Hayward: 7 Major Biden Disasters in 7 Months
Joe Biden’s first half-year in office concluded with a string of disasters and failures to deliver on his campaign rhetoric.
Afghanistan: Of course, the list must begin with Biden’s hideously bungled withdrawal from Afghanistan, a debacle that claimed the lives of 13 American military personnel on Thursday.
Biden’s Afghanistan disaster is likely to haunt the United States for years to come. Terrorists are emboldened far beyond the previous Democrat administration’s Islamic State disaster, which blew jihadi recruiting through the roof while President Barack Obama helplessly dithered, lectured stone-cold killers about being on “the wrong side of history,” and mumbled that it could take decades to do anything more than contain or “degrade” the ISIS caliphate in Iraq and Syria.
Sad echoes of Obama’s “wrong side of history” rhetoric could be heard in the Biden administration advising the Taliban to “make an assessment about what they want their role to be in the international community.” Such thoughts do not appear to be keeping Taliban leadership awake at night.
Jihadis are already celebrating American defeat in Afghanistan and the slaughter of U.S. troops under Joe Biden’s leadership. The Taliban now commands a nation-state that can harbor any terrorist groups it pleases, defend itself with billions of dollars in captured American weapons and military gear, and fend off future retaliatory actions with the great-power protection afforded by its business partners in China.
Coronavirus: Biden campaigned on getting the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic under control, but it most certainly is not. Cases continue surging unexpectedly and unpredictably, in states where the media likes the governor as well as states where the media hates the governor.
The vaccination drive devolved into an ugly political and cultural battle. Vaccinated Americans were stunned to find themselves subjected to coronavirus restrictions again, despite Biden’s promises that getting the jab was the key to getting normal life back. The unvaccinated grow increasingly furious as they are treated as second-class citizens.
Poll-watchers will note that Biden’s failure to live up to his sales pitch on coronavirus control is alienating independent voters. The American people increasingly distrust the government, and every other source of authority, including each other – a lack of faith clearly exacerbated by the seemingly endless coronavirus state of emergency, “scientific” declarations made with absolute certainty in one month and abandoned the next, ridiculous levels of hypocrisy from political elites who violate their own draconian coronavirus rules, and constantly shifting goalposts for the return to normal.
