In 2012, @BarackObama set a red line with Syria on the use of chemical weapons. A year later, Assad gassed and killed 1,400 non-combatants. We did nothing.
In 2014, Putin invaded Crimea. We did nothing.
In September 2021, we abandoned Afghanistan in a sloppy withdrawal leading to the collapse of the country, handing our weapons and control to the Taliban.
In Feb. 2022, Putin invaded Ukraine. Since that time, we have slow-walked our military support for @Ukraine, failing to give them the armaments they need to win the war.
In our most recent budget debt crisis, we took @Ukraine out of the budget to keep the government temporarily open.
If Russia wins the war, we are handing control of the world’s bread basket to Russia, and Putin’s power and aspirations will only grow.
On September 18th, we agreed to release $6 billion to Iran, but ‘only for humanitarian purposes’ in exchange for five Americans. I remind us all that money is fungible. $6 billion for food and medical supplies frees up $6 billion Iran can use for terrorism and war. And I thought we had a policy of not negotiating with terrorists.
Why did Hamas invade Israel last night? Because the United States has consistently not kept its word on its foreign policy commitments and we look very weak.
Terrorism loves a leadership vacuum and we have created one.
We are politically divided. Our president is physically and cognitively challenged. And we are wavering on the commitment we made to @Ukraine to give them the weapons they need to win the war.
The world has become a much more dangerous place because we have not kept our word.
This needs to stop now or, dare I say, hell is coming. The world is a much safer place when the US leads, and it quickly can become a living hell when we fail to do so.
Now is the time for our government and Congress to show strength, solidarity and leadership and to follow through on our commitments to our allies and the world order.
We owe nothing less to our children.
