BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.
Sheikh Qassem: The government’s latest decision [on the disarmament of the Resistance] is non-charter-based, and if the government continues down this path, it is not faithful to Lebanon’s sovereignty.

WSJ: Biden should avoid public speaking

“These are dangerous times and we would all be much safer if Biden would make greater use of prepared statements on subjects such as, for example, weapons of mass destruction,” WSJ said.

US President Joe Biden, who vowed to make America and the world calm, steady, after four years of “crazy” Donald Trump, seems to do exactly the opposite.

It is clear now that after one year and two months in office, Biden is increasingly criticized internally and internationally with the White House having a lot on its plate as it cleans up Biden’s continuous slips, especially during such crucial times.

In an opinion piece for The Wall Street Journal, James Freeman said that “some issues are just too important to be left to an unscripted Joe Biden,” adding “these are dangerous times and we would all be much safer if Mr. Biden would make greater use of prepared statements on subjects such as, for example, weapons of mass destruction”.

As a sample of one of Biden’s many slip-ups, Freeman cited his January statement about a more restrained US response in the event of a "minor invasion" of Ukraine by Russia. Furthermore, the journalist drew attention to Biden's statement that if the Russian military used chemical weapons in Ukraine, Washington "would respond."

As a result, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan was forced to rush and clarify that the US "has no intention of using chemical weapons under any circumstances, period."

“But this particular elected official does not appear to be up to the task. While we consider the implications, Mr. Biden should try to say as little as possible in public during an international crisis,” he tersely stated.

Freeman went on to sarcastically added that “this presents a unique challenge since he happens to be the sitting president of the United States”.

Just like Trump would often slip and reveal true hidden agenda of US foreign policy, here Biden confirms to the world that objective of proxy war in Ukraine is to force regime change in Russia—a goal of neocons for nearly 20 years and why US is apathetic toward ceasefire talks. https://t.co/Pv3k1QulZt

"Of course, presidential silence is not a long-term strategy but right now the world doesn’t need more Biden misstatements on issues as consequential as weapons of mass destruction," he concluded.
