Biden’s Saudi Arabia problem
Mar. 1 - In the early stages of his candidacy, President Biden was emphatic. Under his administration, Saudi officials implicated in the operation that led to the grisly death of dissident Jamal Khashoggi should “pay the price,” Biden said during a Democratic debate, adding that his government would “make them in fact the pariah that they are.” This wasn’t just a barbed jab at a particular coterie of Saudi elites, most prominently Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Biden said he found “very little social redeeming value” in the Saudi government, a longtime U.S. ally, as a whole. continue to

American airstrikes on Syria sheer overkill
Mar. 1 - “America is back. America is back!” proclaims US President Joe Biden. Indeed, America is back, back bombing eastern Syria. Bombing pro-Iranian militias which Biden accuses of mounting strikes on Iraqi bases housing US forces and on Baghdad’s fortified Green Zone where the US embassy is located. However, the militiamen targeted were far from the sites of the attacks and were not involved. Biden chose to hit them in Syria because to bomb them in Iraq would ruffle Iraqi feathers. Syria has become a shooting gallery for US leaders seeking to demonstrate that they are prepared to be tough with those they deem enemies.
The first airstrikes in Biden’s presidency are likely to ramp up rather than de-escalate tensions between Washington and Tehran at a time of rising friction due to the uncertainty of the US return to the 2015 agreement limiting Iran’s nuclear programme in exchange for lifting sanctions. Biden has repeatedly given the impression this would be a priority once he took office but he is wavering, creating new problems, and delaying.
US spokesmen say Biden’s strikes were intended to send a message to Tehran to curb Iraqi Shia militias which have mounted numerous rocket salvos on sites hosting US military and civilian personnel. The US has blamed Kataeb Hizbullah and has retaliated with aerial bombings on Iraqi soil. more details

Johnson & Johnson’s Covid-19 vaccine to start shipping soon, but early supply could be uneven
Mar. 1 - WASHINGTON — Health care providers will begin receiving the first 3.9 million doses of Johnson & Johnson’s newly authorized Covid-19 vaccine as early as Tuesday morning, though supply will be uneven in the coming weeks, senior Biden administration officials said.
The first shipments account for the entirety of J&J’s current inventory. Officials expect another 16 million doses to be available by the end of March, though J&J told the federal government that the doses will be delivered mostly toward the second half of the month.
“We do not expect any additional deliveries next week and we expect deliveries to be uneven during the weeks of March. We’re getting doses out the door as soon as they’re available to ensure vaccines get into the arms as quickly as possible,” one senior administration official said.
The federal government has purchased 100 million doses of the J&J vaccine, which requires only a single shot, but supplies are expected to be scarce until at least April. The vaccine will be sent beginning Sunday night, one day after its emergency use authorization by the Food and Drug Administration. source fr
