Surprised? … Not Me!

Let’s be very clear from the beginning. I agreed with Robert Gates, former defense secretary in the Obama administration, when he said that Joe Biden has “been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.” (Aug 16, 2021)

Gates said that almost two years ago, and I think that JB has done nothing to break his streak. Since he has been President, Joe Biden has botched our withdrawal from Afghanistan, embarrassing the U.S. for the entire world to see. While Putin was lining up a myriad of forces along the Russia-Ukraine border, President Biden imitated Nero who historically fiddled … for you liberal Democrats this implies that JB basically did nothing to address the issue. As a consequence of his inaction the Russia-Ukraine War started on 2/24/22, and we have been involved in a proxy war ever since.

On 2/20/23 I read two things that just further entrenches my opinion that President Biden is trying to maintain his streak of “being wrong on nearly every foreign policy and national security issue.” 

First off from Coffee & Covid:

News emerged over the weekend that, after the Russians had nearly captured Kiev in 2022, the Ukrainians had agreed to a peace deal that would have kept their territory intact, but precluded NATO membership. A draft treaty had even been circulated.

But, according to newly-released documents, the Biden Administration interfered, and the Ukrainians were committed to endless war.

OMG? Biden kept his streak alive!

Surprised? … Not me!

Second from Daybreak Insider:

“Secretary of State Anthony Blinken gives China the green light to invade Taiwan during his visit to Beijing, China. “We do not support Taiwan independence.” What a pivot from Biden’s previous comments from just months ago. What happened? “Yes, if in fact, there was an unprecedented attack,” Biden said after being asked if he would defend Taiwan from a Chinese invasion.”

OMG! Either Blinken is independently speaking his own mind, or Biden is waffling. FYI, the initial heavy betting is on “waffling.” 

Surprised? …not me!
