"Biden Authorizes Strike in Syria Just Days Into Presidency "
Hawkish GOP Neocon stalwarts are praising Biden's status-quo bombing in Syria - much to the delight of those who would like to see a continuation of the same foreign policy orthodoxy that has yielded abysmal results:
And it's not just Progressives who are condemning Biden's reckless action today (namely Ro Khanna & Bernie Sanders) - but even moderates within the Party are calling for an overhaul to War Powers:
It's really rich to think how so many Dems were lining up to condemn Trump's disastrous foreign policy abuses in taking offensive military action without congressional approval - like Kamala did here:
Yet Biden has just continued the bi-partisan trend of executive abuse in perpetuating forever war policy - and many rightfully were concerned with his hawkish record coming into office - fearing the same old same old when it comes to counter-productive offensive action in the Mid-East.
Thankfully there's at least one Republican (Rep. Massie) standing on principle who has standing to critique Biden on this (as he critiqued Trump in the same manner):
Biden's bombing of "Iran backed militias" yet again shows the urgent need to return to the JCPOA (something Biden and Blinken are dragging their feet on, instead choosing to rush into military action without even trying diplomacy). Business as usual at the Pentagon.
Just a month into his presidency and Biden has already bombed Syria and Somalia, signals a maintenance of the wars in Afghanistan, and despite some nice rhetoric, hasn't yet put teeth into his words about stopping the Saudi genocide in Yemen. He's sent more troops to Iraq and has already approved hundreds of millions of dollars in weapons deals for Raytheon.
Sorry, pandemic relief will have to wait in line behind imperial priorities. This isn't a good sign for those who had hopes of a new foreign policy prescription.
