Biden's Global Legacy: Weakness on the World Stage

In his final address at the 79th UN General Assembly, President Joe Biden emphasized the need for diplomacy and peace, asserting that "this too shall pass." However, as Monica Paige from One America News reports, his administration has faced significant challenges over the past 3 1/2 years, leaving many to question the effectiveness of his foreign policy.

Since the controversial withdrawal from Afghanistan, which resulted in the deaths of thirteen service members, Biden's leadership has been scrutinized as adversaries around the world perceived a vacuum of American strength. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the ongoing war there, which Biden continues to fund with no clear end in sight, exemplify the consequences of this perceived weakness. Furthermore, the Biden administration unlocked billions of dollars to Iran on the anniversary of 9/11, nearly reaching a plea deal with those linked to the attacks, raising alarms about U.S. foreign policy priorities.

Israel, America’s strongest ally in the Middle East, has faced its own crisis, with Biden urging restraint in its military response to Iranian proxies amid a recent escalation. Nearly a year later, terrorists still hold American and Israeli hostages captive, and the conflict in the region is closer to escalating than ever, while Iran inches closer to developing nuclear weapons.

Amidst these tensions, Biden's approach to China has also come under fire, as the nation continues to intimidate Taiwan and conduct surveillance operations within the U.S. Unquestionably, Biden's legacy is one of challenges, as many Americans wonder if they were safer four years ago.

In a time of rising global instability, Monica Paige poses critical questions about the effectiveness of Biden's strategies, urging Americans to reflect on the consequences of his foreign policy decisions. Will diplomacy suffice, or does the world require a more assertive U.S. presence?
