“Blood now soaks the soil of three continents.” The attackers are now killing
Before World War II, multiple small regional conflicts had developed.
Eventually they merged.
This is exactly what is developing now, according to an expert on international events, and Joe Biden allows it.
“Biden has opened the gates of hell. Although nothing is inevitable, we are rapidly approaching the point where, in practical terms, China and Russia will no longer be able to prevent, directly and through proxies, the integration of existing conflicts into the next world war. Zhang, a China expert, in a column for the Gatestone Institute.
He pointed out that “Biden’s foreign policy has collapsed.” National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan admitted this to CNN's Dana Bash on February 4.
“I've said now many times on this program and I've said it many times before that the administration is trying to prevent this from spreading into a regional conflict,” Bash said.
She then mentioned the sites of the conflict and said: “My colleague Peter Bergen astutely pointed out that this conflict involves 10 countries, at least four major terrorist groups, so isn’t this already a regional conflict?”
Sullivan responded: “Well, Dana, what I would say is that these are different challenges but they are related. … For example, obviously what's happening in the Red Sea is somewhat related to what's happening in Gaza, but it's not the same thing.” The Houthis are not just hitting ships associated with Israel; they are hitting a lot of different ships from a lot of different countries. And so we are trying to deal with the challenge to freedom of navigation in the Red Sea. This is an obvious challenge. The militias in Iraq and Syria are hitting our forces. We are responding. And it is Then, of course, Israel deals with the challenge posed by Hamas in Gaza and the threat posed by Hezbollah in the north.
Zhang explained that Sullivan, although not his intention, confirmed that the war in Gaza had indeed extended beyond this troubled strip. The situation is actually worse than he let on. Hamas leaders have fled Qatar and are now hiding in Qatari diplomatic missions in Morocco, where they are not wanted by the king, and in Algeria, where the regime welcomes them.”
He said this means that Iran actually has elements at the western end of the Mediterranean, in line with its threats to shut down shipping there, as it has already done in the Red Sea.
Now, “Hamas activists have fled Qatar to Turkey, which controls access to the Black Sea and Lebanon.”
The sequence was as follows: “The Biden debacle in Afghanistan in August 2021 was quickly followed by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, China and Russia’s incitement to fuel insurgency in North Africa, and Iran’s attacks on Israel from Gaza and the Golan Heights.”
He noted that Jonathan Bass, of InfraGlobal Partners, said: “Blood is now soaking the soil of three continents. More will be spilled. The aggressors are now doing the killing.”
Zhang said Biden's policies fail because Biden believes it is possible to integrate “almost all countries into the rules-based international system.”
But he said China and Russia do not actually respect other countries' sovereignty.
This means that “Beijing and Moscow do not accept the assumptions that have defined the world since the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, which established the current international order. “Chinese and Russian leaders do not agree on what should replace Westphalia, but they are nonetheless working together to bring it down,” he added.
This leaves Biden “trying to work” with China while Xi Jinping “believes that the United States is at most a Chinese colony.”
Biden is also trying to “manage” the war between Russia and Ukraine. He is looking for a “settlement” in the Middle East.
“He must realize that there can be no consensus with regimes that seek to destroy the United States — China and Iran, for example — or regimes that aid these enemies — most notably Russia. “
