White House national security spokesman John Kirby struggled Thursday when asked to name the top foreign policy achievement for President Joe Biden in 2023.
During a briefing with reporters — the last of the year — Ed O’Keefe of CBS News asked Kirby to look back over the year and name the most important success.
Kirby waffled for a moment, saying that he was running out of time, and suggesting that Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre wanted him to go.

Were there any to mention?
In fact, I’d say his entire Presidency has lacked any clear “wins” in foreign policy. All the US has done under his watch is capitulate to pretty much everyone.
Does this mean Ed O’Keefe of CBS News is a real journalist? Or that the ‘elite’ want Biden to move aside?
What happened to John Kirby.
In 2023 Biden’s foreign policy wins were for China.
Move aside.
.
Did he struggle? Or did he fail
I’m not reading the breitbart article to find out
My guess is no
What happened to Kirby?
What happened to Breitbart?
Ukraine = Afghanistan II
Joe’s done nothing but harm to our country, our people and our politics. It shows that he cares nothing about America or its citizens. He cares only about himself, his family and the money they can illegally graft. I truly think he’s probably the worst president in history but he certainly is the worst in my lifetime.
Yeah, my guess too.
We had a win last year. A big win
Admiral Kirby should have mentioned when America’s Armed Forces, on 12 FEB 2023 at 14:22 hours, deployed, interdicted and shot down an unidentified balloon over the Yukon territory after it had passed over Alaska. Its exact nature was unknown to our Military and National Security Team at the time. It was postulated that it was Chinese, Russian, another rogue state, perhaps terrorists, even a UFO.
After it was shot down, the Northern Illinois Bottlecap Balloon Brigade (NIBBB) anounced that they lost track of one of their balloons at the same time and location.
Perhaps as a Naval Officer, Admiral Kirby was hesitant to give undue praise to the Air Force.
Anyhow, Admiral Kirby was asked if our National Security Team had perhap overreacted a bit, when it deployed a $200 million F22 Raptor and a $600,000 sidewinder missle to interdict and destroy a $20 balloon launched by some junior high school geeks. Admiral Kirby proudly answered “Absolutely Not”
Sir, Admiral Kirby, Sir
The price of freedom is never cheap,
but our National Security was saved again!
Mission Accomplished, Well Done
Why limit it to foreign policy?
He’s been an unmitigated anti-American, pro-China disaster in every single area.
Xi just told Biden of his foreign policy achievements.
Bonus Round: Two proxy wars go up in flames sells our oil to
China.
Well he’s on his way to achieving parity w/ Mexico...soon we will have as many Mexicans as Mexico does.
Sure he has one….starting WW3….. will make the MIC plenty of dough and allow for all kinda of “emergency” actions.

I remember that... big win for President Sniffer too... /s
WATCH: John Kirby Struggles to Name Biden Foreign Policy Achievement in 2023

White House national security spokesman John Kirby struggled Thursday when asked to name the top foreign policy achievement for President Joe Biden in 2023.
During a briefing with reporters — the last of the year — Ed O’Keefe of CBS News asked Kirby to look back over the year and name the most important success.
Kirby waffled for a moment, saying that he was running out of time, and suggesting that Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre wanted him to go.
“There’s a lot we’ve achieved in foreign policy … ” he began.
“You know, we’re running late, and I don’t want to belabor this,” he continued, saying that the answer would take 20 minutes.
Kirby eventually listed the “Quad” alliance in the Indo-Pacific, the Australian nuclear submarine deal, helping Ukraine hold Russia back, and helping Israel “put pressure on Hamas.”
(Former President Donald Trump actually formed the Quad alliance in 2017.)
Ultimately, he said that the top achievement was “shoring up alliances.”
“I think if I had to bucket into one thing, one of the most important things he’s done on the foreign policy front is shore up and revitalize our vast network of alliances and partnerships. No other nation in the world has that kind of a network at their disposal.”
Kirby said that Biden had taken the time to invest in relationships that “had been let lapse” by President Donald Trump.
