Ever get the feeling that whole world is going straight to hell? Well, if you don’t I don’t blame you but there are some interesting things that could easily get out of control. Right now, Ukraine is at stalemate with Russia, Middle East could easily spin out of control as Israel is finishing Hamas in Gaza, but Houthis are striking at shipping in the Red Sea and Hezbollah threatens Israel northern border and our own soldiers have been under attack in the Middle East and three have died.
Our southern border is a sieve and who knows what terrorist have come across the border, putting a fifth column ready to strike as needed.
I have detailed a GOP foreign policy of modest foreign policy to defend our national interest but for the moment, we have a foreign policy in disarray. Beginning the first day, Biden opened up the border and his pull out of Afghanistan and how it was done set the tone for his administration. Before Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, Biden made a statement that it would depend upon Putin’s objective and he repeated a limited invasion as in 2014, he could live with it. Putin took both the Afghanistan debacle and this statement as a sign he could get away with the invasion.
As Putin discovered, Biden had no choice but the respond after it became apparent that Ukraine would survive the initial shock and awe Russian campaign and now he faces a renewed NATO alliance, in particular the countries bordering Russia including Finland, Poland, and the Baltics.
As for the Middle East Biden initial support for Israel has diminished and he is looking for a way to force Israel in a two-state solution to appease his anti-Jewish Democrats supporters which turned out to be more numerous as thought. As for Ukraine, I suspect that Biden would love a cease fire and be willing to settle with a splitting of Ukraine into a Russian section and Free Ukraine.
As for the borders, Biden is hoping to sucker the Republicans with a compromise that will allow a significant number of illegals coming across the border for what will prove to be cosmetic changes and will be ignored by the Biden administration.
The Biden administration began with the following:
- Reverse everything that Trump did even if it was good like the Abraham accord and border security.
- He revived the Iranian deal that will allow Iranian the bomb and become a major player in the Middle East and move our policy away from support of Israel. He simply refunded the Iranian with billion of dollars. We know how that works now.
- Revive the Paris climate accord.
- China policy resembled the weak policy of the Obama administration just as the Iranian policy resembled the Obama administration.
- Attempted to restrict our energy policy.
The Biden administration foreign policy has been a disaster but look for the following:
- Attempt to force Israel’s to do a two-state solution and allow the survival of Hamas.
- Work to get a deal with Russian for a split Ukraine but the real question what guarantees will Ukraine get for security. If there is a demilitarized Ukraine, then there will be another war in the future.
- Border compromise to allow significant numbers of immigrants crossing the border.
China invading or even blockading Tawain is the next shoe to drop and if that happens then all bets are off for any stability.
