DANIEL VAUGHAN: Biden Abandons America And Her Allies At Every Turn

It's hard to put it any better than Siraj Hashmi, replying to a recent Biden tweet stating, "On my watch, when we make promises, we keep them. And we leave no one behind." Siraj responded, "The strongest argument that Joe Biden has dementia is this tweet right here. He doesn't remember all the Americans he left behind in Afghanistan." Indeed, when Biden tells you he supports you, you know terms and conditions will apply.

Biden's disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal is not the only way he's abandoned Americans or allies. Just this week, Biden announced he was freezing arms to Israel as a veto vote on Israel's plans to launch an attack on Hamas. In the process, Biden is delaying action on Hamas, which strengthens them, and aiding a known terrorist group funded by Iran. Both Hamas and Iran want to eradicate Jews, and they've openly cheered the kidnapping and murdering of Americas. And let's not forget: Americans are still being held hostage by Hamas.

Israel isn't alone in this boat. Ukraine scored some sizable victories against Russia by attacking Russian-owned oil refineries and other oil facilities. Russia's dependency on oil is well known, and Ukraine's attacks help weaken Russia's capacity to wage war. This strategy makes sense to anyone observing the situation. However, Biden was furious with Ukraine and warned them not to continue the practice.

Biden is worried about the price of gas at the American pump. If Ukraine cripples Russia's oil refining capabilities, gas prices would likely go up in response. Biden views this as a threat to his re-election, so he abandoned Ukraine at a critical juncture when it needed to get any victory possible. For all his talk of helping Ukraine achieve victory, those promises vanish when electoral reality hits close to home.

No matter where we're talking about, from Afghanistan to Israel to Ukraine and beyond, Biden abandons Americans or American allies at every major decision point. If you're in Taiwan, watching all this go down, why would you have any faith that Biden would help you over a war with China? Biden talks a big game and fades the moment any pressure is applied.

It's not just in foreign policy that Biden's abandonment comes into focus. The New York Times polled Americans and found that a majority believed that Trump's policies were better for Americans than Biden's. When the White House gets pushed on the notion that Bidenomics equates to inflation in most people's minds, they scramble to any other point possible.

Biden doesn't help much. He bizarrely claims that inflation was 9% when he entered office. It wasn't. Inflation was 1.4% when Biden entered office, and Biden made sure to pass multiple massive spending bills when the signs of inflation began showing.

Inflation is the ultimate economic ill that leaves people behind. Prices skyrocket while you make the same amount of money, leaving everyone feeling left behind. The Federal Reserve is still fighting inflation, while the White House spikes the football, claiming they fixed the problem. Meanwhile, Americans continue paying higher prices for many things in the grocery store, impacting household budgets. The White House ignores this point.

In addition to inflation, social security continues to not match increasing inflationary pressures. It's no wonder poll after poll points to Trump having a lead over Biden on economic issues. All you have to do is look around and see the damage during Biden's time in office.

It's hard to find many promises Biden has made and kept during his tenure. He promised to support Israel and Ukraine and even lectured the country that refusal to do what Biden said equated to supporting Putin. Yet here we are with Biden doing the very thing he lambasts in interviews and speeches.

The cycle is clear: Biden makes a promise to someone, and when pressure gets applied later on, he bails on that promise. If you don't like Biden's current answer, shake him up, and a new answer may appear later. Biden is guaranteed to find the worst possible answer for a problem and find every way possible to abandon allies in the process.

From domestic to foreign policy, Biden breaks his promises and abandons Americans. The consequences are severe. In Gaza, American hostages have had to endure more than six months of imprisonment by a terrorist group. Hamas continues to imply they can't guarantee the survival of these hostages, either. The number alive continues to shrink.

Yet, Biden is charging in to prevent an Israeli response. In Ukraine, Biden aids the Russian oil and gas industry. In Afghanistan, soldiers died, and thousands were left behind. At no point does Biden stand behind his convictions with courage. Everything he does is about calculating the best thing politically, for him, and little else.
