Biden's catastrophic collapse of American leadership
www.msn.com ^ | 12/08/2021 | Monica Crowley

Posted on 12/08/2021 6:09:26 PM PST by massmike

It turns out that going from America First to America Last has real world consequences.

President Trump’s critics often complained his America First policies were damaging our alliances and rewarding our enemies. The exact opposite was true: like President Ronald Reagan before him, Trump delivered peace through strength. Biden has diluted American power, and as a result, our allies no longer trust us and our enemies no longer fear us. American weakness always invites the wolves, and the wolves have returned.

Just in the last 11 months, America has ceded a tremendous amount of power, credibility and prestige. Biden’s shameful withdrawal from Afghanistan is partially to blame, of course. But Biden’s pandering, apologies and multilateral, globalist agenda are doing the true damage.

The result is as predictable as it is dangerous: America’s enemies are emboldened to threaten us and our interests. 

Leadership matters, and unfortunately we’ve only begun to see the perilous consequences of Biden’s actions. Under the Trump administration, America’s preeminence had been restored and our extraordinary power – economically, diplomatically, politically, culturally – was being used to bring about greater stability and peace. Under the Biden administration, American weakness is jeopardizing the safety and security of the American people.

We’ve seen this movie before, and it doesn’t end well. This time, however, the consequences are as momentous as they’ve ever been. Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates has said that Biden has "been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades."

Now that he’s president, nothing, unfortunately, has changed. Biden’s collapse of leadership is America’s collapse of leadership – and we will all bear the consequences.

I remember during the Clinton/Lewinski affair. Once I saw it on ABC? and Drudge, I knew it could not be brought back.

Hopefully, this is the same kind of moment.

Biden is not the only one to blame...There is plenty of blame to go around but the blame should land squarely on the shoulders of the disgusting china bought American fake news mediavomits and RINOS! McConnell who has been there the longest bares a lot of blame too by participating in the sellout!

Slow down everyone. This is a FOX News story listed on the WEBSITE msn.com. This is not MSNBC. It’s like googling an FR vanity and saying it’s from google. This is Monica Crowley of Fox News.

Here is a way out:

Real soon, someone with the authority or knowledge of how-to, should initiate an Amendment to add a “no confidence vote” provision to the U.S. Constitution, then submit it to an appropriate Representative or Senator to place into the public record and push for debate before Congress. Obviously, the Dims will oppose it, but after 11/22, we should be able to pass it and get it submitted for Biteme’s signature. He won’t sign it. But it can then be passed by a 2/3 majority in the Senate and override Biteme. Then, with a Republican third in line, we perform a no confidence vote on both Biteme and Camelback and voila, President McCarthy(R)!

Invites the wolves AND I'll bet our NATO partners aren't coughing up their share anymore...

Biden is a symptom, not the disease itself.
