The Biden Administration has alienated its NATO Allies that’s geographically closest to the conflict—the one bearing the lion’s share of the refugee crisis, and the one Russia could most easily. In the process, it managed to drag Germany into the affair. European allies are surely taking notice and wondering if they should stay in a mutual-defense alliance with a country headed by a lifelong idiot who now has dementia. They’ve met is number two and laughed her off the stage. At what point does NATO tell the US it’s no longer welcome in the club? With the USD potentially losing reserve status, NATO might be better off without our money. Do Germany and Poland think they can wait until the next election while there’s a war raging in their hemisphere?
Biden is bumbling his way into World War III the way he bumbled out of Afghanistan. But the potential price to be paid by a mistake in Europe is far larger than the costs of the Afghanistan debacle. The Taliban have no nukes; Putin does. We had no mutual defense pact with Afghanistan; we do with Poland and Germany.
When Robert Gates said Joe Biden has “been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades,” he meant it. But if Biden bumbles this one, it will be his last mistake—and ours.
