Just a month after his presidency and Joe Biden’s foreign policy already sounds like a joke.
Sunday, 48 hours after removing Yemeni Houthi rebels from the State Department’s terrorist blacklist and ordering an end to US support for the Saudi-led military effort against the Houthis, the Biden administration he turned around and asked the Iran-backed group to stop committing acts. of terrorism against civilians and cease military operations.
The State Department considers it a master plan to end the war. He got the Saudis to support the idea of a negotiated deal and then asked the Houthis to stop inflicting suffering, which would be a big step.
But there’s no sign of a penalty if they don’t (maybe they put them back on the blacklist?), And they sure now believe they’re closer than ever to winning. After all, Biden will not support the Saudis again.
It is beyond naive.
