Biden Sees Danger

In his Memorial Day remarks at Arlington Cemetery, President Biden warned the crowd, “Democracy itself is in peril. Here at home and around the world.”

I agree that free nations are facing growing threats around the world, but you would never know it by looking at Biden’s foreign policy. Our allies Japan, Australia, Taiwan, as well as many other nations are being threatened and bullied by communist China. Biden signals weakness in response. 

The most vibrant free nation in the Middle East is Israel, but Biden is begging for a deal with Iran’s mullahs who regularly promise to wipe Israel off the face of the earth.

Ukraine’s young democracy is under severe pressure from Russian troops massed on its borders. But Biden gives the green light to a Russian gas pipeline that will make our European allies more dependent on Putin’s tender mercies. 

Biden’s new budget makes massive increases in every government agency and program with two notable exceptions: the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security. 

Do any of these polices make sense if Biden believes democracy and freedom are facing grave threats?
