Secretly, Bidens Foreign Policies Are Trumps Foreign Policies by Eric Zuesse!

Bidens foreign policies are putting Democratic Party lipstick onto the Republican Partys pig. That is his "change", on U.S. foreign policies.

Though United States President Joe Biden is publicly critical of Donald Trumps foreign policies, he is continuing almost all of them and is changing only minor ones. The changes are almost entirely in rhetoric, not in policies, as will be documented here.

A good example of this entirely rhetorical "difference" is described in a February 19th article from Reuters, "Drawing contrast with Trump, Biden promises United States allies a partnership that is not transactional". Bidens policy, to "promote democracy over autocracies," condemns Trumps polices as having been "transactional" instead of based on "values."

But, actually, Americas invasions, and coups, and economic sanctions, during the past few decades, have been "justified" by condemning the United States regimes target-nations (Iraq, Iran, Libya, Syria, and Ukraine before Americas 2014 coup there - and now Ukraine is "our ally") as not being "democratic," and as not adhering to "human rights", as if the United States regime itself were an authentic democracy, or were unquestionably better on human rights than the targets against which its aggressions are directed - none of which is true.

If the United States of America were a democracy, then why does it have a higher percentage of its residents in prisons than does any other nation on the planet??

And they are almost all poor people, who could not even afford a good lawyer. That is "equal rights"? America is a country of equal rights? And it provides equal opportunity there, if your father went to prison? (Many ex-cons in America are not even allowed to vote. And their job-prospects, with a prison record or empty years shown on a CV, are permanently reduced.)

Joe Biden condemned "Donald Trump, who angered allies by breaking off global accords and threatening to end defense assistance unless they toed his line. "Our partnerships have endured and grown through the years because they are rooted in the richness of our shared democratic values. They are not transactional" [he said]."

Liberal hogwash - purely arrogant lies, by the United States regime, so that it can continue to perpetrate aggression against its target-nations, while appearing, to suckers, to be a "kinder and gentler nation".

The hypocrisy of that is understood by all of Americas allies - all leaders of the empires vassal-nations. They know that many of those allied leaders are, themselves, even more tyrannical than Americas leaders are.

For example, on February 16th, the BBC bannered "Princess Latifa: "Hostage" ordeal of Dubai rulers daughter revealed", and reported: "The daughter of Dubais ruler who tried to flee the country in 2018 later sent secret video messages to friends accusing her father of holding her "hostage" as she feared for her life. In footage shared with BBC Panorama, Princess Latifa Al Maktoum says commandos drugged her as she fled by boat and flew her back to detention." Will Biden therefore dump its UAE vassal-nation, for this "problem," which goes all the way back to the year 2000 and has never yet caused the U.S. regime to drop any "ally"?

Another of the "democratic" Americas vassal leaders, the one who controls Saudi Arabia, had perpetrated the 2 October 2018 luring into Istanbuls Saudi Consulate of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi (who feared for his life even as he entered there) where he was immediately dismembered and chopped-up by the team of Saudi Arabias Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman al-Saud, and thus was placed on public display how above-the-law Saudi Arabias Government really is.

The five execution-team-members, whom the Crown Prince had reason to believe might testify against him if released, were sentenced to death. So, anyone who would be hired for such an operation in the future would be a fool to trust that employer. The only real insiders in such a regime are at the very top. "Honor among thieves" does not exist at that high a level. Finally, on 9 September 2019, Turkeys Daily Sabah newspaper bannered "Saudi hit squads gruesome conversations during Khashoggis murder revealed", and reported that

The recordings, which took place before the murder between Sept. 28 and Oct. 2, 2018, reveal in detail the plans and preparations made between the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul and the Riyadh administration.

On Sept. 28, when Khashoggi came to the Saudi Consulate for papers to marry his fiancee Hatice Cengiz, Ahmed Abdullah al-Muzaini, who worked as Saudi Arabias intelligence station chief at the kingdoms consulate in Istanbul, informed Riyadh with an emergency code that Khashoggi had arrived at the consulate. Khashoggis return to the consulate on Oct. 2 was also informed to Riyadh.

On the same day at 7:08 p.m., Saudi Consul Otaibi held a phone call with an official from the office of Saud al-Qahtani, a close aide of Crown Prince Mohammed.

During the conversation, the murder of Khashoggi was called [in order to code so as to hide what was going on, in case Turkish intelligence were listening-in] "a private matter" and "a top-secret mission." The official told the Saudi consul that "the head of state security called me. They have a mission. They want one of your officials from your delegation to deal with a private matter. They want someone from your protocol.. for a private, top-secret mission. He can even get permission if necessary."

These statements are proof that the murder of Khashoggi was not done without the consent of the Saudi crown prince.

And Israels Netanyahu is not leading a racist apartheid theocratic nation? And Saudi Arabias monarch and his son Mohammed bin Salman al-Saud are not also leading a pro-jihadist regime, and Americas Government do not know this??

Not "transactional"? It is actually just replacing Donald Trumps transactionalism by Joe Bidens more hypocritical type.

And the hypocrisy here goes beyond the "not transactional" lie. On February 18th, Reuters headlined "United States says ready for talks with Iran over nuclear deal" and this propaganda reported that:

Washington,D.C. would respond positively to any European Union invitation to talks among Iran and the six major powers who negotiated the original agreement: Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the United States.

"We are ready to show up if such a meeting were to take place," the official told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity, after a senior EU official said he was prepared to convene such a meeting among the parties to the deal.

But it is just a nothingburger.

Though Russia supported an unconditional restoration of the Iran deal, because only the United States had broken it and quit it, the United States "allies" backed the aggressor-nation (the United States regime), "during a video meeting with his British, French and German counterparts gathered in Paris," as Joe Bidens Secretary of State Antony Blinken (who has supported every United States invasion including the 2003 invasion of Iraq) led them:

"Secretary Blinken reiterated that .. if Iran comes back into strict compliance with its commitments under the JCPOA, the United States will do the same and is prepared to engage in discussions with Iran toward that end," a joint statement from the four nations said.

America broke it first, but Iran must return to it first - according to America (which broke it first). Only idiots would accept such wacky "reasoning". But Joe Bidens Administration appeals only to such idiots. And yet Americas liberals deride Donald Trump for Trumps stupidity, and for the stupidity of his followers. Truth, and progressivism (which opposes all lies, conservative or liberal), have virtually no representation in todays American politics. Progressives are marginalized here.

Also on February 18th, the Moon of Alabama blogger bannered "Why Is Biden Creating Himself An Iran Quagmire?" and he wrote that the United States side were not only demanding that Iran cancel its own departure from the Iran deal (which cancellation had followed after the United States had already abandoned the deal) before the U.S. and its gang would return to the negotiating table to restore the Iran deal, but that in addition the U.S. and its "allies" would demand that Iran restrict its missile program - which had not even been included in the Iran deal - before the U.S. and its allies would negotiate a return to the Iran deal.

In other words: Iran would have to make concessions first - though only the United States had actually broken the deal - and the U.S. and its "allies" still would not negotiate unless and until Iran would first agree to reduce its missile-forces (which were not part of the Iran deal).

Furthermore, already, a law recently passed in Irans Parliament requires Irans Government to bring an end to the IAEA inspections, starting on February 23rd; so, Irans Government would not be allowed to back down to the U.S. regimes demands, even if Irans President were stupid enough to want to do so.

Instead of the gangster - the United States regime - apologizing for what it had done, it tries to fool its own and allied publics into believing that Iran - and not the United States gang - were the criminals here.

The blatancy of the United States of America being a regime instead of a democracy is obvious (after all, America stole Iran in 1953 and has been trying to grab it back ever since Iran finally broke away in 1979), and Joe Bidens pretense to being in a better category than Donald Trump is based on lies that only fools could believe.

And then there is Syria.

On January 23rd, Zero Hedge - linking to reliable online sources - headlined "A Large US Military Convoy Rolled Into Syria On 1st Day Of Biden Presidency". Not only is the new U.S. President Joe Biden intensifying Americas invasion of Syria, but he is preparing to increase the theft of oil that his predecessor Donald Trump began in Syria after Trumps predecessor Barack Obama had begun Americas attempted conquest of Syria in 2012.

Among the sources which were linked to, in that news-report, is Syrian National News Agency (SANA), which - in the past - has proven to have been truthful, about the war, far more often than standard U.S. and other anti-Syrian "journalism" has been shown to have been. SANA reported, on January 21st (Bidens first day as U.S. President) that:

The so-called US-led international coalition has sent weapons and logistical materials to its illegitimate bases in Hasaka countryside.

Local sources told SANA that a convoy consisted of 40 trucks loaded with weapons and logistical materials, affiliated to the so-called international coalition have entered in Hasaka countryside via al-Walid illegitimate border crossing with north of Iraq, to reinforce illegitimate bases in the area.

Over the past few days, helicopters affiliated to the so-called international coalition have transported logistical equipment and heavy military vehicles to Koniko [Conoco] oil field in northeastern Deir Ezzor countryside, after turning it into military base to reinforce its presence and loot the Syrian resources.

That oil field had been heavily contested during 2016 between Syrias Government (which owns it) and ISIS, until U.S. President Barack Obama bombed Syrias troops who were protecting it, and immediately ISIS forces moved in, and took it over (as was Obamas intention). That oil facility promptly became the chief source of income for ISIS Syrian operation, to overthrow Syrias Government.

On 30 April 2017, I had bannered "How Obama & Erdogan Moved ISIS from Iraq to Syria, to Weaken Assad", and explained:

Chris Tomson of Al Masdar News headlined on Monday May 1st, "Syrian Army tank takes direct hit from ISIS guided missile in Deir Ezzor" [on Sunday, April 30th] and reported that, "Currently, government forces are less than 1500 meters from linking up Deir Ezzor city to its airbase," which would be an essential link-up in order for the Syrian government to begin to restore control over the largest city in eastern Syria. Here will be the account of how U.S. President Barack Obama handed that city over to ISIS by means of two key actions, so as to weaken Assads government.

Today, Der Zor, or Deir Ezzor, Syrias major oil center, is controlled by ISIS or Daesh, but Obamas warplanes bombed the Syrian government troops there on 17 September 2016 and thereby ended the then 5-day-old ceasefire that John Kerry had spent months putting together with Sergei Lavrov [Russia’s Foreign Minister], and thus Obama effectively ended all peace negotiations with Russia regarding Syria.

Then, when United States and Turkish forces attacked ISIS in Mosul Iraq, an escape-path was intentionally left by them for those ISIS jihadists to travel west to Der Zor, so that they could not only take over the oil wells there, but do major damage to the Syrian governments army forces in that key city, after Obama had bombed there on September 17th. Consequently, Erdogan and Obama were now using ISIS in Mosul as a means for reinforcing ISIS in Syria, in such a way as to provide oil-income to ISIS and also to directly weaken Assads government.

Obama never told anyone that he favored ISIS and all jihadists over Assads government, but he showed it clearly and consistently by his actions.

A 12 August 2012 U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency warning [whose original can be seen here] that the Obama Administrations strategy might drive ISIS from Mosul in Iraq to Der Zor in Syria, has actually been carried out as a plan instead of a warning - a plan to weaken and ultimately oust Syrias non-sectarian President Bashar al-Assad and replace him with a Sunni Sharia-law regime (one led by jihadists). The 2012 DIA warning had called this scenario an "unraveling," but Obama and the U.S. Congress actually chose it, so as to set the incoming President Trump up with an opportunity to replace Assads government by one that the Sauds and their U.S.-made weapons will control.

Previously, Al Qaeda had been stealing Syrias oil, and the EU was cooperating with the Obama regime in order to help sell into the EU nations. Syrian troops briefly grabbed it back, but Obama now forced Syrias Army out and handed that oil-facility to ISIS, so that they could make money from it and continue the job of weakening Syrias Government.

On 9 March 2019, three years into Trumps Presidency, I headlined "Syria Accuses U.S. of Stealing 40+ Tons of Its Gold" that ISIS had accumulated from their foreign sales of Syrias oil. However, now that U.S. President Trump knew that ISIS had been "earning" that much money from selling that oil, he wanted to become the person who would be choosing whom would be funded by Syrias oil. So, on 30 October 2019, I bannered "How the U.S. Regime "Justifies" the Theft of Syrias Oil" and reported that

On 26 Oct, the New York Times headlined "Keep the Oil": Trump Revives Charged Slogan for New Syria Troop Mission" and opened by saying that "in recent days, Mr. Trump has settled on Syrias oil reserves as a new rationale for appearing to reverse course and deploy hundreds of additional troops to the war-ravaged country." They closed with a statement from Bruce Riedel, retired from the CIA: "Let us say he does do it," Mr. Riedel said. "Let us say we establish the precedent that we are in the Middle East to take the oil. The symbolism is really bad." The propaganda-value of a "news"-report is concentrated in its opening, and especially in what the "reporter" (fulfilling the intentions of his editors) selected to be at the very end (such as Riedels statement).

However, is what is wrong with taking Syrias oil actually the "symbolism," as Riedel said, or is it instead the theft - the reality (and why did the NYT pretend that it is the symbolism)? Nowhere did that NYT article use the word "theft," or anything like it, but that is the actual issue here - not mere "symbolism".

So, Joe Biden will continue that operation, which Barack Obama had started and Donald Trump continued.

The goal is to hand to the Saud family control over Syrias government. The Sauds are to select whom the rulers of Syrians will be. That has been the plan ever since the CIAs second coup, which briefly overthrew Syrias Government, in 1949.

And then there is Julian Assange, who has never been convicted of anything but is being drugged and held in a British maximum-security prison as the latest stage in his decade-long imprisonment-without-conviction for anything.

A British judge dropped all charges against him and was keeping him in prison pending a decision by Joe Biden (via Merrick Garland) on whether or not to re-assert Donald Trumps re-assertion of Barack Obamas assertion that Mr. Assange had stolen (though he never stole) and made public U.S. Government secrets and should be extradited to the U.S. for what everyone expects to be a kangaroo court trial that would end in his execution for having done what Daniel Ellsberg had done in the Pentagon Papers case about the Vietnam War.

The international hero, Julian Assange, is to be "tried" in a United States court. On February 12th, the New York Times bannered, "Biden Justice Dept. Asks British Court to Approve Extradition of Julian Assange". Biden continues Trumps continuation of Obamas attempt to murder Julian Assange.

Ultimately, Bidens foreign policies are putting Democratic Party lipstick onto the Republican Partys pig. That is his "change", on United States foreign policies.

Just like with Hitler, it is all fakery, except that (like with Hitler) the evil which motivates it, and which threatens the entire world, is all too real.

Whether the United States regime will go all the way to yet another World War in order to impose it everywhere (as Hitler aspired to do), is unknown.

(Some experts think the signs point that way.) Hitler went that far, but lost his war. And his spirit (minus the anti-Semitism) then took over in Washington,D.C., but with "kinder" rhetoric.

The results in the nuclear Age would be that everyone would lose. The only way to stop that would be to stop Washington, but that is a decision which only Washingtons vassal-nations would make - if they will.

And even on his domestic polices, Joe Biden lies in order to serve the priorities of the billionaires who funded his way into the White House.

For example, on February 20th, NPR headlined "FACT CHECK: Bidens Comments On Loan Forgiveness And Elite Colleges" and proved that he was deceiving the public about that issue.

He is as corrupt as they come. The stopping of the United States aristocracy will either come from abroad, or not at all. It will not come internally from within the U.S., because the regime does not allow its public to recognize that it is a regime - an imperialistic aristocracy - instead of a democracy.

It is more cunning than Hitler was. Americas aristocracy recognizes that in modern times, personification of their regime (in a monarch or other "divinely ordained" individual or "Fuehrer") produces only a fleeting dictatorship and one that is hard to keep in line or continue with a successor.

In modern times, a "democratic" dictatorship has more lasting power. So, that is what we now have. The spirit of Hitler lives on, in the United States of Americas aristocracy.
