Our credibility on the world stage is gone. The world is now a more dangerous place. Our leaders may be “woke” but are morally bankrupt.

Now is not the time to point fingers and play politics. We must come together as a nation and understand that the world is indeed a dangerous place full of bad actors. Pleading for mercy with religious zealots will never work. G-d help us if Iran or the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan get a hold of nuclear weapons.

Uh, bad news Alan. The JCPOA brokered by Obama (and never ratified by the Senate, which is why Trump could simply repeal it), basically allowed the Iranians to develop nuclear weapons after a sunset period that is now virtually over. It also didn't address Iran's development of ballistic weapons which can now reach Europe, nor did it address Iran's weaponization of conflicts in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Yemen. Incredibly, Biden has tried to resuscitate the JCPOA. And during the Arab Spring when the people of Iran were rising up against the ruling Clerisy, Obama was silent. America has a long history of incompetence with respect to foreign policy, but recent events have taken it to a whole new level. The current tragedy in Afghanistan is the latest and perhaps one of the most shameful examples.
