There is nothing Joe Biden won’t do to appease nations that want the United States hurt.
First China, now Iran.
This was made clear in — of all locations — tiny Albania, a struggling democracy, when the federal government forcefully raided the properties of an Iranian resistance group of some 3,000 individuals who vehemently oppose the Iranian authorities and search its overthrow.
One Iranian was killed, and a whole lot injured when 1,000 Albanian police final week sprayed the protesting Iranians with tear fuel and pepper spray. The police broke down doorways and confiscated and destroyed recordsdata, private gadgets and 150 computer systems.
The raid was carried out to fight unspecified “illegal activity,” which translated means makes an attempt by the resistance group to sabotage the Iranian authorities by digital and our on-line world exercise.
A spokesperson for the U.S State Department, requested if the U.S. was going smooth on Iran to safe a nuclear deal, stated the police had been merely executing a courtroom order. He stated, “We support the government of Albania’s right to investigate any potential illegal activities within its territory.”
Joe Biden threw the mullahs in Iran a bone they usually had been delighted with it.
Called the MEK (Mujahedeen-e-Khaliq), the dissenting Iranians had been initially rescued from Iran by the U.S. in 2014 which sought to offer a protected haven for them.
Albania, a NATO member, and a U.S. vassal state, introduced them in. They stay in camps at a website situated between the capital of Tirana and Durres on the Adriatic coast.
Since then, they functioned, with quiet U.S. assist, as a thorn within the facet of Iranian non secular dictator Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the Iranian mullahs who run the Iranian non secular police state.
Such political luminaries as former Vice President Mike Pence and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo have supported the dissident Iranians, and each have visited the MEK compound.
However, issues immediately took a flip for the more serious for them following President Joe Biden’s try and make good with the Khamenei by negotiating a deal to restrict Iran’s nuclear program, a deal that former President Donald Trump thrashed in 2018.
Under the Biden deal the uswould ease sanctions on Iran, unfreeze billions of {dollars} in Iranian belongings, get Iranian terrorists to cease killing Americans in Iraq and Syria, free American hostages, unfreeze billions in Iranian belongings for use for “humanitarian” functions and cease offering Russia with drones and ballistic missiles.
Pompeo, who visited MEK headquarters final yr, accused Biden of “abandoning the Iranian people and enriching their oppressors. The regime is committed to crushing its own people while spreading terror and mayhem abroad, and the Biden administration’s blind desire to appease and negotiate with it has made the world a more dangerous place.”
One irony amongst many is that Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama and his Socialist authorities — with U. S. assist– shut down the Iranian embassy and broke off relations with Iran final yr after it accused Iran of launching a cyberattack towards it.
That July 15 assault shut down a lot of the Albanian authorities and Rama accused Iran of “state aggression.” The Iranians known as him an American stooge.
Now, due to Biden, is it’s as if nothing occurred.
The U.S. is now supporting Rama, a Joe Biden fanatic, and his assault on the Iranian resistance fighters who he and the usonce supported of their effort to overthrow the oppressive Iranian authorities.
Many Albanians really feel that the U.S. is solely utilizing Albania as a prepared pawn in Biden’s effort to appease the non secular militants who run the Iranian theocracy.
The Biden administration by Secretary of State Antony Blinken has made a coverage of interfering in Albanian politics, elections, and governance. If America says, leap, Albanian politicians merely ask how excessive?
It is comprehensible if the dissenting Iranians of MEK really feel that Biden has deserted them. That is as a result of he has, simply as he deserted hundreds of Afghan American allies in Kabul when he recklessly withdrew from Afghanistan.
It’s the Biden doctrine: You assist America at your peril.
