“let's take a moment to take stock of how we got here: 3 years of weakness from President Biden. From the very beginning, President Biden appeased Russia, he appeased Iran, and he appeased China. He gave Russia one-sided extensions of arms control treaties. He looked the other way at Russian aggression against America in cyber space or threats to our friends in Europe. With Iran, from the very beginning, he wanted to go back into the failed nuclear deal. He refused to stand up to attacks on American forces throughout the Middle East that Iran is behind. And, from the beginning, with China he begged and pleaded to turn down the temperature--the temperature that, I would say, China has been turning up for years. Then, of course, there was the collapse in Afghanistan, in September of 2021, which put all of our enemies around the world on notice that President Biden was not up to the task of protecting America or aiding our friends. Vladimir Putin began to marshal forces on Ukraine's borders a few weeks later, and then he invaded 2 years ago. For 2 years, President Biden pussyfooted around. He wouldn't give Ukraine the weapons it needed to defend itself when they needed it. And, to top it off, here at home, he opened our border entirely to an invasion of over 10 million illegal aliens.…”
