Something Awful Is Brewing

Iran has begun aggressive war games. 

Turkey—a supposed NATO ally—pledged publicly to send its troops to Gaza.

Putin has invited Hamas and Iran to Moscow for private talks.

Netanyahu announces an expansion of Israel’s necessary defense, and the reaction intensifies support for the terrorists—not Israel.

In hundreds of major cities, hundreds of thousands of protestors chant slogans supporting the complete elimination of the State of Israel and Jewish people altogether. 

In America, those chanting such things appear to far outnumber those in attendance at rallies supporting Israel.

Most Western governments have been decidedly silent on the matter. In America, while Biden has parroted the right ideas, he too is stunningly unmoved by the aggressive pro-terrorist throngs taking over bridges, shutting down public parks, and outnumbering the capacity of municipal law enforcement to handle peacefully.

In Congress, the open anti-Semitic voices outnumber those who are willing to co-sponsor legislation to deport supporters of terrorism. And the President sits unwilling to close the wide-open border, allowing tens of thousands of military-aged young males to enter our nation weekly with nothing more than a ticket-to-appear as their punishment.

With heads of nations like Iran and Turkey stirring anti-Zionist Jew hatred into their public statements, policies, and threats—imagine the damage done if an invasion of Israel was combined with a “day of rage” where sleeper cells were activated worldwide.

While Israel can handle Hamas one on one, would she have the capacity to handle a coordinated attack from Russia, Iran, Syria, Turkey, Jordan & Lebanon? All of whom have made public statements against her.

She will need allies, but the West sits silent while false numbers of deaths continue to be “reported.”

It does my heart little to no good to think that Israel’s great backstop is the somewhat correct musings of Joe Biden at this time. 

And make no mistake; China is lurking in the background, waiting and watching, hoping that the US gets distracted in a conflict deeply enough that they—perhaps with an axis of Russia, Iran, and North Korea—can finally knock America down a rung or two. 

This is about as unstable a world as I’ve seen in my lifetime, and sadly, I’m beginning to doubt the will of free nations to do what is necessary to correct it.

In America, it starts with strong and decisive leadership. Last week, a refreshing end to the Speaker’s race set the tone. But the work has just begun. 

And ask yourself the question, would America have the capacity to take on such an axis without the strongest of alliances? Yet, based on the abject damage that Biden has done to our international relationships, he couldn’t even get the Saudis to sell us more oil, practically begging them on his knees.

The horrible reality is that Biden’s energy policy brought much of this on. His ending of domestic energy made Russia and Iran both quite wealthy. Wealthy tyrants start wars. Russia attempted to take Ukraine, and Iran stockpiled their proxies (Hamas) to carry out the worst attack on Jewish people since Hitler. 

If America remained the world’s dominant energy producer, we could have bankrupted both operations. We still could.

But it will again require decisive leadership. 

When America is disrespected, the world is an exceedingly unstable place. But the world becomes safer for all when we lead, are feared and respected.

At present, it appears no one respects America, and the evil doers sense that this window of time is the moment they must seize upon.

Pray that we have the will to do what is necessary and to do it before it is too late.
