As part of the Biden administration’s campaign against Israel, Secretary of State Antony Blinken hit the airwaves to talk about the rollout of a report attacking the war against Hamas.
And rehashing the old argument that only nation-building, not fighting terrorism, can defeat the terrorists.
Blinken claimed that “if they leave and get out of Gaza, as we believe they need to do, then you’re going to have a vacuum that’s likely to be filled by chaos, anarchy, and ultimately by Hamas again.”
Israel he claimed is “on the trajectory, potentially, to inherit an insurgency with many armed Hamas left or, if it leaves, a vacuum filled by chaos, filled by anarchy, and probably refilled by Hamas. We’ve been talking to them about a much better way of getting an enduring result, enduring security.”
The “enduring” result is more of the “nation-building” that created the problem in the first place.
Major parts of Israel are under the control of terrorists because the Bush I and Clinton administrations argued that without nation-building, there’s be constant terrorism. The Oslo accords turned over territories to the terrorists as part of a peace deal. Instead of a peace deal, there was only more terrorism.
The Bush II administration, specifically Condi Rice, pushed for elections leading Hamas to take over Gaza. Obama demanded that Israel negotiate with Hamas after every conflict to produce ceasefires.
Oct 7 is the end result of all that nation-building.
Biden talks about an endless insurgency, chaos and anarchy. And Hamas. The cause of all that isn’t fighting terrorists, it’s enabling them.
The lesson of Oct 7 is to stop the nation-building and defeat the terrorists.

Blinken has his head up his blinkin arsehole.

Yeah, somebody needs to do humanity a favor and punch his face off.

Daniel Greenfield has provided true historical facts in this article.
Blinken and Biden provide lies and lies and more lies.
They believe history can be choreographed to accommodate their corrupt political agendas and historical fantasies.
America has psychopaths as its political leaders like Biden, Blinken, Obama, Pelosi, and the Clintons and Harris and Schumer., etc.etc.etc.
RS says
These leaders have proven they aren’t fit to rule anything, or especially tell Israel what to do!
Cassandra says
Clearly Blinkin’ fool Blinken is in a competition with s0ro$ to see how much of a kapo judenrat he can be. I hope G- d has a really awful punishment for this pile of sewage.
Kasandra says
Our maladministration is delusional from top to bottom. There is simply no getting around it on a myriad of issues. They have lost their tether to reality.

Why should anybody build anything for the Islamofascist colonists? There are already 56 colonies that they can go to
Verneoz says
“Secretary of State Blinken: Only Nation Building, Not Fighting Terrorists, Can Defeat Terrorists.” This is what Democrats, progressives, and appeasers do. Nation building is code speak for giving up American free stuff, unlimited US green cards, and ignoring terrorist massacres. Blinken’s words actually bring more terrorism for the terrorists consider these words signs of weakness.
Chuck Jose says
You sit on a throne of Lies Blinken.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yes, a white porcelain throne.
Ben Leucking says
The U.S. has a historically low rate of success in establishing and sustaining democratic regimes during nation-building efforts. Only four cases out of sixteen attempts (Germany, Japan, Grenada and Panama) have seen democracy sustained ten years after U.S. forces departed.
For Blinken, the perpetual rookie, to claim that nation building is the only way to defeat terrorists flies in the face of historical fact.
Algorithmic Analyst says
When did nation building ever work? I was trying to think of an example.
I’ve been reading about Napoleon’s nation building attempt in Spain. That didn’t go very well 🙂
Jeff Bargholz says
I don’t think anything in Spain ever goes well. I think the Moors poisoned their bloodline.
DrLarry says
Just another example of the contorted reasoning of the Left. Wars are won by defeating enemies, not strengthening them.
Domenic Pepe says
“Defeating enemies” is now verboten to America and US citizens.
America’s ruling leftist democrat political corporate and cultural and educational classes
prefer criminal and illegal aliens and depraved psychopathic murderous Moo–Slums
to bona fide US citizens.
America and US citizens wake up and take your country back now.
TruthLaser says
If American policy will from now on be to not defeat enemies, but instead to adopt them, that is worse than voluntary surrender and submission.
Angel Jacob says
There is no such a thing as Palestinian nation. Just violent gangs of terrorists.
They must be eliminated, not enabled or appeased.
A war is a war. It’s war of survival. The terrorists must not survive.
Just remember how Crusaders won the war against islamic savages. It worked.
Cat says
IMO Israel should not leave a vacuum in Gaza. Instead fly the Israeli flag. Return the people who were fircef to leave their homes there -or others- to resettle. Anyone peaceful can remain. But those Gazans supporting Hamas must leave. By sea, if necessary. There! I’ve just built or rather strengthened a nation, Israel.
Chief Mac says
Never saw a dead terrorist ever commit another attack
glpage says
Apparently, Blinken and the other nation building proponents have had their heads in the sand for the last 20 plus years. Our efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan have shown beyond any shadow of doubt that nation building does not work when Islamic terrorists are involved. Are the fools in the administration trying to prove they are dumber than a box of rocks? Even Pollyanna isn’t that incredibly stupid.
