President Biden will be remembered as a man who stepped into the White House at a time of unprecedented crises: • The worst pandemic in a century, • The worst attack on our nation’s capital since 1812, the culmination of the outgoing president’s attempt to overturn an election and overthrow our democracy and illegally hold on to power after losing an election, • Hundreds of thousands dead from a preventable disease, • Millions living like shut-ins, many of them losing their jobs and facing eviction and foreclosure, and coping with shortages of everything from medical supplies to toilet paper, • An enveloping worldwide economic collapse, the worst since the Great Recession, and • An opposition party standing opposed to his very legitimacy after voting to oppose the certification of the Electoral College vote that declared him President of the United States. Undeterred and with indomitable and unflinching optimism, President Biden went about implementing a national recovery, presiding over the life-saving vaccinations of millions of Americans, repairing our cratering economy with the addition of 16 million jobs, mending our strained relations with allies and trading partners, bringing manufacturing jobs back to our shores, combatting high costs of prescription drugs and healthcare service, and relieving millions of Americans from the crushing burden of student loan debt - all despite unrelenting opposition from half of the Congress and half the populace. He saved this country from a depression, presided over the creation of 16 million jobs, boosted our energy independence and resilience with unprecedented investments into renewable energy and climate change remedies, expanded the strength and stability of NATO, repaired relations with our allies, and restored our standing and prestige on the world’s stage. You, on the other hand, sound like an idiot.
@RandyAbraham-xf5qp Yes. The president has great authority when it comes to foreign policy. "Biden's" foreign policy from Afghanistan to the Ukraine war has been a disaster. Who is in charge?
I’m going to stop you right there. Trump, not Biden, led the talks on the pullout agreement, freed 5000 Taliban fighters from prisons, ordered all US military airbases including Bagram closed, excluded the Afghan government from talks by negotiating exclusively with the Taliban, and left only 2500 US troops to deal with the eventual day of reckoning - even though his own advisors warned him that such a drastic troop drawdown would be dangerous and would jeopardize our pullout, which he had scheduled for 2021. His own national security advisor called him out on this. On Ukraine, President Biden enlisted a 50-nation coalition to help Ukraine defend itself against Russia’s illegal, brutal, and unprovoked invasion. Despite Putin’s assurances that Ukraine would fall in two weeks, Ukraine is still standing. To what do you object?
Its puzzling how anti Biden and kamela i am but blinken and sullivan have rarely said anything i disagree with. The administrations foreign policy hopefully will maintain much of the current policies
It would be a terrible loss. As would Odessa too… which would burden them with all sorts of unnecessary problems. Ukrainians should retreat from both & deliver Russia a strategic loss
Ask Trump, he created the plan.

@RandyAbraham-xf5qp Trump already responded to that counterfactual. He said that he wouldn't have gone ahead with it under those circumstances. So we have an answer from him already but I've never heard an explanation from Sullivan, who was in power.
"we need to stand with the kurds" , meanwhile turkey is bombing them, no one said anything
Istanbul Summit or Conference will deal with that in March 2025. Stay tuned for updates.

Thank you Ian, great interview
Amazing interview!
Ive would have asked how long he knew about biden's cognitive decline.
@@jaunt3603 How long would it take you to realize you were talking to a feeble minded old man? Probably safe to assume that's how long it took him

How do you account for that dissonance?
Let’s pretend Israel has NOT illegally occupied Palestine for 75 YEARS
The Arabs have lost four wars against Israel it pretty much settled the Palestinians have lost.
They've only been offered peace five times and when Israel left Gaza Palestinians elected Hamas who stole Western aid from average Palestinians.
Would Russia gaining the donbas be considered a loss in eyes of Russia? Seems like no real strategic value. They already had Crimea.
Huge mineral and natural resources and also a breadbasket. That land is worth trillions.
It would be a terrible loss. As would Odessa too… which would burden them with all sorts of unnecessary problems. Ukrainians should retreat from both & deliver Russia a strategic loss
Only after solving the internal problems.
I would have liked a question about what happened in Afghanistan.

So Trump wouldn’t own up to his blunder and just passed the buck. I’m shocked.
@@RandyAbraham-xf5qp The blunder happened under his senile successor.
