Former Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, once remarked that Joe Biden has been wrong on every major foreign policy and national security issue for the last four decades. Clearly, Mr. Gates is still correct in his assessment.
To say that we are being governed by idiots is an understatement. The Biden Administration has blundered and bungled everything they have touched in the last seven months from the southern border, energy policy, inflation, COVID issues, and now this disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. Not long ago, Joe was touting the Afghan National Army as strong fighting force that would stand up to the Taliban. If you will forgive the cliché, the Afghan army folded like a cheap suit.
I have no doubt that the Pelosi spin machine will try, somehow, to blame President Trump for this massive failure, but as I recall, Mr. Trump had great success in the region defeating ISIS, establishing the Abraham Accords, ending the foolish Iran deal (that Joe wants to re-enter), killing the butcher Soleimani, and moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem. He also ended our dependence on Middle Eastern oil by making the U.S. energy independent. Joe messed that one up as well.
I realize that Mr. Trump wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but he did accomplish a lot of good for America. Team Joe seems determined to unravel all that and then some. Hopefully, the mid-terms will bring about a Republican led House and Senate. Only then will there be a measure of resistance to this out-of-control administration, however, I fear what damage will be wrought in the meantime
