No Respect.
Phil Flynn - Fri Aug 20
Joe Biden has lost the respect of the world.
He ascended to the presidency with the help of far-left media and social platforms that lied and suppressed the truth and failed to properly vet this president, leading to one of the biggest foreign policy debacles in American history. Biden’s reckless and irresponsible withdraw from Afghanistan has hurt our standing with our allies and emboldened our enemies. He promised to bring respect back to America but he has done the opposite. His actions in Afghanistan as well as his nonsensical energy policies have made the country less safe and hurt America’s standing in the world. Our allies around the world now question whether or not the United States can be trusted ever again. Our NATO partners were horrified at Joe Biden’s plan and by the fact that he failed to even consult them. He ignored their advice and even failed to take their phone calls as Afghanistan fell.
Secretary of State Anthony Blinken was warned last month that Kabul would fall. Diplomats sent a confidential memo to Blinken on July 13th telling him that the Taliban was rapidly gaining ground and the city was vulnerable to collapsing, yet Biden claims he had no idea that this could happen so fast and was not warned by his intelligence.
It seems that the president was more interested in a photo-op so he could take credit for ending the war on the anniversary of the September 11th attacks.
The far-left media in this country that spent years viciously attacking the last president by reporting false narratives to the American people should now take some responsibility for this president’s actions.
The media as well as major social media platforms helped cover for Joe Biden’s incompetence and scandals that clearly made him unfit.
Whether it was Burimas or Hunter’s laptop or just asking real questions that would put on display Joe Biden’s leadership abilities or lack thereof.
The media’s willful blindness helped Joe Biden get elected so I guess you can say the media lied and now people die.
This is why in a democracy there has to be an honest media that does its best to report the news instead of taking talking points and marching orders from one of the nation’s political parties.
It may sound harsh but I can tell you the Gold Star families of soldiers that died in Afghanistan and other soldiers that worked along with the Afghanistan people are horrified at the mess that Joe Biden has created. The U.S. military, our NATO partners, and the Afghanistan people risked their lives and fortunes, to create a better future. Now they are slapped in the face by this president’s reckless, heartless and inept policies. Biden left behind Afghan Air Force pilots, translators, and teachers, that worked with us and now are pleading to get out and looking to the United States for help. ABC reported that several Afghans who had worked with the U.S. military said they would be killed if the Taliban found them. They said they felt abandoned by the Americans.
Now the United States is going to have to spend years, if not decades, rebuilding the trust that has been lost by this administration’s actions. We have lost the respect of our friends and enemies. We will also have to prepare for a world where terror groups can once again find safe-haven in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.
