Did Biden lie about his foreign policy prowess?

&NewLine;<p>Since he has had a lot of opportunities to be involved in foreign policy events and discussions&comma; I suppose it is not a Pinocchio-level lie to brag about it – maybe even exaggerate his roles&period;&nbsp&semi; But throughout the campaign&comma; Biden repeatedly assured the American people that the handling of foreign policy was one of his strong points&period;&nbsp&semi; He knew how to deal with the complex world of diplomacy&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Like Trump before him&comma; Biden tended to brag about his relationships with various world leaders&period;&nbsp&semi; He often mentions the 17&comma;000 miles he traveled with China President Xi Jinping&period;&nbsp&semi; Of course&comma; that claim got him some real Pinocchios from the <em>Washington Post<&sol;em>&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Now that America has entrusted Biden with our foreign affairs&comma; we can see how he is doing&period;&nbsp&semi; Hmmm&period;&nbsp&semi; It appears Biden may have flimflammed us with all that reassurance&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p><strong>Afghanistan<&sol;strong><&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>There can be no doubt that Biden badly botched the withdrawal from Afghanistan&period;&nbsp&semi; The White House now contends that such an action was going to be very messy and chaotic&period;&nbsp&semi; It was unavoidable&period;&nbsp&semi; That is just the nature of the beast&period;&nbsp&semi; Nonsense&period;&nbsp&semi; It was ill-planned&comma; ill-timed&comma; and ill-executed&period;&nbsp&semi; We never got the Americans out as he promised&period;&nbsp&semi; We never got the thousands of Afghan friends out as he promised – and he got 13 of America’s finest killed&comma; along with hundreds of Afghans&period;&nbsp&semi; He once praised a drone strike that actually killed an Afghan aid worker and nine others – including seven children&period;&nbsp&semi; The withdrawal has upset our allies and cheered our adversaries&period;&nbsp&semi; Biden has enhanced the power and influence of terrorists across the globe – and consequently significantly reduced our security here and abroad&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p><strong>China<&sol;strong><&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>China is a major benefactor of the American withdrawal&period;&nbsp&semi; Xi Jinping has already recognized the Taliban government&period;&nbsp&semi; He has sent in experts to teach the Taliban how to use all the complex equipment and weaponry Biden left behind&period;&nbsp&semi; China has promised the Taliban financial support by purchasing valuable nature assets – including very rare and strategically critical minerals&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>In addition&comma; China is looking at the possibility of assuming control of Taiwan&period;&nbsp&semi; Taiwan is not a nation&period;&nbsp&semi; Still&comma; America has supplied military equipment to Taiwan and has signed a defense treaty&period;&nbsp&semi; Since the Afghan withdrawal&comma; China has openly mocked the idea that America will defend Taiwan under any circumstances – telling the Taiwanese that they have no dependable friend in Washington&period;&nbsp&semi; They are probably right&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Biden has done nothing but talk regarding China’s extending sovereignty over the South China Sea&period;&nbsp&semi; And Biden has yet to reveal how he plans to combat China’s unfair trade practices&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p><strong>North Korea<&sol;strong><&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Kim Jong-un has resumed his aggressive military posturing&period;&nbsp&semi; He has returned to testing intercontinental ballistic missiles&period;&nbsp&semi; All the agreements Trump had won from Kim are now null and void&period;&nbsp&semi; Not only does that include the pause in the long-range missile program&comma; but the return of the remains of America’s missing in action and the stopping of supplying terrorist groups in the Middle East with weaponry&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p><strong>Pakistan<&sol;strong><&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Pakistan has always been a fair-weather friend&period;&nbsp&semi; Their western regions have long been havens for both al Qaeda and ISIS&period;&nbsp&semi; It is the country in which Osama bin Ladin was hiding for years&period;&nbsp&semi; Pakistan government does not see the Taliban as mortal enemies&period;&nbsp&semi; With the terrorist organization back in control of Afghanistan and the United States exhibiting weakness on the world stage&comma; Pakistan will move further away from the United States&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p><strong>Russia<&sol;strong><&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Despite Biden’s claim that China and Russia would be happy to see America continue in Afghanistan&comma; Beijing and Moscow are celebrating the United States’ loss of power&comma; prestige and influence across the globe&period;&nbsp&semi; Russia sees American weakness and a green light for meddling in the Middle east in support of Iran and Syria&period;&nbsp&semi; Thanks to support from the Kremlin&comma; anti-American sentiment will be on the march&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p><strong>Iran<&sol;strong><&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Iran must be absolutely giddy with the Biden foreign policy&period;&nbsp&semi; They may again get that nuclear agreement that only delays their becoming a nuclear state&period;&nbsp&semi; They know that Iran can now expand its influence – its sponsorship of terrorism – throughout the Middle East&period;&nbsp&semi; Will Jordan or Lebanon be the next to fall&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p><strong>France<&sol;strong><&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Biden spent a lot of time criticizing Trump for undermining America’s relationship with our NATO allies&period;&nbsp&semi; But Biden has accomplished something that is unique&period;&nbsp&semi; He so badly – so ham-handedly – handled the atomic submarine deal with Australia – and so badly angered the French government – that French President Macron has called back the French ambassador to the United States&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>It was not just a trip home for consultation&comma; but an official withdrawal of the ambassador – and an expression of anger&period;&nbsp&semi; That has never been done in the past&period;&nbsp&semi; The anger is two-fold&period;&nbsp&semi; Biden did not inform the French ally of the deal – an incredible diplomatic <em>faux pas<&sol;em>&period;&nbsp&semi; The French are also upset because they have been denied the same atomic technology that is now going to Australia&period;&nbsp&semi; Britain already had the technology&comma; and France had every right to believe that they would be in line for an expansion of the policy&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p><strong>The southern border<&sol;strong><&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>One of the most fundamental international responsibilities of the federal government – and the President &&num;8212&semi; is to manage those who come to America for work&comma; school&comma; touring or permanent status&period;&nbsp&semi; Border security is existential&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Yet&comma; Biden has not only failed to protect the American border from illegal entrance&comma; but he has also imposed policies and given verbal encouragement to all who wish to come into America for any reason – for a better life or to engage in criminal or terrorist activities&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>As a result&comma; the Texas border has been overrun by tens of thousands of migrants&period;&nbsp&semi; Most have come from Haiti – which has suffered from official corruption&comma; natural disasters&comma; and the assassination of its president&period;&nbsp&semi; But not all the thousands huddling under a bridge are Haitians&period;&nbsp&semi; They come for many nations – having first gained sanctuary in Mexico&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>One Democrat Congressman called the migrants &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;human infrastructure” – intimating that they are already part of the American fabric&period;&nbsp&semi; What Biden has produced at the southern border is the worst immigration and border security issue in the history of the country&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p><strong>ISIS and al Qaeda<&sol;strong><&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Even though sworn enemies&comma; ISIS and al Qaeda profit greatly from the Biden foreign policy&period;&nbsp&semi; Their internecine war is merely a distraction from the primary objective the Muslim terrorism – to bring down the United States and western civilization through Jihadist warfare&period;&nbsp&semi; To some measure&comma; every terrorist organization in the world is stronger today than when Biden took office&period;&nbsp&semi; The ISIS Califate that Trump defeated and degraded is growing again&period;&nbsp&semi; Biden’s inept foreign policies have provided recruiting opportunities for all terrorist organizations – the Taliban&comma; ISIS&comma; al Qaeda&comma; Hama&comma; Hizballah&comma; Palestine Liberation Front&comma; al-Shabaab&comma; Boko Haram and the scores more listed by the U&period;S&period; State Department&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p><strong>Summary<&sol;strong><&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>In a mere eight months&comma;

he is withdrawing America from the pinnacle of world leadership&period;&nbsp&semi; As he surrendered Afghanistan to the Taliban&comma; Biden is surrendering America to the world leadership of China&period;&nbsp&semi; Quite a record for a man who has proclaimed himself the Master of International Diplomacy&period;&nbsp&semi; So&comma; where is the victory in the Biden foreign policy&quest;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>So&comma;
