Biden’s Failed Foreign Policy

The attack this weekend in the Middle East against our brave military was a reminder of the growing dangers to the United States. Three U.S. military personnel were killed and more than 40 were wounded in a drone strike against U.S. forces based in Jordan.

Joe Biden’s weakness and his cowardly foreign policy put them in harm’s way. Biden and left-wing progressives, going back to the Obama/Biden era, have spent years attempting to appease Iran, the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.

While the left is trying to appease Iran, they continue to wage a culture war against Middle America. They have made that clear in their constant attacks on our country and our founders. Maybe that’s why the Biden administration doesn’t defend us at the border or overseas.

Biden expressed less anger at the radical Islamists who killed three Americans and wounded dozens more than he routinely shows against those who want to make America great again.

We desperately need a clear, commonsense America First foreign policy. The foreign policy establishment’s approach over the past 20 years has failed.

When we went into Afghanistan and Iraq, our soldiers did everything they were told to do. We won on the battlefield, but we ended up not winning the conflict in either country because our brave men and women in uniform were undercut by our politicians.

We refused to identify the enemy (radical Islam) and instead declared war on a method of warfare (terrorism). They refused to let our troops fight to win. The politicians and bureaucrats drained our treasury with these “no-win wars.”

Predictably, the policies fail to sustain public support. All we get out of this type of weak-kneed interventionism is dead heroes, more debt and our sons and daughters returning home without limbs.

I want to strike back hard against the radical Islamists who killed our soldiers. But, ultimately, that alone is not going to work unless we rediscover the basics and are prepared to follow through to victory.

America is tired of nation-building in Third World hell holes. We’re tired of sacrificing our sons and daughters on the battlefield when our political leadership will not back them up. No wonder the Pentagon can’t meet its recruiting goals.

That’s what Senator Lindsay Graham and other hawks should be focused on: Why does the diplomatic and military leadership keep failing us?
