Historians will look back at the Biden-Harris presidency as a period of unmitigated U.S. decline on the international stage. From the humiliating Afghanistan withdrawal that returned the Taliban to power, to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the last three and a half years have been one disaster after another for the world’s superpower. And with the globe’s biggest state sponsor of terror, Iran, moving towards becoming a nuclear weapons power, the situation is only getting worse.
The spectre of an Iranian regime armed with nuclear weapons is a terrifying prospect. It would blackmail the Middle East, threaten Europe, and menace the entire free world. No European capital, including London, would be safe from its reach. Yet the feckless Biden-Harris administration is doing nothing to prevent this nightmare from happening. It’s reportedly even pressuring Israel to refrain from taking action against Tehran’s nuclear program.
Instead of projecting strength in the face of Iranian aggression, President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have kowtowed to the mullahs by weakening sanctions, unfreezing Iranian funds, and attempting to revive the hugely flawed Iran nuclear deal. The Iranian regime has become far more assertive since Biden and Harris took office, and it is no coincidence that Tehran’s proxy movement, Hamas, launched its barbaric assault on Israel on October 7 last year against a backdrop of a White House perceived as weak-kneed and indecisive.
Biden and Harris have also treated the leader of America’s closest ally in the region, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with barely disguised disdain and even hostility. Harris couldn’t even bring herself to call him a “close ally” in a 60 Minutes interview with CBS last night.
Harris also disgracefully boycotted Netanyahu’s address to a joint session of Congress in July and has been highly critical of Israel’s military operations to combat Hamas in Gaza. » Read More
