When Is Blowing Up the World A Success? - Victor Davis Hanson

Recently, Secretary of State Antony Blinken bragged in an op-ed that “The Biden administration's strategy has put the United States in a much stronger geopolitical position today than it was four years ago.” What? - Dean Cain reposted - Victor Davis
This is the latest campaign fantasy narrative also served up by Harris-Walz—analogous to the four-year untruth that “the border is secure” and “the economy is strong”—as they try to explain why the world utterly blew up on their watch and due to their own actions. 
And the mythologies continue...
  • I suppose Blinken defines “a much stronger geopolitical position today than it was four years ago”, as believing the Putin 2022 invasion of Ukraine was preferable to him keeping inside his borders during the Trump administration. 
  • Did lifting the Trump terrorist designation of the Houthis, scuttling the Abraham Accords, and Biden’s campaign demagoguing the Saudis as a “pariah” all lead to a calmer Red Sea? 
  • Did restoring fungible funds to the West Bank and Gaza terrorists and tunnel builders ensure there would not be an October 7? 
  • Perhaps lifting sanctions on Iran, resulting in a $100-billion oil revenue windfall to Tehran, or arranging a payment to the theocracy of some $6 billion to return hostages, or begging Iran to reenter the Iran Deal, all meant that Iran so far has only sent 500 ballistic missiles, drones, and cruise missiles into Israel? 
  • Did the humiliating 2021 retreat from Afghanistan discourage Putin to keep out of Ukraine? Maybe abandoning $50 billion in American munitions and supplies to the Taliban terrorists scared Vladimir Putin, Jinping Xi, and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei into their current supposed nonaggression?...READ ALL!!
