The Biden Doctrine

Just when it couldn't get worse:

U.S. Warns Iran of ‘Serious Risk’ if It Conducts Major Attack on Israel​

Yes, Joe Biden is at it again. In February 2022, Biden told Putin the US would not react if there was a minor Russian incursion into Ukraine. Ooops. Now Uncle Joey has warned Iran of the risk it runs if it conducts a "major attack" on Israel. What is a major attack? How many Israelis have to die, for it to be a major attack? This is yet another blunder that will result in war.

Should have simply said, "Don't". It has proven so effective in the past.

On August 15, 2021, Kabul fell. This was the beginning of the end for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. It was the most ignominious defeat of the United States in the history of the Republic.

 

[Gallipoli]

It gets worse.

"In addition to closing Bagram first, there are three additional questions about Biden’s competence. The first is the volume of US military equipment that has been left behind for the Taliban, including aircraft, hundreds of military Humvees and tens of thousands of rifles, rockets and night vision goggles. The second is whether Biden ignored intelligence estimates suggesting the Taliban could recapture power on a far more rapid timeline than the six to 18 months the White House was saying. The third is Biden’s failure to consult fully with Nato allies about the speed and logistics of the pull out. On all three, the decision ultimately boils down to the president."

And, this guy is a Biden supporter. With friends like the Financial Times, who needs enemies, ...like the Taliban.

This is a short list of every thing done wrong by Biden in Afghanistan. Don't forget, Biden should have never abandoned Bagram airbase. It allowed us to have a closer check on the Taliban, Afghanistan, China, Russia and Iran. Now China is effectively running Bagram. Biden placed the evacuation in the hands of the State Department and depended on the Taliban for security.

Iran has sent short-range ballistic missiles to Russia, a move that will give Moscow another potent military tool to use in the war against Ukraine and follows stern Western warnings not to provide those arms to Moscow, according to U.S. and European officials.

 

[Gallipoli]

What a joke. The Biden-Harris administration once again threatens Iran, this time because Iran has been supplying missiles to Russia.

Don't! Don't! Don't!

Summary of Biden/Harris approach to foreign policy.

BTW - Biden/Harris foreign policy gave Iran the revenue to finance this.

The House Foreign Affairs Committee has issued a report that is a 350-page indictment of President Biden’s choices at every point, a portrait of a Commander in Chief “determined to withdraw.” A litany of military advisers counseled that the Afghan government would collapse if the U.S. removed the small complement of 2,500 troops in country.

The withdrawal from Afghanistan was the defining moment of the Biden Administration. Here are a few points:

•There are still 7 US hostages in Afghanistan.
•A "significant amount of classified information was left to the Taliban” in the eventual rush to leave.
•The size of the U.S. Embassy Kabul instead grew during the retrograde,” owing to “a dogmatic insistence” on keeping a diplomatic footprint.
•The President’s refusal to maintain 2,500 troops meant the U.S. abandoned Bagram Air Base with its secure runway.
•That meant the evacuation had to be conducted in a panic from Kabul’s civilian airport, with security assistance from the Taliban.
•That nightmare resulted in 13 dead American service members from a suicide bomber.
•The report says “at least four Afghan civilians, including children,” fell to their deaths clinging to departing U.S. planes. The White House hailed the evacuation as if it were a Dunkirk-style triumph, when it was really a chaotic humiliation.
•ISIS is reconstituting in Afghanistan. The Biden Administration “has not conducted a single strike against ISIS-K since 2021,”

Most importantly the withdrawal from Afghanistan ended credible American strategic deterrence during the Biden Administration.

This directly led to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the attack by Hamas on Israel and increased hegemony by Iran and China.

Remember also that there is a now a "working" strategic partnership between Russia, China, Iran and North Korea.

Well done Joe.
