The American post-Cold War order from the Ronald Reagan through George W. Bush administration is over.
Barack Obama began its erosion with his tired lectures about the past sins of the United States.
Obama empowered radical Islamists. He invited Russia back into the Middle East after a forty-year hiatus. He snored while Vladimir Putin swallowed large areas of Ukraine. He nonchalantly allowed ISIS almost to take over Iraq. And he authored the Libyan misadventure.
Joe Biden has greatly amplified what Obama inaugurated. He accentuates the Obama-authored foreign policy disasters by his own family corruption.
If the U.S. had an honest media, a disinterested Department of Justice, and a professional FBI, the Biden family would likely be facing felony bribery charges and an impeachment vote for leveraging the interests of the U.S. for a few millions of Ukrainian and Chinese cash.
Biden has forfeited any moral credibility America once had in sermonizing to the world about the advantages of transparent democracy.
Instead, Washington under Biden went full Third-world. His family got rich from his offices, and Joe Biden warped government agencies in efforts to take out his next possible presidential rival.
Antony Blinken, Biden’s current Secretary of State, is known mostly for meekly accepting a dressing down from Chinese diplomats in 2021 and subsequent ritual humiliations.
Blinken was also the author of the 2020 election shenanigan of soliciting former intelligence authorities to publish a preposterous lie that Hunter Biden’s laptop had all the “hallmarks” of “Russian disinformation.” Blinken’s inspired farce was dreamed up to aid a then struggling candidate Biden in his last presidential debate.

You can’t lay all of this on Biden, Obama and Democrats. This is a Uniparty problem fueled by the Military Industrial Complex and the deep state.
I’ll kinda agree with you, however, who accelerated the loss of a democratic free and prosperous America through anti American, Marxist muslim underpinnings? Who pushed the weaponization of the traditional agencies plus created more to aid the deepstate and his death to America agenda???
The Muslim world will honor him as the greatest ghazi EVER!
Due to Obama’s third term you can see how the leadership has failed, that Biden is irrelevant as is America.
“This is a Uniparty problem fueled by the Military Industrial Complex and the deep state.”
That sir, is a fact.
I think I would also add the Neocons to that list.
.
First and most boring, is the nature of bureaucracies. 🥱 They grow. They protect. They require thought compliance for anyone that wants to be a member, just like a clique of middle school girls.
Second, Republicans that do not fight. That’s occurring right now. The GOP House has weaponization hearings and all kinds of talk, but they won’t do a single tangible thing.
Additionally, and I got this from a VDH video with the Hoover Institute about an hour ago, it’s Big Business. VDH focused on tech, Silicon Valley specifically. They pay for and run things in DC. They bought the 2020 election and Biden. I’m paraphrasing what VDH spoke about. His detail was astonishing. There is a cabal of self-anointed elitists in Silicon Valley that pulled the strings of Obama, currently direct Biden and control congressmen on both sides of the aisle. Their power does not reside in million dollar contributions. Zuckerberg spent $419 million on the 2020 election. That’s just one person.
“Barack Obama began its erosion with his tired lectures about the past sins of the United States”
Which he made to overseas crowds in Egypt and elsewhere on his globe trotting apology tours
“Obama empowered radical Islamists.”
Kind of an understatement for saying the US agencies ( ahem) recruited funded trained and armed Al Qaeda and ISIS warlords to try to topple regional govts ( like Syria) and counter Iranian inluence expansion
“He invited Russia back into the Middle East after a forty-year hiatus.”
Actually the govt of Syria expanded its ties to Russia with a military alliance to help combat islamic radicals and a minority of rebellious corrupt grifting ineffectual Syrian military officers, all tagged by our agencies as “ freedom fighters”
“He snored while Vladimir Putin swallowed large areas of Ukraine”
Crimea historically is not Ukraine and the inhabitants voted multiple times after the breakup of the USSR to return to formally being part of Russia ( which they effectively were under the USSR)
“He nonchalantly allowed ISIS almost to take over Iraq.”
Ooops, these radical snakes turned on the Kurds, shiites and seculars in Iraq. Who knew?
“And he authored the Libyan misadventure”
We came, we saw, Qadaffi died ….so crowed “Cankles” …after the Bush “ mission accomplished” Iraq invasion and Great WMD hunt…when Qadaffi turned over his WMD program and warmly greeted multiple high level US delegations as regime partners a year before being sodomized with a bayonet to the glee of the US State Dept
(Biden Abroad)
Walk into a bar......
... China and Russia loved the Obama-Biden resets. Now both are the guardians of Middle East oil and money, while the U.S. alienated our friends and drove allies away.
The Biden administration abandoned billions of dollars in military hardware as it fled in ignominy from Afghanistan.
It sent billions more in arms to Ukraine, while ending U.S. self-sufficiency in oil and gas, inflating the currency, exploding the debt, and ignoring replacing the arms we have sent abroad or abandoned.
Instead of restocking our depleted arms arsenals, Biden started tapping the Strategic Petroleum Reserve for cheap political advantage on the eve of the midterm elections.
A frail and disorientated Biden may be considered useful by his controllers to implement a hard-left agenda. But otherwise, an enfeebled Biden personified the decline in American stature that he had wrought.

Communists have friends in many places the struggle for one world order never ends.
Biden could go down as the worst AND MOST CORRUPT' President in American History... along with the most stupidest and corrupt journalists we've ever seen.
I worked 38 years, to the day, for the USG starting with 20 years military service, another 10 around USG/DOD agencies, finally joining the State Department’s Foreign Service. When I joined in 2006 it was already a liberal hell-hole, but with the Obama Administration and Clinton SecState, our Nation began making friends enemies and enemies friends. The sheer amount of corruption within the State Department itself was appauling. Add layers of Appointees who were enriching themselves thru illegal use of perks, false travel vouchers, etc., and you have the recipe for the elected leadership to do whatever in the hell they wanted because everyone was basically compromised ethically and morally.
The Democrats have owned diplomacy since FDR. You would have to give nearly everyone with 5 years of service (CIA and Foreign Service, not GS employees thought) retirement since they can drawn that retirement of 5 years or more when they reach 55, and clean out the den of thieves.
Our State Department grooms all young foreign service officers with a history of diplomacy that makes them the “rightful and actual Princes and Princesses of America” because American unlike Europe does not have royal families. If you look how our diplomacy is run today you will see self-identified so called elite class who belong to the State Department Foreign Service and the CIA.
The Department of State no longer did Republican President’s bidding even when I arrived — hence you will note folks like Ms Rice, Mr Powell, etc., become libtards after cashing in their appointee status in order to remain in the fold of diplomacy.
Should Trump be re-elected, I could serve as his IG to help management clean up Foggy Bottom.
Glad you got this on the sidebar where people will see it, but it’s not really front page news. It’s an editorial (which also belongs on the sidebar).
I posted under “General/Chat”. An admin must have moved it to “News/Activism”.
