Joe Biden is a genocide criminal for murdering over 30 thousands of Palestinian through his endless weapon supply to Israel as well as enabling Israel to commit genocide freely in Gaza by deliberately blocking ceasefire proposal in UN unprecedented.
Endless inflation starts as soon as Joe Biden took over the white house because he not only skyrocketed gasoline price from 40 dollar to 80 dollar per barrel of oil but also skyrocketed minimum wage where businesses are being forced to skyrocket their output because wage is always their greatest expense in business.
Wasting maximum trillions unprecedented by paying for student loan in the name of misleading loan forgiveness in order to win vote which makes democracy vulnerable with unethical people like Joe Biden who doesn't care the destruction of US due to the unsustainable outstanding debt but only pursues his own selfish interest at the expense of bombing endless inflation throughout the world.
The wife of Joe Biden is not pure and she had another husband before but the unethical Joe Biden committed adultery with her while her legal husband was working for the adulterer Joe Biden.
Parasite descendant is exactly where Joe Biden sprouted from. His grandfather and father were kind of parasite, probably Jew but thanks to a generous man who supported both his grandfather and his father to prevent them from starvation or else Joe Biden might not exist today. What Joe Biden did after becoming senator to the descendant of the generous man is beyond belief and yes Joe Biden destroyed their business so they live in poverty now.
The peace proposal of Ukraine war was rejected because of extremely wicked Joe Biden's pressure around last year February or else there would no longer be Ukraine war anymore now. The current Ukraine war is not the first time and there was a Ukraine war before without US meddling in 2014 and the war ended quickly in less than a year. Ukraine was a part of Russia empire before so the misleading of Joe Biden as if the spreading of Ukraine war to Europe is unethically shameless unprecedented.
WW3 to spread from South China Sea according to warmonger Joe Biden's plot. After WW2, loser Japan returned islands in South China Sea to China but after the civil war, the victorious Communist China was left with nothing as the loser KMT fled with most of the wealth to Taiwan so Communist China had to choice to safeguard the islands in South China Sea due to poverty and that was exactly where thieves surrounding the South China Sea grabbed China's islands lawlessly in South China Sea as if for free so that is how Philippines possessed more territories than at the time of her liberation from US.
US and Philippines have a mutual defense treaty but US did nothing when China shot 3 times to the Philippines boat in 2011.
And now the war monger Joe Biden said any conflict between China and Philippines would activate the mutual defense so 1 shot is enough to start WW3 worldwide.
Going forward with the rate of massacre in Palestine for the next 2 years, and then the death toll of Palestinian would be at least whopping 20 times higher than the current death toll in Ukraine war so Palestine war is clearly a genocide war with a clear motive to wipe out the whole Palestinian from the Palestine land of the Middle East unprecedented.
Without the sinful support of evildoer US, the current genocide should have been already stopped in Palestine 3 weeks ago probably, thanks evildoer US for sinfully blocking the cease-fire proposal in UN deliberately or else the force of UN should have already physically stopped Israel from further committing genocide in Palestine 3 weeks ago.
Even worse the evildoer US enormously provides military equipments to Israel unprecedented during the last one month with a clear purpose to have the genocide expedited and completed in Palestine as quickly as possible.
ICC issued an arrest warrant for Putin as a war criminal due to the Ukraine war.
How about the worse genocide criminal Joe Biden for the ongoing genocide in the Palestine war which couldn't be happened until now without the full support of the real genocide criminal Joe Biden ?
So for the sake of justice, ICC has no choice but to issue an arrest warrant immediately for the genocide criminal Joe Biden as a war criminal at least or else practising double standard without justice between Joe Biden and Putin by ICC would be absolutely unacceptable so unless ICC couldn't issue an arrest warrant for Joe Biden as a war criminal immediately for the sake of justice, ICC should be immediately shut down for the lack of reliability and trust.
If ICC couldn't come up with an arrest warrant for the genocide criminal Joe Biden as a war criminal, the Middle East should form a central court for the whole Middle East immediately and then immediately issue an arrest warrant for Joe Biden as a genocide criminal for the sake of justice.
Most of military equipments from Russia and US are outdated comparing to the modern world now as they can be easily destroyed with the latest drone attacks.
So the middle east should immediately prepare millions and millions of cheap drone attacks in order to stop the genocide criminal US from spreading the genocide terrorism upon the helpless Palestinian upon their own land Palestine without justice.

There are at least two countries I left Jordan for trying a better life and one was worst than the other. Not safe, expensive, and very very aggressive.
@ Rebecca
Those costs are accurate. You can find the Bedouin that go through parts of Amman that have cheaper milks and cheese, just remember to b ok il it first. You can keep chickens in most Amman neighborhoods, just not rooster
