Joe Biden is going on a big boy trip to the Middle East! The White House says that Ol’ Joey wants to analyze US strategic goals abroad, which means he’ll be providing legitimacy to Israel’s new ruling apartheid government while also trying to maintain relations with a murderous Saudi prince. Iran will also be on Biden’s mind during the trip, as they are rumored to be supplying Russia with weaponized drones. All of these issues are time sensitive and very much life-or-death, and for reasons that remain unclear, they’re being placed in the incompetent, wrinkled & shaky hands of a man who just wants to sleep.
Over the coming days and weeks, Biden will meet with princes, prime ministers, and all sorts of unsavory political beasts. He’ll get a tour of Israel’s new line of laser weaponry, he’ll break bread with Saudi princes accused of dismembering dissidents, and he’ll wrap up the world tour by trying to convince Iran to trust again. I’m sure the coming days and weeks will bring with them some solid Biden screw-ups; follow along to see the exact moment when it all blows up in his face.
