Certainly is a great way to reduce everyone to penury and peonage.

But… “Isn’t that part of the Great Reset, though? ” ??

Clearly, the GREATEST THREAT TO DEMOCRACY SRI LANKA HAS EVER EXPERIENCED!!

Why are they so willing to destroy anything and everything?

The lack of self-awareness among establishment “elites” is breathtaking. Perhaps exceeded only by their hubris.

” the worries of the Antoinette liberal elite—climate change, abortion on demand, transgenderism, strict gun-control—are not those that terrify the middle and lower classes. The latter, for some reason, first want to survive one more day with enough affordable food and energy and to be safe from criminals.

Why Democrats are currently unpopular transcends even Joe Biden’s daily, dangerous, and tragic loss of cognition. Their low ratings arise more from the implementation of an array of disastrous policies dreamed up at left-wing university departments and think tanks. ”

Their fundamental problem is not their abandonment of real science, their rejection of truth, or their prioritizing of feelings over facts and logic. It is a fundamental failure of basic morality.

And payback from the always-classy “Biden”? Quelle SURPRISE!!

Compare and contrast:
1.
“US leaks of Israeli covert ops against Iran eroding trust, security ahead of Biden visit to region;
“Many observers believe leaking this information is tied to the Biden administration’s efforts to revive the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.”—
https://justthenews.com/government/security/ahead-bidens-mideast-trip-us-leaks-outing-israel-alleged-covert-ops-remain
Well, this should come as no surprise: it’s merely a rehashing of Obama’s betrayals of “America’s #1 in the Middle East”…and so perfectly appropriate—and expected.
Key grafs (from someone who OBVIOUSLY doesn’t understand what’s going on, i.e., what “Biden” is up to:
‘ “It’s a sign of extraordinary incompetence and unprofessionalism from Biden and his foreign policy team,” said Fred Fleitz, a former CIA analyst who also served as a senior staffer on both the House Intelligence Committee and the National Security Council. ‘ “It’s outrageous they would leak this kind of information.”…’
2.
“State Dept. undermines Afghan freedom fighters, condemning their fight against Taliban”—
https://justthenews.com/world/foreign-desk/exclusive-state-dept-undermines-afghan-freedom-fighters-condemning-their-fight
Well, betrayers gotta betray….

And to lighten up the appalling optics and loathsome atmospherics a bit, we present the following gem:
“Herzog to honor Biden with Presidential Medal of Honor next week;
“US leader set to become first recipient of award since 2014, for his ‘uncompromising decades-long commitment to Israel’s security,’ says president’s office”—

+ another really special Bonus in the form of
mre incomprehensible stupidity from people who are supposed to be smart (to be fair, it must be noted this is a left-of-center news source):
“Forced to abandon idealistic path, a pragmatic Biden set to meet MBS in Saudi Arabia
“After promising to make Riyadh’s rulers into pariahs and slash fossil fuels, POTUS to ask for more oil, re-engage in region; Israel’s leaders make similar about-face on natural gas”—
https://www.timesofisrael.com/forced-to-abandon-idealistic-path-a-pragmatic-biden-set-to-meet-mbs-in-saudi-arabia/
That’s right!
“…idealistic path…”!!
“…pragmatic Biden…”!!

No, it doesn’t get much better than this (actually, there are some other articles and opinion pieces on this site that do get better(!)…since we are talking about a hyuge disconnect from reality….)

OTOH, I suppose that one big advantage of being so “smart” is that one is able to come up with grotesque rationalizations with astonishing skill! (And/or quite deftly choose which “reality” one prefers to see.)
Fortunately for them, when things go south, they can always blame the Trump/Bibi relationship…

But I think the general attitude on the part of the current Israeli leadership, such as it is—and this may be surprising to some—is “Turn the other cheek” (IOW, We’re NOT Bibi, so you can hit us again and again and again…make utter fools of us and even try to make us disappear; but who knows? maybe we’ll give you another medal of recognition, slavish devotion and obsequious respect!)
