Deluded Biden, blind to his foreign failures, leaves Trump a world in flames
Opinion by Victor Davis Hanson • 3h
Departing President Joe Biden offered a farewell brag last week to his State Department about how his tenure had improved America’s stature abroad.
In his now accustomed weird mix of whispering and fiery shouting, Biden apparently felt he had to lie or mislead about almost every one of his “achievements.”
Yet to the extent that anything improved abroad on his watch — the weakening of Iran or the near destruction of Hamas and Hezbollah — it was despite, not because of, Biden.
Biden, bowing to election-year political pressure, did all he could to restrain and block Israeli retaliations to the Oct. 7 massacres.
Only after he was repeatedly proven wrong does he now shamelessly take credit for what Israel ironically achieved by ignoring his own threats directed at Israel.
Biden is correct only that Iran is “weaker than it’s been in decades.”
But Tehran was aided, not hurt, by Biden’s nonstop efforts to lift sanctions, to allow Iran to make billions in oil revenues, to pay the theocracy billions of dollars in hostage ransom, and to beg the mullahs to reenter the ill-starred Iran deal.
Everything Biden did made it much harder for Israel to survive.
