1123: The Biden Doctrine; & What is to be done? @JedBabbin @WashingtonTimes
Image: NATO Headquarters and NATO Council, earlier building. Jed Babbin: @JedBabbin @WashingtonTimes , American Spectator, in re: The Biden Doctrine; & What is to be done? Will France and Germany be able to carry their own weight—not pay the requite percentage to their own defense? Yes, Biden will allow NATO to have its last gasp, and let the deadbeats revert to [pocket-picking]. NATO nations believe that the US will shoulder their defense costs, Navalny’s poisoning: unless we impose sanctions or do something, [Putin runs free]. Same thing with Biden’s remarks on Myanmar. The Quad: does Biden know that it needs a fleet? Nope. The 355-ship Navy? Not under Biden. Will do nothing to bolster defense spending. In future, will need 555 ships? Our fleet is old, nuclear carriers about to be retired; US world presence not at all similar to the last 70 years. Abraham Accords? Biden is [undermining] it. Eroding the Accords hostile to Israeli national security, Biden seems to think that Iran can become an anchor of peace in the Middle East—[irrational]. Biden gives concessions of US security and gets nothing in return. That’s appeasement. https://spectator.org/biden-foreign-policy-doctrine/
