| The last four years have seen a renewal of American leadership on the world stage. Yet as Ambassador Haley said in her RNC keynote speech on Monday, this is not the time to return to an Obama/Biden foreign policy. As she put it, those were the bad days of “weakness and failure.” What would a Joe Biden foreign policy look like? Based on his history, he would leave America less safe and secure, turn against our allies, empower our enemies, and ignore our values. – China. Joe Biden spent more than 45 years in public office failing to stand up to the world’s largest communist country, even as it gained power and grew more threatening to America. On trade, defense, and human rights, he routinely refused to make the case for our vital national security interests. – ISIS. Joe Biden was Vice President when ISIS emerged, following the Obama administration’s decision to basically abandon Iraq. The terrorist group carved out a caliphate across the Middle East, beheading Americans along the way. – Israel. Joe Biden supported the Obama administration’s efforts to sideline and punish Israel, one of America’s closest allies. When he was VP, the U.S. led the U.N. to condemn Israel — and then abstained instead of vetoing the shameful move. – Iran. Joe Biden was one of the biggest cheerleaders for the Iran nuclear deal, even though it failed to permanently stop the regime’s nuclear ambitions, endangered America’s allies and interests, and enabled Iran to strengthen support for terrorist proxies like Hezbollah. The list goes on. Biden opposed the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden. More recently, he opposed the attack that killed Iranian general Qasem Soleimani, the terrorist mastermind who was responsible for the death of American troops. Time and again, Biden has been on the wrong side of America’s biggest foreign policy questions. On Monday, Amb. Haley said that “Joe Biden is good for Iran and ISIS, great for Communist China, and he’s a godsend to everyone who wants America to apologize, abstain, and abandon our values.” The American people deserve better than that. → Read more: Elites yearn for a restoration abroad under Biden (Wall Street Journal) → Read more: “Proud to cast the American veto”: Nikki Haley paves the way for a post-Trump foreign policy (Washington Examiner) |
