Nobody Trusts a Country that Leads from Behind
American Thinker ^ | 19 Aug, 2020 | J.B. Shurk

Voters face a choice in November between two American futures. Bernie Sanders has made it clear that Joe Biden is merely a means for Democrats first to regain power and then to radically shift the United States left toward a socialist vision that would have been unthinkable in America just a short time ago. Americans seem to understand that this election is unlike anything we’ve seen because Donald Trump’s America and Joe Biden’s America are so diametrically opposed.

What is not discussed enough is what hangs in the balance for the rest of the world. The first-term foreign policy successes of President Trump have been entirely ignored by the press, but the geopolitical order is starkly different from when he first took office.

Nobody trusts a country that leads from behind. President Trump is restructuring the world. It is deliberate. It is far-reaching. It is plain for anyone to see. And the commentariat is missing it completely.

(1) The normalization of diplomatic relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates is one data point in a larger transformation of Middle East alliances shifting in favor of the United States and Israel.

The left and muslims(SPIT!) love death, more than we love life.

Trump leads.

The previous decades of Bush-Clinton-Obama “leadership” consisted primarily of using military to harvest the world of what we needed, letting in undocumented immigrants to disenfranchise American citizens of their vote otherwise, and then dribbling out bennies to control the vote.

good governance, creating a productive US that the world is dependent upon for energy, products, good systems, ideas and leadership is hard work.

This President makes it look easy

(Pun intended?)

Yes, not even its own citizens.

I’ll admit that I get nervous when someone starts throwing around the phrase “Leading from Behind” (especially in regards to foreign policy). All too often it’s used by corporate globalists and Neo-Cons to con patriotic Americans into another nation-building project abroad.

I thought the “Lead from Behind” was a joke.

Wasn’t it poking fun at Obama’s sexuality?
