency, the US and Israel agreed on the state of Iran’s nuclear program. Indeed, Washington and Jerusalem saw the same intelligence and came to similar conclusions about how close Iran was to building nuclear bombs. The much-publicized tensions and disagreements between both sides were over something different: the urgency of the threat.
When Joe Biden was vice president, the US had an obsession: establishing friendlier relations with Iran through diplomacy — specifically, a nuclear deal. This obsession dominated the Obama administration’s approach to the Middle East, superseding all other concerns. Biden may try to revive this agenda as president, but he’d be wrong for doing so — as a recent assassination makes clear.
Following what the media’s been saying, you’d think the world was at peace until Donald Trump entered the White House and ruined our global bliss.
Consider how the press is reporting on foreign policy in the wake of the 2020 election. Prominent outlets are proclaiming that friendly foreign leaders are relieved that President Trump appears to have lost the election, that Trump’s “impulsive” policies have made the world a darker and more turbulent place, and that other countries have lost faith in America because of how Trump has alienated allies.
Americans are all too familiar with the bogus narrative that President Donald Trump’s campaign colluded with the Russian government to win the 2016 election. Indeed, Democrats and “Never Trump” Republicans have repeated this tired conspiracy theory for years with an almost maniacal obsession. And now, the complicit news media is pushing the same hoax — this time about the 2020 election.
Dr. Saeb Erekat is no friend of Israel. He’s said that Palestinian terrorists who stab random Israelis are “defending themselves.” He’s accused Israel of practicing apartheid and giving Palestinians the coronavirus. He’s compared Israel to ISIS, saying there’s “no difference” between their “terrorism.” And he’s called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a “war criminal” who’s “not worth the bullet it would take to shoot him.”
Anyone who really wants Arab-Israeli peace should be applauding the agreement to normalize relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The deal is historic: While Egypt and Jordan have had peace treaties with Israel for decades, the UAE is the first Arab country to go a step further and become friends with the Jewish state. Indeed, Abu Dhabi and Jerusalem are preparing to cooperate on scientific and economic projects, and the Israeli and Emirati peoples are preparing to develop intimate ties through trade and tourism.
As we’ve seen time and again in various Marxist nations, outreach with the west in the form of tourism and trade does not bring about political liberalization. Despite the Obama-Biden Cuba Thaw, the island remains a one-party state, with a long list of mounting human rights abuses. Engaging Marxist nations only enriches Marxist dictators — and harms those living under their rule.
