Last week, dozens of competent American patriots with national security experience endorsed Donald Trump by publicly signing a powerful letter that reads, “Our nation is facing the most serious and grave threats it has faced in decades. A revival of American peace through strength coupled with a strategy that puts the American people first is necessary to restore peace and economic stability throughout the world.”
Damn straight. I’m proud to be one of its signers. This powerful call for a powerful America stands in stark contrast to the pathetic weakness demonstrated by the collection of goofs, hacks, clowns, and incompetents that recently signed one for Kamala Harris. At their core, the losers despise America and believe we must be weak and constrained. We reject that ridiculous idea. We believe America is and must remain the world’s greatest nation are Andrew Jacksonians; Kamala and those who think America should be a slightly laughable backup singer on the world stage are Tito Jacksonians.Â
The letter from “NATIONAL SECURITY & FOREIGN POLICY PROFESSIONALS FOR TRUMP” includes signatures from cabinet-level officials, generals and colonels, various national security experts, and – very importantly – the families of some of the troops killed by the gross incompetence of the Biden-Harris cabal in Kabul. It was organized by a bunch of concerned pros led by my friend Ambassador Robert C. O’Brien, who was Trump’s final National Security Advisor and arguably a better one than any of the 26 NSAs who preceded him. Let’s review where we stood when Trump left office. We were right at the end of an astonishing interregnum between the decades of Middle East conflict that boomers and Gen Xers had grown up watching on the nightly news, back when the networks mattered. For many of us, it was personal – we deployed there. But Trump stopped the cycle of violence and failure.
How? Primarily by ignoring the idiots who would later sign the Kamala letter. Trump understood what the failed Yalies who couldn’t get a Wall Street gig and had to go into government instead of Wall Street never got – that bad people are not swayed by cliches and pablum about “the Rule of Law” and “the international order.” Bad people understand strength, and Trump understands that.
If you messed with Trump, he would kill you. Soulemani – a blood-soaked degenerate who had overseen the murder of hundreds of Americans – had inexplicably walked the earth for years after starting and continuing his reign of terror. He got uppity. Trump killed him. Andrew Jackson would be proud.
Trump also stopped giving the mullahs money. He, and the competent folks who would later sign on this endorsement, never held the bizarre view that the Iranians would stop being seventh-century psychotics if we only paid them off and sucked up to them enough. But that was – and is – the controlling fantasy of the establishment apparatchiks now lining up behind Kamala—just what we need – a brat foreign policy.
Trump’s administration putting the mullahs in a box made the Abraham Accords possible – peace in a place where we had not seen peace in almost a century. And there was more. They attained peace in Kosovo. They got the NATO deadbeats to start ponying up their fair share. They even kept Putin from expanding the chunk of Ukraine he invaded under Nobel Peace Prize winner Barack Obama – remember, these hacks think “peace” means America and its allies sit back and talk abuse.Â
Trump also began to rebuild our shattered military, though there is still much more to do there, starting with firing the kind of war-losing generals and admirals who today back Kamala. They sure have a lot of attitude for folks who have not managed to unequivocally win a major conflict in better than three decades.
Robert Gates famously said about a decade ago that Joe Biden had been wrong about every major foreign policy question in the previous 40 years. Now, it’s 50 years, and despite his manifest senility, our alleged president has stayed consistent. He has been wrong about every major foreign policy question in the last half-century, and so have the people who signed Kamala’s letter. It’s an unbroken track record of defeats, humiliations, collapses, routs, and disasters. Name a foreign policy achievement of the four years under these quarter-wits—just one.Â
Cue the tumbleweed.
It’s not hard to list their failures – the only problem is that a column can only be so long. Let’s start with Afghanistan, a mix of gross negligence, political motivations, and hubris that led to America being revealed to the world as a paper tiger, to over a dozen dead servicemembers, to a bunch of Afghan civilians being killed when Biden panicked and decided he had to be butch, as well as thousands of abandoned allies and even Americans.Â
No wonder Putin invaded. He saw he was facing a coterie of spineless invertebrates. And after he did, these clowns managed to pick the worst of the three options in response. They could make it so Ukraine could win, let Ukraine lose quickly, or allow the war to grind on endlessly, draining our treasure and Ukrainian lives, while they all put UKR emojis on their Twitter bios. Of course, they took Option 3. They always do the worst possible thing.
They have wrecked our military. Recruiting is in the cellar because the kind of normal, patriotic Americans who once fought our wars (and, when allowed to, won them) have no desire to service in a Petrie dish of freakish social pathologies of the sort tolerated by our current elite. China does not play silly games; it is serious about winning. We are not. China is building a world-class military, and our Navy is shrinking. Oh, China is now ramming allied ships as it pushes outward. Where is America? In trans awareness training.
These clowns have pressured Israel not to win – what is it with their aversion to winning? Sadly, for far too long, Netanyahu listened and put off the righteous retribution for October 7th. Now, a year later, Netanyahu has chosen to ignore these buffoons and – shocking! – Israel is annihilating Hezbollah, including killing some of the Marine barracks bombers who we should have killed long ago. These people are the George Costanzas of foreign policy – you succeed when you do the opposite of their gut instinct. That instinct instantly recoils at anything like victory. The Houthis are tossing flocks of missiles at us, and we sit there taking them; they shoot one at Israel, and the Jewish state wipes out their oil reserves. The foreign policy squishes even cried when Israel tricked the Hezbollah dummies into buying booby-trapped pagers, taking out hundreds of terrorist fighters. Suppose you can’t summon up sufficient inner Genghis Khan to cheer the involuntary sex reassignment surgery of jihadi scumbags. In that case, you have no business being in the business of protecting the United States.
Trump is a Jacksonian. He’s not looking for wars, and he did not start any. But he sure finished a bunch, which prevented others from beginning. America is done being the world’s policeman – the GOP base, which paid the price of the last couple of decades in blood and taxes, has made that clear. But we do have interests, and we do need to defend them. Bad people hate us; we need to crush them. Trump’s foreign policy believes that the best defense is a good offense. The Kamala foreign policy thinks the best defense is a weak defense and that we don’t do offense. With the world going to hell, we had better pick a president who would listen to advisors taking America’s side in a fight.
