Biden bashing

-

Robert Gates, who was the Secretary of Defense, during the Obama/ Biden administra­tion, wrote in his 2014 memoir, “Joe Biden has been wrong about nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the last four decades.”

Considerin­g the law of averages, that is a really bad record — even a clock is right twice a day. Most recently, Biden criticized Trump for killing the Iranian mastermind behind the terror attacks in Iraq which killed dozens of US service members. Biden also tried to dissuade Obama when he launched the operation that killed Osama Bin Laden.

Biden voted for the Iraq War, but voted against Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative during the 80s, which was instrument­al in bringing down the Soviet Union. Biden spearheade­d the withdrawal of troops from Iraq in 2011, which led to the rise of ISIS. Biden continues to defend the Iran nuclear deal, which merely postponed Iran’s acquisitio­n of a nuclear weapon — now only months away according to experts.

As his faculties decline and he relies more on “progressiv­es” (who fawn over the likes of Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez), it seems as though the world will become a more dangerous place come January 2021. Standby as we watch China flex its increasing­ly military might — I hope the Taiwanese are ready, and wait for Iran and Israel forces to engage in open warfare, as opposed to their proxies in the Middle East.

The bad actors have no respect for Biden as will soon become clear.
