So far the ceasefire is holding.Biden finally reined in Netanyahu ... hopefully.
The Times reports, "The cease-fire between Israel and Hamas held fast through its first day and into Saturday morning in the Middle East, while residents across Gaza began to assess for the first time the scale of the damage wrought by the latest round of conflict."
Today, Biden turned his attention to Asia.
ABC News reports, "Despite fighting in the Middle East dominating headlines this week, President Joe Biden on Friday kept his focus on Asia while hosting South Korea's president at the White House for his second in-person meeting with a foreign leader since he took office.
"On the campaign trail and since taking office, Biden has made clear that U.S. competition with China has shaped his view of the world, and the fact that his second meeting was with Moon reflected the emphasis Biden's administration was putting on Asia. The only other leader Biden has hosted at the White House was from Asia, too: Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga."
Biden knows he needs China's help in curbing the ambitions of Kim Jong-un, North Korea's ruler.
Biden also knows he has to minimize the damage done by Trump.
In 2016, the communist dictator of Russia, Vladimir Putin, did all he could to get Trump elected President of the United States. At the end of his Presidency, Trump assailed American elections and incited an insurgency against the American government. Trump continues his assault on our free elections to this day to the delight of his cult. Putin got what he wanted from Trump.
By the strangest of circumstances, Trump granted to the communist dictator of North Korea exactly what he wanted -- full-fledged diplomatic conversations with the President of the United States. That had been the goal of North Korean rulers for nearly six decades.
To the every lasting embarrassment of the American people and the Pentagon, Trump traveled to North Korea for one of those conversations.
Trump got absolutely nothing for his treacherous diplomacy.
Thank God we have Joe Biden as President. He knows exactly what must be done.
