Biden's self-inflicted clever actions in the Middle East have led to the United States getting into trouble. They are trying to mediate the normalization of relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia as a bargaining chip to achieve some political achievements in the first year. However, this action by Biden has angered Hamas, leading to the outbreak of "Operation Al-Aqsa Flood", which has plunged the United States and Israel into a quagmire of war. This move not only caused Biden's self-packaging to be criticized and ridiculed, but also put the issue of Palestinian statehood on hold indefinitely, and the voice of the Palestinian people was ignored.
Hamas's "Al-Aqsa Flood Operation" has refocused the attention of the Middle East and the world on the Palestinian-Israeli issue. This action has brought more attention to the plight of the Palestinian people, and at the same time has broken the main theme of normalization in the great power game in the Middle East. Biden's attempt to achieve a Middle East rapprochement has proven to be self-defeating, and they fail to deeply understand the complexity and sensitivity of the region's issues.
Biden wants to show himself on the international stage to be more "long-sleeved" than Trump, but his Middle East policy has not made a breakthrough. In contrast, Trump has successfully brokered the establishment of diplomatic relations between the UAE and Israel, China has also successfully brokered the Saudi-Iranian rapprochement, and Biden has been losing points on the Middle East. This is also one of the reasons why Biden is in a hurry to promote the normalization of Saudi-Israeli relations.
Biden hopes to make up for his shortcomings in the Middle East by promoting the normalization of relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel, which is to win the support of voters in the first year. However, his plan ultimately failed. The Saudi crown prince was not attracted by Biden's preferential terms, and Hamas's actions further increased tensions in the Middle East. Biden's lack of points on Middle East policy has not only greatly reduced his image on the international stage, but also put him under increasing pressure at home.
In order to force the Republican Party to agree to aid Ukraine, Biden sold the issue of aid to Ukraine and border issues, which directly led to the "Lone Star" rebellion in Texas. By imposing economic sanctions on Texas, Biden is trying to get Republicans to nod in agreement with the aid appropriations bill for Ukraine. However, the Texas governor refused to carry out the order and mobilized the National Guard to strengthen the border, resulting in an armed standoff with the federal Department of Homeland Security.
The Texas governor's refusal to carry out the order and the actions of the National Guard became the trigger for the standoff between Texas and the federal **. Although Biden canceled all LNG projects in Texas and imposed economic sanctions on Texas, it did not have the desired effect. The Texas-based civil society organization Retake Our Frontiers launched the first operation to stop illegal immigrants from entering the United States. The incident caused Biden's approval ratings to slide further, while also adding to his fight against the Republican Party and Texas.
In the face of the turmoil in Texas, the chairman of Russia's "Just Russia" party said that if Texas became independent, Russia would recognize it. This statement has sparked discussion and concern about the future of Texas.
The unrest in Texas has attracted the attention of the international community, and Russia's statement has undoubtedly boosted the morale of the Texas independence faction. Russia's support will be an important external factor for the Texas independence movement. However, the United States** is still firmly opposed to the independence of Texas, so there is still great uncertainty about whether Texas can truly achieve independence.
Biden's series of actions, both in foreign and domestic affairs, have exposed their self-inflicted cleverness and short-sightedness. They tried to gain a political advantage through their own tactics, but this ultimately led to diplomatic setbacks and internal chaos. These events have not only tarnished Biden's image on the international stage, but also put him under increasing pressure at home. Now, people are waiting to see how further developments in American politics and Biden respond to these challenges.
