<p class="wp-block-paragraph">President Biden’s threat to the national security AND personal safety comes in three major policy areas – reduced law enforcement, open borders and foreign policy. ; Whether his failure to address crime is incompetence, malfeasance or diminished mental capacity is arguable. ; We just know that he is not doing his job to protect the American people. ; In the first and second installments of the three-part series, we dealt with reduced law enforcement and the immigration problem. ; In this commentary, we take up foreign policy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Foreign policy</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The primary responsibility of the federal government – and the President of the United States – is to protect American citizens from all foreign threats. ; To do that, the United States must maintain its position as a world leader – with indisputably the strongest military in the world. ; It is the adage that a strong offense is the best defense.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Biden is not the first President to weaken America’s leadership in the world. ; Past presidents have all assured the American people – and more importantly, the rest of the world – that America has the most powerful military in the world.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Unfortunately, when there was a need to use it and prove it, America failed to live up to the bragging. ; It does not seem that the most powerful military in the world should have lost every war since the great victory of World War II. ; We settled with a draw in Korea – and clearly lost in Vietnam and Syria. ;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In 1991, we forced Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait, but we failed to drive him out of power. ; That led to led to the second Iraq War, which succeeded in toppling Hussein &#8212; but then we lost the post war “peace” and America waged another war of attrition for another eight years at which time America basically surrendered.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But none of these foreign policy failures and partial failures impacted as much on the reputation and leadership of the United States as Biden’s unilateral surrender in Afghanistan. ; It shook the confidence in our allies and empowered the adventurism of our adversaries. ; It was a monumental human tragedy for the Afghan people</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Biden’s decision created a greater danger for the American people – not only in America but for those who serve or live abroad. ; By strengthening the recruitment and deployment of American-hating terrorists, Biden has made attacks on Americans more likely – perhaps inevitable.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In a small way, we already saw one such attack when Malik Faisal Akram, a Muslim foreign national, who was on the British terrorist watch list, took four hostages at a synagogue in Texas to win the release of an imprisoned terrorist serving an 85-year sentence. ; The FBI managed to kill him without any harm to the hostages. ; His recorded message called upon Muslim brother to comet to America to commit acts of terror. ; There may well be some taking up his malignant invitation. ; It serves as notice that the Muslim terrorists are not forgetting about their Jihad against America.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Thanks to Biden’s surrender in Afghanistan, America lost an ally, access to natural assets, an on-the-ground intelligence network and a strategically important military base.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It was predicted at the time that Biden’s action would send a signal of American weakness to friends and foes alike. ; That is already happening.  ; Virtually every adversary is talking tough – threatening &#8212; and taking actions against the best interests and national security of the United States. ; ;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">North Korea is test launching missiles that can reach the United States. ; China is moving into Afghanistan – and threatening the United States against any action in the South China Sea. ; There is talk that Biden’s display of American weakness has Chinese President Xi Jinping looking more covetously at Taiwan.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The diminution of American leadership and power has our allies in NATO less willing to take up American interests. ; Biden’s call for allies to place sanctions on Russia if Putin invades Ukraine is getting a mixed response from such NATO nations as France and Germany. ; So far, Germany has not indicated a willingness to shut down the Russian pipeline as a punishment. ; There is even talk that some NATO countries may not sanction Russia if there was only a “minor incursion” – the kind Biden all but invited in his one-year anniversary speech.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Having lost one ally in his first year, Biden is about to lose another – Ukraine. ; No one really believes that there are enough sanctions to make Putin set aside his desire to take Ukraine into his new Soviet Union. ; Under Biden’s leadership, the United States will fail to exert effective leadership – and the world will become a much more dangerous place for Americans.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The loss of world leadership may not seem like an immediate threat to the lives and well-being of the average American citizen, but the suffering will be felt in economic strangulation as we will no longer are able to compete as effectively in the world market.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It will be felt with Russia, China, North Korea and Iran freely attacking the United States with cyber warfare, Internet meddling in elections and disruption campaigns on social media. ; ;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What happens overseas has a direct impact on the security and safety of every American citizen. ; Having lost world leadership, it may be more difficult to restore America’s strength and leadership in the eyes of the world than fix the crime and immigration fiascos. ; But Biden is not working on any of them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Summary of the three-part series</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Though America’s decline and vulnerability has been occurring over several presidential administrations, it has never suffered more serious damage in such a short time as it has under Biden’s spineless ineptitude. ; These three policy disasters – crime, immigration and foreign policy – stand out as the most dangerous among a number of other failures. ; His response to the Covid Pandemic has resulted in more deaths on Biden’s watch than on Trump’s – even though Biden has had the vaccine as the primary tool for his entire presidency. ; His policy to stimulate the economy at a time it was already over heating contributed to the worst inflation in 60 years. ; ;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In only one year, Biden has degraded American security and the people’s personal safety. ; There is an uneasiness in knowing that he will be in office for three more years – and even if he does not complete his term, the next in line may be an even more inept and dangerous person.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, there ‘tis.</p>
