Breaking Defense: Israel Rejects US Plan To Inspect Chinese Harbor At Haifa
TEL AVIV: Israel has refused an American request to inspect the new Chinese-built Haifa port that will be operated for the next 25 years by SIPG, a Chinese company. This is being seen in both countries as a test case of Israel’s relationship with China and with the United States.
Israeli officials declined to comment on the story, first reported by the Israeli daily newspaper, Haaretz.
The domestic political chaos here has pushed the issue onto the backburner. But after the March elections — the fourth in less than two years — the new government must deal with the problem.
Sources here say the Biden administration will raise the issue again. President Biden has not yet called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu; he has called many other world leaders.

WNU Editor: The Israelis do not want the U.S. to nosy around. And while I can understand Israel's position that it is protecting its sovereignty, I thought there was suppose to be a special relationship between the U.S. and Israel when it comes to issues of national security. I guess I am wrong.

ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of angles to this development. And none of them are good.
ReplyDeleteThe Biden administration is peopled with morons and Joe Biden is King Daddy Moron.
ReplyDeleteHow is Israel contracting with China for harbor service different than the Dubai port deal or Joe Biden allowing China into the America electrical grid?
Biden Makes U.S. Power Grid Vulnerable to China Again
WNU ran a blogpost in the past week about China being able to be part of the American power grid. Are we being trolled by the blogger?
Why should Israel bow down to Joe Biden, who hates Israel and Netahyahu even more, when Biden gets the bulk of his family's money from China and Biden allows China into the American electrical grid?
There are leading and lagging indicators. A leading indicator would be contracting for port services or having supplies staged. American warships do make port calls to Israel. Probably because it is after than Egypt or Turkey. That and America is an ally of Israel when there is a Republican president.
China is in the port deal simply for the money. There are secondary benefits and China intends to use them. Most employees at Haifa will be Israeli. Just like most American ports run by the UAE have American employees. But there is that risk for America and Israel.
But we take that risk all the time, so why only call out Israel. We know why.

So the US military cannot use Chinese part, but the whole damn American electrical grid can use them.
Joe Biden is indeed King Daddy Moron.
North Korea, Iran, Russia or China would never need to use an EMP, China will just throw a switch, because of King Daddy Moron.
If you run a port, you could know ships movement (Or you could watch officer's wives).

Or you could go Russian ... to get ship's signatures or something.

This is an excellent case of the US caught in a trap of it's own making.
ReplyDelete"Early indicators are that there won’t be much difference between what the Trump Administration did, though the tone may be different."
ReplyDeleteSo China Joe may have a different tone. China Joe seems to have a harsh tone. We were always told that Trump's tone was wrong. Trump did not have a harsh tone and he gor things done.
"Two weeks after US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met with Netanyahu and warned against Chinese involvement in Israeli projects, the Chinese company lost the bid. "
Joe Biden is the the Obama 3rd term. He is the puppet that keeps getting his prostrate checked by someone. When did Netanyahu meet with Putin? During Obama's terms. Why? Because of Obama's harsh tone among other things.
ReplyDeleteMy money is on it will get done. You won't read it in the press.
U2 lyric method of trolling at 11:04
ReplyDeleteMy money is that 11:04 and 11:46 are the same troll.
ReplyDeleteHaha why would they share secrets with the US? Because people think they are buddy's? There are no buddy's in statecraft.
ReplyDelete"I thought there was suppose to be a special relationship between the U.S. and Israel when it comes to issues of national security. I guess I am wrong."
ReplyDeleteYes, because that worked out well with the Iranian nuclear deal, didn't it?
^^^^This
DeleteSounds like a hedging strategy at play...
ReplyDeleteIf that is the case, I expect to see more interaction with the Chinese, but still at arms arm's length, so as to not provoke America too much.
Sounds like a hedging strategy at play...
ReplyDelete^^^^^^^^
Said better than I did.
we saw Netanyahu meet with Putin and people were alarmed. But considering that Netanyahu had to deal with shitshow Obama, hedging makes a lot of sense.
There are a lot of people in democart govs that don't like Israel or Jews for that matter. The Israelis are covering their bases because the Chinese can do things like this for cheap, no one else can. Any country that can build hundreds of hospitals in a week can build anything.
ReplyDeleteALL THE ANTI DEM BULLSHIT POSTED HERE IS STUPID. THAT WORK ALL DONE UNDER TRUMP. GET REAL
ReplyDeleteYou put it as only you can.
DeleteJack, Fred, troll, whoever the hell you are, if you would have read the article, Trump did get the Israelis to pull out of a project with China. Between th2 projects, harbor and desalinization plant, the plant was the more critical one to US interests. I assume this to be so for the possible telemetry data that could have surreptitiously collected. Pompeo got that done quietly.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Israelis would have built their own port if so many Israelis were not deep state or socialist.
Please know that we hold you, the stupidest commenters here at this blog in the highest disregard.
You truly are are wonder of the world. It is amazing that a person as stupid as you could exist.
Fwed wan, wan away.
