Kristof: Biden won't point to the real culprit in the Sudanese genocide
Briefly

Secretary of State Antony Blinken made the welcome announcement about the genocide determination on Tuesday, asserting that a militia called the Rapid Support Forces has targeted women for rape and slaughtered children and infants, all based on the ethnicity of the victims.
Blinken announced that the United States would impose sanctions on the leader of the Rapid Support Forces and seven companies the militia owns in the United Arab Emirates.
The UAE has provided the Rapid Support Forces with the weaponry that enables its mass slaughter and mass rape. Biden's failure to call out the UAE in strong terms for fueling these mass atrocities seems a reflection of his belief in quiet diplomacy.
Mass suffering continues in Sudan and Gaza alike because leaders appear to have learned that they can ignore Biden when all he offers is carrots and no sticks.
