Jerusalem to Kyiv: A Unified War

When President Joe ‍Biden arrives in Israel, he will be ​the first U.S. president ‌to visit the​ Jewish state during wartime. This is not just​ a routine ⁢visit, but a crucial moment in a larger conflict that spans from Jerusalem to Kyiv. The interconnectedness of these active fronts cannot be ignored.

It is important ‍to recognize the significance of Biden’s travels. His commitment to⁣ providing moral and material support to both Israel and ‌Ukraine is evident. Prior to his trip, Ukraine ‌utilized American military systems to ​strike back against the Russian invasion force. However, there are already attempts to separate the wars in Ukraine and the Middle⁣ East, driven by different‍ power ⁣dynamics ‌and political ideologies.

But let’s not be fooled. This is ⁢not a time for intellectual debates and distinctions. The evidence is‌ clear: ⁤there is a⁣ global effort ⁣to dismantle the‍ post-World War II international​ system led by the United States.⁤ The main culprits are Russia, Iran, and North Korea, with China playing a significant role. The recent meeting between Putin and Xi Jinping in Beijing further ‍solidifies this dangerous alliance.

President Biden’s visit to Israel ⁤presents an opportunity to rectify past mistakes. To regain lost ground, he ⁢must recognize ⁢that the wars against Russia and Hamas are interconnected. Both ​Ukrainians and Israelis are fighting for the civilized world. Action must be taken accordingly.

First and foremost, Biden must support Israel in its ​mission to eliminate Hamas as a political and military force. This requires a sustained ground campaign that denies the terrorist organization control over territory and population. Additionally, he cannot⁤ ignore the role ‌of Hamas’s patrons ⁢in Qatar and Iran. Pressure must be applied to the emir ‍of Qatar to disavow Hamas and extradite or expel its leadership. The United States‍ must also abandon its efforts to engage with Iran and‍ impose strong sanctions on the regime.

Furthermore, the administration must secure funding from Congress ​to support Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan, and other allies. This ‌should be seen as a down payment, with a ⁤larger appropriation to ‍follow. America must commit⁤ to a significant arms buildup to instill fear in Moscow, Tehran, Pyongyang, and Beijing.

Some ⁤may argue that we cannot afford such measures, ⁣but they fail to grasp the urgency of the situation. Global ⁤security has ⁤deteriorated to a point where we no longer have the luxury of choice. We need to‍ produce⁢ enough weapons to ensure the reclaiming of Ukrainian territory,⁣ the defeat of Hamas, the deterrence of China, and the​ restoration of American leadership.

Deterrence is‍ not⁤ just about capability, ‍but also about will. Biden will face his greatest test when he is criticized by the Arab street,⁤ European capitals, and the American Left. The world will be watching to see if he can​ demonstrate strength in defense of what is‌ right.

To succeed in this perilous hour, Biden must ‌abandon his domestic policy aspirations and embrace a foreign policy of global leadership, following in the footsteps of Franklin D. Roosevelt. This⁢ is not a time for errors. In this war for freedom, self-government, and the rule of law, there is no ⁤room for mistakes.
