The author completely misses the fact that Biden went to Israel to advocate for limited (or no) ground incursion at all. Literally no one wants this. He’s even asking china to talk to Iran, because he knows that china really doesn’t want this.
TL;DR Author of this opinion piece only reads headlines and not actual news of what is going on.
Sorry, I was reading an article today and it popped into my head that I had never responded to you. This article specifically referenced it which is why it popped into my head:
Before Israel’s ground operation into Gaza, the Biden administration had been urging Israel to conduct a “more surgical” operation instead of a full-scale invasion due to the high potential for both civilian and IDF casualties, said the first U.S. official.
This is very paraphrased in the article, but the gist of it is correct.
There are articles on the China part of it but they got buried quickly. Basically The Biden admin was asking china to talk to Iran to try to get them to chill a bit so that things don’t end up going completely off the rails. Keep in mind that Hezbollah is basically state sponsored by Iran, so this isn’t just Iran the country being asked to chill out, but Hezbollah as well. And it worked as far as I can tell, because Hezbollah put out a statement the other day being inflammatory pricks like they are but also showed some restraint (of which the article took note), which is notable.
Read that and then ask yourself… Does this sound like the Hezbollah I know about? Because the Hezbollah I know of would be ass deep in Jihad right now.

🤔 Interesting . . . I’m not saying I don’t believe you, but do you have some links to back this up? Would like to read up on this.
