The NY Post Editorial Board said this:
If President Biden had any decency, he’d limit his United Nations
speech Tuesday to two words: “I’m sorry”.
Kamala Harris should echo that.
[President Barack] Obama Defense Secretary Robert Gates
once warned (all too rightly) that Biden had been
“wrong on nearly every major foreign-policy and
national-security issue over the past four decades.”
Over the past four years, Joe and Kam [Kamala Harris]
have continued that pattern, leaving the world
facing its most perilous threats in decades.
Start with the disastrous bugout [disorganized retreat]
from Afghanistan, executed in blatant defiance of every
military adviser and the plan left in place by the Trump team.
That bugout enabled the Taliban to triumphantly retake control
of the country, humiliating America and seizing billions
in weaponry our forces left behind —
erasing all the progress made in 20 years of fighting.
Worse, it sent the message that Washington can’t be trusted
as an ally, that aggressors could get away with almost anything.
And [Kamala] Harris brags that
she was the “last person in the room,”
backing Biden made when he made that fatal decision.
It was downhill from there:
[1] Russia seized the opportunity to launch a fresh invasion
of Ukraine as Biden signaled that, as a “minor incursion,”
would be OK; our president then slow-walked
aid and tied Kyiv’s hands on the use of US weapons.
[2] Iran ramped up its drive for nukes as Harris-Biden
sucked up to the regime, ending key Trump-era sanctions
that had strangled the Iranian economy
and sending billions to Islamic Republic outright.
[3] Its cashflow restored, Tehran upped its funding of
terror groups, and helped Hamas plan and launch the
October 7 [2023] massacre, triggering the Gaza war.
[4] Iran also boosted the Houthis, who have now
shut down the Red Sea to Western shipping.
[5] And Hezbollah, which has fired nearly 9,000 rockets
and drones at Israel since October 7 [2023]
and is now threatening an all-out war.
[6] China, meanwhile, has grown increasingly aggressive,
harassing neighbors like the Philippines and Taiwan,
militarizing islands in the South China Sea
and aiming to control shipping lanes.
Beijing has also reasserted its intention to
reclaim Taiwan soon — by force, if necessary.
[7] To make up for their self-destructive war on US oil,
and thinking dictator Nicholas Maduro would allow
a fair election, Harris and Biden lifted oil sanctions on Venezuela
— only to see Maduro steal this year’s election.
[8] [Joe] Biden and Border Czar [Kamala] Harris let in
millions of barely vetted migrants, overwhelming cities
and creating new crime and terror threats.
PERSONAL NOTE: Between 11,000,000 and 30,000,000 ILLEGAL ALIENS!!
[9] One of the scariest developments: the alignment of Iran,
China, Russia and North Korea against the West — even as
Team Harris-Biden has shrunk the US military
and focused it more on pronouns, less on fighting enemies.
Now the world’s on the brink of an all-out war
in the Middle East that could well rope in America.
And another if Russia defeats Ukraine and
then looks to expand its hegemony further.
And still another when China makes a play for Taiwan.
“Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f – – – things up,”
President Barack Obama reportedly warned years ago.
Sadly, America’s voters did just that in 2020,
and now the entire free world is paying the price.
