Former Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill must be out of her mind if she thinks Biden is brave. That’s essentially what she’s arguing here, that Biden is brave while Trump was a ‘coward’. She then went on to mislead facts and ignores the facts.
Joe Biden’s recent visit to Ukraine and pledge to send military aid have been praised by liberal media as acts of courage and strength, while former President Donald Trump has been criticized for not visiting Afghanistan and projecting “false strength.” However, this narrative ignores the fact that Putin planned to invade Ukraine only when Biden took office, not when Trump was in power.
It also ignores the fact that Trump did visit Afghanistan. In fact, he was there in November 2019, serving Thanksgiving dinner to troops deployed there.
Biden’s policies, such as lifting sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline and abandoning Afghanistan, have weakened US security and emboldened America’s enemies.
Biden’s decision to lift sanctions on Nord Stream 2, a gas pipeline that will allow Russia to bypass Ukraine and supply gas to Germany, has been widely criticized for strengthening Russia’s energy dominance in Europe and hurting Ukraine.
In addition, Biden’s chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan has left the country vulnerable to Taliban control and increased the risk of terrorism. These policies have not shown strength, but weakness.
In contrast, the GOP has advocated for policies that prioritize US security and strength. This includes strengthening the military, securing the border, and standing up to America’s enemies, such as Russia and China. These policies have been proven to work, as evidenced by the success of the Trump administration in negotiating peace deals in the Middle East and securing the border.
Furthermore, Biden’s recent actions in Ukraine have not been acts of courage, but of appeasement. His pledge to send military aid, including howitzers and anti-tank missiles, is unlikely to deter Russia’s aggression, and may even escalate the conflict. The best way to prevent war is through strong deterrence, not empty gestures.
In conclusion, Biden’s policies have weakened US security and emboldened America’s enemies, while the GOP’s policies prioritize strength and security. It is time for America to stand up to its enemies and prioritize its own security, not appease them.
