A United States still deeply divided over Jan. 6 has hurt its standing overseas, tarnishing the reputation of a country that has long promoted democracy efforts abroad.

The Afghanistan withdrawal disaster hurt our reputation more than anything else, aside from maybe a stolen election.

Democracies don’t die, they do however kill themselves.

The real damage that was done was the reputation of our election process two months earlier. I’m just waiting for State to send out “election observers” to the third world after this. Hopefully, the people in those countries will find them very tasty.

Afghanistan debacle. Turning our backs on Allie’s without warning. A “President” who doesn’t know where he is or what’s going on. A warped/woke military.

Jan 6 doesn’t even make the list.

Eh. Horse$hit.

A little bird just told me Afghanistan’s people are taking control of their country over the vax bs. Media saying it’s because of gas or something. We’ll see if that’s true, it’s so hard to believe anything anymore.

US was using a heavy hand worldwide long before that debacle. There is good reason to not trust the US government. It is a bully, and it is crooked.

Lies define today’s Left. Literally, it’s all they do.

BTW and not so coincidentally, the Old Man is also called Father of Lies.
