John Kirby Attributes Failure Of Biden's Humanitarian Aid Pier To 'Severe Weather'

Posted • June 18, 2024: President Joe Biden's temporary floating pier meant to speed the delivery of humanitarian aid to Palestinians was being towed to a new location because of high seas. "Today, due to expected high seas, the temporary pier will be removed from its anchored position in Gaza and towed back to Ashdod, Israel," U.S. Central Command tweeted. https://twitchy.com/dougp/2024/06/15/this-is-the-current-status-of-bidens-360-million-at-least-gaza-pier-currently-not-near-gaza-n2397307 -- Who knew there'd be waves?

Why wasn't this taken into consideration when it was built? They didn't have time to do an environmental impact study on the effects of climate change. Underwhelming demonstration of situational awareness.

Really the pier is a microcosm of the entire Biden administration. It really is. It was someone in the administration's bright idea to build a humanitarian aid pier for Israel's enemies Gaza in order to placate the "Genocide Joe" voters in Dearborn. Put U.S. troops into a warzone to build a pier without ever touching boots on the ground. Maybe if Hamas would stop firing on humanitarian aid corridors on land, some of the trucks full of aid backed up could make it an and be looted by Hamas. (…)
