OPINION:
The Biden administration’s foreign policy is a study in ivory tower thinking — idealistic while devoid of practical realism.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s ideas are straight out of the Neville Chamberlain school of appeasement. The withdrawal from Afghanistan, attempting to revive the Iranian nuclear policy, Ukraine and our open southern border are just a few examples of this administration’s epic failures.
Unfortunately, President Biden’s leadership has destabilized the world stage. Our enemies are more than happy to let us fight the supposed climate war while they build up their militaries and industrial complexes.
Does Mr. Blinken not understand that Hamas wants to eliminate Israel? Does he not understand that Hamas violated not only the Geneva Conventions but also deserves to be prosecuted for war crimes? Apparently not. He spouts nonsensical ideas that, if put into effect, would be detrimental to civilized people — and are looked upon as a joke by our adversaries.
Protecting civilian populations is an admirable goal, but it is worthless when dealing with an enemy that uses civilians as pawns and does not value human life.
Most halfway intelligent people know the difference between right and wrong. Sadly, the administration isn’t among that population. It’s too busy living in a utopian ideal constructed by globalists.
