Biden's Foreign Policy is a Disaster
Biden foreign policy is the extension of the Obama’s foreign policy and in comparison with the Trump years, there is no comparison for Trump era was superior to both Obama and Biden’s years. In the Obama years, Russian took a piece of Ukraine while Joe Biden’s son was making money working with corrupt oligarchies. Obama never viewed Ukraine as part of our national interest and while you can debate the merit of his views, the 1994 Budapest accord made it clear that Ukraine sovereignty would be respected in exchange of giving its nuclear stockpiles. Obama essentially ignored the Budapest accord.
Obama Middle East policy was to appeased Iran and work on the false assumption that Iran could be a partner of stability in the Middle East. Obama pull out in Iraq would be the model for Biden’s disastrous Afghan retreat. Obama declared victory and ISIS ended up in control of good portion of Iraq in quick order and Syria ignored Obama’s redline on use of chemical weapons. Obama had to send troops back in.
When Trump came into office, ISIS was in control of significant territory, Russia was embedded in the Middle East after decades of foreign policy keeping Russia out, Iran was going for a nuclear weapon and collecting money courtesy of Obama’s administration and using that largess to sponsor terrorism. Russia penetrated Ukraine and the world was less safe.
Under Trump, ISIS defeated and due to reimposition of sanctions, Iran economy was in a shambles. Trump left Biden’s administration with the Abraham accord in which Israel making peace with Sunni states against Iran. Europe was quiet and no Russian further encroachment of Ukraine. Trump left Biden’s with a more peaceful world.
Now the world is on fire, thanks to incompetence of the Biden’s administration and it should be noted, Biden followed Obama initiative in the Middle East of appeasing Iran and providing Iran with the money to create instability once again in the Middle East. The present Israeli war against Hamas is the direct of results of Obama/Biden foreign policy and the disastrous pull out of Afghanistan left billions of dollars of military equipment in the hands of the Taliban. Putin viewed the rest of Ukraine fair game after the Afghanistan pullout and Biden’s weakness led to the worse military conflict in Europe since World War II and the war still in doubt as the debate on further aid is in jeopardy. The Middle East war has expanded to Yemen threatening our trade routes, Hezbollah raining missiles on Northern Israel along with Gaza. Iran launched their own attack from their soil directly against Israel.
Our border is a disaster as 8 million plus have crossed the border into the United States and we have an immigration policy that has at least two illegal immigrants coming into the United States compared to one legal immigrant. This is unstainable.
We were told that Biden’s administration were the grown-ups to bring normalcy and “sound foreign policy” but they have failed to bring normalcy and their foreign policy has been a disaster. Decline is a choice for nations and the Biden administration is choosing decline.
