President Trump has gone from triumph to triumph in national security and foreign policy. Our military has been restored, our respect in the world is high, NATO slackers are paying up, and Russia, Iran, and China are on notice. But perhaps nowhere has the president achieved so much than in the Mideast.
Good relations are once again the order of the day with Israel, perhaps our best ally in the world. More than that, President Trump has ushered in peace deals between Israel and the U.A.E., Bahrain, and Sudan that promise a new level of regional stability in the Levant. But all could come undone with the election of Joe Biden to the presidency.
Sudan Will Join UAE, Bahrain in Recognizing Israel – when I started working in counterterrorism in the early 90s, it would have been too inconceivable to contemplate this development. Congratulations @realDonaldTrump … a real achievement! https://t.co/p9WvS4SdXl

Biden himself is problematic in this regard. His forty plus years in the Senate show no national security chops and no imagination in the Mideast. He has gone along to get along. When the party shifted so did he. His ultimate goal has been power and only that. So he’s made deals with whoever he has had to in order achieve it. The problem is that the deals have been with the socialist and antisemitic wing of his own party.
Socialist House members like Ocasio-Cortez, Omar, and Tlaib are no friends of America or Israel. They seek the destruction of both. Biden knows this. Or at least he once did until his current mental haze clouded his mind. These vicious thugs despise Western freedoms, okay- AOC is just probably dumb, and see Israel as an outpost of that freedom in the Mideast. Their ideological nation of choice, Iran, is also in the area and is also dedicated to Israeli and American destruction. All of them, including Iran, may have a very serious influence in American national security policy under Biden. This will turn the clock back before Trump to the pro-Islamist tilt of the Obama-Biden administration.
In case you’ve forgotten, that was the regime that gave us the Iran nuke deal, which permitted the eventual acquisition of Iranian nuclear weapons. Those weapons would have been aimed at Israel and other American allies in the region, not to mention at the U.S. 5th Fleet in Bahrain. This was the administration that sent last day in office palates of cash to Iran so it could continue to finance international terrorism. And the Obama-Biden administration saw the national humiliation of American sailors,on their knees, captured by the two bit Iranian Navy. Was there a response to that from Joe Biden or his colleagues? Not a peep. Wouldn’t want to offend our friends, the Iranians.
We could return to these days soon if America, and perhaps the courts, chooses a wrong path in the days to come. For our sake and those of our allies, let us choose wisely.
