This year, departing President Joe Biden addressed his State Department with a farewell talk about how his career had elevated America’s standing overseas. Biden appeared to have felt he had to lie or fool about nearly every one of his “achievements” in his then adolescent blend of talking and fiery crying.

However, it was expected despite, not because of, Biden, to the degree that anything improved overseas on his view– the undermining of Iran or the near-death of Hamas and Hezbollah.
Biden, bowing to election year social force, did all he could to control and prevent Israeli provocations to the October 7 murders. Only after being consistently proven false does he now ruthlessly acknowledge what Israel unfortunately accomplished by disregarding his own risks directed at Israel.
Just Biden is correct in saying that Iran is “weaker than it has been in years.” But Tehran was aided, no hurt, by Biden’s daily efforts to raise sanctions, to help Iran to make billions in petrol revenues, to give the theocracy billions of dollars in hostage ransom, and to beseech the mullahs to join the ill-starred Iran deal. Biden’s actions significantly increase Israel’s chances of survival.
But, Iran is now weakened simply since Israel ignored Biden’s daily ankle-biting and finger-shaking never to retaliate to Persian aggression. After killing the majority of Iran’s foreign terrorist operatives, the Netanyahu state intentionally destroyed Persian air defenses.
Biden mentioned the Assad regime’s ending in Syria, but it did no implode as a result of his efforts. Only the Israeli government’s defeat and humiliation of Iran, combined with Donald Trump’s win in the poll, gave rise to Assad’s enemies ‘ desire to attack a now deposed and underdeveloped program, which was ultimately overthrown.

Biden is even credited with sprinklings that Hamas may launch its victims, who have been confined to a subterranean maze since October 7.
But why, with less than a week left in his career, did Biden think Hamas may started releasing the captives when even his own Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, has criticized the leadership for spending 16 weeks pressuring Israel, which only emboldened Hamas’s filibustering?
The terrorists ‘ tardiness in negotiations a release was probably due to Trump’s election and his threat to impose terrible retribution on Hamas ( and implicitly on Iran ).
Biden boasted of the tragic struggle from Afghanistan, which was the biggest shame of the U.S. government in a half-century and which resulted in the deaths of 13 Soldiers.” I am the first leader in decades who won’t leave a war in Afghanistan to his son,”
Consider his warped logic: Biden only leaves a fight for his successor because he fled in humiliation and lost it.
Biden also credited himself with saving Ukraine from Russia. However, he made a complacent omission from explaining why Russia had first invaded.
Had Biden not feigned American deterrence by fleeing Kabul and leaving behind billions of dollars in abandoned American military equipment, had he not claimed that his decision to support Russian President Vladimir Putin’s likely aggression would depend on whether it was a “minor incursion” or not, the Russians might never have invaded at all.

Putin grabbed Crimea and the Donbass in 2014 during the Obama-Biden administration. Later, he attempted to sabotage Kyiv with an attack on Biden’s watch in 2022.
However, Putin stayed within his borders only during one of the last four administrations– Trump’s.
Biden blasted the fact that he had to use force to carry out all these misadventures, saying,” We have not gone to war to make these things happen.”
However, Biden weakened the U.S. military more than any other recent president. Under his tenure, the Pentagon suffered a real reduction in its budget. And it never quite recovered from the tragedy in Afghanistan.
Annually, the military now comes up 40, 000 recruits short due to Biden’s draconian vaccination requirements, its new woke mandates, and its constant false accusations of” white rage” and” white privilege” in the ranks– libels that prompted a Pentagon internal investigation that found no such racism.
China was never more bellicose than during Biden’s presidency. It serially threatened Taiwan, used cyber warfare to bully the U. S., brazenly expropriated U. S. military technology, and without worry sent a spy balloon to traverse the U. S. with impunity.
Biden’s open border saw more than 10 million illegal entries, among them thousands of Chinese nationals. Meanwhile, Chinese investors were freed to systematically buy up thousands of acres of America’s farmland adjacent to sensitive U. S. military bases and installations.

Add it all up, and Biden would have done better to have simply kept quiet and departed his failed presidency in shame.
