and they are going to build this port (that needs to handle 300+ trucks daily) without an American putting a boot on the groundPsamathe wrote: ↑8 Mar 2024, 11:41am Is it just me or is Biden's "build a port" plan just total madness (and ill thought through)? There is already a port close by well serviced by roads - why not use that one? And the existing port could be used today rather than wait for a new port to be constructed.
Or just use the existing land distribution.
And if reports about Israel restricting aid through land routes is true, are they going to allow the US to build a port to bypass their restrictions?
I'm suspicious that Biden's announcement is more to try and counter the polling impact following the US primaries "Uncommitted" votes he's been seeing, to try and counter the negative US electorate reaction to his unwavering support for anything and everything Israel does and his continuing provision of arms.
