| In which retired Indian diplomat M. K. Bhadrakumar shows that he understands the plays of Tennessee Williams considerably better than he does President Biden. Not that he is alone in this, because any approach that does not start with the American president’s growing senility and astounding cupidity will be woefully incomplete. His opening pitch: |
[IndianPunchline] The US President Joe Biden is convinced that one of the reasons why Hamas launched the attack on Israel was because of the announcement during the G20 Summit in New Delhi on the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor . But he also admitted that this reading was based purely on his instinct and he did not have any proof for it.
Biden’s motivation in saying so lies in the US’ desperate need to reclaim its leadership role in the Muslim Middle East. The two most compelling realities rejecting the American leadership are: one, a strong united regional solidarity cutting across sectarian divides to seek a settlement on Palestine, like at no time before, and, two, the Saudi-Iranian rapprochement.
