Trump Wielded Power To Avoid War. Biden Shows Weakness To Fan Its Flames
Townhall, Jan 27, 2022, David Krayden

There are two gargantuan foreign policy misconceptions in the mainstream media today. The first is that former President Donald Trump was an isolationist, a throw-back to the pre-President Dwight Eisenhower days of Sen. Robert Taft when Republicans believed they could establish a fortress America and blithely let the world go to hell. The second is that President Joe Biden represents a return to the status quo of American foreign policy, with the commander-in-chief making responsible decisions about global matters that reassure our allies and resonate with our adversaries.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Trump was not an isolationist.

His voice and his actions were in remarkable synchronization as he pursued a policy that was neither isolationist nor committed to solving every global dispute. It’s America first with the recognition that sometimes America needed to exercise its military might beyond its own borders.

He was well aware that China was both a military and economic threat to the United States and he took bold action to curb Chinese power with tariffs and by telling the Chinese president that he had better not even think of invading Taiwan because the U.S. was prepared to defend the island. You did not see Chinese fighters doing flypasts over Taiwan during Trump’s presidency. Trump engaged with North Korea and tamed a corpulent communist madman.

What characterized Trump’s foreign policy was precision that avoided massive troop deployments yet still succeeded in advancing U.S. interests. Iran continued to be a threat to the U.S. and Israel so Trump ordered the killing of that country’s top terrorist general, Qasem Soleimani. It remains an enigma why there was any debate over that decision since it proved a resounding success – until Joe Biden entered the White House.

Chaos grows in the earth of indecision. Chaos is a catalyst for crisis and catastrophe.  Biden is the farmer and chemist producing both.

Biden is not only demonstrating amazing cowardice from Afghanistan to Ukraine, but he is already weakening our armed forces by causing casualties in our own military by eliminating valuable personnel with his COVID Mandate Tyranny.
