| Biden Administration Intentionally Weakening Military: Retired General |
| 2022-09-18 |
| [ZERO] When the United States acts, the world is always watching, and one of the loudest messages since President Joe Biden took office came from how the United States handled its withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021. What message did that send globally to other government leaders who may see America as an adversary? That was a question asked by Tony Perkins, president of Family Research Council, during a panel discussion Thursday about America’s role on the world stage at the Pray Vote Stand Summit in Atlanta hosted by FRC Action, the legislative affiliate of Family Research Council. "I think that will go down in history as the worst foreign policy failure in U.S. history. Every decision that was made was wrong," said Lt. General (Ret.) William Boykin, executive vice president at Family Research Council. "What did that say to the rest of the world? It said that we have weak leadership. And you have to ask yourself, why did Vladimir Putin refrain from attacking Ukraine during the Trump administration? And then he went in with barrels blazing, under the Biden administration, and I will tell you, I think a lot of that goes back to the weakness that people—both our adversaries and our friends—recognized in the Biden administration." Other countries recognize that the Biden administration is weak and indecisive on many issues, he said, not just how the U.S. military left Afghanistan. Boykin mentioned Biden’s approach to the Paris climate change treaty and his efforts to get the United States back into the Iran nuclear deal, formally called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). |

| #20 As God is my witness, I'll never drink grasshoppers again! Not that I've ever had one... which is odd, since I'd pretty much fight a dog over mint-chocolate catshit. Anyway... Agaves are some macho plants! They, manifoldly prickly, dance So stiffly in the desert wind, Bear fruit as often as Paul Lynde, And sun all day, not wearing pants. |

| #8 I had a very interesting conversation with a drunken Virginian last night in my local drinking hole, this guy even pay for my happy hours ticket… anyway he told me that the marxists and biologists overlords now control the judiciary, Army, FBI and CIA and they will cut billions and billions and billions from the homosexuals inclined American military……and that will be the “argent de poche”. to be used as a universal wage to welcome and reinforce socialism as a form of governance in the USA so the civil servants and their masters can rules in continuity …like China Everyone ranks and files in the entire USA government is an accomplice of the scheme. |

| #7 The same people who shrieked in horror at limited, successful, closed-ended operations like Panama, Grenada and the First Gulf War are all in with the vaguely defined, designed-to-fail, open ended debacles we have seen since that time. Nobody in a position to apply the lessons learned a thing from Viet Nam, Afghanistan or Iraq. |

| #6 Again and again you have to ask about the questionable/often destructive Obama/Biden policy decision across a wide array of areas. "Of all the policy options, would this best help the Chinese and weaken the US and our allies?" When again and again, the overwhelming answer is yes, it seems hard to imagine coincidence. |

| #5 Defend CONUS and Hawaii + other island possessions. Prompt Global Strike for "sending messages." |

| #4 Getting out of Afghanistan was the right move. Trump wanted to do it but was overruled by the deep state. He wanted to withdraw from Syria, too. And Germany. All of these were the right decision. Not getting involved in Ukraine is the right decision, too. These people treat the world like it's some kind of game and the goal is to "win". That's not what the world is. That's not what America is about. America is about making a good life for our people. Less war is progress on that goal. |
